Lotsa Earnings

I will say that with a 40 stock portfolio, it is much more difficult to stay on top of earnings season. IDCC, GTLS, WTW, JCOM, GXDX, RGR all reported earnings recently. I felt GXDX and IDCC were pretty solid, but the market said, "ho-hum". Then I thought GTLS was poor, and they went up 13%.

So my advice is don't take my advice!

I did buy a new stock today (recall I am about 20% in cash). I went with a new one TNDM. Don't know much about them, but they look decent (Neutral Tandem: Oversold and Underpriced). I have not pulled the trigger on Odyssey yet... we'll see.

Weekend is coming up (hooray!). Got another monthly tracking portfolio coming of age and she looks like a doozy! We should have all taken every penny we could have laid our hands on a year ago and spread it across the top 50 over 100m! Up 92%!

Finally, here is the latest peek at the top 50 mechanical portfolio:
