EDUC HTHT ICHR IPGP TRT

Which one do you like....and why? I will buy one of these in the next few days.

I really like IPGP, and almost bought it last time around. I think TRT looks amazing, too. Could easily double before IPGP gets its 15%, but looks a bit riskier, too.

I think IPGP is one of the "classical growth stocks". I find this stock in many more risky stock recommendations. If they don't dissapoint the price will go up further. Great chart.
EDUC is to small and volatile for me.
HTHT seems to have reached the top, since then the price is in a downtrend. From fundamentals fairly valued.
ICHR - small, but surprisingly good fundamentals.
TRT - with 28 mio.USD market cap I would consider this stock as micro. Beside some temporary spikes (2007) in long view since 1995 more or less sideways. Perhaps at the moment building price momentum like in 2007. I am not quiet sure if I would invest in such a small stock with this price history.

ICHR 29.06 hovering around its 50 day MA 28.52

IPGP 242.05 greater than 15% above its 50 day MA 208.40

TRT 8.18 greater than 30% above its 50 day MA 5.96

Like always, 5 great stocks. Probably all good buys. The only one I'd rule out would be EDUC. Despite the earnings , growth, and dividend it's just too lightly traded.

I'd go with ICHR. Tremendous growth, low p/e compared to peers, lots of volume, undervalued, could pop fast.

I didn't look to closely at ICHR, because I mainly use Yahoo (gotta stop doing that) and the financials don't show up there for some reason, for this one. Where are y'all looking these days for good fast finance info?

[billyjoe]

Jiesen, I look at Vectorvest where I can compare all 5 side by side and also with 1 click see how they compare to other stocks within their industry group. I think you can get a free analysis on each stock without a subscription. Often Mr. Market's top 5 are very close in ranking to each other. In this grouping only EDUC was not up with the other 4.

For very quick financial info on a single stock I prefer investors.com (Webpage of Investor's Business Daily, Enter Ticker/Keyword).

IPGP - I do love this stock, it has more than doubled since my love affair first started. However, its 2 month chart is starting to look... over. I'm not calling the top of this run or anything, just saying it is looking a little too weak for me to see it as a MM 15% from here winner. I think it still has a chance to come off the 228 level and continue its crazy climb, but I wouldn't put my money on that.
