Pittsburgh, PA (SpeculatingStocks) - GNK (Genco Shipping & Trading Ltd.) – GNK is involved in the ocean transportation of drybulk cargoes through the ownership and operation of drybulk carrier vessels worldwide. GNK has just started to uptrend after being in a slide since last November. GNK seems to be a value play at a market cap of only around $212 million.
EXK (Endeavour Silver Corp.) – A lot of talk out there is that silver is a good place to invest. Silver hasn’t gone up nearly as much as gold. EXK is exploring for silver primarily in Mexico. The company has grown revenue the past three years from $39.3 million in 2008 to $50.7 million in 2009 to $86.5 million in 2010 and net income last year of over $7 million. EXK has a clean balance sheet with significant cash and investments and very little long-term debt.
SLW (Silver Wheaton Corp.) – SLW is another silver play that is starting to be buzzed about. It looks like the stock is about to eclipse the $40 mark and possibly move to around its 52-week high of $47.60.
ANN (AnnTaylor Stores Corp.) – ANN is emerging from a slight double-bottom situation and saw significant volume in its last trading session. We could possibly see ANN move to around $26 to fill the double bottom.
KBH (KB Home) – KBH is at a 52-week low. The strategy of some investors is to invest in stocks at their 52-week low, thinking that they may turn around. KB Home operates as a homebuilding and financial services company. The real estate market is still in rough shape, but it could be the time to start looking for some bargains in the industry. KBH may be one of those bargains.
LNKD (LinkedIn Corporation) – This is a name that many know well. It has been very popular with Twitter users. LNKD has created a double bottom of sorts in its chart. If the market rebounds even a little bit, we wouldn’t be surprised to see LNKD to pop to around $105, especially with the number of eyes on LNKD.
BPAX (BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) – BPAX is a specialty pharmaceutical company that develops products for female sexual health and oncology. BPAX is currently around $2.22 a share. Insiders have recently be purchasing shares of BPAX during August.
ODP (Office Depot, Inc.) – ODP is trading right around its 52-week low. Competitors have been cutting into ODP’s revenue the past three years and its showing in their stock. In the last three years, ODP has been lower than its current price. In March of 2009, ODP traded below $1.00 and later trending up above $9.00 by May of 2010.
RGR (Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc.) – RGR has been one of the strong stocks to weather the recent stock market downturn. Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. engages in the design, manufacture, and sale of firearms in the United States. The company has won both handgun and rifle of the year by the Shooting Industry Academy of Excellence. RGR doesn’t have any long-term debt on the balance sheet and has over $76 million in cash, cash equivalents and short term investments.
PEIX (Pacific Ethanol, Inc.) – PEIX produces and markets low carbon renewable fuels in the western United States. In late July, the company reported Q2 record revenue of $215 million, but a net loss of $4.7 million compared to a profit of $109 million in Q2 a year ago.
