Hello Friends! Thanks so much for stopping by and visiting my blog, Stock Picks Bob's Advice !

As I like to do from time to time on this blog, I would like to share with you the current status of my Trading Portfolio. I last wrote up my "trading portfolio update" on June 7, 2007 , a month ago. There have been a few changes since then. But the biggest development has been my partipation in Covestor. You now can check my Covestor page and see the daily changes, all trades, and my performance relative to the indices and other registered investors.

Covance, a leading third party pharmacuetical testing lab, continues to post strong earnings growth as they move ahead of the pack in their field. With profit margins of over 10% and operating margins of over 13%, they have plenty of cash on hand, though their forward PE of over 20 is a bit higher than what I'd typically care to buy. However, those ratios are not that unusual for companies in this space.

Top management has many years of experience in the pharma field, with a keen understanding of  the large firms expectations.

Strong buy.

With that nickel burning a hole in my pocket, and being under my maximum of 25 positions in my Trading Portfolio, I set out to see if I could find a new candidate for purchase this morning. (It usually doesn't take me too long!)

Checking the list of top % gainers on the NYSE this morning, I found a new name, Covance, Inc. (CVD), which appeared to fit my criteria. CVD, as I write, is trading at $62.56, up $2.39 or 3.97% on the day.

Briefly, the latest quarterly report was strong, the Morningstar.com "5-Yr Restated" financials seemed solid, and the "Point & Figure" chart from
