Commentary

BUY: CHIPOTLE MEX GRILL (CMG) Rating: 3

Start Price:	$88.86
Points:	-5.41
Created:	11/13/2009

Management has been able to continue profit growth even in current recession. Very shareholder oriented as demonstrated by recently announced share buy back program.

BUY: NORDSTROM INC (JWN) Rating: 3

Start Price:	$33.99
Points:	+0.07
Created:	11/13/2009

JWN has been moving up in a channel for the past 5 months. I picked the bottom of the channel as an entry point and got lucky today. Both MACD and stochastics indicate good timing for entry.

BUY: PATTERSON-UTI ENERGY INC. (PTEN) Rating: 4

Start Price:	$15.62
Points:	-8.97
Created:	10/27/2009

PTEN is a contract driller poised to benefit from rising oil prices. Fundamentally: no long term debt, total liabilities covered by current assets, and book value greater than share price.

BUY: ISHARES S&P LAT AM40 (ILF) Rating: 3

Start Price:	$42.38
Points:	+6.15
Created:	10/27/2009

ILF recently broke above its 500 day MA and is up 36% in the last 4 months. The reason? Weaker dollar and improving prospects for the metals and oil that South America exports.

BUY: LEGG MASON INC (LM) Rating: 1

Start Price:	$30.71
Points:	-3.70
Created:	10/22/2009

LM has taken its write downs and reorganized it business. Profits are up sharply and the decline in assets under management is nearly over. LM was recently featured in a Z video on mementum stocks. Today's (10/22/09) price decline gives an excellent entry point for a longer term investment.

BUY: BRONCO DRILLING COMPANY INC. (BRNC) Rating: 3

Start Price:	$8.43
Points:	-31.05
Created:	10/22/2009

BRNC has doubled in price since the beginning of September. It has a strong balance sheet and is still selling below book value.

BUY: ISHARES SILVER TRUST (SLV) Rating: 3

Start Price:	$17.36
Points:	+4.03
Created:	10/21/2009

Just added to my subportfolio of precious metal stocks. My macroeconomic assumptions about the future include a weaker dollar, high inflation and a bear phase in the stock market. I'm betting precious metals will stand up well in that environment.

BUY: ROYAL GOLD INC. (RGLD) Rating: 3

Start Price:	$47.48
Points:	+10.58
Created:	10/21/2009

Just added as a part of my precious metals subportfolio. A different way to play gold, other than the physical metal or miners. This is a company based on royalties from miners. Should provide portfolio protection during the upcoming braoder market correction.

BUY: WORLD FUEL SVCS CP (INT) Rating: 3

Start Price:	$47.40
Points:	+8.90
Created:	09/24/2009

To bring some balance and stability to my small cap portfolio I went looking for a company with solid fundamentals - good earnings growth and a safe dividend, even if small.
