Über ein Jahr warten bis die Pferde laufen.........

Frage nur wie lange und die entsprechenden Kursaussichten....

Ärgere mich nur, das ich letzte Woche nicht bei 6 raus und bei
4,5 neu rein......

Hätte dann meine Anzahl locker erhöhen können. Aber so bleiben sie
wenigsten schön steuerfrei......

Schönen Zmax-abend

[Catcher]

Hat jemand eine Meinung zum Kursziel der nächsten Wochen/ Monate? Wenn man sich den gestrigen Umsatz in USA ansieht, scheint bei ZMAX ja einiges los zu sein und soweit ich weiß gibt´s am 07.03. die Zahlen für das Jahr 99.

Alleine die Meldung über die Kooperation mit IBM und (BEA - Meldung vom 23.02. "www.nasdaq.com", haben ja den Kurs ganz schön getrieben;
und wer weiß was die nicht noch alles im Rohr haben.

Hi,

persönlich bin ich sehr bullish für Zmax eingestellt. Erst die Kooperation mit Bea Systems (BO Nasdaq Liebling) und jetzt mit IBM das lässt auf einiges hoffen bzw. erwarten. Ich nenne lieber kein Kursziel sonst lacht noch jemand!

es könnte aber auch noch die eine oder andere gelegenheit kommen günstig nachzukaufen. Die neuen Kooperationen werden nicht direkt ihren effekt zeigen und der gesamte y2k anteil bricht langsam weg. da momentan so viele CNBC`ler in zmax sind kann ich mir erhebliche vola in den nächsten zwei quartalen vorstellen.
aber im prinzip sind sie auf genau dem richtigen weg.
let`s wait and see

Hi zen_23,

Der Y2K Effekt ist schon lange weg, deswegen gings ja Bergab! Jetzt sind sie in der Neuausrichtung und die lässt sich gut an. Beim Zocken sollte man gewaltig aufpassen ob der Kurs nicht plötzlich davon springt. Viel Glück

Hi ludmilla,
das die y2k problematik schon lange eingepreist war ist klar -war ja bitter genug. ich vermute nur, dass viele, die nach der CNBC Erwähnung aufgesprungen sind sich nur die letzten Quartalsberichte und deren enorme Steigerungen angesehen haben. ich persönlich rechne jetzt erstmal mit stagnierenden Gewinnen oder geringen Steigerungen bis die Widepoint Transformation abgeschlossen ist. Das könnte den einen oder anderen doch wundern....
Ich kann mir auch vorstellen, dass es jetzt einige gibt die zmax shorten, da nach einem so rasanten Anstieg auch immer mit konsolidierungsphasen zu rechnen ist. Alleine das kann für erhöhte vola sorgen (in beide richtungen).
Aber im prinzip hast du schon recht - halten und sich freuen ist langfristig die beste strategie

schönes wochenende wünscht

Hi,

Stock Analysis of Zmax Corp.


Thank you for requesting an analysis of Zmax Corp. from VectorVest ProGraphics. The
ticker symbol for Zmax Corp. is ZMAX. ZMAX is traded on the NASDAQ.

PRICE: ZMAX closed on 03/03/2000 at $6.38 per share.

VALUE: ZMAX has a Value of $3.6 per share. Value is the foundation of the VectorVest
system. It is a measure of what a stock is currently worth. Value is based upon
earnings,
earnings growth rate, dividend payments, dividend growth rate, and financial
performance. Current interest and inflation rates also play an important role in the
computation of Value. When interest and/or inflation rates decrease, Value goes up.
When interest rates and inflation increase, Value goes down. Sooner or later a stock`s
Price and Value always converge.

RV (Relative Value): ZMAX has an RV of 1.28. On a scale of 0.00 to 2.00, an RV of 1.28
is very good. RV reflects the long-term price appreciation potential of the stock compared
to an alternative investment in AAA Corporate Bonds. Stocks with RV ratings above 1.00
have attractive upside potential. A stock will have an RV greater than 1.00 when its Value
is greater than Price, and its Relative Safety (see below) and forecasted earnings growth
rate are above average. In some cases, however, a stock`s RV will be above 1.00 even
though its Value is well below Price. This happens when a stock has an exemplary
record
of financial performance and an above average earnings growth rate. In this case, the
stock is currently selling at a premium, and the investor is banking on future earnings
growth to drive the stock`s price higher. This information is very useful not only in knowing
whether or not a stock has favorable price appreciation potential, but it also solves the
riddle of whether to buy high growth, high P/E, or low growth, low P/E stocks.

