Stochastics indicate stock is OVERBOUGHT Growth in PROJECTED to be 300% increase in the first quarter versus last year.
WLFI: another good furniture stock.. note the incredible run of LADF (over 5 points) and the run up and huge gains in STLY. This one is another great chart with all the indicators strongly BULLISH. We're talking about triple digit growth and 3 analysts making upward revisions in the last 30 days.
ARSW: Strong chart. 73% growth projected in next 3 years. Broker recommendation upgraded from 1.5 to 1.3 in the last week. A nice "GROWTH" stock. PEG of .89 is excellent.

CVTY: turnaround quarter. 3 digit growth next 2 quarters. Excellent stock.. chart is deteriorating a bit but should turn around before Tuesday. We don't want CVTY to be in a position to make a play on Monday or Tuesday.
NSOL.. really good one.. Here's an internet company that is actually earnings. 100% increase this quarter versus last year.. This is very good play..
both CYCH: 100% increase in growth in next 3-5 year CKFR Current vs. Year Ago Change 100% 143% These are "intraday" plays in the familiar internet market.. .. Volatility is an understatement here but still expect 2-4 points gains.

******************************** Wednesday, April 29
APCO: 60% increase from last year. Nice chart, deteriorating a bit. Should be back by report date.
NSIT: Chart should reverse it's trend. 5 Strong Buys ... 45% increase this quarter.
FIX: very nice company Current vs. Year Ago Change 120% Earnings revised upward in the last 7 days and 30 days. Very nice PEG of .78. Another value stock with earnings projected to increase going forward at 30% in the next 3 years.
CGX.. a solid company. 50% increase earnings next 3 years. I've played this before. One of my favorites. 4 positive earnings suprises. Very high EPS rank . Looks poised for a move. Price movement over time has not increased as much as the volume. The RSI has set a new 14-day low, this is bearish, but I think all will improve close to earnings.
AOI: nice stock with growth going forward for the next 2 quarters in three digits. What I like about it is the acceleration. 175% growth for the quarter reporting accelerating to 250% for the quarter that is reporting July 1998..
MDMD: Stochastic overbought wait a while. 700% increase in EPS.. Already reversing down trend. Reports on Wednesday but I'd watch it tomorrow and beginning of next week.
OMTL: 3 digit growth going forward. RITTF: Current vs. Year Ago Change (April '98) 250% (July '98) 450% earnings date should be confirmed, company is in Israel.
