Eminitrader,

Thanks for the explanation.  Your picks are very interesting.  I will take your suggestion as starting point, do my own dysfunctional research, and do the needful.  I surely do appreciate your input.

So friends,

Recently (before I stumbled upon this thread) I bought these stocks:

• Citi


• Bank of America


• Wells Fargo


• Rexx Energy


• National Oilwell Varco

Glad to say that I am almost 16% up.  Except for Citi stock, which is currently below my purchase price - though it is steadily climbing today - all the others are making money for me.

I am seeking stocks like Rexx, which are so beaten down that their price is in single digits but the company holds a promise and most likely triple, quadruple or more the current stock price in a matter of year or two when the economy makes the turn.   Any ideas?
