Gene,

Micro and really, really small "small caps" are my favorites. I review =
daily a list of stocks hitting new highs that day, using Marketwatch at =
the CBS site. My basic parameters are volume of 1000 to 500,000 shares =
traded that day, price from $2 to $20, market cap up to several hundred =
million (depending on your preference), and trailing PE of 1 to 100.

For CANSLIM criteria, I want RS at least over 80, but preferably well =
over 90. I will accept EPS ranking down to about 50 or so, but only if I =
can vocalize why earnings per share is ready to accelerate. I personally =
prefer funds ownership in the low single digits to zero (I like to be =
smarter and quicker than the average small cap fund manager), with =
management ownership well into double digits. I have had some of my =
better results with management owning over 50% of the issue.

While I like ROE well into double digits, I have had many winners where =
it was in the low single digits when I first bought it.

  Good luck, I saw it on many of my daily lists, but also could not =
convince
  myself that Karaoke (shudder) was making a come back.

  Guess I should have dug deeper despite my lack of singing talent.

  HI Tom, I thought it might have been an acquisition, but then I dug =
into the
  financials and listened to the latest conference call, and the bottom =
line
  is it was growth, pure and simple (I personally don't like Karaoke, =
but I
  guess there's a whole lot of wannabe Wayne Newtons and Spice Girls out
  there)

  SMD thinks they can continue to grow in the US (it would be great if =
they
  picked up the WalMart account) and then will also expand in Europe

  by the way, I had some other issues with the Balance Sheet, like the =
huge
  spike in A/R, but the CC cleared that too (they have already collected =
on
  most or all of the receivables)

  "sounds" good to me
