I think it’s time you take a look at PeakStocks.com portfolio recommendation AuthenTec (Nasdaq: AUTH), the world’s leading provider of fingerprint sensors and solutions to the wireless, PC and Access Control markets.

AuthenTec has continued to execute their business strategy, has introduced several new products to the market, and is is looking very reasonably priced at these levels.

All of this adds up to a tantalizing stock that should be added to your portfolio on any additional weakness, and as a result of the current market turmoil.

Here’s why:

It looks like there will be one less distraction for management at SoundBite Communications (NASDAQ: SDBT), a leading provider of on-demand customer contact solutions that include Automated Voice Messaging, Text Messaging, and other customer contact solutions.

After the market closed on June 25th, 2008, SoundBite announced that they reached a settlement agreement with Universal Recovery Systems, Inc. (URS), the owner of the Universal Systems Right Party Contact Solution, a patented approach to maximizing right party contacts.

While a rising tide lifts all boats, the opposite also holds true.

Such has been the case with PeakStocks.com portfolio recommendation AAR Corp. (NYSE: AIR), which provides products and services to the aviation, aerospace, and defense industries.

Lately the words “aviation”, “aerospace” and “defense” have been about as popular as uttering the phrase “oil prices are higher”.

You can’t always escape the boom or the hammer that befalls a certain industry or sector, even if it appears that AAR is more protected from these concerns than other companies within its industry.

As a result of this and AAR’s upcoming earnings release in about 2 weeks, I am downgrading AAR’s shares to a HOLD if only temporarily, and for new money, until we get more clarification as to what’s going on with the industry, the companies that depend on AAR for business, and AAR’s business prospects for their 2009 fiscal year.

The recent market turmoil has given us a wonderful opportunity to nab stocks on the cheap.

Today I wanted to give you a heads up on some of the stocks that I was watching for possible inclusion into the PeakStocks.com portfolio, specifically ones that are high on my list, and most likely to be added as formal recommendations in the weeks to come as they reach desirable price points, and present wonderful opportunities for long term investors.

Note that these aren’t yet formal recommendations, I have more due diligence that I have to perform on them, but they are compelling enough with the research that I have done to be at the absolute top of my list.

It’s time to go Hollywood!

uWink (Nasdaq: UWKI.OB), an entertainment and hospitality software development company and the operator of an interactive restaurant concept called uWink, has made it official and has sent notice that they are opening their latest location at Hollywood and Highland June 27th, 2008.

(Update: It turns out that this location is actually opening on Tuesday June 17th but having their actual “Grand Opening” weekend June 27th-29th.)

Well, let’s call it a “soft” opening, as the invite that I got requested RSVP confirmation and was explicit that the event was “invite only”.

But heck, we can still celebrate the occasion right?

Here’s a copy of the invite:

Bottom Line: This is great news, and I wish I was in the area to go to the opening. I’ll be here for the Mountain View, CA location opening, but it’s good to see uWink executing their strategy and getting these locations opened with minimal delays.

Nolan Bushnell Predicts 600 TRILLION Games Served!

Ok, so now that the trivial stuff is out the way, I know you are craving for the headline that uWink thinks it can serve over 600 TRILLION games through its uWink franchise and the games it provides.

It’s time to put some more capital to work today.

I am initiating a second (2) BUY recommendation of GeoEye, Inc. (Nasdaq: GEOY), a provider of space-based and aerial imagery and geospatial information.

I’m pounding the table hard for this one, and I could easily see GeoEye’s shares doubling in value from this point forward in 6-8 months!

I’m not even kidding at all.

Here’s why.

We have a couple of interesting developments with PeakStocks.com portfolio recommendation GeoEye, Inc. (Nasdaq: GEOY), a provider of space-based and aerial imagery and geospatial information.

The first bit of news is that GeoEye just nabbed a new contract with the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency or NGA, to supply geospatial products and related service above and beyond their current backlog and orders pertaining to the GeoEye-1 launch.

GeoEye also reiterated their launch plans for GeoEye-1

The second bit of news comes as a bit of a surprise to many investors: GeoEye’s imagery can now be found on Google maps.
