Stock Picks Bob's Advice

Merry Christmas! On tonight's podcast, I discuss Movado Group and read a poem by Emma Lazarus that is on the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty "The New Colossus" by Emma Lazarus. I don't own any shares of MOV, but like the recent quarter that beat expectations, the raised guidance, the steady Morningstar.com "5-Yr Restated" financials, the increasing dividend, stable outstanding shares, and solid balance sheet. I review these results and look at a 'point & figure' chart from StockCharts.com.

On tonight's podcast, I discuss Graham (GHM) a stock that I recently purchased shares for my own trading account. I first read "Mending Wall" by Robrt Frost, then explain my criteria for identifying stocks starting with top percentage gainers, strong latest quarter, and longer-term results. I review these findings, discuss some valuation numbers and point out the 'point and figure' chart characteristics and why I chose to break my own rules and jump in and buy some shares.

In tonight's podcast, continuing my recent tradition, I read a poem, this one by Raymnd Carver called "At Least", and then take a closer look at Garmin (GMN) which recently called off an acquisition and secured data from Navteq for an additional four years.
