Small-Cap Winners & Losers: DTS, Advanced Battery
Small-cap stocks followed the major indices through an uneven trading day Monday, bouncing in and out of positive territory. DTS (DTSI - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr), an Agoura Hills, Calif., entertainment technology provider, saw shares leap 12.5% to $27.40 after announcing a new sound technology to be unveiled this week at the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The company will also partner with XStreamHD and Seagate (STX - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) to provide technology for transmitting high-definition movies and music directly to the home, and Deutsche Securities added more good news by initiating coverage of DTS with a hold rating. Advanced Battery Technologies (GBT - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) rose on an announced partnership. The New York-based maker of batteries for Southeast Asian markets signed a $23 million contract with Wuxi Angell Autocycle to make batteries for Wuxi's electric bicycles and motorcycles.
DOD Takes Bids for Spyware Contract
"People are bringing in things from home, installing freeware. It's a big problem," said Eric Sites of Sunbelt Software Inc., one of the companies that are bidding on the contract. "If you look at the problems in the corporate environment with spyware and vulnerabilities, the same things are there in everything that the federal government or the DOD is doing, with the added component of top secret networks," said Tom Simmons, director of federal programs at Trend Micro, which is bidding for the SDEP work. Symantec and McAfee both declined to comment on the SDEP solicitation. DISA's original specifications for anti-virus protection, which are now 3 years old, failed to anticipate the spyware problem or the need for anti-spyware features, Simmons said. "If you look at what was available in anti-virus in 2002, spyware was the purview of very few people who were very forward looking in terms of vulnerabilities and threats," he said.
ABC Inc.
In one e-mail, sent during a presidential debate on Sept. 30, 2004, Green wrote, "Are you watching this? Bush makes me sick. If he uses the 'mixed messages' line one more time, I'm going to puke." That message appeared on the Drudge Report on March 23. Green e-mailed his staff the day it was posted to apologize. In his mea culpa, which was also posted on Drudge, Green wrote "I want all of you to know how much I regret the embarrassment this story causes ABC. It was an inappropriate thing to say and I'm deeply sorry." On March 30, The New York Post's "Page Six" quoted from another Green e-mail, this one about former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. In that note, for which no date was given, Green argued that Albright should not be booked on GMA because she has "Jew shame," the Post reported.
