(WH)at the Heck?

My portfolio had another terrfic day on Friday (up 1.9%) and ended up 5.1% on the week. We're now up 65% YTD and 134% from my November low. The portfolio is now only 9.5% below breakeven. Here is my 3+ year graph:


On Friday I had FSUMF fall back a bit as perhaps the rumors of a pending takeover were a bit premature. But WH, my Chinese oil & gas tube maker shot up about 25% and CDII was up 20%. I never used to get stocks with those sorts of moves. I don't really know why either one shot up. It seems WH was written up in a newsletter, but I don't know if that was the sole reason... 25% seems pretty strong. CDII is pretty tied to the price of Magnesium, so perhaps something is going on there.

My mechanical portfolios added some new stocks this weekend. The top 30 portfolio added VM and ONTY. I like VM, I added it last week to my portfolio. ONTY is a company that doesn't seem to belong. But some of the others like it (such as QLTI) have done well. Here is the top 30 list, it is up over 13% and is beating the benchmark by over 20 points! I don't know about any one else, but I am becoming a believer have begun regularly buying stocks new to my list (I had/have bought PFE, VM, AHCI, CKSW, RST, DBTK, DELL, FRX, UTA and SOLR when they came in my portfolios and it has worked out pretty well.
