Eight stocks bucking the down-trend --- some even have good financials!

Instead of doing our usual quick post announcing that the weekend's free stock signals are now available at Alert HQ, I'd like to just focus on a few stocks that are standing out from the crowd.

Since almost all the signals at Alert HQ are SELL signals, why dwell on the negative? Instead, I'd like to present eight stocks that are still looking good despite the current pull-back.

The following stocks are the only ones that were added to the Trend Leaders list this week. Usually, there are over a hundred stocks that come onto the list in any given week. This time - just eight. What this means is that these eight stocks are exhibiting strong up-trends as measured by Aroon, MACD and DMI analysis.

Symbol	Name	Price
DPS	Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc	$35.72
IDSA	Industrial Services of America, Inc.	$19.62
CPEX	CPEX Pharmaceuticals, Inc.	$25.25
CBAN	Colony Bankcorp, Inc.	$8.62
CLW	Clearwater Paper Corporation	$60.01
FFFD	North Central Bancshares, Inc.	$19.27
SRLS	SeraCare Life Sciences Inc	$5.09
ABCO	The Advisory Board Company	$38.09

So from a technical analysis point of view, all of these stocks are relatively strong. From a fundamental point of view it's more of a mixed bag. Still, there are a few that stand out for have strong financials as well as attractive charts. In particular, Dr Pepper Snapple and Clearwater Paper Corporation are exceptional while Industrial Services of America and SeraCare Life Sciences look pretty good, too.

As evidenced by these stocks, there's still life in this market and I wouldn't be too quick to throw in the towel.

Pick 'o the Month - a two'fer

Usually I focus on a single smaller, more obscure stock. In this case, I would like to submit two stocks, a large-cap, Cisco Systems ( CSCO ), and a small-cap, Big Band Networks ( BBND ). These two stocks embody a resurgence in the network infrastructure space. That theme is what ties these two picks together. With the rising tide of video, music and movies downloaded over the Internet and cable companies offering bundled TV, phone and Internet, we have finally absorbed the glut of network capacity created during the Internet bubble. This deluge of multimedia is changing service providers’ business models, and the ways they manage and develop networks. The focus now is on how to move, manage and monetize content that is richer and more complex than ever before. In response, as telecommunications companies ramp up newer, faster networks to handle all this traffic, Cisco Systems is a prime beneficiary. As the dominant player in network infrastructure, it has already seen profits begin to...
