Hello Friends! Thanks so much for stopping by and visiting my blog, Stock Picks Bob's Advice ! As always, please remember that I am an amateur investor, so please remember to consult with your professional investment advisers prior to making any investment decisions based on information on this website.

I didn't waste any time with that 'nickel'! Since I just sold a portion of my PCP stock at a targeted gain, this generated the 'internal signal' as I call it, giving me the 'permission slip' to add a new position. And I didn't waste any time! Looking through the list of top % gainers on the NYSE today, I came across IHS, an old favorite of mine, currrently, as I write, trading at $58.69, up $2.37 or 4.20% on the day.

IHS (IHS) IS RATED A BUY

I am giving IHS another shot. This is an old favorite of mine, having written up this stock on March 24, 2007 , and also having had shares for a brief time before hitting a loss and selling them. As I have indicated before, I am almost always willing to revisit past stock picks and past stock purchases for consideration if all of the factors are present. Sort of like having the planets aligned in some astrological sense :).

In any case, I purchased 140 shares of IHS at $58.45. Wish me luck. I shall try to give a quick update on this stock. Meanwhile, you can visit my March 24, 2007 post, for a review at least at that date.

Bob
