MPT Review is a newsletter that looks at specific factors of a stock and makes decisions based on his model. He uses quantitative analysis using primarily Alpha and Standard Deviation to select stocks with attractive Reward/Risk Ratios. He also uses fundamental analysis looking primarily at expanding profit margins, earnings growth, and projected PE ratios to weed out the best stocks.

The way I view his sells is not that a company is necessarily not worth owning, but that he is finding other stocks out there that he views to be less risky and worth switching to. He really uses zero emotion in his buys and sells and he tends to be somewhat short term in nature even though I see he has had Dell for over a year.

Just as a note on a technical level THQI broke down from it's breakout from the last cycle of around $25. This is probably the 2nd or 3rd time I've seen THQI not hold it's breakout point. This was not true of THQI in the past and breakouts where always solid buy points for longterm holders. I find the stock difficult on a technical level because the chart patterns on it have been very faulty over the last year.

Just to let you know I have sold most of my THQI having held it for over 1 1/2 years. I'm not saying I think it's going significantly down rather the stock in terms of my work has become less predictable than in the past, and for me predictability is my number one criteria in selecting a stock.
