Ford (Symbol: F) has been a declining company for some time. Over the past few years, it’s become even more evident as sales of their bread and butter vehicle, the F-series truck, have fallen—and show no signs of improvement. The stock closed at $8.86 on June 20.
With gas prices showing no signs of a pull back, many consumers are looking for vehicles with good to great MPG numbers. Many are moving away from trucks and S.U.V.’s.
Recently, United American Healthcare (Symbol: UAHC) was touted on TV as a stock to own. Through the magic of TV promotion, the stock has risen roughly 10% since then. But, is this really a stock to own or is the increase just typical temporary fluff?
UAHC has rebounded from its 52-week low of $2.77 and is now being traded at $4.74—as of close on Tuesday, June 19. It’s currently at an astounding P/E ratio of 59.3.
On June 29, Apple’s iPhone will finally be unleashed on the public. While it’s a potential homerun for Apple, is there a play to be made on AT&T (Symbol: T) or will the stock experience a pullback?
Recently, I’ve heard many stock traders touting AT&T. According to them, the stock is a “can’t miss” play. For those in the dark about why I’m talking about an Apple product and AT&T, let me explain.
AT&T, which bought Cingular, has a contract with Apple to be the exclusive service carrier of the iPhone. The actual time frame isn’t known, but most experts believe it’s a five-year deal.
There are a slew of companies due to announce earnings next week. One to watch for Monday is China Medical Technologies (Symbol: CMED). They will announce at 6 am EST. Their EPS is $0.31.
Here’s a listing of the companies due to announce earnings this coming week (June 18, 2007 – June 21, 2007).
Last night I was watching “On the Money” on CNBC and they had a piece about GPS Industries (Symbol: GPSN.OB), who makes a golf GPS system called the “InforemerHD.” The system looked polished, and I think it’s something that will continue to grow.
If you’re looking for a low-capital highly speculative play that might pay off, this just might be it. After doing some research into golf GPS systems, I learned that GPS Industries is 3rd in golf GPS system installations worldwide. They have their system installed at approximately 100 golf courses worldwide. GPSN.OB was trading at $0.11 per share on June 15.
Yesterday, I was venturing through various online stock communities and a few people were touting Revlon. They were saying that Revlon (Symbol: REV) could double. I decided to look into the stock.
As of today, Revlon is trading at $1.36, which is attractive for investors with very limited capital. However, this stock is going nowhere fast. Revlon’s 52-week high is $1.41 and that’s about where you’ll see it a year from now, because the company has no growth.
We’re now in the “money” season for Six Flags (Symbol: SIX) and all the indicators point to a possible stock price increase.
As of Wednesday, Six Flags was trading at $6.30 and it’s been in the $6 range for the better part of a year. Management for Six Flags instituted a 3-4 year “fix up” plan for the company and the results are already coming in.
On June 6th, 2007 I listened to the mid-quarter conference call update and CEO Mark Shapiro and CFO Jeff Speed shared some interesting insights.

My name is Jason A. Martin and this is my investment blog. Back in Jr. High School I fell in love with an electrical wiring company's stock on Wall Street. After following the stock daily in the papers—the Internet wasn't around back then—I sent them a letter and they sent me back all sorts of wonderful information about their company.
In High School, we had a stock market contest. All the kids were picking companies that made stuff they consumed. When I announced my beloved company, I was laughed at. Little did they know that my company was going to be the subject of a takeover soon.
Long story short, I won the contest and have made money in the stock market, through real estate investing, currency trading and so forth.
I hope you enjoy Financial Rebel. If you do, please leave your comments and share this site with those you know.
