Cheap Stocks

We focus on undervalued small-cap stocks. Usually with a large cash cushion. We have developed a valuation formula that has been highly successful, especially on small tech stocks. Since 2006, we have closed out 49 stock positions with an average gain of 37%. 9 stocks have been taken over.

More of the same.............

Our worst week of the year. Despite the brief rally in the markets, down, is the direction. Hopefully some good earning reports will appear for our stocks in the next couple of weeks and we will get some upwards pops. MIVA is our biggest dog, but PDLI is catching up. Last week we had 1 up, 9 down. CAW is looking interesting (see below). Since the start of the year we are still 9 up and 5 down. No buys or sells this past week. Looking at a number of stocks that look cheap--and they continue to get cheaper the longer we wait. We would rather miss them than make a mistake.

CAW-(Buy price $9.45, Valuation $18.40). Closed down $.20 for the week at $9.78. Yield about 3%. A group called Costa Brava Partnership is offering to buy the Class A stock at a "substantial premium". Hopefully this is the catalyst we have been waitng for. CB owns 7.9% of the stock. Maybe management will do something for us shareholders to unlock the value here. Up 3% so far. HOLD.

QADI-(Buy price $6.93, Valuaton $11.86). Closed at $7.34, down $.36. Up 11% so far. HOLD.

PDLI-(Buy price $19.31, Valuation > $30)--Closed at $16.51, down $.75 from last week. Now down 15%. Still a BUY.

MIVA-(Buy price $3.80, Valuation $9.10). MIVA closed at $2.75, down $.05 from last week. Now down 28% on this one. HOLD.

Datawatch-(Buy price $3.66, Valuation $9.31). Closed at $3.61, up $.01 from last week, still a loser--down 1%. The discount to the valuation is just too big. Still a BUY.

Inforte-(Buy price $4.11, Valuation $7.32). Down $.02 to $4.77 last week. Still up 16%. HOLD for $6.00.
