Penny Stock Pick - FCSE

Digital Media The penny stock on the spotlight today is FOCUS Enhancements Inc. (FCSE), the Campbell, CA based video technology solutions provider in digital media video system and semiconductor areas. The stock has been doing well since April, up from about 70 cents per share to as much as $1.39 in early May, up almost 100% in a month. To see why this digital media company has been doing well recently let's take a detail analysis at it and see if it is still worth buying.

Technical
The technical chart shows the stock has just entered the bull market as the 50 day moving average has crossed on top over 200 day moving average in early May to form Golden Cross, a very bullish signal. Another bull market signal is MACD where MACD and signal line are both above 0. Moreover ROC is showing buying opportunity as it is at oversold signal. However MACD and KD show weak signal as MACD is below signal line and K line is still below D line. Therefore a better time to buy would be to wait for K line to rise back up again above D line.

Insider
The top executives have been somewhat bullish about the company as CFO, General Manager, Director, Vice President, CEO acquired shares from 20,000 to 80,000 since the beginning of this year. Although there were two insider sells in March, each transaction was only about 2,000 shares and didn't have much effect. In addition the institutions have purchased about 1.5 million shares in the latest quarter.

Financial
The income statement shows promising sign as the revenue has increased for $4.5 million from 2004 to 2005. Although the net loss has increased about $4.4 million as well, it was due to increasing R&D cost - another good sign. However one negative is that since the cash level is still low the company is still in need to raise cash either by financing or selling more stocks.
