Beginning to prove its worth

Market Speculator 04/10/08

This pick is about: Genoptix Inc. (GXDX)

Rating:	$26.25 (04/10/08)
Closed:	06/03/2009 @ $29.69 (+13.10% in 418 days)

6 pts

GXDX moved 13% on Friday, this companies incredible earnings and sales growth make this stock have the ability to make a run at higher ground. Stocks who show tremendous sales and earnings growth tend to outperform the broader market on a 6-18 month time frame. GXDX has broken out on strong volume, coupled with its growth qualities makes this stock an ideal long.

Remember to cut your losses quickly, 8-10% is where I cut my losses. Since GXDX is greater than 10% away from its 50dma an entry here is slightly more risky. However, given a great cut loss strategy you can avoid large losses!

Growth and Value, wait you can have your cake and eat it?

Market Speculator 05/24/08

This pick is about: American Physicians Service Group Inc. (AMPH)

Rating:	$22.55 (05/24/08)
Closed:	06/03/2009 @ $21.32 (-5.45% in 374 days)

6 pts

AMPH is a stock whose last qtr numbers show tremendous growth. Although estimates are for next qtr to have negative year over year growth isn't it ok for the negativity to be in the estimates? I do believe the negativity is a good thing especially when we are in this market environment. More negative people are on a stock the more likely the reaction to earnings will be strong. That is if they beat the estimate. With that said, last qtr growth was phenominal!

Sales growth (YoY): 121%
EPS growth (YoY): 1,476%
P/E ratio: 6

The stock is selling 6x earnings yet grows at almost 1500%. Return on Equity is at a healthy 31.04. I wish the chart was a bit more sound but with a thinly traded stock it can be rocked a bit. Do not let a loss turn into disaster!

1 pt

VISN is not resting just above its 50dma. The decline into the 50dma has been lighter, but can it bounce. If it bounces I would like to add to my position, however if we see it slice through the 50dma its time to move on.
