I picked STC. I have been looking at it for a couple of weeks and seeing it on your list gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. Could be some cheese there in a few weeks!
Here are some of the IBD ratings that ought to be considered, along with the P/E ratios:
[code:1:edbb86ab7f] EPS RS Group SMR Acc/Dis
Rating Rating Rank Rating Rating P/E
AACE 72 90 72(B) C B+ 17
CACC 83 88 72(B) C A 29
FPIC 64 91 169(D-) D A+ 14
STC 96 76 169(D-) A A- 5
WHC 86 82 9(A+) B B 7[/code:1:edbb86ab7f]
Only CACC and WHC have EPS and Rel. Strength Ratings of 80 or better.
A quick review of the respective revenue and earnings growth of these five companies gives me the sense that WHC is the more stable of the lot. It is also very clearly in the strongest group. Stocks do tend to move in herds.
Mr. Market is HUGE!! He will pick WHC because it is huge! WHC just repurchased over half of their stock upon sale of a subsidiary. The revenues per share for WHC of $64.51 a share could make for some HUGE value appreciation here if net income margin is improved. Because WHC is huge like Mr. Market, Mr. Market will pick WHC.
I normally don't get time to check out the Top 5 before Ernie picks the winner, but this time I did, and I have to go with WHC. Low P/E, low P/EG, accelerated earnings growth over this past year...looks good all the way around. My second choice would be FPIC, which was in my personal Top 5 a month ago, but came in second to GI (which I bought and then sold yesterday!). Luckily I just sold, so I can get in on this one right when its picked! I am usually late to the party.
I like FPIC it has show up on several dumps. A- Rating and with 3 yr 6% return. Current price is $25. A bargin?
My choice is +++STC++++, why, A rating ans a three years return of 36%. Current price is $41.40, not cheap. Still it has potential to ZOOM. Its MACD is strong, and STO is 82, strong, this is my selection.
It looks like WHC is garnering a groundswell of support here.
I place my vote squarely on STC, again. This was the one I liked
on Jan 2. Don't know much about the Title Insurace business, though.
This one will hopefully be a quickie (15%) if the overall market co-operates.
