Trading Thoughts for July 17th by Nick at Ambitions as a Stock Trader

Submitted by My Ambitions as a Trader and Investor
Hey guys,

I've been a little busy so I haven't had a chance to comment on today's market and stock action. For one, I am happy with ARTW's performance. It is important to note that opportunities such as these are abundant during earnings season. To maximize your profit potential, look for stocks that have a low float (less than 10 mil, less than 6 even better), and with strong earnings results (earnings increases of 50% are good, but look for those that post 100% or better). For instance, ARTW posted a 250% earnings increase. This is a substantial amount and it can help fuel the momentum that will send this stock higher.

Some other stocks that did well today included: RZ, CEDC, VSR

Earning Pick for Tomorrow: QEPC, a low float stock mentioned in my earnings watch for this week is already locked and loaded for a stunning morning rush. The stock is already up big after hours which will make entry difficult for anyone who hasn't already bought in.

Earnings Watch Submitted by Nick at Ambitions as a Stock Trader

Submitted by My Ambitions as a Trader and Investor

Here are several stocks that one should keep an eye on for this week. They are reporting earnings and may report an earnings surprise. If you are feeling lucky, jump in early. If you are feeling sensible, then wait until earnings are announced and then jump in and ride the stock up. I was able to jump into PENX and RBN after earnings were announced and even so, I was still able to make a nice return.

The stocks: BNSO, FORR, ARTW, CPSS, CSX, CCK, FELE, MTOX, CHIP, CAVM, DST, NVEC, PKG, QEPC, SMIT, SLGN, TRNS, VMI, ALDN, AME, KNX, AVCI, BMI, BZC?, FNSR, IIIN, ISIG, INSW, LSTR, LCCI, MATW, NETC, UTMD, NAFC, PTEC, ACO, SCHL, ALY, ACU, DSWL, GAP, IUSA, KCI, LINE, SMXC, RIMG, ORB, OMCL, NICH

Some of these are low market cap and low float stocks. These tend to be really volatile, so watch your entry. Also note that I have not listed all the stocks that are reporting. I simply listed the stocks that I am planning on keeping an eye on. I am not very intrested in any large caps, blue chip or household name stocks that may be reporting. I like to go for the ones that very few people talk about or even know about. That's just my style. For a more comprehensive list of earnings releasing stocks (including blue chips and household names), check out Bloomberg, Market Watch or Yahoo Finance...
