New High Stock Picks

31 August 2004

After posting the article today on picking stocks from the new 52 week highs list, I set off to find a few stocks that met the requirements. The plan is to check back in a month or so and then again at about options expiration in October.

Using the formula for new high stock picks, I quickly came up with the stocks listed below. Note that two of the stocks share price is greater than 10% above the price at their last earnings report and one is actually 2.8% less than when they last reported earnings. All stocks are very near their all-time highs. One of the stocks, BLKB is a recent IPO with one earnings report under its belt. Also, AMWD announced a 2:1 stock split today.
