Lack of posting .....

To the 5 people that are still regularly checking this blog .....thank you and I apologize for the lack of posting. I have been running at a pretty hectic pace lately with a lot of non-work and non-investment related issues taking up my free time.

So it appears that my blog schedule will be much like my personal investment schedule with periods of much productivity (not necessarily buying or selling stocks but researching) interjected with periods of little activity with little news flow from current holdings and little to be excited about in the way of new ideas.

There has been a lot of activity in the stocks I have written about on this blog:

INFS -- reported earnings today 10/30/07 and the stock popped 14%. Did not listen to the CC but my initial read is that things are heading in the right direction and the company could post a profit in the next 2 quarters.

BOOT -- reported earnings today 10/30/07 after market closed. By all indications the company blew away the quarter with something positive in every category. It will be interesting if the stock will move tomorrow considering there are some clear signs that NO ONE CARES about this company. There were only 300 shares traded today coming into the report which is low even for this company.

JCTCF -- reported earnings today 10/30/07 before the market opened. Skimmed over the release and while it looks like results were mixed, the story stays intact with higher margin non-wood products taking larger and larger portion of total sales and profits and still showing positive growth.

FTAR -- this is "the little engine that could" with the stock incrementally moving upward. The company has had zero in the way of newsflow since the last earnings release that I covered here but my guess that sales will be down more than the 9% decline booked last quarter. FTAR is right on the front lines of the recession selling low end footware to the lower end consumer. Plus the whether has been unseasonably warm which effect sales negatively.

CPY -- this is the stock with the most activity since I last posted on it on 6/11/2007. First, the stock is down to $33 from $71 on June 11th -- I bought for my personal account at $45 and $40 and will be looking to buy more. Second, the company completed the PCA acquisition and has started rolling out the digital upgrade. Third, Knightspoint has increased their ownership from 17% to 28% as the stock has fallen. I plan to devote more than a few post in the near future to this stock.
