  That's interesting! Any correlation with anything? Like all on an up trend for the last yr or have had significant volume recently? It would also be interesting to see a monthly or weekly list to see what changes.

  Ok, if you took the top stock from every list I would think, based on my unscientific guess, they would out perform the market. You could start a new newsletter. Maybe "watched stocks never fail" or "watchlist stocks".

  Over 21 years, Colin Angle has built up iRobot from an idea in the MIT robotics lab to a publically-traded, $422 million industry leader operating in 40 countries. He’s earned dozens of awards and accolades across the world for his, and iRobot’s, work. He’s even been the CEO subject/author in The New York Times Sunday business section feature “The Boss.”

  Our Business Value Enhancement MetricTM analysis confirms the high esteem his performance to date has garnered. Exact comparisons are difficult given iRobot’s very different divisions, but below we compare Angle to some representative peers in the S&P 500 and S&P 1000, across five years, three years and one year.

  I have tried two models of irobot. It probably has improved since I gave up on them. They are expensive for a vacuum cleaner, truly a 'discretionary' purchase. Their military applications may wind down; look for the super-committee to fail to agree on anything, and consequently a huge slash in military spending.

  Read the comments in Amazon about Soda Stream carefully. The 5 stars may be spam, there is a suspicious pattern of dates and commenters who have commented on few or no other products. The substantive problems show serious issues in customer service, lack of cost savings to the consumer, and poor product quality (the soda goes flat, the flavors contain splenda, etc). Watch for this company reliance on a questionable gimmick to implode.

  Deer is a China company. The quality is undoubtedly cheap as the price, everyone knows that by now, but the real question is the quality of the accounting. Is the yield and p/e for real? The market is fearful they may not be.

  Whirlpool was great, until they bought Maytag. Many a Maytag product was poorly designed (example: stuff falling out of the door shelves in the refrigerator because the plastic is so flimsy, bad expensive washers).

  Clorox was great. I sold it shortly after Icahn announced he was messing with it. You can make money if you are in ahead of Icahn, but you have to look for a way out before he takes it down, to his gain and your loss. Not that he does not lose money along with you. But he is a loose canon.

  Be careful with these companies in relying on the rearview mirror. There may be trouble ahead.

  I agree with SKAT5 for deer whose comptability declared to the chinese autority seems different to the one declared to the SEC and that company gives an oversccop of the reality of his business, according to many institutional investors, and should follow China Agritech (CAGC). Longtop Financial (LFT) ... in a pullback until $ 1.00.Surprised that it is not very shorted as there is more than 80% to earn.
