Newport Watch List – Observations on Trading Activity. Criteria: Three or more trades must have buys and sells both. Buy & Sell Resistance set at 10%. Minimum Number of Shares to Trade set at 10% of original share quantity upon entry. Generally the Buy & Sell prices are the closing prices for that weeks Friday. Note: I have not adjusted Portfolio Control on any of these. Normal adjustments occur do to Buys and Vealie's. None have had Negative cash reserve. Drove CHRZ, EGGS negative, or they would have qualified. None have split.

As you can note only 8 made the cut based upon my opening criteria. Probably an equal amount have 3 or more sells or buys, but not a combination of the two. Two I drove negative on the cash reserve so they were eliminated. Remember that this is a Watch List, there is no guarantee that the trades would have happened as recorded. I do not own any of these stocks nor am I promoting them. I'm in no way suggesting the purchase of these stocks as AIM candidates, I place this data here on the Thread mainly for thought, review, discussion and the forming of conclusions. One thing I concluded was that you might not want to pull a Vealie on the way down. The other was that you could start out with a bang only to find yourself buying your way to a loss. But the end result can be positive do to inherent volatility. My question for discussion, Can the above history encourage one to Stock their Warehouse with any of the above Inventory? What are your observations and Conclusions? Do you notice anything else? Keith
