Caterpillar and Intel

Monday, January 5th, 2004

I sold my shares of Caterpillar Stock today. I had originally purchased it in 1998 at $43.86 a share, and sold it today at $83.85. This decision was based on this “Stock Selection Guide” I built in Excel.

I’ll be keeping an eye on it, and if drops down to the buy range according to the SSG, I may pick it up again.

I am looking to sell Intel as well, if it gets around the 38 dollar level, as suggested by this stock selection guide. I originally purchased it in June of 2002 for $18.32.

AVI Biopharma treats kittens at Greenhill In Eugene

Thursday, December 4th, 2003

It is ironic that AVI Biopharma, a company I follow, worked with Greenhill Humane Society in Eugene, which I have visited. I guess it isn’t all that ironic since they are both in Oregon. AVI has seemed to help at least some of the cat population there.

Here is the article.

AVI’s “problem”. is that they don’t have enough money to complete Phase III trials of the various drugs they are working on. This means they have a grip of various avenues they could persue. Maybe someone will recognize the potential soon.

Europe’s RoHS Directive

Tuesday, November 18th, 2003

Europe has set up legislation such that products released in 2006 have to be lead free. There are additional material criteria as well, but the lead requirement is the most painful for manufacturers.

It will be interesting to see how the electronics manufacturers react to this requirement, as I’m sure it will change which suppliers are used.

CREE looking iffy

Tuesday, November 11th, 2003

This article from The Motley Fool mentions obnoxious and worrysome behavior by CREE at a recent conference call. I’m certainly going to avoid them!
