2 articles in IBD today..Trading Harder on Great Expectations.. reprinted in part below and Investor's Business Daily feature on the Companies in the News Section has a 1/2 page feature on our earnings play (calendar entry) #7 from March 18. ____________________________________ Earnings are the best long term driver of stock prices. Stocks of many companies with strong earnings have been stellar performers during the 5 month bull market... Some of the best winners with strong earnings are well-known. They include internet leader YHOO telecom firm MCI Worldcom and popular electronics retailer Best Buy. [ed. comment all earnings plays] ...lesser known names such as RF Micro Devices and Clarify also are performing well. ..To invest successfully, two things are imperative: good stock selection and proper timing for the buy and sell. Insisting on stocks with strong earnings quickly narrows your choices among more than 9,000 publicly traded companies. IBD scanned its database to find profitable firms that are expected to show significant annual earnings gains [ed. comment I've done this for 2 1/2 years].. RF Micro Devices was near the top the list. (yes, I know that already).. Others on the IBD list are JCOR (remember that one, we had it), DOX (yes on last weeks's watch list) Here is a partial reprint of the list that Investor's Business Daily called: Stocks over $20 with biggest projected profit increases RFMD,CREE,YHOO, WCOM,JCOR,WCOM,DOX,BBY,INSS, CLFY,SDLI, CREE, VISX, NSOL, PRGN, KSWS, NITE CPWR, CACS and AMCC..
