Top 5 High Tech Stocks To Watch Right Now

Priceline.com (NASDAQ: PCLN  ) clarified the details this morning on its massive $1 billion bond issue.

According to the company, the billion dollars worth of convertible notes will:

Pay their owners 0.35% interest, paid semiannually. Be convertible into common stock or back into cash at approximately a conversion rate of approximately $1,315.10. Become convertible at Priceline's discretion -- not the bonds' holders.

Priceline expects to raise close to $979 million from the bond offering after covering fees and expenses. This number could rise, however, as Priceline is giving its underwriters an overallotment option to buy as much as $150 million bonds over the initial $1 billion floatation.

The company also reiterated its intentions for how to use the cash -- by buying up $1 billion worth of its own common stock at today's prices, which offer about a 38% discount to where the bonds might ultimately revert back into stock.

Priceline shares finished the day up 1.9% at $807.54.

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By John Udovich]

  Small cap machine-to-machine (M2M) stock Elecsys Corp (NASDAQ: ESYS) jumped 8.99% yesterday and is up 254% over the past year, meaning it might be time to take a closer look at the stock and its performance verses other small cap M2M stocks like Digi International Inc (NASDAQ: DGII), Numerex Corp (NASDAQ: NMRX) and Sierra Wireless, Inc (NASDAQ: SWIR). First of all though, I should mention that machine-to-machine (M2M) broadly refers to technologies that allow both wireless and wired systems to communicate with other devices of the same type and this can be through any type of technology ranging from instruments to networks to applications that create connections between devices.

  Margins matter. The more Numerex (Nasdaq: NMRX  ) keeps of each buck it earns in revenue, the more money it has to invest in growth, fund new strategic plans, or (gasp!) distribute to shareholders. Healthy margins often separate pretenders from the best stocks in the market. That's why we check up on margins at least once a quarter in this series. I'm looking for the absolute numbers, so I can compare them to current and potential competitors, and any trend that may tell me how strong Numerex's competitive position could be.
