I try to wait for some type of bottom to be put in, but I find that they usually don't last very long when they are undervalued.....Since my holding periods are usually much longer than that of HUMANA, I usually experience the consolidation stage before the stock starts to break out either one way or the other....I enjoy buying in the middle of the move...Heck most of my positions started in the middle, but in a market like we have just had over the last few months finding great stocks that have gotten cheap are hard to find and don't last long....HUMANA (HUM)was one that I felt could bounce a few day back....CAMECO (CCJ)was also a recent purchase and I let it be known on ET..... Lyodell (LYO) today was mentioned as a buy.... Exelon Corp (EXC) on MONDAY as a beaten down utility over TXU....(INTU) Intuit today during our earlier rant cought my eye....
