59 Stocks Returning 9%+ this Week

This week's list of top performers marks a return of some of our holdings, but mostly because they were disemboweled so cleanly over the past few weeks/month - many are simply bouncing to where they were a few weeks ago. I continue to not see any clear trend in terms of sector - it is sort of a hodge podge, but quite a few "broken" stocks are bouncing.

Criteria

1. Market capitalization $1.75B+
2. Average trading volume 100K+
3. Stock price $10+
4. Return this week 9%+

Green names we own, blue names we have owned in the past or discussed in the blog. ImClone (IMCL) (Martha Stewart fame for those who remember) was a takeover candidate. Wachovia (WB) is making an impressive run here and is now challenging its 50 day moving average - it did poke through Friday. Ever since new CEO Bob Steel took over, the stock has been on a run - imagine that, another ex Goldman Sachs (GS) employee filtering through the upper portion of our financial/political system ;) As we mentioned AK Steel (AKS) had a buyout rumor, and Alpha Natural Resources (ANR) had a second rumored buyout suitor. I've been debating adding Priceline.com (PCLN) on and off for many months now as it seems to be thriving as the "Walmart" of online travel, and last quarter's earnings really impressed me. They report again this upcoming week. After looking as if it would break down technically, one of the "pooring of America" retailers, Big Lots (BIG) made a satisfying move upward to regain a nice trajectory on its chart.
