Several brokers in my office have been accumulating LHSPF from as low as the 50s. For the past week I have been congratulating them on a win, while encouraging them to take some profits on the cheaper stock at least. Get the clients diversified as in many cases this is their principal or only holding. The pattern for yesterday and today was similiar, open strong and roar to a new high on heavy volume, then back away. Today I really pressured him to unload some around 89, but he wouldn't listen. By the time the stock was down over $13 for the day, he could do little more than wander around the office muttering to himself. THQI also presented an interesting example of what happens when a client or broker "chases" a stock. One client with an existing position in THQI entered a mkt buy for 300 more shares. When he gave the broker the order the stock was over 26. He filled at 25.625, not a good sign for a stock down sharply, at least in timing. He also entered a stop loss at 25 for the entire position. Later changed this to 24 after finding out he filled lower. Ended up being stopped out at 25. Same day trade - 1.625 loss plus commission on 300 shares. Don't now how he ended up on the rest.

Don't know what their price target was, but if it was met and I was the analyst, I would likely have encouraged my clients to dump as well. RS not that good, stock not in top five, looks like it might already have been rolling over, earnings growth poor and well under the five year record, etc. Truth is, private mortgage banking is slowly dying. Growth will be difficult and more competitive, thus more expensive. Brenda (aka whatever recipe club name he is hiding behind to disguise the fact he is an unlicensed, unregistered financial advisor) can complain all he wants, but the reality is that there is a big difference between someone trading stocks on technical chart patterns and an analyst doing an in depth research into a company and its industry. As to suing a broker dealer for bad analysis, sure you can if you can prove your facts that they were putting out false info to manipulate the stock. But before you talk to a lawyer, would suggest you do some research into the industry group and read the MS report on this company.

I do note that in the last three qtrs it had non-recurring events financially. In Q4 it was a charge, don't know about the other two qtrs. If all three were charges, and it still showed a profit operationally, then would suspect the company was finally profitable enough to start taking some writeoffs it should have taken sooner (or now had to take since it was consistently profitable). Thus it could well be poised for earnings growth better than the 10% being forecasted. The red flags set off by these non-recurring events, however, would definitely set off my fundamental personality, and I would want to do some homework on it.

Might be a first "shot across our bows", but I don't think so, at least not yet. All the internet related stocks (providers, equipment vendors, etc) have been rallying strong on the price cuts by PC mfrs since the expectation is that this means even more PCs in homes, thus more internet activity. A lot of them got way ahead of themselves, and almost all of them had huge profits on a real short term basis. When that happens, everyone tends to get greedy, and no one runs for the doorway to take profits until they are forced to. Consequently, when the mass stampede happens, they can't all fit thru the door at one time, the floor specialists and market makers drop the bid on next to no volume, they panic out, the specialists/MM take in inventory, and when the panic selling is over, move the mkt back up and take a handsome profit for a few hours of holding inventory. Keep in mind that the internet related group pricing was being driven almost entirely by speculation. Most of the cos have yet to achieve profitability, and those few that have done so are mostly trading at very high multiples. So, when the speculative fever takes a vacation, most holders get scared and will sell at any price. Good example of the benefits of setting your own price target, then selling pieces into strength.

The EPS ranking is a proprietary formula which calculates the percentage change in the last two qtrs earnings vs the prior year, as well as the 5 year growth rate and earnings stability. As I understand it, more weight is given the two most recent qtrs than to the 5 year record. This is why one bad qtr can seriously change the EPS nr.

SONC generally looks decent on both the chart and CS elements. The only serious flaw I see is that the five year earnings growth exceeds the estimated growth for the current year. ARSC (the landmine) shows 56% earnings growth for the past five years, three of the last 4 qtrs show year to year growth of 100% or more, the fourth of 78%. Yet the forecast for this year is growth of only 13%. In my experience, investors get used to year to year growth of 100% and are rarely able to adjust to reality that you can't keep this up forever. If the next report coming up only shows a 13% or so gain, I suspect the stock will tank. Add to this that the trailing PE is 51, and you have the recipe for a disaster as a new buy idea.
