"Mining the New America To Find Gems" I've mentioned before that two of our stock picks from this week's newsletter: REXI and SRCL were on the New America Page of Investor's Business daily. This Monday's paper had the third one: SERO from our list. In an excellent article entitled: *"Mining the New America To Find Gems"* [ed. Nice word] Money managers explained how they use The New America Page to find Gems. One explained about ...screening thousands of young companies to focus on the few with strong fundmentals and stock action. He uses a combination of fundamental and technical analysis on the stocks that most interest him. A strong EPS rank is high on his list, as well as solid revenue growth that looks sustainable. From there, he'll look at a chart of the company to see if it's under accumulation or distribution and to make sure the tock is trading above its 50-day and 200-day moving average lines. That would imply a high relaitve strength numer.. ... another money manager adds that he does further research on his stock ideas to see if earnings and revenue growth are at least 20% and to see if the stock is in a basing pattern. Whatever they use reinforces the fact that Market Gems is doing this right. I hold the Investor's Business Daily in very high esteem. It is a model worth emulating. It bodes well to see many times stocks I've had on my watch lists appear there. REXI, SRCL and SERO were on the Market Gems newsletter a full week before they appeared on the New America Page of IBD. I have nothing against money managers. But I can read both Investor's Business Daily and Market Gems Newsletter for a lot cheaper than they charge to 'manage' my money. The thousands I payed each year for my last money manager I could have put to better use in my trading portfolio. *excerpts of the article above are reprinted from The Investor's Business Daily jenna www.marketgems.com

I am talking on average. Date Symbol L/S Entry Exit Shares Profit Total % Delta 3-Aug RG L 8.375 8.25 3000 -375 25125 -1.49% 3-Aug CSCO L 98 98.5 300 150 29400 0.51% 3-Aug CBS S 34.125 31.75 600 1425 20475 6.96% 5-Aug BVSN L 21.75 23.5 1000 1750 21750 8.05% 5-Aug AMAT L 33.75 35.75 600 1200 20250 5.93% 5-Aug XCIT L 38 40 600 1200 22800 5.26% 5-Aug ADBE L 30.5 31.25 1000 750 30500 2.46% 6-Aug KTEL L 7.875 12.125 5000 21250 39375 53.97% 6-Aug XCIT L 41 46 600 3000 24600 12.20% 7-Aug VTSS L 35.125 36.125 300 300 10575 2.84% So for the week that is about 40% on $75k And that doesn't count the large block of CPQ I bought at 24 in March. Jeff made a valid point - ASND was up 100% since Jan, and looking at some of the others, MSPG is up to 45 from 15 in Jan, AOL,PSIX XCIT and AAPL have all doubled since then. We need a perspective that holds we for theg rowth and trades for the profit. Don't set a % goal - set a trading strategy that makes sense. lastshadow
