Bloated Pigs on Parade: Big, Fat and Happy


One can deal in Name-Calling.
One can deal in making money.
I prefer the latter.

Just because a stock is high-priced doesn't mean it's expensive. Actually it could be cheap.
Just because a high-priced stock is rising in an upturn doesn't mean it over-bought or ahead of itself or over-priced.

As one market media said “The market paused last week to scrape some of the bugs off its teeth after a 10-week sprint.”

I'm not going to sit on the fence. The stocks listed below are recommended as going higher in the next 3-6 months. They are Big (priced over $100 per share). They are Fat and Happy (growth stocks in a rising upward trend).

Based on this theme, here's the criteria for this list:
1) The stocks must be priced $100 or higher
2) The stocks must be growth stocks
3) The stocks must be in a up-trend upward mode
4) The stocks must have held their own in last week's overall market downturn (momentum)
5) The stocks must be in a strong sector
6) Not more than one stock can be listed per sector
7) The stocks should 'get it.' (That means they are well-managed, with defined future plan and with preferably a strong CEO).

In no particular order, these are five of the seven stocks I came up with:

Autozone (AZO) $250 (Auto Parts)
Chipotle (CMG) $234 (Eateries)
Apple (AAPL) $308 (Technology)
Baidu Inc. (BIDU) $110 (Internet)
Priceline.com (PCLN) $414 (Travel reservations)
