- 7/7/2008The computer-graphics specialist is being beaten down and taking my portfolio with it. But I'm buying more. Here's why.
- 7/3/2008I'm covering my short positions in Circuit City and Blockbuster. As I predicted Monday, the acquisition failed to materialize.
- 6/30/2008Sure, the economy is taking a bite. But Circuit City is still doing much worse than its competition. I'll short it as well as Blockbuster, which is considering a takeover of this electronic dog.
- 6/20/2008When the market turns rough, it's more important than ever to keep your eyes on the prize. For me, it's retirement – and a few extra percentage points will make a big difference.
- 6/10/2008Hurco, which makes computerized tools, has taken a pounding in these uncertain times. That and its five-star rating make it more attractive.
- 5/20/2008So far, the portfolio I've based on the CAPS reader rating system has done well. So I'll add another five-star name: Titanium Metals.
- 5/1/2008After a little research I've concluded that Nvidia merits its five-star rating. I'm adding it to my portfolio along with Woodward Governor, another highly rated pick.
- 4/18/2008I'm closing a short position for a nice gain and holding on to Lufkin, an even bigger winner. These are the sorts of stocks the CAPS stock-rating system can help you find -- and take advantage of.

- 3/10/2008Shares of Cemex are down, but this century-old company is far from out. It gets a perfect five-star rating in our CAPS system.
- 2/27/2008Gaiam has capitalized on the trend toward a cleaner, healthier lifestyle, but its stock gets just one of five stars in our CAPS rating system. That means many investors think the run won't last. I agree
- 2/12/2008Despite recent losses, I believe my overall strategy is a winner. I'm selling my shares in a Vanguard ETF -- I'm just not familiar enough with foreign markets -- and buying Covance, highly rated by CAPS players.
- 1/29/2008Who knows what the market is going to do, so I'm starting off fully invested with a wide range of ETFs and one CAPS favorite.
