Hot Pick Of The Day

My portfolio

newborn...what are your current positions....and how long do you hold a stock for....i get the feeling you dont let the stock ride and you take quick daily gains!!!! Just curious

cheers

Yes and no. I take quick daily gains on some stocks, but I have investments in Canada that I let ride. I currently own only Viking Energy Trust in Canada on the Toronto Stock Exchange. What happened is that about 10 days ago I sold off all my positions on the expectation of a pullback in the market. I am set to re-enter the market next week when I get a break to do so (I have a lot of obligations on my plate right now).

oh yah one other play is ECA...( i have to agree with Cramer) is a good one.....however, i do like UPL better long term..esp if they get their downspacing approved in wyoming.....huge proven reserves for UPL!!!

[New-born baby]

Xto

well for the drillers im looking DO, RIG, and UNT, equipment...i like HYDL and GRP, and exploration any constructive pullback on swn....and im ....u guessed it backing up the truck.....i also like UPL(i think its acting better now), and KWK is a good one. oh yah and one i have been following for awhile is XTO.

I rate XTO as a buy for Tuesday. I like this one.

[ninner]

if u like trusts you should look at sjt and BPT......those are good ones...funny i live in canada and i have no canadian holdings....in the past i have had better success on the us market.

[ninner]

i agree i almost bought xto on friday....but i went with GRP instead!! I still xto may pull back one more time here just cus usually they do in the early summer for abit before going higer!!

Pmt.un

if u like trusts you should look at sjt and BPT......those are good ones...funny i live in canada and i have no canadian holdings....in the past i have had better success on the us market.

Why don't you buy PMT.UN? I love the PMT! Made some real good change off of her, and am looking to re-enter here soon.

By the way, where in Canada? B.C.? Calgary?

just taking into account price and volume action....look as the the price has dipped here....in general the volume has decreased....that is telling me that selling is slowing down here which is a good sign and worth holding !! I live in Victoria BC on the island...very pretty here. I will take a look at that symbol!!

cheers

Ninner,
Was curious about the scan that turned up HTRN on your screen. What were the parameters you had plugged in on that scan?

[ninner]

i used DGO stock screener and my criteria is as follows

Screen CriteriaParametersEarnings Per Share (EPS) RatingFrom 80 to 99
Relative Price Strength (RS) RatingFrom 80 to 99
Industry Group Relative Strength (GRP RS) RatingA, B
Sales + Profit Margins + ROE (SMR) RatingA, B, C
Accumulation/Distribution (Acc/Dis) RatingA, B, C
SmartSelect® Composite RatingFrom 80 to 99
Current Price % Above or Below 50-Day Moving Average PriceFrom 0 to5%

i wanted to find solid companies that were still strong but their stocks were in a consolidation mode to set up a watch list for futher purchases!!! If you can find a better way i am open to suggestions

thanks Doug....and yes i almost forgot about that....any opinions on where TOL is going after the split.....alot of times cus of the added liquidity...the stock drops abit post split (ie..upl and urbn ) did that for me......actually another stock where all the bad news may be included in the stock price.....is PNRA ...q2 will be lower then q1 but stilll will beat q2 of 2004.

all the best

Ninner...I don't like the Homes and RE groups...but then again...I didn't like them last year either...I just think the bubble has to burst...but I have no idea when it will be...Sorry...I just don't have a good feel for the group short term...although I am confident that we will see some MAJOR corrections...sometime???

[skiracer]

No, I wasn't going in that direction. That scan should provide you with a group of good if not great stocks. Whether they are setting up to go off is another question. I was just interested in the one stock in your list of six. HTRN. That's a strong scan and produces a list of strong stocks to fit those parameters. Any stocks out of it should be pretty decent issues.
Just for the hell of it what is your opinion of HTRN?

Tech bubble lasted . . .

Doug,

How long did it take to burst the tech bubble? Three years? I forgot. But it did come, and it was ugly when it came. NAZ lost 90% of its value. That is what I call UGLY. The last time that happened was the Great Depression and Stock Market collapse of 1929-1938. Fell from 382 down to 34. UGH!

I really don't know...but I never got into the dotcom thing...If I knew what I knew today...I would've short term...But I didn't...I traded a lot of software and related tech stuff...but no REAL dotcoms....My faves that I traded a lot from late '98 to early '00 were CREE and FLEX.

But I do remember 1987...I was a Die Hard Canslimmer back then...I was in cash by early September...WON called it right back then.
