  Get and read their prospectus first. Then review AT LEAST the past 2 or 3 years worth of annual reports and compare prior year projections to how they did in future years. Are they doing what they say they will do in future years? How well have they weathered the recession? Is management conservative or risky? Are there any pending law suits that could affect their share price (up or down)?

  Educate yourself before you invest. NEVER take a “hot tip” in a public forum. EVER. As often as not it’s a pump and dump scam and if you get caught up in it you’re likely to either lose your shirt or find yourself on the scary end of an SEC investigation, depending upon how you time your buys and sells.

  they are not the only company in the market, so it is an OK stock but not good. You need to look more careful into their earnings.

  This isn’t a good stock to buy. There was a 30% price drop recently and a second small gap down. Technically, the stock is in a non-trending zone and it’s a recent IPO which can sometimes have more risk associated with them.

  There are many stocks that will perform better or are just beginning to trend that would serve you much better.

  Abraham, Fruchter & Twersky, LLP commenced a class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of a class (the “Class”) of investors who purchased Smart Technologies Inc. (“SMT” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:SMT) common stock pursuant to and/or traceable to the Company’s July 15, 2010 Initial Public Offering.

  The Complaint alleges SMT and certain of its officers and directors with violating the federal securities laws by making inaccurate and misleading statements in the Company’s Registration Statement and Prospectus by failing to disclose that: (1) there was slower development at their Many people don’t agree with your optimistic assessment. This is from businesswire.com:

  “NextWave acquisition due to a lack of new touch screen applications for Windows 7, and (2) revenues were declining in the second quarter of 2010 as a result. The Complaint alleges that Defendants’ inaccurate and misleading statements caused SMART Technologies common stock to trade at artificially high price levels.

  On November 9, 2010, after the market closed, SMT announced weaker-than-expected revenue for the 2010 second quarter. In a reaction to this news and a subsequent analyst downgrade, shares of SMT fell from $13.07 per share to $8.91 per share on the following day, a drop of more than 31% on extremely heavy trading volume.”

  I would rate this as a very speculative stock. It appears their product development is not as far along as they promised. The business world if full of companies with ideas, but ideas must be successfully implemented for anyone to make money. I would say the odds are: 40% lose it all, 50% muddle along and never reach their potential, and 10% make big money.
