Opinions from Howard Sutton

CommentOpenwave Systems IncOPWV-Q1.600Software that uses wireless networks for protocol middleware. Has about $1.50 per share. Expects it to be profitable in the back half of 2008. Dropped because of management change and the backlog going into 2009. Fairly safe risk/reward profile.2008-06-17
WAITWebTech Wireless Inc.WEW-T3.780Has GPS technology. Didn’t win the Brazilian contract for tracking stolen vehicles. Very high anticipation for growth. There’s talk of some big contracts coming down the pipe. He is watching.2008-06-17
BUYAllen-Vanguard Corp.VRS-T2.520Electronic counter measures for jamming explosives. Pull back was due to multi vendors supplying the military. Just won contracts with General Dynamics (GD-N) and the UK. Cheap on a valuation basis. Risk on the downside is pretty good.2008-06-17
CommentFeel Good CarsZNN-X5.040Electric cars. Trying to find a battery that will provide the energy for a longer period of time. Likes what they are doing but they are early.2008-06-17
CommentVMware Inc.VMW-N67.000Virtual technology primarily in the IT space. Microsoft (MSFT-Q) is coming out with their version this fall. This space will get a lot more competitive. 2008-06-17
TOP PICKVIQ SolutionsVQS-X0.630Hardware and software that digitizes courtrooms. Old world of courtrooms, stenographers, etc. will be moved into the new millennium. Won the US Dept of Immigration contract. European countries are mandating that courtrooms will have to be fully digitized which will be over $1 billion 5 to 8 year contracts.2008-06-17
TOP PICKResearch In MotionRIM-T144.820Market share of about 10% in Canada, 5% US and 3% UK. (About 1.5% globally.) Has a huge opportunity in Europe and the rest of the world. With the iPhone now being subsidized you are getting smart phones at the same price as high end cell phones..2008-06-17
TOP PICKProSh Ultrashort QQQ E.T.F.QID-A39.380A double short on the triple Q. He uses the QID calls (a proxy of the NASDAQ) as a cheap insurance proxy against a fall in the market.2008-06-17
BUYAbsolute Software Corp.ABT-T11.400Software that recovers lost/stolen laptops. Some disappointments in how quickly it was ramping and the stock pulled back. Just announced they are getting in the mobile space for managing/erasing files on handhelds. Risk/reward is looking pretty good.2008-06-17
CommentTriant TechnologiesTNT-T0.550Extremely large clients and pretty sophisticated software for fault detection to help monitoring primarily for semiconductor companies. Doing some flat-panel display work. The biggest hindrance is 1) it's a tough market for semiconductors and 2) it is too small and needs mass. Need some M & A.2008-05-05
CommentTimminco Ltd.TIM-T19.200Upgrades metallurgical grade silicon. The key advantage they have is cost. The supply/demand for solar is way out of whack. This will be corrected in a couple of years. The question is, can they go from 400 metric tons this year to 14,000 metric tons by 2010. If they can do that and keep costs under control, this would be a Buy.2008-05-05
CommentAllen-Vanguard Corp.VRS-T4.050When you look at the earnings, this looks really cheap. Doesn't own it, but thinks he should revisit it.2008-05-05
BUYWi-Lan Inc.WIN-T2.000The patent trolling/licensing sector took a hit because of a fear of a patent reform bill. It now looks like the bill is stalled and will not be going through. Has about $1 in cash. Has the capital to execute. So cheap, the downside is limited with potential upside.2008-05-05
DON'T BUYLyrtech IncLYT-X0.020Takes Texas instruments and chips and programs/customizes them for unique applications. There are better opportunities.2008-05-05
DON'T BUYMortice KernsMKX-T1.750Software company that helps other companies develop software and manage portals. Their challenge is to have a trigger that will move them forward. They have wonderful software and wonderful customers, but they have to ramp revenues.2008-05-05
TOP PICKVIQ SolutionsVQS-X0.400Digitize courtrooms but the application is also used in policing and healthcare. It's a great market and they are the best in the world at it. The global opportunity unfolding for them is just tremendous.2008-05-05
TOP PICKSierra WirelessSW-T18.690Really kicking butt in the market. Have cards that make the conductivity for laptops to run through cellular networks. Hitting the product cycle right, but even better is their main competitor Novatel Wireless (NVTL-Q) has missed their product cycle. Had a 50% run in the last couple of weeks, so wait for a pullback to below $17.2008-05-05
TOP PICKCorning IncGLW-N27.040A play on LCD televisions. They dominate the space in providing the glass for it. Historically trading at the low end of its earnings per share.2008-05-05
BUYActive Control TechnologyACT-X0.400Likes its wireless technology. Used in coalmines for underground communication and location of emergency disasters. Need regulatory approval and stock has pulled back because of the wait on this. He expects approval late March or into April. Think the stock will then go to the next level.2008-02-27
CommentTriant TechnologiesTNT-T0.810Software that goes into large semiconductor fabs to help monitor and fault detection. Stock price has been a disappointment. One of the largest semiconductor companies in the world is one of their customers. Challenge is its size for operating in a global environment. Its one major competitor was purchased by a US public company for an equivalent price of about $10 a share.2008-02-27
