Good morning everyone! I am still wrestling with my next stock purchase. I do have an order out on ASEI, so if Monday is a bad day in the stock market, it could be stock #30. What caught my eye on ASEI last week (Thursday) was that they had signed some new contracts with the Govt. The stock is trading (unfairly I believe) at about 16% below their 200 day EMA. Here is an article on new recent contracts (Big Contracts in the Pipeline for ASEI ).The second stock which caught my eye over the weekend was BLDR. It is a Dallas company (I have a few of those with TGIS & MTEX) that sells supplies to the homebuilding industry. I know homebuilding has been in a steep decline, but that seems (to me) to be built in the price. BLDR is selling at under 6x next year's earnings. Cramer has become bullish on housing (Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: You Can Go Home Again). I don't listen to Cramer and his speculative plays, but I do believe he is pretty good at calling longer term trends.
I like both of these stocks. It is possible that I will buy both of them.
