Here is a picture of my charting setup. Pretty complex. But easy once you get used to it.

PRLB a BUY at $67.00

PRLB is one of the stocks that showed up on my new screen.  I checked out the financials and they look pretty good. Progressively better earnings, fantastic debt to asset ratio. The price has dropped considerably and is recovering into a BUY category right now at $67.00 it was up 1.38% today. Once again, please scroll down and read my disclaimer that is important to understand in this market's climate.

Also read and watch the video on  Motley Fool's article on PRLB he really likes it too. This was published late February, and the stock has come down from $80 when the article was written. So just think of it this way. If you would have bought with their remarkable recommendation then, you would have made a good long term investment. However, since you may just be hearing about it now, you gain an extra $13 on your investment. Yay, free money. Now is the time to BUY. 

What do you think of this new stock screen idea?

I just came up with a new stock screen. Top % earnings last three years and last five years. Mid cap. 1 Billion to 13 Billion. Low PEG ratio. Highest 20% book value. And finally lowest 40% from 50 day moving average. I call it "BeatUpNoReason". Well, there is always a reason. However if the earnings growth is improving each year and the debt to Asset ratio is low I think that it is worth a second look.
   The stocks that ended up in the list are: XPO, FNSR, TFM, PRLB, LL, RKT, ACIW, SBNY, MIDD, FFIV, CTRX, QCOR, HTWR, VRTS and EPAM.  A couple of those. FNSR, RKT, and QCOR I think are worth looking at in particular because they also ended up on some of my other screens. In particular RKT. I will keep you posted on the results and report when they hit the BUY signal. And most of these are ripe for that because of the last criteria "Lowest 40% from 50 day moving average" That means the stock will be down.
      This list is going to change fast because of that last criteria as well. I will update my watch list as that happens and some of these will still be on and some will drop off. It's going to take some time to keep up with this one as it will be changing so much. But I expect to keep it for three weeks to a month. I have to see the charts for a while to get an idea of how long to keep them on the list.

RKT soon to be a BUY at $103.00

Well, it's Friday and I will be away from my computer on Monday. As of now, if we get another up day on Monday or Tuesday, RKT looks like it will hit the BUY indicator. It's almost there now and anxious investors may get in. I've done that before, because you can see the trajectory of the movement and assume a continuation. Well, I have been burnt before. I've had them reverse just before they hit the buy signal. I vowed I would learn my lesson and wait until it is an absolute buy. I'm only saying this because it is getting close and to keep an eye out for a good move up. RKT is at $103.00 today up 1.16%
RKT is one of the largest makers of boxes. Everything comes in boxes. Whether it is bought at a brick and mortar building or online. Actually more if online because of the shipping as well. And we all know where commerce is going. I'm not 100% happy with the revenue growth and the dept to asset ratio is more than 50%. However, this stock keeps showing up in random stock screens that I use. It is usually floating around in the top 10% of several different stock screens which tells me there is something to look at here.

HCI is a SELL today at $35.98

Even though we did not get a pop on HCI from the buy recommendation, we must be disciplined to follow the chart's recommendation to sell. We want to reduce our chances of loosing more money and accept the fact that it may cost us a small amount to get out now.  Even though it indicates SELL, there will be another chance to buy it again. There always is. It is still a good company. It is still worth owning, when the time is right. HCI is at $35.98 today and indicating a SELL. Since this is my first SELL recommendation, I wanted to say that yes, we will be getting into and out of stocks on a regular basis. I've seen many many many charts confirm that with this discipline, we will lose a little hear and there but gain a lot here and there with the right buy signal. And it has proved to me that the gains then will be substantially greater than the losses.

Do you like 3D printing? DDD now a BUY

A good friend of mine was talking to me about these investment ideas and mentioned an interest in getting into the 3D printing boom. I am saying that, not to say there WILL be a boom but as he put it, wouldn't it have been nice to get in the ground floor of Apple or Google or "fill in the blank" with industries that have had amazing growth and impact on our daily life. 3D printing could be that industry now. So I looked up his favorite company to advise him on what the fundamentals and charts were saying now. BOOM! I was shocked. This was not on one of my stock screens nor watch lists. But I was surprised at the great balance sheet and then looking at the charts, I told him, Mark, it is BUY NOW! So I mentioned that I would include it in my blog as a recommendation for those of you who would like to get into something that may take off. Please keep in mind and read again my disclaimer posted below, what my feelings of investing now is.
DDD is currently trading at $59.34 up 1.33% today and it was up 2% yesterday, but still just into the BUY indication.

Sorry about that I missed CEO's buy signal a couple days ago

I've got a lot of stocks on the radar and CEO is one of those that I had not checked recently. Well the indicator shows that it was a buy a couple days ago. And it is up today, so I'm sorry about missing that good start to a move higher. It's a very pricey stock at $157.88 today but percents are percents. It doesn't matter what the price is. The balance sheet is good and it's got a nice 4.26% yield kicker to boot. There may be more room for upward movement, but act quickly if you want to take advantage of that. Maybe a dip today later would be good to get in.

BP showing a BUY today at $47.51

BP is a BUY today at $47.51 Seeking Alpha  has a good article to back me up. Once again please read my disclaimer prior to purchase. This is a very strong buy since the stock has been beat up so much lately.

CHL China Mobile Reaches BUY status at $44.66

If you are interested in an overseas stock that may not react the same as domestic here is a nice buy today. CHL is officially a BUY today coming off a long streak down for the year. In addition the 5% yield will help weather the investment if does tapper off some. It is one of my NASDAQ GURU picks. Comes with a lot of support from successful stock pickers.

MAJOR DISCLAIMER

The market is overall very pricey.  This means making money in this environment is not going to be so easy.  There are always entry points to individual stocks that have shown dips and climbs and lows and highs. All we are interested here is finding good solid companies, perhaps a nice yield, and a price that is indicting higher to buy or indicating lower to sell. When the general market is in an overall growth phase, buying on the dips usually always guarantees a further up potential. When the market is either at the general top or general bottom of a major move, prices will swing up and down on a near term basis. You can still make a few percent on your money within a week or two. I try to do that. But I am and suggest you should as well, be very mindful of the general market's high price. Once we are in a stock, I watch it very closely. Of course I've gotten in on a perceived good price. THAT good price on THAT individual stock isn't going to matter if the general market decides it's time for a major decline. That will take a high percent of the entire market with it. Once we are in a major decline I will not be purchasing any stocks. I will wait until there is a noticeable bottom and then start to get back in cautiously.  If I have purchased stocks with a good yield and happen to get caught in the down draft, I will have the yield to protect me from the fall of the stock. I prefer not to do that as giving up 10% on the price would still be a loss even though the yield is 8%. Not to mention that I would have to own that stock for an entire year to get that 8%. It is still a safety net and if there are good buys and good yields, I'll still consider that stock.
