Harbin Electric (HRBN) – 10-06-2009 by Lamdar on Oct 7, 2009I remember looking at HRBN a couple years ago when it was around $20.  Since then it hit $28, dropped down to $4.25, and bounced back to almost $20 again.  A nice little breakout today bumps this one back up towards the top of my watchlist.

Iconix Brand Group (ICON) – 09-23-2009 by Lamdar on Sep 23, 2009As you can see, I’ve been lazy lately and haven’t ventured much beyond the IBD list.  Iconix is a company pretty much everyone has heard of before.  If you haven’t heard of them, you definitely know some of the brands they own, like C...

Interactive Intelligence (ININ) – 09-18-2009 by Lamdar on Sep 20, 2009ININ is an IBD stock with a nice chart.  That makes it nice for swing/day trading, and a potential long term stock — although the fact that we’re on the fourth base makes it an iffy long term play now.

Orion Marine Group (ORN) – 09-18-2009 by Lamdar on Sep 20, 2009ORN is another IBD stock with a nice chart.  The sharp bounces off $20 make a solid base, and can also be something to trade off of.

Ulta Salon Cosmetics & Fragrance (ULTA) – 09-04-2009 by Lamdar on Sep 7, 2009I’m not exactly the target audience for Ulta, but I have a girlfriend who is.  Seeing some excitement over a store isn’t exactly a reason to buy a stock, but it’s a Peter Lynch start.  Their growth looks pretty solid so far, but their...

Pactiv Corp (PTV) – 07-23-2009 by Lamdar on Jul 24, 2009Solid earnings, increasing institutional support, and a knockout chart make Pactiv interesting.  I can’t say I know anything about the food services/packaging industry though or whether or not having that much debt is a normal thing.  Thi...

STEC (STEC) – 06-23-2009 by Lamdar on Jun 24, 2009STEC is a hot tech company that makes solid state drives.  You definitely want to avoid this if you’re not an active trader, but it looks like it will have some nice swings to the upside and downside in the near future.  A fairly strong c...

Starent Networks (STAR) – 04-27-2009 by Lamdar on Apr 28, 2009STAR, one of the current IBD allstars, is doing pretty well with a breakout over its 52 week high.  I would consider swing trading this long if it dips back down to the breakout point and the timing coincides with the swings in the general marke...

Aeropostale (ARO) – 04-24-2009 by Lamdar on Apr 25, 2009Aeropostale, yet another oldie that has come back on the scene.  Somehow their numbers have continued to grow, but I’ll have to admit that I’m out of their target audience so I have no personal anecdotal data to give about them.  The st...

Hansen Natural Corp (HANS) – 04-23-2009 by Lamdar on Apr 24, 2009Hansen probably needs no introduction for anyone that’s followed stocks for a few years.  If you haven’t heard of them, HANS is a typical growth stock if you look at the chart from 2004 through 2006.  This is another one I’m accused o...
