Interesting individual stocks

[Bullitt]

BAC as a LOOONNNGGG term hold, yes I'd buy it for the 4.5% Divvy. Right now I don't see much upside in any financial companies. I'd wait a while before heading into any bank stocks. Even if there isn't any further fallout from the subslime mess, fear is going to continue to crush these stocks. Buy into fear, I like that.

Support at 48 for BAC.

BAC is getting support after dropping 2% off the subprime fears day before earnings. Might be worth buying.

I'm starting to like SWHC more than ever.

Breakout today in SWHC on huge volume.

I'm starting to like SWHC more than ever. Reported a blowout quarter and better yet, improved forward guidance. Company is introducing a new line of shotguns and rifles that should positively impact sales forward. 25% growth next 5 years, featured positively in Barrons last month, PEG under 1. Blasted past it's pivot price of around $15.50 on high volume. There's a short squeeze in progress and should be ending soon, then it's time to get long.

In hindsight, excellent analysis. $57.50 at time of original post, $74 at close today. Hope you are still raking it in. I think this is one of those companies that is misunderstood by the analysts.

My contribution of the day-

Take a look at CRDN. Ceradyne Corp is a maker of ceramic body armor plates. And they work pretty darn good.

What is notable: What is interesting is that Ceradyne has expanded into other ceramic markets. Vehicle armor is the latest, but they also purchased their supplier of boron powder for making ceramics last year. And that has increased their bottom line. As has a recent purchase of a manufacturer of boron-lined aluminum containers for storing nuclear waste. Bottom line is that the company continues to grow at a fast rate, and margins are good.

Why consider investing here: Future is bright for continued armor growth, and continued non-military diversification.
