"Da Picks from Da scans!" 0404

Ok here they are, with a few comments: (ob = overbought, os = oversold, BB = Bollinger Bands, mom = momentum)

Stop limits are: 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:

AXE: buy at 19, strong, +mom

ADCT: watch buy @ 24 +RSI, +mom, jut entering os

UICI: still looks good buy at 34

EAT: base @ 6??? strong chart

AD: buy at 27 1/2 +mom, +macd, + wilder RSI, stock in ob area but strong minimal risk

XETA: buy @23; +mom, + wilder RSI, is on ob, but good sector

CHB buy on dip 27 3/4 strong stock

Value plays:

TDW : just left ox, bounced of 50dma

NBR: has bottomed in os; + mom

KEG: upturn from os, sharp pop on 9dma, just dipped belos 25, 50mda

*NAUT: in os, ready to bounce of 25/50mda

TBI: +mom, starting to ride upper bb, stock appears to want to stay above 20

RDC: +mom, stoch upturn wanting to trend upper BB

ADCT: watch; +mom, entering os, look for 24

BJS: in os; +wilder RSI

PDE: + wilder RSI, trending upper BB, is in os area, but sector is strong.

*NOTE: 7 of the 20 stocks in this scan are in the OIL sector, this cannot be ignored. Neary all are postitioned for long term gains. (see note from last weeks post, these stocks are moving nicely for trading)

UNDERVALUED: These are stock with good movement to the upside. Usually strong companies

*WIX: buy at 5 5/8 mom is going positive, + RSI

*VOX: buy at 6 9/16

ECILF: watch buy @ 29 1/4 good sector

*GDC: buy @ 5 1/8 sector, just entering os, + mom

CRO.B: buy at 19 ( good resisitance at 19) +mom, 19 is the levelof the 9,25,50dma and its below lsq.

TA breakouts; this scan doesnt produce many stocks...very narrow..but they do very well..

*TRBS: tightening BB, in oversold, based buy at 33, below lsq, regonial bank possible takeover?

POSTIVE BREAKOUTS: Modeled using Telscan searches combined with the Vector Vest" theories: vectorvest.com

*CAND: os stock wants to move buy @ 7 3/4

*BVSN:

CMIC: buy at 21 5/8 sector play

BVF: watch buy at 43 1/2 os, may revocver very very quickly

*FFGI: + mom, + wilder, while in slight os area its trend along upper BB

PCTY: + mom; + wilder RSI, trending upper BB

CENT: buy @37 3/8, just enetering os, strong trend ready to counce off of 25dma

PRGS: buy @29 1/2 strong sector, base @ 30 range trending upper BB nicely

_______________________________

Common sectors of the list to be noted: OWD, TES and DSO. These three sectors comprise about 1/3 of the scans this week;

Shorts:

*PMRY: losing mom, starting to trend lower BB, in OB area

*LVSI: - wilder RSI, ob, stong stock for a short term squeeze play..then long

FINL: squeeze play

CHML: short @39 3/4 has had a great run, however in ob, -mom, - wilder RSI, and just broke 9dma

FBN: short @33 ob; mom flattening

HDI: short @ 32 1/2 ready for profit taking

RSC: very good run up, profit taking, watch closely

VAL: short @43

Again set the appropriate stop limits.

* denotes the personal selections of me. All stocks should be considered.

Remember: The types of scans will determine the time frame for one to wait for them to "pay off". ie, the undervalue and value scans will produce stocks that over a long term will do quite nicely. TA & Value are stocks that should do well in the mid term. Postive Breakouts and the TAT scans are those for short term positions. Thus stop limits may be set to personal preference when considering the "type" of holding, ie perhaps 2 pts on undervalue and value stocks, etc.

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.
