    ESMC have already...

    My 2 cents worth now...
    I had bought and sold AACE in Jan. but it still looks okay.
    I had bought and sold half of my position in ESMC and it's going down today.
    HUBG still thinking about this one.
    Don't like AHH or COF right now.

      $$$Mr.Market$$$,

      I recommend that you buy ESMC for the following reasons:
      Huge increase in volume over the last few sessions,
      Poised to get on the IBD 100,
      Trading within a reasonable distance of $20.00.

      These quasi-technicals coupled with the outstanding fundamentals that are required for a stock to pass through your screening process would seem to indicate that ESMC can easily increase by 15%, but just not in the standard $$$Mr.Market$$$ time frame of 6-8 weeks, but in the standard $$$Mr.Money$$$ time frame of 6-8 days. Compound that interest my friend. Compound that interest.

        Are you to buy before or after the jobs report tomorrow?

        A government report may say the economy added 130,000 jobs last month, the most since November 2001. If so, will the market anticipate an increase in rates by the Fed?

          Hmm....

          I think I like...IMGG...

          I don't trust ESMC anymore as far as stock price goes - while it is a solid company (which is why I bought it on your last top five), upon buying it I thought it had the potential to move to fifteen in a month or two. Well, it seems to have been shanghai'd by "TO THE MOON!" people, and it is in a position where I wouldn't know what to expect from its price. A lot of the price appreciation was due to speculation it would hit the IBD 100. If, for whatever reason this did not occur for Monday - I would think this type of investor won't have the patience to hold it for even another week, and down she'll go.

          Or it could hit 35.00 in a matter of minutes.

          I like AHH as a solid investment. The company pays a healthy dividend of $2.20 per year (Over 8% at this level), which started just this January. Earnings were exceeded last year with a positive outlook for 2004. It is right at its high for the year today, and I think $32.00 is a very realistic goal for this stock in the next month or so.

            A dividend signals that the management of the company doesn't have anything of value that they can use that dividend money for at the corporate level. Why else would they bother with paying it to investors rather than plowing back into the company?

            I am mistrustful of a company paying a large cash dividend as sending a signal that it is a washed-up old cash cow that attracts widows, orphans and pensioners rather than real men like Titan Omega, $$$Mr.Market$$$ and me. Of course you don't want to put money back into ESMC because you would rather settle for a measley 8% return doled out to your quaterly over the course of a year than to actually face the wind of raw mercantilism and be generously reqarded for you valor.

              ESMC vs. AHH

              Well, just for the record, I'll be buying neither of those stocks. I made 44% on ESMC, I'm happy to move on to something I feel has a more balanced risk/reward at this point.

              Buying a company with a dividend is hedging your bet so to speak. I still wouldn't hold it for any time at all if it went up 15% as I think it probably can and will do.

              AHH is a REIT...paying a dividend kind of goes with the territory.

                Top 5 Pick

                ESMC Potential day trade 15% but it might go 15% the other way also.
                A little risky for me. It is in a good group though.

                AACE Leader of its group, IBD 100 member, its group is just OK.

                I'll pick AACE

                  Mr. Money and ESMC

                  Great call on ESMC. Made 24% in a couple days and out !

                  Mr. Money.. you deserve the honor of having a thread like IIC, Park Stenz.. etc...
