Shares Of Attunity Are Still Poised To Triple [View article]
Good points. One-year return is still impressive (over 100%) and the last call indicated that the first half of this year would be relatively quiet. No worries.

Valuable & Jazzyy,
My apologies. The article was about KOPN, so it slipped my mind to consider the other stocks mentioned in the article. Thanks for pointing it out. I will remedy it ASAP.
For the record, I have barely even looked at my position in HIMX, much less altered it. If you've read my methodology pieces (see ofile and instablog) you know that I am / was / will always be a terrible trader, but a very capable investor. I gravitated toward intermediate-term fundamental analysis in the 80s and 90s. Usually, my picks don't play out in days or even months. As for this story, it's just starting to unfold and I'm treating my position as such.
BTW, if I was a pumper who had exited my position, I think the stock would now be falling, instead of breaking out on no news...or mentions from me ;^). Further, if I DID sell my position, it wouldn't "prove" anything. That being said, I wouldn't blame anyone for questioning my integrity or intelligence (or both). People are entitled to think as they will...and I respect that.
All I can do is tell you that it was an honest mistake and thank you for noticing the oversight.

Enphlight,
Due to the high amount of work on Pipeline Data's plate, I haven't had a second to read the transcript. Clearly, things have not played out as I envisioned. This is not a surprise, since I seek to find companies that can either triple or tank (one triple + a total loss = a 50% average return).
That being said, it's still important to assess the current situation of the winners and losers alike. RMKR still has some nice assets (software) and capabilities. I also believe that the new mgt team is better than the old. Thus, the biggest issue right now is raising money and the dilution that is going to cause. Ugly situation, financially.
I dig deeper when my corporate responsibilities subside.

Hi All,
We've accelerated our article release schedule this week. Over the next two weeks, we'll be busy gathering Q1 data points for clients (on the large-cap companies we cover: ORCL, SAP, MSFT, etc).
Please excuse me if I'm not as responsive as usual during this time, but enjoy the extra research we've provided this week!

Crimson,
I hear you. Either way, it makes sense to take a good peak under the hood. Personally, I liked it as a short despite the Russell angle. However, if it pulls back to a 52-week low, it could start looking attractive. Considering the Russell selling pressure that is likely to come, we might see that scenario unfold sooner than later.

C.R.,
We're on top of that one. Actually, there are about 70 candidates on the long and short side. We're prioritizing. Recent price action is one of the criteria holding GV back for us. The stock has run very far, very fast and we don't have the expertise to determine if the fundamentals justify it. We're monitoring the situation though...

Crimson,
Great commentary. Love the depth. Our Russell series is not meant to provide deep fundamental analysis. We simply don't possess core competency on these particular stocks. This series simply predicts a single market-moving event (getting in or out of the Russell).
Sometimes we get deep, sometimes we uncover scoop (see HIMX articles), and sometimes we keep it shallow...and as our 2011 Russell article showed, the latter can be equally powerful. Your comments demonstrate exactly what an investor should do with it -- you added your own analytical depth.
Thanks & Kindest Regards,
Mark G.
p.s. just to be sure, we posted PERF as a possible SHORT (due to its exposure to being ELIMINATED from the Russell). From your comment, I'm not sure if you mistook it as a long idea. Your comments regarding debt and seasonality add meat to that thesis.

Safety,
I cede your point. My work is drivel. However, note that a modest contingent enjoys it (for whatever reason). I write for them.
Thus, you are too smart for this; wasting your time on a valueless shill. That is, unless you're simply indulging him for as long as it entertains. Speaking of which...

Why thank you, Safety. Please stand by while I forget my 25 years of experience and learn the proper ways! :^P
Just messing with you, of course. In fact, if you haven't read all of my past research, and more so if you've never read a Pipeline Data report, I can understand how our Russell coverage could be used to paint your impression of me/us.
The reality is, we do very very deep research and only stick to topics where we can add value. Things like the Russell coverage are low-hanging fruits that should be exploited, while we search for the precious Diamonds.

Hi Folks,
You all have good ideas and they warrant attention, but there's a very thought-out method to my madness. Besides, any investment method that holds the promise of yielding 18% in 6 weeks may be fanciful or worthwhile, but it is certainly not trivial. Taunting an analyst author to the contrary rarely yields positive response ;^)
I appreciate the ideas for follow-on projects, but take no offense if we don't follow up -- I get dozens per day.
Stay tuned for more Russell picks and Stocks to Triple...

safetymargin0,
I suggest that you re-read the context of BREW's inclusion in the article. I didn't say that BREW is a short. I said that it is "susceptible to bear raids that could knock them out of the Russell. If they succumb, it would add further selling pressure to the shares."
I happen to agree with your fundamental assessment, but Russell doesn't care about that. They have other criteria for membership (and none of them have anything to do with how great the company is). Thus, if the stock drops precipitous for ANY reason (i.e. a bear raid), it could be knocked out of the Russell.
We've spent several years learning about how this works. It's not always fair, but it is always predictable...

FYI, we also highlighted QADA this weekend (http://bit.ly/ZkZUPw). It's one of our favorite low risk / high reward long ideas.
Enjoy all the new research we released today!
