BUY: FIRST CASH FINANCIAL SERVICES INC. (FCFS) Rating: 4
Start Price: $43.13
Points: -13.05
Created: 08/04/2011
Pawn brokers may have the best business model right now. Rapidly increasing demand for their secured "loans" drives down the price of their merchandise supply, while even junk gold and silver they can't sell from the glass case inflates rapidly in price.

BUY: WALTER INDS INC (WLT) Rating: 3
Start Price: $110.48
Points: -40.65
Created: 08/03/2011
A gamble here that they'll beat these huge earnings estimates and move higher. Also catching a falling knife hoping the energy sell off is about done. They have huge margins, very low forward estimated PE, and are rumored to be undervalued and therefore take over target.

Everyone needs to take a flyer, er, a sailer, on something. Drilling business could rescue the weak shipping margins here.

Expecting continuing good run with growing shale fracturing plays. Good news here, with all the "noise" about polution, these ceramic particles don't polute.

BUY: COINSTAR INC. (CSTR) Rating: 4
Start Price: $47.78
Points: +12.99
Created: 06/18/2011
TA wise - seems to be holding at support from
April. Stock not expensive on forward pe basis
while fundamentals and growth are good and
market value is way off prior highs.
Simple business a la Peter Lynch,
I suspect that anything done, market wise, to the uber
extreme isn't likely to end well - reference momentum
plays - and this stock is said to be the 2nd heaviest shorted
among top 1500 S&P stocks. Fundamentally, other
than just market itself, I don't see this as a smart short

BUY: GETTY RLTY HLDG CO (GTY)
Start Price: $25.95
Points: -7.46
Created: 06/18/2011
Adding some fairly secure income to
portfolio in these tough times. Stock
corrected - hopefully overcorrected -
a few months back - seems decent entry
point now as stock is in an uptrend.

BUY: CATERPILLAR INC (CAT) Rating: 3
Start Price: $95.95
Points: +12.09
Created: 06/18/2011
A move to a blue, blue chip, with decent
divdends with hope the BUCY addition will push
earnings and market price upwards.
Now if they'd just leave the Illinois politicians
and taxes behind and come to Texas
where they are growing, it would be perfect!
Decided it's a good buy point - 20% off prior
high - but economy's effect on market may
torpedo best of plans.

BUY: BRIGHAM EXPLORATION COMPANY (BEXP) Rating: 3
Start Price: $29.36
Points: +21.43
Created: 06/01/2011
Fundamentals actually look pretty good using forward earnings estimates. Buying to add a Bakken Shale play - already own companies in Eagle Ford Shale - as these two seem more intensive on the oil side of shale plays. Bit of a gamble here on future results for this smaller operator - but price has corrected nearly 20% - buying on dip today.

BUY: CIMAREX ENERGY CO (XEC) Rating: 2

Points: -30.20
Created: 06/01/2011
Sold stock earlier to take gain when I thought it ran ahead of value. Has corrected 20% off 52 week high - now among the lesser expensive e&p NG stocks. Appears small downside when looking at current fundamentals for both the stock and NG in general. Cheniere just got approval to export LNG and others may adopt German idea to shed nuclear power. Picken's rant continues to increase NG auto conversions gains more following, and a hot, dry summer is upon us, Zacks today reports quite substanti… More

BUY: MOSAIC COMPANY (THE) (MOS) Rating: 3
Start Price: $65.42
Points: -14.97
Created: 05/19/2011
Have watched ferts - perhaps a month
or so late to buy - but MOS appears
to have better fundamentals in this
sector which seems on upswing.
