1. A Few Bulls In The Batch
By Alan Farley
11:36 a.m. EDT

Stocks with bullish patterns, despite the selloff:

  • 3Par (PAR)
  • McAfee (MFE)
  • American Italian Pasta (AIPC)
  • Tibco Software (TIBX)
  • Portfolio Recovery (PRAA)
  • Fuqi (FUQI)
  • General Mills (GIS)
  • Stec (STEC)

General Mills is leading a revitalized defensive group, with investors rotating capital into classic "recession-proof" sectors. Momentum might continue for a few more days but a better trade will come on a pullback into the mid 50s.

Long PAR, MFE.
