Gametech International - Gmtc

 

Short MED, Hope tomorrows Barrons article doesn't cause it to gap down too much. Watch this drop to 9 from 11.73 by 1 oct (hopefully the majority this week) I'll take a position if I can get an uptick above the 11.85 level.
I hope it can drop the 10% I see as GMTC's remaining upside, I bailed friday at 9.10 but I like it to $10. Good luck if your holding that Mo.
Anyone gonna take RMBS this week? I don't hold any but I followed it real closely last week and like it a lot long term, I may call my Merrill guy and add that to my investment portfolio, anyone interested in the research let me know, I can post the Merrill, Reuters and I think a couple other reports from this past week.

NATUZZI SPA ADS (NYSE:NTZ) short please.

A bad house in a poor neighborhood. they report earnings this week, and the price is running with no volume. i think its a weak quarter: they make sofas and chairs and i see this as a downstream play on weaker housing. first you short the builders, then you short house related retail (like hd or ntz) and then finally you short housing lenders, especially subprime. like all retail, though, it always comes down to the brand. and with folks nervous about uncertain economy, imported leather furniture, i believe, should be the first to feel it.

Disclosure: i have not, and do not plan to buy or sell ntz. earnings plays are way too heart attack for my taste. good luck all!

apologies, but i wanted ntz short, so that .57% should be red. thanks in advance!