We believe that RV ratings above 1.00 are required to consistently achieve above
average capital gains in the stock market.

RS (Relative Safety): ZMAX has an RS rating of 0.62. On a scale of 0.00 to 2.00, an RS
of 0.62 is poor. VectorVest looks at safety from the viewpoint of an equity investor (one
who is buying stock of a company) rather than that of a purchaser of debt (one who is
lending money to the company). From this perspective, consistency of financial and
operating performance, stock price appreciation history, and price volatility are the key
factors used in the evaluation of Relative Safety (RS). Debt to equity ratio, capitalization,
sales volume, business longevity and other factors are also considered, but to a lesser
degree.

VectorVest favors steady, predictable performers. All stocks are rated on a scale of 0.00
to 2.00. A stock with an RS greater than 1.00 is safer and more predictable than the
average of all stocks. A stock with an RS less than 1.00 is less predictable and riskier
than the average stock.

RT (Relative Timing): ZMAX has an RT rating of 1.84. On a scale of 0.00 to 2.00, an RT
of 1.84 is excellent. RT is a fast, responsive, short-term price trend indicator. It analyzes
the direction, magnitude, and dynamics of a stock`s price behavior over the last 13
weeks; then reflects and projects the short-term price performance of the stock. Once a
stock`s Price has established a strong trend, it is expected to continue that trend for the
short-term. If the trend dissipates, RT will gravitate towards 1.00. Should the price
change
dramatically, RT will notice the crucial turning point. When warranted, it will explode from
a
Price low and dive from a Price high.

All stocks are rated on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. If RT is above 1.00,the stock`s Price is in
an uptrend. Below 1.00, the stock`s Price is in a downtrend.

VST-Vector (VST): ZMAX has a VST-Vector rating of 1.36. On a scale of 0.00 to 2.00, an
VST of 1.36 is excellent. VST-Vector solves the dilemma of balancing Value, Safety and
Timing. Stocks with high RV values often have low RS values, or stocks withlow RV and
RS values have high RT`s. How can we find the stocks with the best combinations of
Value, Safety, and Timing?

The classic vector formula (square root of the sum of the squares) handles this problem.
It
combines a set of forces into a single indicator for ranking every stock in the VectorVest
database. Stocks with the highest VST-Vector have the best combinations of Value,
Safety and Timing. These are the ones to own for above average capital application.

GRT (Growth Rate): ZMAX has a GRT of 57 % per year. This is excellent. GRT stands for
forecasted Earnings Growth Rate in percent per year. GRT is updated each week for
every stock. Watch GRT trends very carefully. If the GRT trend is up, the stock`s Price
will
likely rise. If the GRT trend is down, the stock`s Price will increase more slowly, cease to
increase, or subsequently fall.

Recommendation (REC): ZMAX has a Buy recommendation. REC reflects the
cumulative effect of all the VectorVest parameters working together. These parameters
are designed to help investors buy safe, undervalued stocks which are rising in price, and
to avoid or sell risky, overvalued stocks which are falling in price.

VectorVest is tuned to give an "H" or "B" signal when a stock`s price is approximately
10% above a recent low, and an "S" signal when the stock`s price is approximately 10%
below a recent high. High RV, RS stocks are favored toward receiving "B" REC`s, and
sheltered from receiving "S" RECs.

STOP-PRICE: ZMAX has a Stop-Price of 3.90 per share. This is 2.48 or 38.9% belowits
current closing Price. VectorVest analyzes over 6,000 stocks each day for Value, Safety
and Timing, and calculates a Stop-Price for each stock. These Stop-Prices are based
upon 13 week moving averages of closing prices, and are fine-tuned according to each
stock`s fundamentals.

In the VectorVest system, a stock gets a "B" or an "H" recommendation if its price is
above its Stop-Price, and an "S" recommendation if its price is below its Stop-Price.

