Remaining Bullish on Medical Software QSII

57%

+95.00% in 688 days I was positive about QSII starting late last year and just over the past couple of weeks, thanks to solid earnings that confirmed the company's value, the market has decided to share my sentiments. We may be seeing a bit of an overreaction to the good news from the momentum traders and the like. The subsequent pullback is enough evidence of that for me. I still remain confident in the future prospects of medical records automation, even as economic pressures in the U.S. continue. With a ton of baby boomers looking at retirement over the next few years, it's a good place to be. I won... Continue reading »

Limit Buy Order List

34%

I've received some requests for what I have in my growing limit buy order list, so I've decided to do an update with current candidates. Keep in mind I don't intend for all these to hit; I have staggered prices along the way and in different buckets with the hope that maybe half a dozen will eventually hit as we had happen Friday with Myriad Genetics (MYGN). Some will require a 5% drop, some will require a 30% drop. Many of these names I've been chasing (or is it waiting?) for the better part of 2 months. I'll put them into different broad sectors (if you will) to showcase that thinking -... Continue reading »

Bookkeeping: Short Shanda Interactive (SNDA)

34%

With Quality Systems (QSII) taking me out of my short position, I am going to replace that 4% short exposure with a stock I've been stalking for the entire month of August; which despite the euphoria on green shootery refuses to spike to my countless limit order locations; Shanda Interactive (SNDA). [Aug 7, 2009: Shanda Interactive - Weak] So I am just going to do a market order here in the $48.20s now that I have a "slot" open on the dark side of the portfolio. This is just a technical scalp type of trade with hopes for a cover in the $44s, and a stop out above the 50 day moving average (i... Continue reading »

Bookkeeping: Stopped Out of Quality Systems (QSII)

34%

Considering this market is up 6% straight, and on it's sixth straight positive day we are not taking a huge amount of damage on the short side. A few names have been completely flaccid during this entire rally, and a few others while rallying have stopped doing the "+5% a day gain" dance. Quality Systems (QSII) had been ok up til today; we shorted August 10th in the mid $53s; I had originally placed my stop order at $54.25 but moved it up 20 cents yesterday to give it more leeway, but that level was just breached and we'll be out of the position for a 1.7% loss. (current price $54.54) No ... Continue reading »

These companies have complex needs and rely upon ERP systems. The major Tier I players are SAP (SAP) and Oracle (ORCL).
