update STKL:

This was an extremely tough call this evening.. instead of selling STKL with our nice gain here we will give it an extremely tight stop assuring us a gain of at least 20%.. and giving STKL a bit of room to continue its run.

The volume today is extreme but it came on the day that STKL broke to new all-time highs.. which balances this out.  The stock continues to run with the ethanol plays.. and we dont mind although ethanol is a small part of their business(as far as the comapny says so far..)

Another reason we considered a sell at these levels is that we are near a fibonacci extension target(138.2%).. and the FOMC coming up.. but lets not kill this feeding frenzy right off the bat.  The market is always right and I hope it wants a nice gap and run tomorrow. 

------
Position: bought STKL @ 9.65 on 4/27/2006

13:44  STKL SunOpta: Ethanol is no longer call option - Canaccord Adams (11.47 -0.30) 

Canaccord Adams notes that STKL has risen approximately 16% in May. While STKL recently reported a solid Q1, they think much of the recent share performance can be attributed to ethanol speculation, and perhaps some short covering (STKL had 4.8 mln shares short in April). They note that STKL's steam explosion process, which can produce ethanol from biomass (corn stalks to grass clippings), is less than 1% of total revenue and does not contribute profit. The group's revenue for the latest quarter was $996,000, and operating earnings were negative $1.8 mln. Their $11 12- to 18-month price tgt places no value on the ethanol opportunity given that the process has not been proven to be economically viable, and they forecast no profit contribution in any of their estimates. However, given the ethanol interest across Wall Street, industry, government, and even Main Street, they think there is certainly some value in the steam explosion business, and the market has already begun to factor an ethanol valuation into STKL's market cap. At STKL's current share price, they estimate that investors are paying approximately $125M, or just over $2 per share, for the ethanol opportunity.

Also  talk of lifting the tariff on Sugar Ethanol may hurt these stox

Trade Notes:

-We bought this stock 3 cents from the low of day(4/27), right above support
-climbed straight up to 52 week high
-earnings release(5/2) had an intial negative reaction(after-market down 7%)
-stock reversed before open and next day was only down 3%
-setup a squeeze type move and burst to all time highs
-volume was extreme and we decided to place a tight stop
-stop hit and we take home 20%

What a battle on this one!  Any stock making an all-time high has to stay on the watchlist.  It will be interesting to see what STKL can do from this point on.  Heavy volume again today may indicate a lot of support at these upper levels.
