I prefer companies with well above average returns on equity and total capital. Most will have strong revenue growth, book value growth, and free cashflow. Generally I try to get into good companies at a good price. Not many turnarounds.
Buy price is determined independently of company selection.
Sell rules are ill-defined for me currently, but I am a longer term holder of my larger positions.

-
CTSH
Cognizant Technol - $43.00
- 0.00%
- $N/A
growth rate and low PE makes this my top current holding. IT outsourcing trend will continue and, this company may be the best of the bunch.

-
GRMN
Garmin Ltd. - $28.43
- +1.03%
- $27.85
Numbers still very good, and of all my holdings this one just "wants" to go up.

-
HANS
Hansen Natural Co - $34.46
- -6.81%
- $33.22
Holding tentatively now. I don't have a good feel for energy drink market dynamics, but if growth persists this is a good valuation.

-
VDSI
Vasco Data Securi - $6.05
- -1.47%
- $6.01
big drop is buying opportunity. this is still a big time growth company.

TRAD
Tradestation Grou - $7.50
- -1.96%

ASFI
Asta Funding - $7.0819
- -3.38%
- $7.05
I'm buying into the thesis that the credit "crisis" creates good buying opportunities for collections companies. Valuation is compelling compared to similar company like PRAA

I've been watching the inversion of the yield curve with interest and have recently taken a more conservative or even bearish stance. Cash levels are higher in my real money portfolios than at any time in the past 3-4 years.
Here's an interesting website I've found that shows changes in the yield curve over time.
