I must have farted or something because this is the most lukewarm reception I have ever seen to my Top 5. I really think some of these are pretty good stocks. Maybe I am wrong?

It's not you, your hugeness...I think everyone is drunk.

I like GIL and CNXS. It looks like a great time to buy both. I may pick one up next week.

YOU ARE HUGE! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

[mooddude]

maybe the market peaked LOL

I think I like CNXS. It dropped hard earlier in the week and recovered nicely today in an ugly market. I like the simple product line-up and the growth. I also like the simple product line-up because it seems like it would be harder to figure out a way for the lawyers to get sicked on them.

The market has been a bit unkind this month. Old Greenspan throwing out a asset warning today was not helpful either. I do agree with his warning on Federal spending. I get the feeling if we get a worse than expected CPI number next month it could be nasty finish for the year.

Just based on a fly over view of general market conditions for US stocks and the dollar, both of which look weak and the MM port is still holding several other US/building stocks from prior picks - I'd go with SQM. Chile I like, too. It's a free market star.

Good luck guys.

Kick off Classic

My pick are the NY Jets for the AFC East, and CNXS!!
CNS is buying back shares, plus declaring a 6cent div.The company has little debt, has a product that just about everyone could use. My only problem is that those breathe right nasal strips can be like the 'Band-Aid'. Once only made by J&J, now made by everyone. Any thoughts? Watching football lastnight, several players were sportin' 'em! Afro- Breathe-rights, anyone??!!!

I originally posted this on the other related board, so to keep on topic, here it is again.
My choice is a gem I currently own: CNXS. CNS makes 2 primary products, one of which is remarkable. Breathe Right strips help you with your sinius conditions & if you tend to snore. ( My wife claims that I do, but hey, I'm right there next to her & I don't hear a thing!!)

They also introduced Fiber Choice, a pill supplement that you take to increase fiber intake. Compared to other products on the market, there is no mixing, messy powders, just 1 pill takes you there. (regrets to Grace Slick.)

Anyway, that is my choice & why.

I wonder if they can make something that can take away the sting of KBH, OUCH!!

FRGB...vol too low

SQM...vol too low but the chart looks nice

CNXS...Technicals mixed...Flat EPS projected for next qurter afetr 3 blowout qtrs.

BHS...You know why I wouldn't touch this one

GIL...Of your 5 I like this one best on the recent flat base/lo vol...If the 21 day sma holds I think this one could break. Technicals mixed so I'd wait to see if the sma holds.

Top Five Charts

Here's a chart of GIL:
I like it. Now if the market cooperates . . . .

Certainly it seems close to a half-decent entry.

Sqm

SQM:
What a run this stock has had! Incredible run! The yearly had a buy signal in May 2004 and no sell signal since!


Daily:
Shows considerable resistance at the current levels.

Not really too far away from the buy point IF the market doesn't collapse on us. And I don't like the very low volume. There is enough clout on the MM forum alone to make this stock jump.
