Portfolio of the Week

[peanuts]

Dear Mr. Rob, Sir

I would like to take a long position in PMTI for this week- a pick from my IBD screen!

I'll behave myself and won't switch around... unless I really need to. So, expect to hear from me again

Thank you very much for doing all the work for this thread. It is a central piece of the Mr. Market site and your efforts are the reason for this... nevermind the (as IIC would say) weak performance of the picks.


Chuck Norris once visited The Virgin Islands. They are now called The Islands.

IMO it is a total sham outfit...But then again...That's just my opinion...Doug

I bought it on that big drop on the news break about the lying, cheating, and stealing. I own 5000 shares of it. Was in the green pretty good there for awhile but in the red right now. I'm banking on it getting listed on the Nasdaq. I also thing that it has now bottomed out so anything in the $6.00 range looks like a decent entry to me.

Nice pick!

You think so? I like this stock because within the past five quarters it's earning jumped over 100% to over 500%. I like this for the long term but we will see how it will do for POTW. Thanks

I like this one too. Looks like your screens are working pretty well. A growing EPS is definitely something you want to look for in a stock. The next thing you want to look at for this one is whether that growth is sustainable. If you can dig deep enough into the company's books to show that it is, you could have yourself a real winner here. The analysts have them making 0.95 in 2006 but just 0.82 in 2007. Find the real scoop, prove the analysts wrong... and profit!

By the way, you should tell your sister she can move her Roth IRA to Scottrade, or any number of banks, where she can purchase 6 month CD's that yield 5% or so. That beats collecting 1% in a savings Roth. Of course certain minimums probably apply ($2500-5000?) so it might still be necessary to stick with a savings account until enough cash is saved up.

Of course a good mutual fund would be better than that in the long run, but at this stage you probably can't/shouldn't convice anyone of that. However, a higher interest rate on the money should be a no-brainer.

Short DLX please.

SHORT HOM please.

Well Bo it looks like one of us isn't going to win this week. Are you shorting it in your portfolio or just the POTW. I own a decent size position in it.
I keep hoping for a letdown with the Red Sox but they are hitting the cover off the ball and the pitching is pretty good and holding up well. They might be hard to beat this year but it's hard to keep playing at the level they are playing at. Hopefully there will be a let down and the Yankees will slip by them again. Ortiz and Ramirez could be playing teams by themselves the way they are hitting. The city of Boston must be in their glory. I can't wait for the collaspe. Anyway good luck this week with your pick and the Red Sox but I'm rooting for them both to go the wrong way.
