  • 10 Breakout Stocks on my Watch List 0 comments
    Jun 3, 2009 02:08 AM | about stocks: SPY, DIA, CCO, COMS, LLNW, PEET, VITA, BNCL, CVGW, ARQL, CHTP, ARST, QQQQ, V, CAT, RIMM, PALM, GOOG, BAC, SIRI

    Here is an updated list of 10 stocks I'll be looking to trade as of market open June 3, 2009. These are the current highest bull/bear rated stocks my screener has returned. Looks as if there’s no specific trend among these stocks this week; last week there was a trend among the commodities, especially mining and gold stocks, among the speculation of a U.S. credit downgrade. To get a detailed definition of the bull/bear components check my Bull/Bear Ratio Defined Blog post by clicking here.

    Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings (CCO) 16:2
    3COm (COMS) 14:0
    Limelight Networks (LLNW) 14:0
    Peet's Coffee & Tea (PEET) 14:0
    Orthovita (VITA) 14:0
    Beneficial Mutual Bancorp (BNCL) 14:1
    Calavo Growers (CVGW) (14:0)
    ArQule (ARQL) (13:0)
    Chelsea Therapeutics (CHTP) (13:0)
    ArcSight Inc (ARST) 13:0

    These are the top stocks and have not received as bullish ratings in the past few weeks. I would use extreme caution if planning to purchase any of these stocks and would do some extensive research before I jumped in any of them. These will certainly be on my watch list the next few trading days. I'll wait for a 7-10% pull back to purchase any of them and set a tight stop loss if I happen to purchase any of them. If I purchase any of them, I will be selling into strength.

    Current Bull/Bear Ratings for many of the stocks I blog about frequently (up from date is referring to the last article I wrote similar to this on May 26, 2009):

    Visa (V) 8:2 up from 7:3
    Caterpillar (CAT) 7:3 up from 3:9
    Research in Motion (RIMM) 10:0 up from 6:4
    Palm (PALM) 13:0 up from 3:9
    Google (GOOG) 10:0 up from 7:5
    Bank of America (BAC) 7:4 up from 6:5
    Sirius Satellite Radio (SIRI) 1:10 up from 1:11

    For those in the first list I will be looking to purchase call options on some of them (some do not have options).
