Peebs: Nice call on DEPO, too bad I just read this post yesterday. Thought I might comment on a couple of the stocks. Baker had recomended that I buy Sirus about 12 months ago, I wished I would have pulled the trigger on that one. It has done very well since he told me. I can't buy stocks in the restaurant industry. It just seems like they go from being the "in" place to eat to places collecting dust. A friend had recommend a new restaurant stock Ruth Christie but I can't buy it.
I pick stocks more on the line of if it makes sense people will buy there product and if management does their job we both make money. I bought a bunch of CTE about six months ago and it just got FDA approval on a product and it went from $1.75 to $3.80, some profit taking happened and it is in the $3 range now, similar to DEPO I think it has some upside potential.
There was a news program in Minneapolis and they started by saying they don't do shows to promote products but this one seemed news worthy. When VIOXX was pulled from the market at the begining of the year people with arthrithus were looking for alternatives. An over the counter product called Celadrin (which can be in a cream or pill form ) was showing great success. They had testimonials from a couple people swearing up a down how this product changed their life (you would have thought it was an info commercial). It was probably the most respected 10:00 news channel in Minneapolis. The product works on both the joint and the muscle and is sold at places like Walmart and GNC. The product seems to be sold out all of the time. I tried some on my shoulder which I have bursitis and it feels great. The company that makes it is IAGX. The stock has about doubled in the last 12 months and is in the low $2 range. To me if you have a product the aging US population will buy and it works, it has alot of upside potential.
My last industry which I swear by is the hydrogen cell industry. If you could go back 20-30 years and picked an industry which was going to change the world it would have been the pc market and probably more importantly the software industry. Just think if you got on Microsoft 20 years ago and held it. The hard part would have been predicting who would be the industry leader but you would have made a ton. Hydrogen cell industry is going to be that next new industry to change the world as we know it and it will happen in my lifetime. If you have seen anything on hydrogren cell industry you know it is coming. Basically what is going to happen is your car will have a platform that uses hydrogen to power it. The exhaust is water!!! The arab will be able to eat their sand!! It is predicted that when you drive your car into the garage, you will "plug your house into your car". The platform will power your house. GM is showing it in its ads right now for buying cars at the employee price. The prototypes work and it is very cool. The next step is getting it to the market. These cells are being used in limited capacity on variuos other things like batteries for laptops power tools and generators. It is going to take over the world and there are more applications for this than velcro (velcro by the way was invented by a farmer in Kansas who came up with the idea from cockburrs on his sock and Playtex bought the patent and gave it back to him after a year because they didn't think they wasn't going to be much use for the product!!). I am hoping one of the stocks I buy will become the industry standard or the next Microsoft. QTWW makes equipment to dispense the hydrogen. The gas pump of hydrogen you could say. They have government contracts to develop this system and the Army is using this system to "refuel" some military equipment using the technology in the field. Alot of technology we have today was paid for by the military and then enters the public sector. It is a sock to check out.
The other one in the industry I choose was PLUG. When California was having their electrical problems a few years ago, the govenor Arnold was touting this company as having a way to help California, I also like the companies they are doing joint ventures with because they are well run (I think off the top of my head it is big players like Honda and GE but don't quote me on that). Both of these hydrogen cell companies have gat alot more attention with oil prices going up. Long term I think it will be good for this technology when the Bush?Cheney administration is no longer in office, they know the family bread is buttered by the oil industry and they aren't going to do much to help foster this industry. Its day will come and you heard it from Northern Star first!!

Great write up Northern,
I will definately check out all three stocks..
Anything in energy and catered towards an anging North American Population will be huge in the coming years.
Try and get some DEPO in the mid 5's to 5.75 range.. it will still make you a bundle in the long run.. I am so positive that this company will have such a chokehold on the diabetic industry that their new pill technology will revolutionize how medicine is given to patients. Not to mention they have a bout 3-4 viable products in their pipeline already. www.depomedinc.com is where you want to find out more.
Have a great day.

