(closed on 09/05/08)

This is one of the only charts I have ever seen with an almost  perfectly straight trend.

This is an atypical trade for me, as I am primarily a contrarian trader but this seems to have an singular purity which I havent seen elsewhere.

Oberweis: Small cap favorites
19%

"Despite a very tough environment, buying shares in good companies which are performing well should bear fruit over time," says Jim Oberweis, Jr.

In The Oberweis Report, he adds, "We’ve put together a list of our top ideas that have already reported earnings this quarter and whose earnings and outlook remain robust." Here's a look at his favorites in healthcare, defense, and technology.

"As the last three months have so clearly demonstrated, cheap markets can become cheaper, and in certain rare instances, much cheaper.

"However, in our experience, those who buy when 'fear' is the driver are l

Year 2, Week 12 Major Position Changes

Fund positions of 1.0% or greater can be found each week in the right margin of the blog, under the label cloud and recent comments areas; I highlight weekly the larger position changes.

Tradermark
48%
One of our old favorites, Illumina (ILMN) is being blasted today post an earnings report that I don't see as negative.

We sold the last of our Illumina on Sept 8th at a split adjusted $42
Illumina (ILMN) is a healthcare technology stock that has treated us very well, a $10.5K gain since inception in December 2007. However this is a case example of a stock the bear has finally
