FSYS: Bull or Bear?
Fuel Systems Solutions: More Gas Left in the Tank
FSYS
-3.77%
in
2 days
(closed on 08/10/08)
<>Fuel Systems Solutions (FSYS) really hit one "out of the park" when they reported second quarter results. Revenue rose 50% from $65.6 million to $98.3 million, generating a ten fold earnings increase to $.29 versus $.03. If it wasn't for a non-cash impairment charge of $3.9 million relating to its Australian operations, the company would have delivered a staggering $.54 EPS (almost twenty times higher than the same quarter last year.) FSYS's gross profit margin increased an astounding 700 basis points from 22% to 29% while its SG&A costs were slashed 17% from 14.1% to 11.8%. The company's l...

I didn't expect to be writing about Fuel Systems Solutions (FSYS) again, especially the day after completing my previous piece. I anticipated that Thursday's news would propel shares nicely higher, but I was totally blindsided by the intensity of FSYS's rally. I mentioned earlier not to even contemplate selling shares before the $50 mark was reached. <>Who would have ever imagined that the share price would swell almost 29%, <>exceeding my target price in a <>single trading session?!  I suppose Friday's 300 point Dow rally didn't hurt matters either.

5% of index allocated to FSYS.
Update: Filled at $41.91 @ 1:10 pm.
Fuel Systems Solutions (FSYS) is clearing a somewhat short and choppy base on good volume today. Analyst estimates have ramped over the past quarter. Explosive EPS growth and low debt. That FSYS's breakout is following shortly after the general market's follow through is all the better. Even better still is that FSYS is being joined at new highs with many other glamour leaders. I have added FSYS to the Glam 5 Index and will be closely watching it's action. I will use stop losses in the 4-8% range to limit my risk.

Looks like Fuel Systems Solutions (FSYS) is getting some attention from mainstream outlets - Friday it was presented in Investors Business Daily and lo and behold later in the day, Mr. Jim Cramer was touting it on his show. Frankly, I get much unease when Cramer highlights any stock I own, especially of the smaller cap type, because of the type of investors whom he brings (in, out, flip it, rip it, punch it, kick it, pump it, and scream Boo Yah) Most people are happy with the quick bounce his hordes bring, but myself... not so much.
In fact with the market so punishing I am going to use th...

Profiting from the Pickens Plan: FAN, Clean Fuels, Fuel Systems

As many of you probably know, oil speculator extraordinaire T Boone Pickens has a plan, a plan to save the world from itself in the form of clean energy (well sorta, more on that later). Mr. Pickens, I applaud you for your efforts and for stepping up at a time when government agrees to disagree on just about every issue including investments in green energy solutions. <>The Pickens Plan was announced a few days ago and its aim is simple, at least on paper. Decrease our dependence on foreign oil and do it now with the use of wind power and powering vehicles with natural gas, both of which...

T Boone is everywhere today [May 20: Oil to $150 by End of Year] - CNBC, Good Morning America, USA Today - and since our leadership is ignoring the problem.... err solving the problem by suing OPEC and proposing gas tax holidays - he has launched his own website "The Pickens Plan" and a publicly tirade, err campaign. Thankfully he is incredibly rich so he can afford to do this and get the facts out in front of the people. Middle class people in this country with ideas need to either band together in huge groups to aggregate their money, or be left out in the cold. So we need to get the m...

Fuel Systems Solutions: Time to Take Profits
FSYS
-61.42%
in
39 days
(closed on 08/10/08)
Fuel Systems Solutions (FSYS) has had a tremendous rise since my piece back in April. The shares have nearly quadrupled in less than three months and are due for a correction, They have simply gone up too far in too short of a time frame.  The shares are pricey: Trading at 38 times 2008 earnings estimates and nearly four times book value of $9.70, the stock is vulnerable to some hefty selling if FSYS fails to execute its business plan flawlessly, as this equity is priced to perfection and beyond.

MACD is bullish, although it has fallen to the same level as its signal period. However, healthy levels of volume indicate the market ...

Fuel Systems Solutions's (FSYS) business model is based on crude at $40 a barrell, and
at oil almost triple that amount, the company is reaping the
dividends.<!--more--> FSYS is a alternative fuel supplier that produces products
