Housing Booms, Mortgages Bloom

Vote the Cat! I will love you back! 

I am also open to endorse if assured of a post in the new administration.

As home builders rise, several mortgage service providers are rising with the financing tide.

OCN, NSM, and WAC.  All three outperformed in the summer, then pulled back in the November sell off.  They have  rebounded back toward previous highs, looking to consolidate and renew an uptrend.

CLGX is another strong real estate industry related stock to watch.

I started with CLGX in August; Watched gains fade last month, but am staying with the 100 day MA trend line.

Can a chart be as pretty as an expecting Kate Middleton?

It can, but first we need to wait for Highs to Get Low.

Buying a stock on the day of, or the day after a new 52 week high can often be a profitable momentum trade.  But absent a powerful multi-day rally the stock usually pulls back from the new high touching our stop loss point in price and frustration.

The frustration only worsens when we see the stock advance to additional new highs, reminding us we picked the right trade at the wrong time. Stocks at new highs with a recent history of meeting earnings with no nasty surprises and downward spikes, usually bode well for a long term strategy as they continue up their rising trend lines.  Finding them is easy; the key and hardest part is of course waiting for a new high to get low.

FISV, POL, EFX are 3 stocks (amongst many) which have performed well lately on pullbacks after a new high. The 50 day MA has proven a very good reference point for entry.

 

 

 

 

 

 

$AVG – Watching this Android provider for buy point (if it comes)

AVG Technologies provides anti-virus software for Android, browsers for iPhones and iPad and has recently signed an agreement with Google.  Revenue and EPS growth are exceptionally strong with estimates being raised, making valuation more than reasonable.

Add AVG to your daily watch and news list, expect it to move significantly higher into 2013 with strong earnings, revenues, and news reports over the following months.

The PPT as Your Coaches in the Booth

Like many of you, I came to this site through the insightful tweets of The Fly.  I was seeking clues on market direction and stock selection at minimal cost, make that no cost.  The Fly is generous in what he shares for free, but I then began to read of the references to “The PPT”.  The name sounded odd and we are all skeptical of paid stock services, but I would like to make the case for how “The PPT” stands out from other services as a database of actionable investment intelligence, like the coaches in the booth for you; the modern internet investor on the field.

What The PPT is not:  Unlike other paid services The PPT does not recommend you start a position, rather it allows you to select and screen positions based upon statistics, technicals, and fundamentals.

What The PPT does is tell you which stocks are having a good game and who is underperforming on the field.   The PPT is your coach in the booth.

Let’s show an example: We all like to catch the big turnaround, the stock that is well down from recent highs having built a nice base.  But how do we find them amongst 4500 charts? Answer PPT screens!  The following two stocks APKT & PLCM were picked from a screen using the criteria of stocks under accumulation, under the 200 day MA, while above the 20 and 50 MA.

How easy do you think finding these two stocks out of 4500 would be without an effective tool?  Not easy.  The PPT will key you into trends long before other methods of tweets, upgrades, downgrades or CNBC analysts.

There is so much, much, more to The PPT screen process and features that can only be experienced from within, including Fly’s daily analysis, which says more in 5 paragraphs than CNBC says in a day.  So if you continue wondering what The PPT is, or are tired of being late to the winners, give The PPT a try.  It has made me a more disciplined, better timed, and less emotional investor.  Take the field with confidence in this difficult market, let The PPT be your coach in the booth.

Sincerely, RepubliCat
