New Mechanical Stocks -May 7th 2010

With volatile markets comes new stocks to the mechanical portfolios. 4 new ones this weekend. To the top 30 list, VPHM comes aboard... an old friend. VPHM has been on and off the lists as long as I have been involved with MFI.

On the top 50 list, three new ones: GXDX, IPXL and SOHU. All three of these are interesting candidates for new money. I already own GXDX (it was crushed 24% on Friday... a bit unfairly IMHO). IPXL for some reason had huge earnings in 2010, and do not expect to repeat on 2011. But they are in the Generic business, which I think in today's world is a good space to be. I will certainly consider them. Then SOHU is a Chinese gaming company. They look dirt cheap as they have a ton of cash and are expecting growth. I feel a bit over-exposed to China right now, so I will likely lean to IPXL. I do intend to sell HCKT tomorrow.

I was really disappointed with QCOR on Friday. I didn't quite understand it, they got approved to roll out their drug to infants, which should increase revenues... but the stock tanked after being up 6% in pre-trading.

Here are my current overall holdings:
