The Silly Putty Top 5

[mrmarket]

I like these 5 stocks but I'm only going to by one....what's it gonna be?


CNTY JAZZ MANH UIHC XRS


Which one do you like...and why?

[Risky]

Jazz fits my expectations with good earnings & a p/e that fits.
HOWEVER,I'm hoping Mr. Successful, money maker will go with one of the others because I can
afford them! I love to gamble so cnty would be a fun play.

This is a hard dump. It should be called the Dulcolax Top 5. Everything tells me to pick JAZZ but it's shown some downturn lately so after mindmelting with Mr.Market and knowing he walks a slightly different path than most men, I say he'll pick MANH. MANH Ranks highest of the group with the Piotroski scale, Vectorgrader , Barchart, and Vectorvest. Also MANH has the smoothest upward trending chart. So I say MANH straight to +15%.

After looking at all 5 of the charts, MANH looks the best. I agree with billy. The general direction of the market will be the deciding factor as to when MANH will hit 16% (it was up $.46 after hours Friday).

Long time lurker and follower of $$MM$$ and a very recent member. Wanted to add my 1/2 cent to the discussion. BTW, thanks to $$MM$$ and all of you for this wonderful (and HUGELY profitable) format.

I have guessed correctly on $$$Mr Market's$$$ last 3 dumps but this Silly Putty dump is very different to me. Tough call. Personally, I'd go XRS for 15% but I am guessing His Hugeness sides Jazz or UIHC (for very different reasons). MANH just looks a little extended to me especially at 38x forward numbers.

MANH for its consistency. I was on board also with JAZZ but their recently released earnings report was not great. How about a Derek Jeter NY tie-in for Ernie's writeup of Manhattan Associates?

Still stickin' UIHC. Time to make some money. Tell 'em Ernie.
