| Comment | 3.060 | Robert McWhirter | Allows large diesel engines to be run on compressed natural gas. Huge tax incentives in the US, particularly California. Especially effective in Los Angeles Port for pollution reduction. Port has said they will buy the trucks and lease them back. Some debate on truck drivers being unionized or not, which is where it currently stands. In the top 25% of his database. Earnings expected to improve but will still be negative to 09. Speculative. He owns a small position. | 2008-04-08 | |
| TOP PICK | 3.160 | Robert McWhirter | Diesel engines that work on natural gas. Have approval for a $1.6 billion clean truck superfund. New legislation means that large polluting trucks will be removed. They have just received a $2.5 million contract. Speculative, but has broken out from a relative strength viewpoint as well as a price viewpoint. Strong possibility of increased sales in Australia. | 2008-02-20 | |
| BUY | 2.900 | Peter Hodson | (Market Call Minute.) Finally getting some traction. Signing deals. Relationships are starting to pay off. | 2007-11-26 | |
| BUY | 2.800 | Ron Meisels | Went through a bit of a correction that was slightly bigger than he would have expected. Came out of a big base building formation in April. Had a correction in July and is now ready to begin a new up leg. In the right kind of a fundamental area. The new floor is between $1.75 and $2.00. | 2007-11-23 | |
| DON'T BUY | 0.950 | Robert McWhirter | Earnings expected to grow from -$.23 to -$.19 and then to -$.12 in 2008. Ranks in the bottom 10% of his database. | 2006-07-25 | |
