Triple Hindsight Report: Friday, Monday, and Tuesday
It has been a flurry of activity here in Tacoma WA, I compare my crazy life right now to our Spring weather: in a 24 period late last week we had snow, freezing rain, hail, thunder and lightning, sunshine, rain, and temperatures from 30 to 50 degrees.
I guess the condition of the market would compare with the weather as well. Crazy and unexplainable ups and downs with a tendancy towards improvement. Today the Dow and the S&P 500 hit 4 1/2 year highs with the Nasdaq and Russell 2000 only a couple percentage points behind them.
Today, many many stocks enjoyed a fairly broad market rally. Stocks with any kind of upside beta (definition of beta) seemed to do especially well. I'll list today's Hindsight stocks first, then Monday's, and finally Friday's. Be sure to check out some new names that will be highlighted for the first time.
Hindsight Report for Tuesday the 14th of March, 2006
SVI Services Acquisition Corp Intl 20.81% --This company is a SPAC (Special Purpose Acquisition Company) that just recently purchased Jamba Juice for $265 million. The stock is on fire right now. I'll buy some tomorrow if it continues to go up but probably just for a day trade. Once it settles down, I'll consider it longer-term as Jamba Juice could be a good growth story.
