The 713 Top 5

[mrmarket]

Here are my five favorite stocks....I will buy one of these soon:

AFSI BITA NLS SWKS UVE

Which one do you like? and why??

I wouldn't be surprised if all 5 are 15% gainers, but for a #1 pick I'm looking at earnings, earnings projections, smoothness of price rise from left to right, strength of industry group and rank within the group. First of all eliminate NLS. It fails on several levels. The most steady charts of earnings and price ascension---SWKS with one glitch in the price chart. Strongest industry group and #1 ranking in the group---SWKS. UVE and AFSI rank #1 and #2 in the same group, but not as strong as SWKS. BITA ranks #1 in projected earnings but we aren't worrying about a year from now. Mr.Market wants cash now! It's SWKS...............maybe.

Also ditto on SWKS. Just got in (finally).

I like SWKS because of strong growth, no debt, and health financial standings.

SWKS is an AAPL play. e.g., http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/...0IQ2HT20141106
