Swimming Against the May Tide

You would never know the month of May was one of the worst since 1962 if you were holding these 'Teflon' stocks. The % performance for each is for May only. The first four months of the year weren't so bad either.

FORD, Forward Ind., Textiles, 62.7%
SPRD, Spreadtrum Comm., Elect Semicond., 50.8%
AKRX, Akorn Inc., Medical, 45.2%
UPI, Uroplasty Inc., Medical (Dental Supply), 37.4%
LCC, U.S. Airway, Airline, 34.5%
TPCG, TPC Group, Chemical Specialty, 27.9%
CVGI, Comm. Vehicle Group, Auto Truck Parts, 25.1%
HYC, Hypercom Corp., Integ. Systems, 20.2%
ALK, Alaska Air Group, Airline, 18.9%
INTT, Intest Corp., Electr Meas., 15.9%

These are lower priced stocks and the volumes are a little light for some, but overall they are very tradeable if you tend to buy on the dip or doji.
