Because of the press of time on Friday I was unable to elaborate on the recommendations that were presented by the Rocket Science methodology.
Let’s start with the following ETFs below. I’ve added the YPE plus average daily volume metrics for each fund. No surprises in the numbers. However, Malaysia has a lot of share volume plus a couple of percent premium and Steel has a bit light volume. Lets look at the charts next. RSI hasn’t picked PWJ in the past. I like the mid cap sector and I will be looking at this fund with interest as a conservative investment.
ETF/CEF Low Volatility:
- PWJ – Powershares Dynamic Mid Cap GR 0.04, 0.05, 0.65, 132,300 shares
ETF/CEF Medium Volatility:
- EWM – Malaysia iShares 3.07, 3.44, 0.54, 3,198,300 shares
- SLX – Market Vectors Steel 0.59, 0.17, 0.55, 99,600 shares
This last year Malaysia has not had the correction of the other two funds and appears to be pushing forward. The other two are recovering from the recent January correction. I like all three funds.
Stocks Medium Volatility:
- AOC – Aon Corp.
- ARGN – Amerigon, Inc.
- BEAV – BE Aerospace, Inc.
- DAR – Darling Intl, Inc.
- HP – Helmerich & Payne Inc.
- IDC – Interactive Data Corp.
- ORB – Orbital Sciences Corp.
- PRXL – PAREXEL Intl Corp.
- VMI – Valmont Industries, Inc.
- XTO – XTO Energy Inc.
Sorry for the rat nest chart but it does demonstrate that these are strong stocks on an upward trajectory that are recovering from the recent market selloff. Let me highlight the new (not previously on RSI’s radar screen) candidates.
Aon Corporation provides insurance and risk management, consulting, and insurance underwriting solutions worldwide.
Interactive Data Corporation provides financial market data, analytics, and related services to financial institutions, active traders, and individual investors.
Orbital Sciences Corporation engages in the development and manufacture of small rockets and space systems for commercial, military, and civil government customers in the United States.
XTO Energy, Inc. and its subsidiaries engage in the acquisition, development, exploitation, and exploration of producing oil and gas properties in the United States.
Stocks High Volatility:
- APOL – Apollo Grp., Inc.
- ARTG – Art Technology Group, Inc.
- BOOM – Dynamic Materials Corp.
- CCC – Calgon Carbon Corp.
- CEDC – Central European Distribution Corp.
- DLB – Dolby Laboratories
- HRBN – Harbin Electric Inc
- LIFC – LifeCell Corp.
- SIGM – Sigma Designs, Inc.
- VCGH – VCG Holding Corp.
- WDC – Western Digital Corp.
Several of these stocks, such as Calgon & Apollo, have had banner years. Some like Sigma have been hit hard in recent months.
Okay, same drill; here are the new picks.
Apollo Group, Inc. provides various educational programs and services at high school, college, and graduate levels.
Dynamic Materials Corporation provides explosion-welded clad metal plates and welding services.
Dolby Laboratories, Inc. engages in the development and delivery of products and technologies for the entertainment industry worldwide.
Harbin Electric, Inc. develops, engineers, manufactures, and sells customized linear motors and other special motors.
LifeCell Corporation engages in the development and marketing of tissue-based products for use in reconstructive, orthopedic, and urogynecologic surgical procedures to repair soft tissue defects in the United States and internationally.
Sigma Designs, Inc. offers silicon-based digital media processors primarily for Internet protocol (IP) video technology, connected media players, high-definition televisions, and personal computers add-in and other markets.
If we stand back and look at the stocks and funds we see a variety of themes that may be saying, the market is back on track and there are a variety of interesting areas. Go for it.

This is a ton of funds. This is a fertile field for bottom pickers. I looked at the strongest funds at Friday’s close. Many of them were included in RSI’s CFK list from posts. So this is an opportunity if you believe the market is coming back.
