Top Rocket Stocks for Week of May 5
05/05/08 - 11:09 AM EDT
Another name to keep an eye on this week is Kaiser Aluminum KALU, which is slated to report first-quarter earnings Thursday. Kaiser has been handling increased commodity prices very well and is a huge play off the aerospace upgrade cycle. It handily beat Wall Street profit estimates when it reported fourth-quarter results in February. For more stock ideas -- including California Pizza Kitchen CPKI, NYSE Euronext NYX and Basic Energy Services BAS -- check out the Rocket Stocks for the Week of May 5-9 at Stockpickr.com. As always, to find the snapbacks and potential breakouts on a regular basis, check out these Stockpickr portfolios, which I use in my own research each week:
- Today's Hot List: This daily list is a must-view every midday to see what stocks are making the biggest moves and why.
- Always check the Biggest Percentage Losers, a list of stocks that lost big the day before, because they can snap back hard. When you check this list on Stockpickr, you can see which stocks are owned by the quality hedge funds and mutual funds. Pay attention to those. They will be buying at the lower prices, so you should be also.
- Ditto for the 52-week-low list. You must check the above two lists every day if you hope to find volatile stocks.
- Biotech Short Squeezes: Dendreon DNDN and others can often be found in this category.
- Stocks Rising on Unusual Volume: These are potential breakout stocks.
- Stockpickr's System Trades of the Day: These are trades triggering that day in various back tested trading systems we've developed.
- Stocks With Unusual Option Activity: Perhaps someone knows something?
- Latest Activist Situations: These are beaten-down stocks that hedge funds are accumulating shares of and demanding change in. Believe me, these hedge funds piggyback each other. And once they start rocking the boat, things happen quickly. This should be on your must-view list.
