Very interesting, SuperVoy. Some of those others were on my screen at one time, but I failed to buy them, like CYD, CEDC, CRDN, and even TASR.

The amazing thing about FARO is that I bought at $6 and sold for over $10 for more than a 70% gain even before the 86% that the stock went up during the last month. This was the first stock I ever recommended on the old Yahoo group, proposing it as an alternative to SSYS, I believe.

TRCI I have been recommending here since it was $6.

I think the thing for us to do for homework is to take the list you provided and look at what the charts for each of these looked like 1 month ago, and if there was any news or other developments that drove this. This is what O'Neil says he did to develop CANSLIM, and what Kevin Kennedy said he did to develop his trading model.

What I'm always trying to do is pick 5 or 6 stocks that might be on that list next month. If one of them hits 90% to 100% and the others do nothing, it averages out to 20%/month, which is what my portfolio has been doing steadily for the last nine months.

Sounds like the Dave Kingman strategy...I'm more like Tony Gwynn I guess.

I agree. I am sorry that I got out last week. Today would have been a much better day to press the button. Oh well. :roll:
