Previous Steady Gaining Stocks
I have been posting and updating a list of stocks
that had been previously posted as having made steady gains
over the past twelve 25 day trading periods, in response to
a request for such a list. I have been asked me to keep
track of these periodically.
Here is the latest update.

Notes: This list was begun in late June. I used criteria which would
have required a stock to have performed well through the October, 1997
correction, the theory being that a stock that held through that period
and continued to make gains would be resilient through a subsequent
correction. Well, while I can't say much about resiliency, at least
some of these made decent rebounds last week.
Since I believe that these tickers have a good chance of
a rebound when (and if) the market stabilizes, I will only
be dropping stocks from this list (SFSK) which have fallen
below the 200 dma. I will continue to drop from this list
as support is broken. I would also note, however, that I
dropped SKYW from last week's list, it dropped like a rock,
and then I took a position in SKYW on Friday because it looked
like it had been overbeaten, and I look for it to make back
at least a few more points. So, just because I drop a ticker
like SFSK from this study list, I will continue to watch it.
The companies that made it on to this list in my view are
good companies which all make for good trading opportunities.
