Running a quick screen on finviz.com I came up with a list of just under 50 of the hottest stocks in terms of performance. I pulled out 4 names at the bottom of the list which are takeover candidates. Here are the criteria:
Some interesting results showed up - some of the normal candidates (high beta generals), and some old names from the portfolio. (I highlighted those in blue) Chinese solar stocks seem to be back en vogue as well; I did not even recognize JinkoSolar (JKS) as it's been a while since I've bothered to look at the space. Names I've been debating on and off in terms of adding to the portfolio the past few months are Fossil (FOSL), MBIA (MBI) [seriously], and NetSuite (N) [yet another 'cloud' play]. Somehow LogmeIn (LOGM) is still on this list. [Jun 17, 2010: Best Chart of a Stock You Never Heard of]
If this were 2006 this is where I'd say, if tomorrow's job report pleases the market, these are the names you'd want to focus on in terms of best relative strength, but in the current era where all stocks are the same stock - just buy anything I suppose.
