Tryouts for the May Day Data Dump

[mrmarket]

In anticipation of having to run a new data dump in the next few days, I'm giving all of the readers here another chance for some glory and recognition. Give me your best pick by posting on this thread and I'll add it to the data dump. Then when I run my model, I'll let you know how it does. Please limit your choices to stocks trading near their highs with positive earnings.

Your stock could be the next $$$MR. MARKET$$$ winner!

let me try one

my pick: TM

trading at a 3 year high, and rising fast, TM is the dominating force in the auto industry thanks to their unparalleled quality systems, and 10-year technology lead in hybrids.l

You want to know WHY Toyota looms so large? Read about this guy:

http://www.forbes.com/business/2004/03/11/cx_dd_mibp_0315toyodapoll.html

with a $128B market cap that equals its 2003 sales, backed by 60B in net assets (70B current assets), TM has a yearly gross profit of 26,000,000,000 dollars, and nets 6,000,000,000. Thats a lot of money! And they're only going to make more this year, as they sell twice as many Priuses as the oil supply dwindles. In 2005-2010, they'll make even more licensing this technology to Honda, Nissan, GM and eventually Ford and Chrysler when Americans also realize they should waste less gas, as there is actually a limit to its supply, and we have to pay $5/gallon like everyone else.

Thank you, I noticed it while perusing stocks from a modified version of Karl's approx screens. Bought some a few days ago and wanted to bring it up for consideration by others.

RCI

Renal Care Group, Inc. (RCI) runs dialysis centers in an expanding market and is growing at a steady clip. With medications exploding onto the scene, this is one of my long term picks that I add on to, but it has been having a nice run lately too and could be good for a quick 15%.

Doctors are prescribing pills for everything now it seems, and many of these pills end up having unwanted side effects. One of the more common side effects is kidney damage, which I have experience with as my grandmother's kidneys shut down a couple years ago due to her arthritis medication, a side effect her doctor neglected to mention.

Thanks for the great pick Mr. Mkt. on PDX. I never would have found it. Same goes for HZO which I'm still holding, some say it could be a take over possibility.
May candidates: AMED, LSCP, WIRE, MICC, CLZR, RCRC, EVCI.....
Whatever you pick, I'm in, you will beat Joe D's record.

My Pick

Varian medical systems
VAR on a roll

[Mi6op]

I'd like to throw PRFT back in this. Especially after their big purchase 2 weeks ago of Genysis systems.

stocks a steal at $4

[Websman]

My stock pick is SGMS.
Yea...I know what you're saying..."What's up with this Websman guy? Is he some kind of moron or something?"
Well... actually, I have been called a moron and much worse as I work in a prison. I've been called all kinds of nasty names...but, I'm getting sidetracked here. Back to SGMS.

SGMS, From what my untrained amatuer eye can tell, has good fundamentals and is in a good industry. They produce lottery tickets and such. As you know, more and more people are throwing their money away on lotteries. Hmm, They lose money...maybe, I can take some money from the poor fools?
They also have a few new contracts recently. It smells like a profit opportunity to me.
What do you think?
Be honest with me $$$Mr Market$$$! Cut me no slack. If it sucks, tell me. But if it's a good pick, I will forever bask in the glory, Knowing that the all knowing $$$Mr Market$$$ agrees with me.

May Dump

Like a lot of the picks above. Especially like ROV, LSCP and RCRC. LSCP is overextended right now with an 18% gain today, but should be good if it has a retracement. Running Karel's scan came out with LPX, NIHD and KCS. Think I would tend toward NIHD or KCS simply because there are already two interest rate sensitive stocks in Mr Market's portfolio (with LPX being a provider to home builders).

[rickg777]

Add ERES to the list.

YOU GOTA BELIEVE

My DART Says It's ASI. You gota believe

EPEX

MM - Please throw Edge Petroleum (EPEX) into the hopper. Sales & Earnings are at new highs as is the stock price. The gains on this one have more than offset the "losses" I'm taking at the pumps!

ROV

I picked ROV on 4/12, but I was concerned that it might have been overextended. However, I still like ROV, so that's my vote.
