Now, however, MTMC is back to our buy level, where it can be accumulated for long-term growth in the company s basic business. SoftNet Systems is different sort of animal. The company provides broadband services, including fast Internet, to cable TV system operators. But SOF is getting some larger systems too, most recently the leading independent cable operator in Ponce, Puerto Rico. The stock is firm even though SoftNet recently registered a 3 million share secondary offering.
Discrimination is necessary when trading stocks.
The choice is harder with a SoftNet greater long-term potential, more solid company. Object Design is the stock that s acting worst among our recent suggestions, though it shows signs of bottoming. The company s new data base software is ideal for Internet applications, but it takes time for technology like this to find a market. A strategic marketing partnership recently was signed with Micro Modeling, and Integral Access will put Object Design s software into its network management platform. We suggested two chip stocks that are both up.
