CRDC

I love that play.

Gonna get back into the stock early next year, the stock is just in the doldrums.

Its a smaller float stock with very little following, very little debt and FDA approval, I wouldnt be shocked if this is a double plus this year. I considered it to be my play this year but went with Delta instead.

I jumped into CRDC today @$3.62. 

Anyone know what the catalyst is for the ~ 25% pop today?  Not real heavy volume though.

Earnings are tomorrow and they took it down a TON on no news or any good reason.

The move today was nice, but this is a 20 plus buck stock when the product grabs market share..anything under 6 bucks is a steal longer term..but they have to execute.

Any opinions on the earnings report?

Depeche,

Looked reasonable to me..revenue numbers stronger Q over Q, R&D numbers were higher as they try to train and ramp up.

The company still is not to critical mass or the PPS would be much higher..early innings still and since surgeons have to be TRAINED on this, it isnt a POZN style drug where you market it via commercials and physicians write scripts, it will take LONGER to get to that critical mass, but when it does the repeat business should stay constant for a VERY long time.

CRDC finally showing life.  Doubled in the last two sessions, now $2.63.  What do you guys think, where do we go from here.  I'm still underwater.

Depeche,

I'd expect a retrace back, big volume for the stock today but longer term it is still a deal.

I will repurchase my sold shares if it gets back to 1.35 again..

Check this thread out, read all the author writes (the two posts close together), it is a great summary of the Cardica product-

Bump

CRDC up 40% on peer-reviewed publication validating its procedure.

wall, what do you think?

I sold some shares that I bought at 1.20 for 2.60 today, holding half of my position though.

This publication was about another application they have, not the core application..it was for their medical stapling tool.

This could take a while but I dont see how given the multiple products that this isnt a 10-15 buck stock, or why ISRG does not snap them up down here, their product line works with the ISRG Robot.

CRDC finally catching on lately.  From $2.50ish to $4.40 in the past few weeks. 

I sold a bit that I had purchased much lower, but still holding plenty.

Its had nice volume and good buying interest the last week plus.

Wow, nice job Wall...  

Well Ive been holding her for a very long time, but sometimes it takes a while until the market realizes how great a stock is. I am more often early buying and selling.

Another gem I've been holding for several years is UVE, a florida based casualty insurer who pays out a current 8% yield, but for me with my cost basis I think I am in the 15-16% div yield range.

These few offset my current crappy FAZ holding.

That's some good work, Wall...

Even at no growth.... provided UVE keeps paying their dividend at the same rate.... 15-16% is really a great rate of return.

Don't know how you uncover these gems, but that's solid. 

Well its a high risk play. Being a Florida insurer is very risky, they get hit with a few bad weather cycles and it could hit their bottom line.

Over the last year though, they have purchased re-insurance to reduce the risk to a large degree.

CRDC rocketing higher again today up 15%.

Pushed right to 5, this kind of slow rise makes me think it could go to 7.

It took 2 years, but finally making some money on this bad boy