BUYaeromechanical ServicesAMA-X1.130Have devices that go on commercial aircraft that can stand, via satellite, real-time data information monitoring the different elements of performance. It also provides GPS and communication. Allows companies to schedule maintenance for better turnaround times. He is looking at this, as they get closer to final approval from China.2008-02-27
WATCHEnablence Technologies Inc.ENA-X2.930Deals with fibre to the home for broader bandwidth. Issue has been cost. Have a chipset that from the fibre to the home can dramatically reduce the cost. Very early in the stages of revenue. The big run-up has been on the expectation of them landing contracts. He prefers to see more revenue and cash flow so he missed this one.2008-02-27
DON'T BUYD-Box Technologies (A)DBO.A-X0.500D-box gives the feeling of movement during electronic games in the home. Chairs required are fairly expensive at $3500 and up. Company has never been able to show profitability.2008-02-27
TOP PICKVIQ SolutionsVQS-X0.315Taking old courtroom systems and digitize them. Includes videoconferencing for safety purposes. Thanks this will sweep global courtrooms. First win was the US Department of immigration. Their products are being sought for globally. Dirt-cheap. Looking for $.02 in earnings this year going to $.04 next year so is trading at 5.5X earnings next year.2008-02-27
TOP PICKOpenwave Systems IncOPWV-Q2.360This is a high flyer from 2000 that was over $15 and is now around $2.00! When looking at a train wreck, look for cash. This one has $1.70 of net cash. Their products are installed in 15 of the 25 largest global players. Has new management.2008-02-27
TOP PICKOpenwave Systems IncOPWV-Q2.180This was a disaster. Was a $538 stock in 2000. It is now $2.00 with $1.50 in cash. They have new management and new products with a huge legacy install base.2008-02-13
BUYCovalon TechnologiesCOV-X3.150An interesting little company. Have a wound care product. Also have intellectual property around coatings, basically silver-based, that prevents infection. As they get more partnerships on the coatings, the stock will move up.2008-02-13
WATCHaeromechanical ServicesAMA-X0.960Have devices that go on commercial aircraft. During the flight it can monitor and transmits real-time data to the ground crew. The big opportunity they see is in China. Have won a few aircraft there, but is waiting for more news.2008-02-13
CommentResearch In MotionRIM-T96.520Cautiously optimistic on the market, but is taking profits when he can get it. Sold his holdings this year. He would buy it for the long term, but he wants to keep his cash for the time being.2008-02-13
CommentEnablence Technologies Inc.ENA-X2.510Chip to bring broadband into the home through fibre. The issue has always been the cost of bringing fibre to the home. Their chipset is a piece of the puzzle but is dramatically dropping the price of providing services. Doesn't have revenue yet. There is huge expectation on delivery but you are getting into risk of execution.2008-02-13
TOP PICKVIQ SolutionsVQS-X0.180Extremely excited about what is going on. Feels it is now in a real breakthrough position. Has what he believes is the best solution for digitizing courtrooms. This company won The US Department of Immigration. They are now being loaded down with all sorts of bids of opportunities globally. Think they will do $0.015 to $0.02 of earnings this year, doubling to $0.04.2008-02-13
TOP PICKCiscoCSCO-Q24.060A defensive play. Dominates its space. Had a bad quarter but still ended up 1.3% on the day. It's safe and liquid. Trading at 15X 2008 earnings and 13X next year's.2008-02-13
DON'T BUYLyrtech IncLYT-X0.015Builds digital signal processing applications. They have failed to execute. A “show me” story. You want to see some wins and some traction and momentum in the marketplace.2008-02-13
BUYIntrinsyc Software IncICS-T1.100New management came in a few years ago developing a platform for wireless applications. They have a very intriguing platform. Everybody was waiting for them to get new partnerships and customers. That has just started to happen. Have landed a few customers, which allowed them to raise money. Cashed up with some initial customers. It's early on but not a bad buy.2008-02-13
CommentWebTech Wireless Inc.WEW-T3.650Basically a GPS application that did quite well last year but then had a terrible stumble in Brazil. Had done a deal with Volkswagen but it was an unmitigated disaster with all sorts of problems. Doing quite well with FedEx. Waiting to see more details on their contract. Still somewhat of a “show me”.2008-02-13
BUY on WEAKNESSIntelINTC-Q21.210Global domination in processors. Trading at about 14X current earnings and about 12X next year's earnings. If it pulls back to $18-$18.50, it's a wonderful entry point.2008-02-13
PARTIAL SELLAbsolute Software Corp.ABT-T15.450The stock has been outstanding. Has software for the recovery of stolen laptops. The success of the company has been its channel of doing deals with Dell, HP, etc. There has been some volatility in terms of patent infringement. Feels it is probably fully priced. If you own, consider taking profits.2008-02-13
BUYVIQ SolutionsVQS-X0.145Has been dropping because orders have been delayed. Has been buying more lately.2006-05-24

