What are the beaten down stocks...

"The sectors that have been beaten down the most over the last two months are energy and metals.

Since May the worst have been

Manufactured housing -33%
Long distance carriers -29.82%
building materials wholesale -26.78%
oil and gas -25%
aluminum -21.5%
semi-conductors -21.32%"

Im staying away from housing, I will put those with the airline stocks.

Long distance carriers I tend to stay away from. We are moving into a new world where voice over ip might take over the telephone system. The cable companies are offering phone service....

Oil and gas I will stay away from until oil gets down a little further.

Semis are my favorite. Yes, there is overcapacity right now or a "glut", but we all know that that situation will not last for long.
 
Quote from HolyGrail:

I find all my stocks to buy or short with telechart 2007.

I just take the russel 3000 and sort it by the slope of each stocks 50 day regression channel with a 2% standard of deviation. The program does this in about 20 seconds.

With this method you can find stocks channeling, or getting ready to move up or down. It's been great.

Exactly the method I've been looking for.

I was on track, but not as precise.

Thanks HG.
 
Here is a simple way to find which stocks to short and long.

We all know the two cycles of the market by now. The May-October period and then the November-April period. In April, see which sectors are nearing the highs and in August which ones have hit the lows.

Buy in August, sell in April, short May, June, July.

That is a great suggestion and it does work, but I would further suggest doing that exact same thing with market sectors first, and then find the stocks you wish to invest.
 
Quote from eagle488:

"Homebuilders"
"Construction materials"

I cant say for certain if these will go lower. I will cross these off my list for now. I know that housing downturns tend to last for a while...

"Technology"

I think this is a good one. Small cap tech is usually a winner right now, but people believe that there will be a recession so they are flocking to the staples. I believe the recession talk is overblown because I have lived during a few recessions. This isnt a recession we are in. I think there are people who are believing the bond market. The bond market, however, is heavily weighted by foreign demand.

The foreign demand is because they are underwriting loans for growth. The dip in the ten year is actually a bullish sign for the global economy...

"Insurance"

Disagree. The time to buy insurance stocks was 1-2 months ago. I believe some have run their course although there still might be a little more run coming.

Large, quality insurance stocks are always excellent long term holders. A company like All-State is not going away and it will always have customers. I would feel comfortable placing any insurance stock into a ROTH IRA and just letting it run for 10 years to see where it goes.
