Thursday Picks
At end of day 7/23/2009:
There are many stocks to pick in this rally after a recent pullback. So, how does one go about picking stocks when so many are potentially doing well? I'd suggest picking stocks with unusually high volume when compared to their historical performance if the stocks are near an all time low. This is a strong sign of buying and of gaining interest in the company. Be wary of buying stocks at a high during a pull back rally, that is a strong sign the stock is over bought and due for a correction to the down side. Remember, for every buyer there is a seller and one of them is wrong!
