Date updated:07-10-2008

The goal of this portfolio is not necessarily to find the best stocks for the next century but the ones that can either snapback this week because of an irrational selloff last week, or they have some other potential catalyst that can create explosive potential during the coming week

Look for those snapback plays

). Zoran (ZRAN), which was unfairly punished on Thursday, after NVIDIA’s pathetic earnings miss. I smell a snapback rally soon. First off, Zoran has $315 million dollars cash or $6 per share sitting in the bank, with zero debt. Revenues have grown from $108 million in 2001 to over $507 million in 2007. As one of the largest sellers of electronic equipment, only 6% of total sales come from both the US and European end markets. This means, that whatever slowdown might be taking place in the United States, should not hurt Zoran. However, it is worth noting that Best Buy (BBY) did surprise analysts with how many electronic units it sold, although it came with a price: lower margins. Last quarter, Zoran, shot up 15% in a single day, after raising its 2008 outlook----my guess is that this trend continues.

  • $50.76

Another name, investors and traders should keep an eye on are shares of Century Aluminum (CENX). This week Alcoa (AA) reports earnings which could be the catalyst for Century Aluminum. Despite the fact that aluminum prices are near a 12-month high, there are some fears that higher input costs could hurt the Alcoa, and thus Century Aluminum’s earnings. My guess, is that while aluminum smelting, certainly isn’t the most energy efficient task around, the higher prices should more than compensate the additional input costs. Century Aluminum is also dirty cheap, trading with a forward P/E of 6.28 and has a mammoth size short position of around 20%
