V The Winner

ATRI BIIB MDF PRA V

V scores well on my Dream Tai Program beating all the others, and on another program I use V scores a 92 out of a possible 100 !

I'd go with PRA based on good earnings numbers. In Dec 2010: Reported EPS at 3.08 vs. estimate at 1.35. In Mar 2011: Reported EPS at 1.46 vs. estimate at 1.15. In Jun 2011: Reported EPS at 1.74 vs. estimate at 1.26. In Sep 2011: Reported 1.57 vs. estimate at 1.29.

Check the average daily volume on ATRI, only a couple 1000 per Yahoo.

V has come a long way this month, 100 to 114. Too far too fast for me.

PRA would be my choice at this time. MDF is compelling, too.

V would have been nice to own today...nice little pop. Wonder how long the momentum will last?

I like MDF. In fact I bought some today. Hoping for a quick 5 - 10% next week.

I just enjoyed a fast run and closed out of my V position and looking at this list see my money on BIIB. BIIB has a lot in their pipeline slated for 2012 and with that brings both good and bad news; but concensus is they will be having a really good year.

Hello MrMarket,

And thank you for your continuing good picks. Rough market ahead for a while. It never goes straight up, right?

I like MasterCard a bit better, but Visa is a very good choice in a low-interest rate environment. If you can borrow under 3%$ and lend over 8%, that is a nice margin.

Funny you say that about MA and V---I have same thoughts as MA a bit better but V no loser either.

Sold MDF for $8.75 or a 7% profit.

Re-bought MDF today at $8.52. MDF seems to like to bounce up of its 20 DMA and it is sitting right on top of it. Lets hope the market holds and this follows it pattern.

Stopped out for 5%. Guess it only works once.
