Trading The IBD 100 -- Oct 2007

[brownsfan019]

Just curious dog - are these picks printed on the free portion of the site or the pay for use portion? I'm trying to construct a way to screen for stocks and IBD may be a good place to start. What are your thoughts on the IBD? Been awhile since I picked one up.

hi browns,

I think we are in a momentum-type of market these days --- can see growth stocks (tech/medical) strongly outperforming value stocks (primarily financials and assorted consumer stocks). Thus, this is good time to focus on IBD type of momo-names.

IBD has nice list of ideas. The Saturday edition of IBD prints the IBD 100 and within that they put bold-faced boxes around the names with some kind of base-structure. I have listed those here. I don't like playing base breakouts unless it is accompanied by a momentum push up and a pullback.

I think IBD is a useful paper. but I don't even subscribe anymore. I pick it up once in a while during the week and usually get the Saturday edition to check out the IBD 100.
