'Future Stars' Stock Picking Wish List

“It is one of the great paradoxes of the stock market that what seems too high usually goes higher and what seems too low usually goes lower.”

~ William O’Neil


How many times have you looked at a stock chart and said, "I wish I had bought THAT six months ago." As the market continues to climb, I usually find myself on the other side of the jungle. You know, the side that has all the cheap shares, and runs close to the OTC border.

Some day someone is going to erect a big wall and hire border guards to keep those varmints from coloring the trading landscape, but until that day comes...

If the market goes higher you can be sure that many of these low priced stocks will rise with gains that far exceed the indices, and could become some of the more respectable high fliers that everyone wishes they had not overlooked earlier, especially when they graduate over $5/share.

Here is a small selection of stocks that currently trade over $1 but less than $5, gained more that 50% over the last 50 days, and have healthy average volume of over 500k.

That 4 star THLD pick is a favorite because of the good luck I have had recently with similar chart patterns. Just because the price spiked a few times in the past doesn't mean that it will happen again, of course, but on the other hand I'll bet the sun rises in the east again tomorrow.

Seems pointless, but I'll mention that if the market reverses course, these same stocks will fall faster than a drunken monkey in stilettos.
