- So what are you waiting for? Israeli stocks in the US market are
- almost all high-tech, solid companies. Below is a posting I made on
- soc.culture.jewish - lets see how I have done with my predictions
- (from Oct 27th 1992):
-
- >>Date: Mon, 12 Oct 1992 21:46:58 IST
- >>
- >>-ECI Telecom: They make equipment for packing more phone calls over
- >>copper lines. Germany has been buying lots of their equipment to
- >>upgrade East German infrastructure.
- >
- >ECI went up 6.5% yesterday to 30.75
-
- Finished at 36.25. Up 17% in 2 months.
-
- >
- >>
- >>- IIS: terminal makers. Owns Harris- Lee Data in USA.
- >
- >IIS went up 3.8% yesterday to 33.75
-
- Finished at 50.75. Up 50% in 2 months.
-
- >
- >>
- >>- Lannet: they make the Multinet hub which is competition to
- >>Cabletron, Synoptics and Chipcom. I didn't expect them to do well
- >>when they floated their shares a year ago at 12. They hit 32 this
- >>year and have cooled down to 23. Not bad for a new company.
- >
- >Lannet was yesterday at 27.25 - an 18% increase in 2 weeks.
-
- Finished at 25.12. Down 8% in 2 months.
-
- >
- >>
- >>- Teldata: is another new one. They make equipment to maximize use
- >>of copper phone lines like putting 4 phone circuits on a single twisted
- >>pair. The owner of Lannet (Zisapple of Bynat Group) bought into
- >>Teldata a week before they floated their shares. Teldata hasn't
- >>moved much - 5% this year but has potential for the next 12 months.
- >
- >Teldata went up yesterday 3.7% to 14.12. They were around 11 two
- >weeks ago - up 28%
-
- Finished at 15.75. Up 11% in 2 months.
-
- >
- >>
- >>- Magic: PC and Vax software. Program generation software. Their
- >>software has won many speed awards in international competition
- >>(design time for 2-3 programmers). Very popular in Europe and Far
- >>East - the parent company - Mashoov on Israeli stock market created
- >>Magic Software on NYSE and opened at 8.5 last year and is now up to
- >>10. Has good potential for this year also.
- >
- >Yesterday Magic hit 11.50 - 15% in 2 weeks.
-
- Finished at 15. Up 30% in 2 months.
-
- >
- >>
- >>- Opratech: They make printed circuit boards or design of equipment
- >>that makes printed circuit boards. Their only major competitor is
- >>Orbot - also an Isareli company and they are in the process of a
- >>merger. There are rumors that the SCC will not allow the merger to
- >>go through due to monopoly of trade laws but I have sources that
- >>tell me that this will be a non issue and that the merger is taking
- >>place.
-
- No data. I missed it.
-
- >>
- >>- Sapiens: is also a new company. They make mainframe database
- >>software in Rehovot (Kiryat Weizmann). That is why IBM had to
- >>settle for a name like DB/2. Sapiens had the trademark for DB/1
- >>before them! Their software is considered technologically a leader
- >>in the industry. One of the few Israeli stocks to be down this year
- >>(6%) but at 10.5 - which is close to their IPO price of 9, they are
- >>a good investment for the future.
- >>
- >>Hope this helps a bit.
-
- Finished at 26. Up 147% (IBM signed an agreement withn Sapiens to market
- their database software!!!)

- >>Hank Nussbacher
- >>Karnei Shomron
- >>Israel
- >
- >My forecast shows Israeli stocks on the whole going up another 25%
- >till the end of the year to finish with a healthy 50% overall increase.
- >If you want to make oodles of money and support Israel at the same
- >time, now is the time to buy some Israeli stock.
-
- For those that followed my investment advise and have opened an Israeli
- stock portfolio, you have all made lots of money. I wish you all well
- and that you continue to make lots of money. My prediction for 1993
- is that Israeli stocks (on the US exchanges) rise 35% for the year
- on average.
