The latest balance sheet reveals HELE has significant cash and investment balances and that easily amounts to $2 a share in surplus cash.

"Valueline estimates they will have $30 a share in sales by around 2010 and $2.80 in profits." These numbers are very ambitious on the earnings line. They are expected to make $1.70 in 07/08. $2.80 in profits implies a 13% earnings growth rate if they are to hit that target by the end of 2011 and an 18% growth rate if they make it by the end of 2010. If they can grow at that rate, I'd be very very surprised.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/38880-aldia-inc-driving-value-changed-course-above-par-performance?source=feed#comment-89178 89178 Wed, 20 Jun 2007 11:07:45 -0400 Great value, but quite volatile earnings and underfollowed.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/36931-gm-s-balance-sheet-a-sign-of-impending-doom?source=feed#comment-87617 87617 Mon, 04 Jun 2007 00:13:43 -0400
Below that the chasm yawns.... and their recent sales numbers have been nasty.

GM on a technical basis looks like dogmeat. They had their Death Cross, the stock has pretty much flatlined, it has taken several runs at getting over the MAs and yet has been unable to hold. Stochastics Friday suggest perhaps another run at the MA level, perhaps up as far as to the 100 and 200 (which are nearly at the same place), but that looks like an EXCELLENT short entry to me if it gets there and can't break it. Of course a big break downward would be a good entry too; you get below $29, which is very strong support and you've got a pretty clear path down into the ~$25 range.

There's nothing to like about the US Automakers when it comes to "the big picture". Labor is still out of control, health care costs are stratospheric and there's no sign that either of these issues can be dealt with. The companies bought off labor action with unsustainable and unaffordable concessions years ago and frankly I don't see how they can get out of the box now, other than Chap 11 the mess, repudiate the obligations and tell the UAW to go screw.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/36931-gm-s-balance-sheet-a-sign-of-impending-doom?source=feed#comment-87437 87437 Thu, 31 May 2007 17:16:17 -0400
