The following results are from my picks of 3/23. Using the following criteria of a 1 pt stop limit on the downside (or upside - if it was short) to minimize losses. Also the term "flat" indicates that the value is within 1/2 pt from the purchase price. The +/- indicates if its above or below the purchase. In additon when a stock reached a 1 pt. gain, the stop limit was set at that value thus locking in that 1 pt profit. Thus, a number of the picks are greater than a 1 pt. profit in several cases, as I would take the "pop" after that, adjust up (or down if short) the stop limit.

Da Picks from da scans! Ok here they are, with a few comments: (ob = overbought, os = oversold, BB = Bollinger Bands, mom = momentum) Also, stop limits are changing: Stocks $5-$20 range I am using -3/4 as a stop limit. Stocks $20+ range -1 pt stop limit. Combination of TA and value plays: CEFT; ready to break out of os OMI: (WATCH) buy @ 17 1/2 UICI: strong chart, just entered ob, but has room to go. OH; just left os, strong stock..good sector Value plays: this week 1/2 of the list is OIL related! Most of these have gone into overbought territory due to last weeks. All the picks form last week were great shorts for the first 2 days of the week. The stocks quickly rebounded and some are again candidates for shorting (see bottom of post for shorts). However, even these short candidates have good long term potential. This weeks plays are: TDW; contrary to the other oil stocks, this one just entered os, +mom, and + wilder. ADCT; + wilder, + mom UNDERVALUED: These are stock with good movement to the upside. Usually strong companies FAST: moving into ob territory but a very strong stock NAUT ORCL SSAX; bounce off 25mda, just entering os buy at 7 1/2 VOX; nice bounce as it left ob area, wants to get to 8 + wilder, + mom NUE; in os, all signs are positive GNT: play this for pop, just left os ASDCT: +mom, wants to go back into ob territory..driving price higher GNZ: just entered os, strong CHIR; entered os, + wilder, + mom IRIC; moving to os, + mom, + wilder, trending along upper BB QMED: basing @ 8.00 range, + mom, + wilder TA breakouts; this scan doesnt produce many stocks...very narrow..but they do very well.. FMY YFCB WLF FG POSTIVE BREAKOUTS: Modeled using Telscan searches combined with the Vector Vest" theories: vectorvest.com SOSS; + mom BVF; + mom, + wilder, stochastics upturn Note: nearly all of the stocks in the positive breakout list are in overbought territory. These may be looked at as potential shorts...however, these stocks are very strong..thus limit orders are a must. Overall, mid term holds on the list. Stocks common; these are stocks that have shown up on more than one scan; These do well long term. NAUT CEFT FAST ORCL Shorts: ESV NBR KEG SII EVI TBI CDG Again set the appropriate stop limits. * denotes the personal selections of me. All stocks should be considered.
