Watch: 11.2007

I'm way to casual about picking these however, I like the following for no particular reason.

WSPI - 10.94

TGA - 5.33

AIS - 1.14

AAU - 2.86

Things I was looking for:

• Had to be highly rated on CAPS
• Chart had to show "potential" for growth
• Looking for stocks that had attempted to break the previous day's high.

Price: $9.40
Recommended on caps site, This is a wild guess in the dark as I have not learned anything yet.

Fundamentals:

• Free Cash Flow: -16.5 - .32 = -17MM
  
• Market cap: 129MM
• Debt: 9 MM
  
• Enterprise value: 128 + 17 + 8 = 153MM

  Stopped Researching at this point as I did not like what I was seeing so far...True Value seems to indicate a lot for a stock