I wouldn't count on that. A lot of SIRIs upside is already priced into it, even at 6 and change. Plus any smart investor is going to be cautious of this stock when it posts NEGATIVE .625 earnings per share. Thats not good, and SIRI is asking for more money in loans. XM right now is the better play, although more expensive. Its more stable and is established. Not to say that SIRI won't be good in the future, especially if it does merge with XM, but for right now don't go selling the farm expecting it to run up to 10 bucks a share by December.

joelatti said:With all that has happened with OIL and Katrina market has been in flux, but the market has steppted it up the last couple of days.
You can see the initial buy recos above...I still see great value in ALL THREE
MOT now 23.02 up 19.28%!!
CBH now 33.90 up 13.78%!
SIRI now 7.41 up 24.92%!!!
I think we can ride these stocks thru NOV.
I bought MOT at 19.42, and sold it yesterday at 22.38, which was a nice little gain for me in a short term play. Granted, I still really like Motorola long term and still think its undervalued, but with the market set to be more bearish for the rest of 2005 a lot of market driven stocks will see a pull back.
I took all the money I made from MOT and invested it in STV, Sterling Construction. It is a great short term play pre-Rita, it has a lot of contracts with the state of Texas for heavy construction, ie. highways, roads, sewers, etc. Rita is gonna rip the Houston/Galvaston area a new one, and STV will be right there to rebuild. I also like that it is a bit diversified, since it works with wholesale distribution as well. This stock has sold off lately down to the 23 range, where I nabbed it yesterday. I think it can run to 30-35, so we'll see.
Budi...I hear you on the pullback of many stocks...I still LOVE Motorola long term and I continue to hold about 75% of my intial buy which was around 19.12. As for SIRI, your points are valid, but I also see this stock as a big, big winner down the line. By that I mean this is a stock that I think is one to hold and not look at everyday...its a long term stock, BUT I also like the potential for a nice run-up by mid-december to potentialy hit 9-10..that's why I've listed it here. As for CBH...bad earnings report last Q, but the company is an animal, they continue to rake in new customers at an unprecendented rate. They are taking over NJ, NY and have now bought around 75 bank branches in South Fla. I've been watching them for over 10 years. They have the right idea as far as personal banking goes and I think they can translate that into a winner on Wall Street. I have done some homework on your recco. I like the company and think your statements will hold true. I will add some to my portfolio today, right before close.
Thank you
Thank you
Yeah I definitely see where you are coming from. As I said, I do like it long term, but I just find it really hard for the stock to move a good 4 bucks a share by the end of the year. As far as STV, I hope you got in early in the day, because it ran up over 6% today. They have been getting contracts like crazy, and should be poised to get quite a few more in the coming months as the deep south tries to recover. I'm just glad I'm up already 10% with it!

If anybody wants a good restaurant to check out, look up GCFB, Granite City Food and Brewery. I own a ton of shares personally, and quite a few through my investment group. They have been opening up restaurants by the dozens it seems, and this stock will swing over to a profit VERY soon. I got it about 4 bucks a share, right now its at 5.50, but still a good value. Seriously, this could be another Brinker International. They have great food, a nice catchy product (Hand crafted beers), and very good management.

Great re-entry point ladies and gents for DEPO.
Was as high as 6.85 2 weeks ago.
The big rush came when ....
(Nasdaq:DEPO - News) announced today that Carl Pelzel has been promoted to executive vice president and chief operating officer. Mr. Pelzel, a proven biotechnology and pharmaceutical executive, joined Depomed earlier this year with over 28 years of experience in discovery, development and global commercialization of pharmaceutical products. "We are fortunate to have someone of Carl's talent and experience to assist with our transition into a commercial entity," said John W. Fara, Ph.D., chairman, president and chief executive officer of Depomed. "Carl has already assumed leadership of the company's operations to support sales and marketing. He will now work to enhance Depomed's commercial opportunities by rapidly developing products that have high market value. I will continue to build shareholder value through the acquisition and development of new products and technologies that will ensure Depomed is positioned for continued success in the future."
Don't miss out everyone, even you Northern.
Their Pipeline is STRONG with tons of FDA apporvals on the hoizon and with already 2 approved by the FDA.
Glumetza will be the biggest thing to hit the diabetes market since insulin was discovered.
Multi-dose delivery in one pill is the way of the future, and they have developed the technology to do it.
This one is headed for high teens in the not so distant future.
Good night all.
