Well...here they are:
ARLP CME CWTR MCRI MPX
I will buy one of these tomorrow. Which one do you like? Why?
I would pick ARLP because it is the only one that is not short term Overbought. It could be ready for a nice bounceback...Closed well today last 45 mins...IIC
cwtr thats what the dart hit.

Never mind...I now have my own favorite...MPX.
MPX has a value of $34.01 and has a EPS rating of 92. I would wait for a pullback before I bought it though.

I've been in MCRI for about about a week and a half, already up 20%. IF MrMarket puts his stamp on it then I'm riding it to 35%
However, since I already own this stock, and recently sold URBN (unfortunately pre earnings report) I have lots of cash sitting around and, since I don't ever double up, would like a different stock. Just to be different from the others who have posted, I'll say CME

BTW: Don't forget who was the ONLY one who picked HDWR from the last Data Dump ;) I don't wanna mention any names...but...

C'mon Webs!!! Who cares about the EPS 92? What does that mean? In my opinion...and it is only my opinion, the IBD EPS ranking # is 90% worthless...it is backward looking. However, if you are looking at long term buys it may make sense to look back and then...MORE importantly...look forward...JMO
I'm not gonna say that it is not worth watching...but a BIT overextended and forecasts, while good, will not meet the past blowouts IMO

ARLP - channel turn up yesterday after W support above 55.00. Looks the best at first glance.

Actually, you're probably right about the EPS thing. I've only had IBD for a year now, but I'm starting to think it's not worth the paper it's printed on. That's why I'm here...to learn from more experienced traders like yourself and Mr Market. What you say makes sense. Thanks for the lesson!

I re-read my post...I came off a little harsh...didn't really mean to...Sorry 'bout that.
I still take IBD print, although I rarely read it anymore. I cancelled eIBD. I use DGO but not as much as I used to...and I certainly don't use DGO info for my site. But I find it of some use.
Anyway, below is a copy of a post I made at Yahoo CSSP today...might be of some interest:
Why do people buy stocks? It is the expectation of future
performance. In the beginning, people bought shares in the
expectation that the company would earn enough to distribute profits to the shareholders in the form of dividends. Additionally, as profits increased, not only did dividends increase, but the share value increased because more people wanted to share in those dividends.
Nowadays, not nearly as many people are interested in dividends. As a matter of fact, for many years I purposely avoided stocks with dividends...although now I do buy some. And IMO, Canslim, while I don't think it says this anywhere "officially", leans towards stocks that are putting profits back into expansion, research and marketing.
"Past performance is indicative of future performance"...this is one of the Canslim theories and IMO holds some validity...but it is not absolute. There are numerous reasons that a company that had poor past performance, now has good future prospects; e.g. New products, New management(Operational, Financial, Marketing...), technology, change in consumer patterns, etc...
I post my Undiscovered Gems List...I know they are not Canslim
material when I post them...but IMO they are a useful tool in trying to identify potential turnarounds.
It might also be a good idea for Canslimmers to try to identify
potential future Canslim candidates. This takes some work and may
require some long term tracking. But it can payoff by helping you get in on the ground floor. When I was using fairly strict Canslim principles I felt pretty good when one I bought showed up in new America a month or two later. Many of these became big winners for me.
Well, I'm sort of rambling and I'm not trying to influence
anyone...just thought I'd throw a few things out...IIC

With all the rec's for ARLP, and the nice 4% dividend to boot, it's going to be tough for me to resist picking this one up... I think it'll definitely take longer to hit the 15% than the MCRI, but because of the high dividend, it will also be less likely to drop much. Also, it'd be nice to pick up another energy-related stock since HDWR is gone... Yep, I think I'm going to pick this up on a dip if it happens.
Hey, $$MM, in the course of your top 5 research you didn't happen to dig up any "dirt" on ARLP that warned you away from it did you? Did your overexposure to the energy sector turn you off to ARLP?

I'm still working out the bugs of this new vBulletin software...I think I got it now, you should have received the announcement for MCRI..if not, you should check your spam folder. If it is in your spam folder, you should set your email settings to allow mail from "admin@mrmarketishuge.com"

Dang! ARLP is up another 3 bucks today, and I'm still waiting for that dip. I should have just picked it up... hesitation gets me every time!

"Power demand in China in 2002 was just above 10 gigawatts, and at the end of 2004 is expected to climb to 40. In 2006, it's expected to go over 60," Schwab said."
