CAW, MIVA,OPTO.ob etc.

Last week we had 4 up, 6 down, 1 even. Since the start of the year we are still 10 up and 3 down and 1 even. No buys or sells this past week. CAW made a nice upside move, but MIVA went the other way.

CAW-(Buy price $9.45, Valuation $18.40). Closed up $1.19 for the week at $10.41. Apparently releasing their earnings twice worked a bit, they were good. Yield about 2.5%. Up 10% so far. HOLD.

QADI-(Buy price $6.93, Valuaton $11.86). Closed at $7.85, up $.12. Got up over $8 several times last week--but then Friday happened. No news. Up 13% so far. HOLD.

PDLI-(Buy price $19.31, Valuation > $30)--Closed at $18.70, up $.29 from last week. Now down 3%. Still a BUY.

MIVA-(Buy price $3.80, Valuation $9.10). MIVA closed at $3.55, down $.50 from last week. They warned on this quarter's earning. They will miss sales by 2-3 million and bottom line too. They didn't say how much. Will update valuation when all the numbers comes out. The valuation will go down, but not enough to cause us to sell yet. Now down 7% on this one. WAIT.

Datawatch-(Buy price $3.66, Valuation $9.31). Closed at $3.48, down $.10 from last week, still a loser--down 5%. The discount to the valuation is just too big. Still a BUY.

Inforte-(Buy price $4.11, Valuation $7.32). Down $.11 to $4.65 last week. Still up 13%. Hold for $6.00.

OB-abies

Linn.ob-(Buy price $.36, Valuation $.79). Closed at $.36, down $.02 from last week. Now even on this one. Still a BUY.

OPTO.ob-(Buy price $1.25, Valuation $2.88). Closed at $1.30, down $.10 from last week. They announced that the CEO sold 200,000 shares last week. Never a good thing, but it is like 3% of what he owns. Stock just can't get out of its own way. In the plus column up 4%. to date. HOLD.

AVSO.ob-(Buy price $1.19, Valuation $3.81). Stock fell $.10 from last week to $2.05. Now only up 72%. BUY

CTIG.ob-(Buy price $.27 ask, Valuation $.82). Ask price stayed the same at $.38 last week. Closed at $.35. Cash is $.28 per share. Up 41% (based on asked price). HOLD.
