CML - New Highs This Week on Volume for Current Selection

Fri., 11/6/09 | 11:31PM - CML started the week on Monday with an announcement that it will be added to the S&P SmallCap 600 index. It then gapped open on Tuesday and by week's end put in 5 straight days of gains while breaking into new high territory and closing the week at a new all-time high in price. This company now has 5 straight quarters with triple percentage digit increases in their quarterly EPS when each quarter is compared to the same quarter a year ago. The Computer-Data Storage industry that Compellenet is a part of continues to be ranked within the top 10 of the 197 groups and just about all other ranks remain solid.

For those who may have bought at the 2nd buy point and now could be sitting with unrealized gains of 20%, any considerable...

ABVT - Leader Closes at a New All Time High After a Pull Back to 50 DMA & Earnings Release

Fri., 11/6/09 | 7:41PM - ABVT aggressively moved up this week from the support it recently found at the 50 DMA. Friday's action was bullish with a continued advance from Thursday's positive session and a close at new all-time highs on twice normal volume. This leading provider of high-bandwidth connectivity solutions announced third quarter 2009 financial results on Thursday that included an EPS of 0.88 cents a share. When we compare this number to the same quarter last year we get a 110% increase and that is well above the guidelines of just a +25% increase. This company now has a string of 6 consecutive quarters with a triple digit percentage increase in their quarterly earnings. Just about all ranks remain about as high as they can be.

At this point, any above average volume declines or a break of the 50 DMA and coinciding previous highs near $48 would be another...

MFE - Hold or Sell Based on Fund Ownership

- July 21st, 2009
- James F. Taulman - www.JamesTaulman.com

Q: I bought MFE after seeing it as a set up in your Sunday Set Up Report (learn more here) I'm thinking of selling it as I have noticed that there is a decrease in fund ownership from the March 09 number of 363 to the June 09 number 360. What are your thoughts on this?

A: Good to hear from you. I hope all is well.

I don't think that should be a reason to consider selling at this point though it could be at least noted to see if a trend does develop.

I would think that once you own a stock your biggest reason for either holding or selling should mostly be based on the price/volume action. As a matter of fact, price/volume action supersedes everything else and MFE is holding up quite well since it triggered our buy signal on 6/29. The stock is at new all-time highs and there was the recent solid break out to those new all-time highs on 6/29 that occurred on almost 3 times normal volume. Also there has been support recently found at the 50 DMA on 6/23 and 7/10. An area where mutual fund managers usually step in and add to as existing position. These are signs that institutions are still accumulating shares.

Since the breakout volume has been about average with and in a tight trading range. As you know virtually everyone that owns the stock is sitting with a profit and there is no overhead supply in the way of it making possible further gains. The company remains a leader in a leading group with continued high rankings.

FIG 1 - Chart below shows nice breakout, support found at 50 DMA (red line) and recent quiet trading even as the price is at new highs. Not many willing sellers.

FIG - 2 Weekly chart below shows a nice longer term base without much extension.

I applaud your manner in which you seem like you will sell a stock that is not performing well and I am sure that you follow the rules of never letting a big loss develop, yet in this new market somewhat ideal selections such as MFE have been more hard to come by. If you are in such a fundamentally sound stock that meets the winning characteristics and you bought right, I would strongly consider letting it run if it will until it technically breaks down or something fundamental changes with the company.

The main thing I am concerned about is that MFE is set to announce earnings on July 30th and as you know, holding a stock through earnings is tough. I will have more updates on MFE in my Sunday Set UP Report (learn more here).

Lets end this recession one person at a time!

He now runs his own premium investing report service through his website www.stocksetups.com where he publishes several reports including his Sunday Set Up Report. This report highlights only what he considers to be the best of the best set ups for both long and short investors. Trigger prices are given for each stock he selects along with on-going follow up commentary that alerts readers to sell signals.

ANNOUNCING! - My New Sunday Set-up Report Service
The stocks that are featured through this series of weekly reports are first posted as "set-ups", meaning they have solid fundamentals along with a bullish technical chart pattern and are poised for a breakout! Trigger prices and trigger volumes are given for each stock, but only if the stock makes both these hurdles would it be flashing a technical buy signal. That buy signal is valid only up to the given maximum buy price. Investors who wish to follow the guidelines should not chase stocks and pay more than the posted maximum buy price. Also, investors should strictly adhere to the 7-8% max loss rule and always strive to keep losses small. Once a stock triggers, on-going updates and commentary are made available to subscribers to help guide them through the stock's current action. Readers are encouraged to write in and ask questions or comment on these stocks at anytime.

What is the difference ?

- More selective, featuring only the best, highest ranked stocks. The selection process is based on the findings of a landmark study that identified the common characteristics of the best stocks before they made their major advances. Since the inception of this series of Sunday reports I have featured only 14 of the best set ups I could find. Of those 14, two did not trigger so those should have not been purchased under the guidelines. The 12 that did trigger clear technical buy signals are:

Check the charts on each one of these stocks above to see have you may have faired trading these selections.

- Slower paced, usually featuring only about one stock a week. Completely focused on high-ranked stocks that match up very favorably with the guidelines. The only known source for such information. Forget searching through lists of 100s of stocks only to find that 99% of them don't match up with the guidelines or are not in technically sound bases. They either don't have the best fundamentals, are not in leading industries, or the price is way too extended from a sound base of support or the base is sloppy.

- Fewer reports, less confusing, less overwhelming. Get just the information you need on only the stocks that most interest YOU. Includes technical buy and sell signals along with on-going commentary.

- This service is ideal for both short-term and intermediate-term traders as well as longer term investors. Each stock has both strong fundamental for longer term growth as well as solid technicals that may be more appealing to shorter-term traders who like to buy breakouts and sell a few days later booking quick profits.

- Shorting system of reports included with this Sunday Set Up Report. Most of the shorts featured will likely be stocks that may be current or past selections that were featured once as longs. These stocks have made considerable runs during the bull part of the market cycle. As markets turn bearish and funds are unloading these stocks, some will be featured as short set ups. The ideal short should yield a quick 20 - 30% profit.

What are some of the characteristics that these stocks have?

Solid Earnings: The Indispensable Element Of Great Stocks
The single most important gauge of a stock's potential is its earnings growth.

Sales, Profit Margins, Return On Equity
These three fundamental factors are crucial.

Institutional Sponsorship: We Are Catching The Stocks The Pros Are Buying
When mutual funds and other professional investors buy certain stocks, the sheer magnitude of their buying power propels stock prices higher.

They Belong to the Strongest Industries - Groups That Are Leading the Market
Up to half of a stock's price movement is influenced by the industry it belongs to.

Leading Stocks
It is these stocks that provide the best opportunities for future gains.

At New Price Highs
When a stock reaches a new high, it doesn't mean its best days are over. On the contrary, it's actually a good time to consider buying it as there is no overhead supply in the way of further gains. Everyone that owns the stock is profitable and there are less willing sellers, making for less supply.

The Companies Have New Products, Services Or Management
Astounding stock gains don't just happen. Great new products, services or management teams are usually the driving force behind the greatest stocks.
