I'm talking about a consensus of stocks everyone thinks could make a 5% (or more) movement over the next 7-14 days? The goal would be to move in. Hit a small goal and move out for another consensus stock.

Example:

Mosaic reports earnings on Friday and we all believe a good earnings report is coming out and expect a jump from $57.50 before earnings release.
(** This is in example and I am not endorsing Mosaic.)

Start with some small $ figure like $5K.

We can do it as a project for a few months (without real cash) to see if we can consistently see a 5% goal.

Anyone?

You've peaked my interests. Exactly what stocks, industries and sectors are you referring to other than the example?

Has any research been done on target companies (IE: stress tests, solvency, peer-to-peer, standard financial performance analysis)?

I've got three ideas.

#1. Whitewood-Young Industries...low P.E. Explosive earnings. 30% discount from book. Great cash flow. Coupla 5% holders. Strong management.

#2. Terafly...Analysts don't like it. I do. The breakup value is twice the market price. The deal finances itself. Sell off two divisions.

#3. Bluestar Airlines. A comer. 80 medium-body jets. 300 pilots, flies northeast, Canada, some Florida and Caribbean routes...great slots in major cities...There was a crash last year. They just got a favorable ruling on a lawsuit. Even the plaintiffs don't know...the decision'll clear the way for new planes and route contracts. There's only a small float out there, so you should grab it. Good for a five point pop.

You'll have too many Indian chiefs. Better limit the conversation to a select few or build a hierarchy IMO.

Great thread

I think this has a lot of potential. Much better than the Hottest Actress bracket on the OT or the Best 80s Action TV Series Challenge bracket on the Movie/TV board.

ok... I'll throw out some names real quick

1. IOC- in the process if drilling another well in their field in Papa New guinea(sp?). well was logged and has like 2300 ft of pay. Its down near its 52 week low and is rebounding.

2. LINE - it is a MLP that throws a good dividend and is also coming off of a low. Had a rough quarter but has done me well in the past.

3. KOG- another oil and gas independent. Very active in the Bakken and is expected to double their production in the next year.

Please Rate my stock picks. I mostly dabble in the energy sector as you can tell..

I'll follow this thread but may not be an active poster in it for now. The one to eye right now imo is BP. It's getting ready to move. Also LPX is at a peak right now. I've rode it twice and done 15%+ both times. I'll sell out before the end of the week. Look for it to contract in the near future and then spurt up again in a year or so.

Sounds like what I did in HS when we started a stock club. We created a 5k portfolio and tracked it all semester. Teacher gave the person who made the most a prize.
