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 Tech So - $27.75
- -1.18%
- $28.00
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 - $32.51
- -0.85%
- $32.71
Numbers still very good, and of all my holdings this one just "wants" to go up.

-
HANS
Hansen Natural Co - $25.58
- +2.12%
- $24.81
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 - $12.88
- -1.45%
- $13.02
big drop is buying opportunity. this is still a big time growth company.

-
TRAD
Tradestation Grp - $10.39
- +1.37%
- $10.14

ASFI
Asta Funding Inc - $8.36
- -1.99%
- $8.41
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

BLUD
Immucor Inc - $31.08

- $31.25

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.
