EXPD earnings play upgraded to strong buy.Expeditors Announces Net Earnings Increase of 40% - RETAILERS on the other hand, thumbs down.. I would hold sparingly. Still like the one on today's WL, S, probably ANN and that's it. The sector is not as strong as the energy sector for diversifying and I don't expect more than a little spurt or pop at any 'beating the street'. I did miss a stock called PCP yesterday Precision Cast Parts.. which was an alternate play by underestimating it. PCP might not be glamourous but the stock and chart are doing great. This and EXPD are the kind of stock I'm looking for for holding longer than your garden variety day or swing trade. I'm looking for longer term holds lately and finding very few in the technology sector. The technology sector is great for the day and swing trade but I wouldn't hold long here. A very few new stocks coming out with their first positive quarter or that still have triple digit growth are attractive. I try a shot at a large cap and get my 10% to 15% and usually I'm out. Its actually the biotech sector that has been the best this week simply because the rallies have been fabulous. I stick with my favorite, don't hold through earnings and can buy bigger blocks. The QCOM's, QLGC's, TERN, ITWO's and that group are nice daytrades. For holding I still like my 2 dozen technology stocks that I seem to trade over and over again. I'm very, very circumspect of holding junk. The retail sector IMHO is dull and vastly unimpressive.
