Tom, Ian
Just curious...where do you get $.16/Q EPS estimates? I took a *very* =
quick glance at the last 10Q, are you basing this on the acquisition in =
2000?

I agree, Ian. My second trip on this stock has nearly made up the loss =
from the first voyage. Looks more promising now than the first time I =
tried it. Sequential growth particularly impressive.

Thanks a lot for the chart analysis. The low volume during the new =
high to $13.50, and the high volume/no progress days on 1/10, 1/11, and =
1/15 were the things that concerned me. I convinced myself that the =
low-volume high was just a case of 'too much, too fast' off the $5 =
October low. The recent high volume/no movement days are what concern =
me.
There shouldn't be much concern with P/E. The company claimed that =
Q4 2001, and Q1 2002 were already filled with existing backlog, and I =
figure that a minimum of $0.16 per Q is easy - so 4 months from now, the =
ttm EPS will be at least $0.70 if not more, and the P/E at current =
levels would be under 20. Given their industry group and recent growth =
rate, a much higher price could easily be supported. But I would like to =
see more signs of volume accumulation here.=20
After the next earnings report the IBD EPS ranking should go over =
85, and the RS is over 90 already, so it should start appearing on IBD =
radar screens for the first time - including the weekend review. Perhaps =
it will be a month or so before the next clear direction becomes =
visible.
Thanks again,
Ian

Hi Ian,
Your question has me wondering whether the sell rules that I =
follow translate perfectly to thinly traded stocks. But I'll tell you =
what I see and the way I would read it if I were to own it:
-After the B/O at 7.13, stock moves up and consolidates for about =
5 weeks. This is a "valid" consolidation so that makes the previous base =
low 8.01 which was printed on 11/23/01.
-Just as a quick check for "overextension" that means that the =
stock is 70% above the 200dMA (7.02), 15% above the 50dMA (10.43) and =
49.6% above the base low (8.01). It gets a yellow flag for being 70% =
above the 200dMA according to WON's sell rule #34, but does not get a =
red flag for the Rubberband Sell Rule.
-After the consolidation and breakout 12/18 the stock has started =
to show signs of stress. This could easily be market related, but no way =
to tell.
-1/2/02: New high on low volume. Red flag.
-1/10/02 & 1/11/02- two days with little or no price progress on =
high volume. Red flag.
-With 1 yellow and 2 red flags I thought it worth doing a PE =
Extension check. I've reconstructed the PE at the time of the B/O in =
October using trailing EPS numbers for the prior quarters. That puts it =
at $7.13/$.29 =3D 24.59. The extension warning would then be a forward =
PE of 24.59*2.21=3D 54.3. Let's see. DGO doesn't have any estimates, =
which means it isn't followed by enough analysts. I checked the internet =
to see if I could find anything and ran across this EPS/Rev snapshot:
=
http://yahoo.marketguide.com/MGI/mg.asp?target=3D/stocks/companyinformati=
on/highlights&Ticker=3DELTE
I am alarmed by the essentially flat revenues over the last 4 =
years, so I am going to go with the EPS estimates in my VectorVest =
software which reads a measly $.02. That puts the current forward =
looking PE at $11.98/$0.02 =3D 599! I'll have to mark that Red Flag.
One note is that its industry is fairly healthy, consolidating =
after rising, not overly extended and currently ranked in the 2nd =
quartile.
I'll let you take it from there!
