Very nice looking list IIC!

Doug,
Is the IBD 100 list in numerical order. I was wondering if HOM was in the #6 spot.

I don't post the IBD 100...That would be copyright infringement.

I posted my IIC 100...and yes, it is in ranked order from 1-100.

The list I post of those that are on both the IIC 100 and IBD 100 are in alpha order...There is a record number on both lists this week (30)...It will never be 100 because I think IBD has a $15 share cutoff and I don't...This week the IIC 100 has 15 stocks under $15...Doug

Got it. What are your thoughts on HOM since it's pretty high up on you list.

I don't like it short term...I traded it and made a little the day earnings came out...But I think it will be a while before it gets up to 7...We'll see when the next eps comes out...I think they will miss...Doug

Ski, I have not a clue about HOM but IMO this thing is getting ready to explode. Now the direction is unknown. Notice the compression on my moving averages. This normally happens before a violent movement. The 50 day historic volatility is 76 so it has potential to really explode... The only thing I do not like is the gap down suggesting a change in direction, but who knows. I would keep a close eye on it!!

[IIC]

The gap down was on news http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/051201/dath029.html?.v=33
Now, let's see how well they utilize the cash...I think that is the key...Doug

[Runner]

IIC, what do you think about this short interest on HOM? http://www.nasdaq.com/asp/quotes_ful...day=&charttype

[Runner]

I think HOM stands a pretty good chance of having a short panic and these boys are sweating it out right now. The battle continues and we shall see who heads for the door in a very short time from now..

I've been struggling with holding or dumping the position for the last week or so. Their guidance for 4th qtr. 2005 & yearly 2005 & 2006 is up but I thought it would have gone off by now. I feel the same way Runner does, like it is getting ready to pop and go off one way or another, but I'm not quite as confident as I was a week or two ago when I entered. My stop is $5.43 so I'll give it at least to there this week. It seems to be showing some kind of strength by not dropping radically this week on much lower average volume but everytime it goes over $5.80 it gets knocked back down. Someone is unloading into any strength it shows. Someone who probably bought real early and is taking a nice gain in this price range.

Runner,
I've been watching that short interest grow. You're right about the shorts sweating it out right now. They're 4th qtr. ends Dec. 31 and we're getting down to the wire so there is a very real possibility of a short position panic. Except for this Friday the stock has been holding up fairly well on lower than average volume and Friday was also another drop on much lower than average volume.
I like the fact that it hasn't really folded and dropped big time and all the recent drops have been on much less than average daily volume. I'm prejudiced but not foolish. I'll have that stop in place at $5.43 Monday morning.

[IIC]

The short interest goes up...but the days to cover goes down.

The chart is interesting...and maybe it pops??? But hurricane season is over and I'm not planning on any earthquakes in the next quarter
