Thanks, Richard. I have just started to expand my database, so I am going to take the next few weeks to evaluate as many companies as possible. I will be tossing many out on this forum, if they appear to have potential. I will certainly take a look at those stocks others put forth! Do you have a sector or sectors that you watch more carefully than others. Right now, my lists are in Communications, Semis, Oil, Internet, Solar, Ag/Chemical and Bios. That is a lot of ground to cover, to say the least. I would be grateful to anyone who wants to grab a few sectors in other areas to share their thoughts and data. For the most part, I don't tend to look at companies that are below $100 Million in market cap. There are a number of exceptions as this isn't a firm line in the sand.....

US pending home sales jump to nearly a 6-year highSales contracts to buy US homes jump in October to nearly a 6-year high WASHINGTON (AP) -- An index measuring the number of Americans who signed contracts to buy homes in October jumped to nearly its highest level in almost six years. Steady job gains and record-low mortgage rates have made home buying more attractive. The National Association of Realtors says its seasonally adjusted pending home sales index rose 5.2 percent to 104.8 in October. Excluding a few months when the index spiked because of a homebuyer tax credit, that is the highest level since March 2007. Contract signings typically indicate where the housing market is headed. There's generally a one- to two-month lag between a signed contract and a completed sale. finance.yahoo.com

RE: SKY still looking for a turnaround still in the red. However I saw this trend in Patrick industries which might have positive repercussions. With SKY it's their Manufactured housing sector that is showing improvement by numbers. Their RV business is still looking very bad. Ironically GLW reported today and the street was disappointed. RE:Possible repercussions from Apples interest in Sapphire glass. The CEO is not worried and neither am I. GLW might offer a good opportunity for myself to get in. There's no rush however. Sorry I have no idea why my type is going bold. I so no bold in raw text to fix it. ELKHART, Ind., Oct. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Patrick Industries, Inc. (PATK), a major manufacturer and distributor of building and component products for the recreational vehicle ("RV"), manufactured housing ("MH") and industrial markets, today reported its financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 29, 2013.

The Company estimates that RV industry wholesale unit shipments increased approximately 10% in the third quarter of 2013 compared to the prior year.
