Hello from Knoxville, Tennessee. My name is Marcus Leverett; im an ametuer investor. I have been trading stocks now for the past two years. I must give all credit to Jim Cramer; his antic ways is what drove me to the world of investing. I think Cramer has a gifted talent for the stock market, and his abilities are second to none. I do believe that he draws a lot of short interest to his stocks, and that is the reason I don't follow his picks.
I'm a momentum investor. I like stocks that have been recently reported good numbers; stocks that have beat expectations. The stocks I pick have to show positive growth the last five fiscal years. I also like to look at stocks that are up more than %20 the last fiscal year. I don't put much value in the multiple and peg but I do keep an eye on it. I like stocks that have clean balance sheets. I take all these analyzation techniques and mix in a little point and firgue charting to pick my stocks. I let my winners run and I cut my loses early.

AMED
Amedisys Inc - $32.60
- +1.37%
- $32.11
Amedisys is a provider of home health services to Medicare beneficiaries. This stock is up almost %27 in a fiscal year. According to CNBC.com, the stock's one year growth rate %17.9. The five year growth rate is %35.7. One of Cramer's mantra is don't buy a stock that is growing twice its growth rate. According to CNBC.com, the PE on this stock is only 18.8. The PEG has room to grow (1.35) According to Morningstar, the stock has been growing steadily over the last five years. Yahoo Finance shows that the balance sheet is clean, no debt is always a plus. Stock Charts.com shows that the stock had a Triple Top Breakout as of May 2nd, 2007. This stock is a buy. Cmon' the stock had a %82 profit the first quarter of 2007.

HRS
Harris Corp. - $31.00
- 0.00%
- $30.88
Harris Corporation (Harris), together with its subsidiaries, is an international communications and information technology company focused on providing assured communications products, systems and services for government and commercial customers. The stock is up %39.5 the last 12 months. On Morningstar's website you will see that the stock has been profitable over the last five years. Yahoo finance shows the balance sheet has no debt. The stock recently won a 422M defense contract and it also won a military radio contract. StockCharts.com shows an unbelievable points and firgue charts, it has been above the resistance line since 2003. In this same time period the stock has ballooned over %187. I think there is more room for this stock to grow, grow, grow.

MDR
Mcdermott Interna - $22.48
- 0.00%
- $22.74
MDR is an engineering and construction company. McDermott International is up %94.48 (year over year). That's the growth I love to see when evaluating stocks. Starting with Morningstar.com, we see that the 5 year re-stated isn't as prosperous as I usually like it to be, but it has rebounded nicely the last two years. CNBC shows that the stock has not had a Quarter disappointment during the last 12 Quarters. CNBC also shows that the stock 5 year growth rate is growing at %131 (wild fire) Yahoo Finance shows that the stock has very little short interest (%1.3). Looking at the balance sheet at Yahoo, you'll see that the company is debt free. Looking at stockcharts.com's P&F charts shows that the stock is well above its resistance line. I don't think this stock is a strong buy, but a buy nonetheless.
