I have been speculating ATG stock for a while. I know on a technical level what service this company provides. They specialize in large scale e-commerce web site software suites. They have big name clients, Target, BestBuy, Mercedes-Bens as examples, along with many others. The EPS for this company is 0. What does that mean?
I like what this company is doing and because they are a large legit company at such a low price I thought it was worth looking into. This company has been hovering around the single dollar amounts for a while and has been on the rise lately. Anyone think it’s a good buy?

ARTG earning per share last quarter were -.02 cents. The firm lost money from the looks of it; ARTG has been losing money for the last 4 years. Trailing 12 months the EPS is at 0 so they just broke even primarily thanks to the DEC 2006 quarter. The stock has good momentum behind it in the last 12 months. It is however very expensive, trading at 60 times earnings. Cash flow for the last 4 quarter is increasing and positive but the down side is that they have issued a lot of shares compared to last year. Fundamentally I don’t like the stock so if you are going to invest into it you should get out of it when the momentum breaks down and it no longer looks attractive. I wouldn’t buy it.

I’m looking for a 2 year investment. I have other investments for the long term. I am investing for a home purchase in a couple years. You would probably suggest an index fund into an IRA. Is there anything else for a short term investment?

Normally you would need to think about how much return you are expecting and how much risk you are will to take to generate such a return. Considering the fact that you need this money to purchase a home, I will assume you want a safe investment and with minimal risk. If you have a good sum of money that you want to invest, I would suggest purchasing a bond. A municipal bond would be tax free; getting a t-bill may not be a bad idea either.
