Maybe these one-year charts will help you decide which ones look good to you (it's a 645k graphic file so it may take a couple seconds to load the first time):

I ran a top 3 today and got LECO, KNOT and DRQ. I'll pick LECO.

Making Moolah The Rob Way

I think SAFT is an unbelievable value at 6.8 x earnings. Just look at how their sales and earnings have been growing:

Also, the chart is showing an unmistakable uptrend over the past year with a strong, bullish MACD cross-over just a couple days ago:

I'll go with SAFT.

I am huge! No autographs, please.

More On SAFT

Here's another chart on why I like SAFT:

Shoot, at 6.8 x earnings, you could buy it and then sell it when the P/E runs "all the way" up to 12x, and if the earnings are the same as they are today, the sale price would be 83.64, a 76% increase over today's 47.54 close! I really hate insurance companies, and that's probably one of the best reasons to own part of one.

Rob,
Like you , I'm not thrilled by the insurance industry. My mother had a small met life policy that she cancelled and by some quirk of fate , when it went public she got 25 shares for nothing. She was just within the cutoff date. I told her to get rid of it and take the money,but she holds on to stocks and now it's worth almost twice her GM stock , go figure.

Saft

Nice looking pick, Rob. I do note a few facts to be considered:
1. $50 is all-time high, and that was just eight weeks ago. That means
SAFT must bust through $50 resistance, or else its a double top, and
that is bearish. Don't get me wrong: it could smash through the
barrier, but I am just noting that it is there.
2. PnF has a target of $53, which is less than 15% from the current
price.
3. It has no option chain, so I won't trade this one. UGH!
But the chart looks very nice:

Leco

1. LECO has a bullish chart and an $81 target (currently $60). That's nice.
2. It also has a very recent bull flag and retest today. In other words, Wednesday would be a great day to buy this stock!
3. She's already trading at an all-time high and has no overhead resistance to worry about! NICE!

[IIC]

Some nice looking ones there Ernie...But it wasn't hard for me to choose...First one...ABAX...Why???... Because it was listed first...I own it and I could use a 15% gain right now.

But seriously, I'll wait for your trimmed down list before I make a choice...Best, Doug(IIC)

GYMB Indpendence day Pick

GYMB great chart.....good concept........and is has been hitting 52 week highs ...

[spikefader]

Filtered your dump tonight Mr.M and wow, what a tough job to narrow it down to 10 let alone one. But my favorite is FAL.

The fully filtered Creme of the Crop are FAL, LBIX, FTO, EGY, CHRW, ADS, TXU, GRMN, CELG AND LVS. This will be a featured port in the parabolic site as soon as I get that up and running again (hopefully tonight).

Great dump though! Good luck with whichever gem you go with!

OK, the Parabolic site is back on line after that little host issue, and there's the link for the MM filtered port tonight. Some great looking charts in there and expectations are high.

LECO & SAFT -- Taking A Peek At The Numbers

I appreciate your feedback on the SAFT chart, New-born. Now allow me to make a case for SAFT vs. LECO if I may. Again I want to emphasize the P/E ratio.

When you buy a stock, you're buying future earnings. Some stocks have utterly phenomenal growth rates and can therefore support high P/E ratios. But as that growth slows the P/E ratio must follow suit. I think you already know this; I'm saying it for the benefit of those reading here who may not.

As you can see from these comparison graphs, SAFT's Y-O-Y and Q-O-Q earnings-per-share growth rates are more than twice that of LECO on average.

According to MSN's Moneycentral Web site, LECO's P/E ratio is 19.4 vs. SAFT's at 6.8. So the bottom line is that in choosing LECO over SAFT, one would buying less than half the growth at nearly three times the price. It's like paying $2.85 for a cup of coffee less than half full vs. paying $1.00 for a full cup. Which would you buy?
