As of 4:15 PM, the BUY filter identified LINC, BGS, and MANT
Having posted on LINC and BGS already this week, here is a little blurb on ManTech (MANT), posted this morning before the stock dropped ...
"MANT - ManTech is a cyber-warfare specialist, providing services to U.S. government agencies.
The numbers: Second-quarter net income grew 30% to $29 million and earnings per share jumped 29% to 80 cents, restrained by a higher share count. ManTech's gross margin rose from 16% to 18% and its operating margin increased from 8% to 9%. A quick ratio of 1.8 indicates ample liquidity. The company holds minimal debt.
The stock: ManTech has fallen 3% this year, underperforming major U.S. indices. The stock trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 19, a discount to the market and tech consulting peers. The company doesn't pay dividends. "
IBD Rating: 93
BGS should stabilize at 8.00 after dropping again today - not a surprise given the secondary offering. Good decision to hold off one day.
No SELL signals - ACOR actually came up at 3:45 PM, but dropped to just below the Upper BB by the end of trading. Keep an eye on it - it is currently up +14.37%. Will hit the upper BB sometime tomorrow, most likely.

Kevin - so how are you going to approach MANT? Buy first thing in the morning, in after hours right now, or wait

AH data shows MANT up 1.18 (+2.31%)! Darn.
AH data has BGS up 0.01 (0.13%).
LINC unchanged in AH.
MANT will be a buy for me at the open unless there is a big change in pre-market.
AH may be a buy limit at 8.00 - not sure yet.
LINC is a buy at the open unless there is pre-market data to the contrary.
If the market opens lower, that will also be a good thing.

Set up limit orders for LINC (in at 19.90 this morning) and MANT (in at 51.00 this morning). Have a limit order set for BGS at 8.00, which has not filled yet.
EDIT: Just filled the BGS order at 8.00.

As of 1:30 PM, OTEX is above the upper BB, thus giving a SELL signal.
At it's current price that would yield a profit of +7.85% after three weeks.
Yesterday, ACOR was above the upper BB until the last few minutes of the day, but then drew back to close just below the upper band. So we'll need to wait and see where this one ends up.

AMED just exploded, tripping the 20% profit stop at 43.03 (currently at 43.89 as of 3:50 PM). Not sure why, but it is up over 12% today.

I would rather have let it run a bit more, but I'm sticking to the system.
