88 Stocks Returning 10%+ this Week

TweetThis
The market was very strong this week, and one group of serious outperformerance was dry bulk shipping (which has been hot for a few weeks now) - this appears to be a play on the China earthquake; more supplies needed to rebuild combined with some loss of local production = more imported goods needed in China. It was a sunny (ahem) week for solar. Global infrastructure finally took off after lagging for months on end. And what can I say about coal that I have not been pounding the table about since September. It has been nice to see names not associated with coal, natural gas, oil, or fertilizer finally get their due in the past few weeks. We also saw some strength in "old school" technology, which has lagged seriously - I think this was driven by the Hewlett Packard (HPQ) acquisition of EDS (EDS).

Our criteria
  1. Market capitalization $1.75B+ (I've lowered this from $2B to try to find some slightly smaller fish in the sea)
  2. Average volume 100K+
  3. Stock price $10+
  4. Return this week 10%+
88 names made the list, we owned about 10% of them. As always green shaded names we own, and blue shaded we have owned in the past or discussed in the blog (note Shaw Group was sold this week - too early of course)

Mark,
what do you think about ACH. Looks like it is approaching to the apex of sym triangle. Ready to break up (or down) soon??? Could be a good play for earthquake recovery?

I owned it briefly. Just not my favorite way to play growth.

As for the earthquake rebuild; much of the damage was in smaller towns - not a major urban area so I think that angle is being blown up by the financial media and pundits a bit. Once they all get on a trade , it turns into conventional wisdom. I dont remember a sustained building boom in rebuilding when Katrina flattened New Orleans.
