The Iron Bowl Top 5

[mrmarket]

Looks like Auburn is going to the BCS title game. Buy one of these stocks and I am sure it will pay for your trip....

ANIK CVR DL SAIA UHAL

Which one do you like...and why? I'll buy one of these next week.

Here are a few facts that maybe not all will look at. Note that all are very thin (small number of shares outstanding thus few trade every day), spreads are normally wider, thus less liquidity , and they may be hard if not impossible for large institutions to take a position in them. Interesting that CVR has less that one million shares outstanding and the Beta is .6. Most of these stocks have higher than average volatility, so expect some breathtaking moves up and down.


ANIK Anika Therapeutics Inc ($34.51)- My research team upgraded this stock to a buy 20 days ago. It is up 19% since then. Another has a target of 45.02 which is 30.5 % over today's price. Beta of 1.62. 13M shares outstanding.


CVR Chicago Rivet & Machine Co ($39.00) - Target $59.98. Beta .63. My research team downgraded this from accumulate to hold 13 days ago. It is +21.8% since then. 996K shares outstanding. Dividend increased 20% to stockholders of record 12/5/2013.


DL China Distance Education Holdings Ltd ($ 19.30 - My research team has no opinion to this stock. Another research has a buy rating and target of $22.43. 33M shares outstanding.


SAIA Saia, Inc.($32.54) - My research team upgraded this to a Hold from Reduce 54 days ago. It is +14.4% since then. Target $45.12. Beta 1.5. 24M shares outstanding.


UHAL AMERCO ($225.60) - My research team upgraded this stock to accumulate from hold 68 days ago.Up 21.9% since then. Target $301.90. Beta 1.47. 19M shares outstanding.


I have a general fear of Chinese accounting. My pick is ANIK.

CVR, DL, UHAL have very little institutional ownership and very low daily average volume. What catalyst would make them move upward quickly? SAIA is not bad. It has a great percentage of institutional ownership,EPS growth, and ROA, but has problems with weak group strength and Q/Q earnings. That leaves ANIK . The brokers love it, has nice ROA, super low PEG , and very high sales Q/Q , and is in a relatively strong industry group. My pick, ANIK.

P.S. I still like my other top 4 (WETF,ALK,HTH,and LUV) better than Mr.Market's CVR, DL, SAIA, and UHAL

DL scores a 99 on my computer program ......should be good for a fast 15%

Hey there Mr. Market -
New member here.
Interesting that ANIK was in the top 5 of the poopface data dump as well. When I reviewed the poopface data dump, I bought ANIK the day after with an entry price of 33.85. Since that time it has been up 10% (37.6 and down 3%. It nearly hit my stop loss yesterday that I had on it at 32.84 - price reached 32.88. I don't know how often you have two stocks in two consecutive data dumps but I assume ANIK is here again because you want in.
I like ANIK and think I should lossen my stop loss slightly. If not ANIK, I think you will go with DL.
Appreciate this site. I am looking forward to learning what it takes to be HUGE!