TOP PICKQualcomQCOM-Q45.590A Buy over the next couple of months. Summer is a weak period for techs so this could go lower. It owns the CDMA which is moving to 3G rollouts around the world. Strong balance sheet.2006-05-24

BUYZarlinkZL-T2.710Current earnings are very good but the outlook reported is a little bit muted. Has a ton of cash. Was a turnaround story. Now to take the next step, it has to become a growth story that he thinks it has the ability to do.2006-05-24

TOP PICKNeptune Tech & BioresourceNTB-X2.500Higher risk, but an extremely high return opportunity. They exploit marine biomass. They use krill oil for health products.2006-05-24

By a little bit at a time.2006-02-09
BUYIBMIBM-N80.400This would be a long-term holding. They have a variety of industries. Won’t be a rocket ship, but it's a steady performer.2006-02-09
DON'T BUYGoogleGOOG-Q358.770When you come at this stock from a technologist value oriented perspective, you'll fall off the cliff before you ever get to buy it. Difficult to value it. One of the things it is going to run into is that when you are coming off a small revenue base and moving into a large revenue base, it is difficult to grow.2006-02-09
TOP PICKElectroglas Inc.EGLS-Q4.450This is a microcap, high risk, high return play. Has tremendous technology. Manufactures a device that tests the wafer and the cell on semiconductors. This is a turnaround situation where they are winning back market share.2006-02-09

BUYVIQ SolutionsVQS-X0.230This company digitalizes courtrooms with their equipment that does the recording which allows the stenographer to be off-site. This is a micro cap with a market cap of $15 million and is roughly doing about that amount in revenues. If they execute, it has tremendous upside. Thinks they are going to earn about $.04 for 2006. Turnaround situation with new management and new product.2005-12-22

TOP PICKElectroglas Inc.EGLS-Q3.280They do advance wafer probers. The driver on this is that the devices they are selling are going to be needed in the 300 millimetre conversion when you go from the 200. If they win one, possibly two contracts the stock will move. He likes their technology. Good management.2005-12-22
DON'T BUYGoogleGOOG-Q432.040To him, this is a crazy buy. It is better to watch from the sidelines. He has been wrong on this. The larger the company is, the more difficult it is for it to grow.2005-12-22
WEAK BUYPalm Inc.PALM-Q31.800If you look at the last quarter, this is growing at 23% compared to RIM’s 17%. If you want to all this, don't jump in with both feet, but start to nibble at it.2005-12-22

DON'T BUYATI TechnologiesATY-T18.390In a great space. They kind of messed up. They were late in their launch in the high end product so Nvidia (NVDA-Q) ate their lunch. They need to expand their gross margins. There's a recovery plan in place. Almost full value now.2005-11-09
TOP PICKMedisystem Technologies Inc.MDY-T2.500A pharmaceutical for long term care facilities.
