I’m Sorry, Did You Say Turducken???

If we become increasingly humble about how little we know, we may be more eager to search. - Sir John Templeton

Humility about how little I know has encouraged me to listen more carefully and more wisely. - Sir John Templeton

As we begin week two, I realize this is a short week and people are probably more focused on turkey (or his cousin, the infamous Turducken), Black Friday and that one relative that drives everybody crazy and how you will survive. This week will consist of low volumes as most of Wall Street tends to extend their weekend in both directions.

There are people who will not be shopping on Friday and will make it into the office (including this person). So for those of you who are either dedicated or are trying to avoid the extra time with the in-laws, the first John Madden Turkducken Leg goes to you…

Roger Williams’ Hot Stocks Digest is a weekly report that recommends twenty small and mid-cap companies based on a quantitative computerized model. He also ranks the 100 hottest domestic stocks. As per Williams, each week’s picks are the best for the current market conditions. It is up to the investor to decide on an exit strategy. He does suggest “a 50% target and a 20% auto trailing stop.” Mining stocks are very popular this week. Which ones? Go take a look…

The Under the Radar newsletter written by Jeff Stone is a daily report that focuses on high beta stocks. The commentary is based on a combination of both quantitative and fundamental analysis. The 11/23/09 edition gives a quick synopsis of last week’s trading as well as indications for the upcoming one. It covers both domestic and foreign markets. They even throw in a speculative buy recommendation.

Eric Dany’s Stock Prospector is a monthly publication the finds under-valued companies that offer a substantial upside. Most of the companies found here are not covered by Wall Street analysis. The most recent release, entitled “All We Need Are Jobs!” focuses on the current domestic and foreign economies. He offers many stock picks for both core and non-core holdings and also offers a model portfolio to follow.

My five year old daughter is having surgery tomorrow to have her tonsils and adenoids removed and tubes put in her ears. While this is a simple and very common procedure, it is still my little girl…so while I don’t sleep tonight and wait all day tomorrow, I will be reading these three reports over again as well as a few others to help rebuild my retirement portfolio. Until tomorrow…
