As most of you are aware, before picking a stock to mess with, one should check out the fundies (fundamentals) and the TA (Technical analysis). One could read the company annual report , but quite frankly that is boring, and I cannot understand the mumbo and the jumbo. It’s a good thing to read if you can’t sleep at night. Using a KISS (Keep it simple s) type approach is better. A simple approach is to use the IBD (Investor’s Business Daily newspaper ). I put that in ( ) just in case there is a new kid on the block who never heard of it, like we all were at one time. The IBD has tables that rates the stocks. On a scale of one to 99 the EPS (earnings per share) is rated. A company could have earnings of .04 cents a share this QTR as compared to last QTR of .03 cents a share. That’s complicated, if IBD says the EPS is 90 or above that’s super. The most important rating in my opinion is the RS (Relative Strength) which is also rated on a scale of 1 to 99. This rating must be used along with the ACC/DIS rating. That’s the Accumulation/Distribution rating which is rated by letters A thru E. 99A means the stock has a very hi RS and the A means there is heavy buying. B means buying but a little less than A. C is neutral with buy and selling equal . D means there is more selling than buying and E is real bad because there is heavy selling. Yes, I know I have bored all you CANSLIM folks, but lets give a new kid on the block a break. He/she may wise up and go buy an IBD. The contest stocks have been listed with their EPS and RS ratings per Friday’s IBD. John O’Reilly is long SINA which has a poor EPS of 34 but strong RS of 99A+. This rocket stock may start to burn out unless that RS is an elephant buying. An elephant is the slang term for money fund manager, a big money pro, or a guy by the name of Soros. It has been written that they can run but they cannot hide. When an elephant moves in the Wall St jungle he will make noise. That noise is a big green volume spike or may be a high RS rating in the IBD. Sparky: CFW 80 99A Super Rating. SEBL 5 19B Poor Rating SEBL pulls down her average. Bruce: MSN 98 99A Best rating of any stock in the contest. Should go higher. FWTH 80 98D RS at this point in time, there is more selling than buying. If that changes look out for Bruce. Now you can look at your own stocks .
