Best Perfomers Over Last Quarter

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 06:14:00 GMT

It is a moot point looking at weekly winners this week; just a handful of stocks moving up led by such growers as Campbell Soup (CPB) aka "people will still need to eat soup if nothing else" trade. So instead I am going to look at the best and worst performers the past 3 months. In this post we have every stock over $1.25B in market cap returning 15%+ (115 stocks) Now keep in mind the data is a bit misleading because 3 months ago at this time we were in the throes of another painful correction, in a series of step ladders down. About 90 days ago Fannie and Freddie and Lehman were falling off a cliff, and we were just over a week away from Hank Paulson going to Congress to create a plan to backup Fannie/Freddie. So this was a "bottom" and the financials rallied hard for the next 6-7 weeks - Fannie/Freddie of course were officially taken over within 2 months from that point.[More...]

Commerce Bancshares' (CBSH) 1Q08 diluted operating earnings (excluding the transactions related to VISA) of $0.63 per share were two pennies ahead of our estimate. Earnings were driven by stable net interest margin and strong growth in non-interest revenue (Bank card and trust fees had a solid growth during the quarter), while the expenses...[More...]

Mon, 17 Mar 2008 03:41:30 GMT

Despite a relatively flat market, not many outperformers this week.Below is a list of 59 names with characteristics of>$10 Stock Price>100K average volume>$2 billion market cap7%+ returnSimilar to previous weeks of late are a lot of foreign and gold names with a few natural gas mixed in - a few solar names rebounded from dramatic losses of the past 2 months; just a hodge podge of names.

128 Stock Returning >10% Last Week

Mon, 28 Jan 2008 07:46:06 GMT

Finally a Winners list with more than gold on it... it's been a while.As mentioned throughout the week, if you were very nimble this was the week to buy retail, homebuilders, and some financials. The most troubled, bounced the most this week (short covering definitely - real buying? who knows). In terms of fund holdings - it was coal and fertilizer week (along with Mercadolibre); again I lightened up on all these positions as they bounced so strongly. In this volatile of a market, it's the only prudent thing to do.Criteria (as always)>$2 Billion Market Cap>$10 Stock Price>100K daily trading VolumeGreen we own, Blue we have owned or discussed[More...]

Best Performing Stocks the past Month

Mon, 24 Dec 2007 17:29:48 GMT

Below is a list of the best performing stocks of the past month. I always like to look at these lists to see what the market is favoring, try to find some new ideas, and to see how stocks I favor do in the big scope of things.Since I focus mostly on mid caps and large caps I focused on market capitalizations of $2 billion or greater, trading at least 100,000 shares a day, and a price of at least $10. Using a minimum return of 12% for the past month, the list generated 179 names. Keep in mind the S&P 500 is up around 2.5% in that same time frame, and if not for Friday's big rally it would of been closer to 1.2%. I will highlight in green the fund holdings, and in blue stocks of interest to me (either considering to add to the fund, a stock that has been discussed a lot, or past holdings)<[More...]

Monday Mop-Up - Jul 31 2007 10:06AM

Tue, 31 Jul 2007 14:00:51 GMT

That was a pretty good day.Unlike last Monday, we had some pretty good overall strength in the markets, spurred on by GMAC beating low expectations with "only" a 63% drop in profits, driven by its Residential Capital unit "only" losing $254M this quarter, much improved from the $910M loss last quarter.The financial sector finally made a bit of a comeback, with the XLF recovering off a low open to finish