DIV (Dividend): ZMAX does not pay a dividend. VectorVest focuses on annual, regular,
cash dividends indicated by the most recent disbursement. Special distributions,
one-time payments, stock dividends, etc., generally are not included in Dividend (DIV).

DY (Dividend Yield): ZMAX has a DY of 0 percent. This is above the current market
average of percent. DY equals 100 x (DIV/PRICE), and is expressed as a percentage.

EY (Earnings Yield): ZMAX has an EY of 1.02%. This is above the current market
average of %. EY equals 100 x (EARNINGS PER SHARE/PRICE), and is expressed as
a percentage.

EPS (Earnings Per Share): ZMAX has an EPS of $0.07 per share. EPS stands for
leading 12 months Earnings Per Share. VectorVest determines this forecast from a
combination of recent earnings performance and traditional fiscal and/or calendar year
earnings forecasts.

P/E (Price to Earnings Ratio): ZMAX has a P/E ratio of 91.07. This ratio is computed
daily based upon Price and EPS. P/E = Price/EPS.

GPE (Growth to P/E Ratio): ZMAX has a GPE of 0.58. This ratio suggests that This ratio
suggests that ZMAXis overvalued. Growth to P/E ratio is a popular measure of stock
valuation which compares Earnings Growth Rate (GRT) to Price Earnings ratio (P/E). A
stock is considered to be undervalued when GPE is greater than 1.00, and vice-versa.
VectorVest believes that RV is a much better indicator of long-term value. The RV of 1.28
for ZMAXis very good.

DS (Dividend Safety): ZMAX has a DS of 0. On a scale of 0 to 99, a DS of 0 is poor. DS
is defined as the assurance that regular cash dividends will be declared and paid at
current or at higher rates for the foreseeable future. Stocks with DS values above 50 on a
scale of 0 to 99 areabove average in safety.

RISK (Dividend Risk): ZMAX does not pay a dividend. All stocks in the VectorVest
system that pay dividends are classified as having Low, Medium or High Dividend Risk
(RISK). Stocks with DS values above 50 are above average in safety. These stocks are
classified as having LOW or MEDIUM RISK. Stocks with DS values below 50 are below
average in safety and are classified as having HIGH Risk.

DG (Dividend Growth): ZMAX has a DG of 0 percent per year. Dividend Growth is a
subtle yet important indicator of a company`s historical financial performance and the
board`s current outlook on the future use of funds.

YSG-VECTOR (Yield-Safety-Growth Vector): ZMAX has a YSG-Vector of 0. On a scale
of 0.00 to 2.00, an YSG-Vector rating of 0 is very poor. VectorVest combines Dividend
YIELD, SAFETY and GROWTH into a single parameter. YSG-Vector allows direct
comparison of all dividend paying stocks. Stocks with the highest YSG-Vector values
have the best combinations of Dividend Yield, Safety and Growth. These are the stocks
to buy for above average current income and long-term growth.

VOL(100)s: ZMAX traded 633000 shares on 03/03/2000.

AVG VOL(100)s: ZMAX has an Average Volume of 443700. Average Volume is 50 day
moving average of daily volume as computed by VectorVest.

% VOL: ZMAX had a Volume change of 42.7% from its 50 day moving average volume.

OPEN: ZMAX opened trading at $6.75 per share on 03/03/2000.

HIGH: ZMAX traded at a high of $6.88 per share on 03/03/2000.

LOW: ZMAX traded at a low of $6.00 per share on 03/03/2000.

CLOSE: ZMAX Closed trading at $6.38 per share on 03/03/2000.

% PRC: ZMAX showed a Price change of -6.4% from the prior day`s closing price.

INDUSTRY: ZMAXhas been assigned to the Computer (Services) Group. VectorVest
classifies stocks into over 190 Industry Groups and 50 Business Sectors.

ZMAX has well below average safety with well above average upside potential. It reflects
a stock which is likely to give well above average, inconsistent returns over the long term.


The basic strategy of VectorVest is to buy low risk, high reward stocks. We suggest that
Prudent investors buy enough high Relative Value, high Relative Safety stocks to keep
the overall RV and RS ratings of their portfolios above 1.00. As you do this, you`ll find that
your risk will go down and your investment performance will improve. Not a bad
combination.

Thank you for your interest in VectorVest ProGraphics.
