The Hello 2013 Top 5

[mrmarket]

Here are my five favorites as we begin the new year...which one do you like:

BKJ CFNL DORM FLT RMD


what to buy...what to buy? I will buy one of these soon.

Mr. Market, BKJ is just too thinly traded, CFNL and FLT are blah. That leaves DORM, not bad but I've never heard of them, and RMD. I've had a resmed CPAP machine for sleep apnea for several years, it needs replaced, it's too loud, is outdated, but it always runs even without me putting in a filter. All the baby boomers are getting old and most will have sleep apnea sooner or later. I'll bet the Huge One snores loader than a lion. I see billions in future sales next 10 years and the nickel and dime extras, filters, tubing, masks, a gold mine.

Flt, rmd

I feel Mr. Markets model will choose FLT due to it being in IBD's top 50, along with it's strong earnings. I like RMD's lovely div,HUGE earnings, & Zacks rate it a buy. RMD has reached an all time high however, Mr. Market seems to always buy them when they hit high. If there's any hope in correcting the "Snore" I'm in!
Blessings for a HUGE 2013!

FLT looks pretty good to me, although I will admit that RMD is interesting as well. Lots of potential in both stocks.

damn good Top 5 here

I agree with all the pros of FLT and RMD.

Something about DORM being debt free keeps grabbing my attention too.
The fact that Ford is quickly becoming a darling for 2013 keeps me in this sector and while we just sold LAD why not replace it with DORM? But diversification is not the focus here and making 15% is.

So after all of that I may look at buying FLT, RMD and DORM on dips. They all look good!

CFNL? Maybe if I step back into financials, but as a Mortgage Broker I tend to shy away from investing in any Banks after dealing with some real dingbats in my industry and truly cannot separate that from the companys stock performance.

What will THE HUGE ONE pick?
DORM has great potential for a funny write up, but FLT is my guess.

If we are looking for 16% in six weeks, I like BKJ - only 5 million shares outstanding - but it will move in a hurry -

Not too sexy but at this point in time, RMD looks like the winner to me!

Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone had tracked the performance of the entire top 5 selection group rather than just the one pick Mr. Market ultimately chooses. It seems like if all the stocks meet the screen criteria they could all be worthy candidates. I'm sure there are many worse portfolios to have than a set of Mr. Market top 5's.

The reason I ask is that this Mr. Market top 5 group led me to purchase FLT Jan 7th at $55.36. As of right this minute the stock has shot up on earnings report and is currently trading at $67.00, which is a gain of almost 21%!

This is not the first time that I bought a top 5 pick that was not the final selection Mr. Market made, and found it to be profitable. So I was just curious if anyone had ever looked at the full top 5's performance. And no, I don't have time to do it and I doubt most of you guys do either...LOL.

Thanks for doing the top 5's, Mr. Market...lots of good stuff to consider in those stocks!
