Tom or others: =20

I've been looking at SYPR.  I noted that the company announced =
commencement of a public offering of 3.6M shares priced at $14.50 on =
Thurs.  The original SEC registration statement was announced on 2-8-02. =
 There are 9.90M shares outstanding so that seems like a significant =
dilution when figuring per share earnings and revenue.  What's your =
experience with stock prices after this type of public offering.  Does =
this provide support for the stock price at $14.5, do you see a lot of =
quick profit taking, does this prolong a base or cause a correction due =
to earnings dilution, are they are guidelines here.  This type of =
situation occurs over and over again with these microcaps and I'm not =
sure how to react.   Thanks.

  FOMC
  The Feds met on Tuesday, and as expected shifted the bias from =
recession fighting to neutral. Nonetheless, there was still the 10% that =
hadn't got the word, or refused to believe the signs, and sold as if =
this news was a surprise. I have already seen considerable talk of the =
Feds beginning to raise rates as early as the May meeting, but so far =
see little evidence to support this. While rate hikes may happen before =
the end of 2002, I see no reason to believe they will start until after =
the June meeting, at the earliest. Now, if they shifted all the way to =
inflation fighting, THAT would have been a surprise. We're still =
recovering from a recession, the Feds won't upset the apple cart, at =
least not yet.=20
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------=

  HWP / CPQ
  Gee, this is almost like a Presidential election in Florida. HP claims =
victory, will own Compaq, with a 0.5% victory margin. Walter Hewlett, =
leading the HP family's opposition to the merger, says a recount will =
turn victory into defeat for HP's management. Love those hanging chaffs, =
let's turn a boring merger vote into front page news, and keep it there =
for a few days, or even a few weeks. Of course, no one has yet figured =
out whether this "merger of giants" will actually allow them to: a) =
compete against IBM; b) achieve any synergy of customer base; c) achieve =
any production efficiency or cost savings; d) build a better product =
that can compete better in either the printer or PC box market.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------=
- -----

  TRADE DEFICIT
  Widened again, to $28.5 billion, up 15% from December. Year 2001 was =
the first annual decline in six years, but rising price of oil will =
likely weaken Q1 GDP.=20
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------=
- -----

  ECONOMICS
  New housing starts jumped 2.8% in February, biggest gain in over three =
years and well above expectations. Single family home construction =
jumped 7.4%, biggest gain in over 23 years. Building permits also rose =
1.8% and over expectations.=20

  CPI - Index rose 0.2% overall as expected, but the core rose 0.3%, =
slightly over expectations.

  NEW UNEMPLOYMENT CLAIMS - Fell to 371K from a revised 383K, expected =
was 375K. This continues to support the view that the economy is =
stronger, and recovering faster, that the Feds perceive, and could lead =
to rate hikes sooner rather than later.

  LEADING INDICATORS - Unchanged, expected was a rise of 0.1

  WORLEY'S WATCHLIST WANNABES
  Population of stocks under review this weekend somewhat reduced. As =
always, a "Bx" means a flat line "B"ase of "x" weeks duration, IMO. I =
will mention other specific formations, such as c&h, double bottom and =
LLUR.

  AAON - stealth (low vol) b/o from B3
  ACDO - 7 week consolidation base, huge earnings growth and 5 year rate
  ACS - decent c&h for a former LLUR
  AVD - LLUR, may be breaking its pattern upward
  DCOM - LLUR
  DLX - LLUR
  FRED - volatile LLUR
  FRS - B4
  NWRE - B2, low priced micro cap
  ODP - B5+
  PENN - B4
  PETM - LLUR
  PSTI - B3, in my VR Fund
  SYPR - 10 week consolidation, in my VR Fund
  TASR - volatile 10 week consolidation base, in my VR Fund

  Happy Hunting,
