Valentine's Day Top 5

[mrmarket]

I will buy one of these tomorrow:

ASCA ESCA RGF STC WCI

I still haven't made up my mind yet. Which one do YOU like....and why?

[billyjoe]

ESCA low volume too small

RGF weak group

STC too extended in price

WCI another builder, train has left station

ASCA just about right

my 2 cents

for the business, I like STC (bought this one before, but like a dumbass sold it 2 months later for a $1 loss)

for the charts, I like RGF and ESCA- they both say "BUY ME!"

[tokyojoeskid]

yea

Im going with ESCA for my top draft pick,

with a tie for number 2 pick between RGF and STC

When Willie Sutton was asked why he robbed banks, he replied "Because that's where the money's at". As the economy improves, banks will once again rise. I like RGF.

I like ESCA RGF and STC

RGF looks extended now - in the absence of something going on inside this company, we may be able to buy it cheaper in a couple of weeks

ESCA - is so thinly traded. If we all agreed to buy only a couple of shares, this would be all right, outwise our group could move it a couple of points easily.

I liked STC when it appeared on 1/2/2004 and 1/9 at 41.20 and 41.58 respectively.

I really think we should buy some more HAR here.

RGF

RGF would look the best to me.

I have had STC before and sold for +5% in order to buy another stock.

Most likely won't buy any of these 5 this time...I have to take some money out to buy another Harley for summer fun!!!

STC

I still like "Sycophants Take Cash" [STC] and think we all should have "milked" it starting with the 13 Jan data dump.

With a P/E under 6 and a PEG under 1, how can anyone say it is overextended?

I bet its going to be STC

Insurance company STC is my pick. IBD EPS rating is 97, a 3-year growth rate of 30%, ROE of 21% and SMR rating an A. PE is 6, that's even lower than CFC. Debt is a measly 1%. More funds are buying into STC each quarter, lots of institutions are buying shares and the quality of those institutions gets an IBD sponsorship rating of B.

The negative to buying this stock is its low group RS rating, but does Mr. Market really want to buy another homebuilder like WCI, another sporting goods store like ESCA or another bank like RGF. He may want to gamble on a casino like ASCA, but its debt is 376% and its earnings are increasing while its shares are decreasing. Mmm, no wonder why it gets a dismal D+ in IBD's accumulation rating.

Hi Ernie,
I like RGF and ASCA because:

RGF-money flo inc trend, acc/dist inc,macd diverging,rsi inc trend
ASCA-money flo inc trend,acc/dist inc, macd crossing to diverging,rsi inc

Do not like the other three because:
ESCA- too thinly traded for me, money flo decreasing,acc/dist flat and starting down
STC-money flo decreasing,acc/dist decreasing, rsi decreasing, macd diverging
WCI- money flow decreasing,acc/dist starting down,rsi decreasing,macd diverging

Awaiting your decision
