StockXpo’s SkyRocket Strategy

If you’re following us, you might already be aware that in this strategy we try to find the stocks which have a strong fundamental track record and have strong buy or buy ratings from top analyst firms. Moreover, these stocks break through their 8 week high and even 52 week high, so with their strong fundamental track record, there is a good potential for these stocks to go even higher.

For this week, here are our picks $CONN, $COHR and $USAK. Please note that – compared to last week, we have removed $CCS.

StockXpo’s – ValueGrowth Strategy

As you know, this is more like Buffett’s Value Strategy, but our stock picking criteria is to pick the top 3 out of such value stocks.
