The company makes medical diagnostic equipment and reported earnings on 30 July of $0.33 for the third quarter of 2008.  In their conference call they said introduction of a new device for detecting breast cancer would be delayed.  Comapny is well diversified as almost 50% of revenues comes from outside the US.   They have ample cash on hand, with a current and quick ratio of 2.29 and 1.70 respectively.

Hologic (HOLX) is an old favorite of mine. I last reviewed the stock on July 25, 2006 . I have been an owner of shares in the past and my stock club has also owned shares at times. In fact, Hologic was the purchaser of Cytyc (CYTC) a stock that was a terrific performer.

(closed on 11/06/07)
A few moments ago I noted that my Hologic stock (HOLX) had hit the 8% loss level and I sold my 120 shares at $50.80. These shares had been purchased 1/31/07 at $55.58, so I incurred a loss of $(4.78) or (8.6)% since purchase.

I am now down to 17 positions. With a sale on "bad news", I am not 'permitted' to go and look for something else to buy. I don't need to read the headlines on the miserable stock market conditions. My own portfolio is talking to me loud and clear. And I shall be sitting on my hands monitoring my other stocks as my portfolio more or less 'automatically' is shift

...Just before the close of trading my Wolverine World Wide (WWW) hit the first sale point at a 30% appreciation target. Being under my maximum holdings with only 13 positions out of my potential 25, this gave me a "permission slip" to add a new position. Checking the top % gainers list, I saw that Hologic (HOLX), another old favorite of mine had hit the list. I checked and saw that they came in with strong earnings and had raised guidance....both big positives for a stock.

Shortly before the close of trading (at 3:55 pm exactly :)), I went ahead and purchased 120 shares at $55.49.
