Picks based on recent Posts

Here is the detailed write-up on the picks that I like based on my most recent posts. Although I am holding steady with my current stocks, I would be a purchaser of these stocks:

Medcath (NYSE:MDTH)
This company owns and operates hospitals specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease. As this country continues to get unhealthier and older, there will continue to be a need for this type of specialization in healthcare. After their most recent earnings release, it has been trending down and taken out its 52 low in the process. I think a base has been formed around 19.50s and should move higher from here. There is some support from private equity and a majority of the analysts have MDTH rated at least a BUY. I have recommended MDTH in the past, and re-recommended it now.

AK Steel (NYSE:AKS)
The buzz on AK Steel is too much to ignore. Every stock analyst is talking about the impact of steel…everything from high demand to reliance on steel for infrastructure projects like Exxon Mobil’s $25 billion dollar infrastructure investment. The play here is AKS along with US Steel.

OIH or PXJ or XES - Oil Services (check out these Exchange Traded Funds)

You can’t miss the impact of oil at the pump or across the world. I don’t like oil stocks as a whole partly due to the run up they’ve already had but the oil refineries have done a whole lot of nothing…see Tesoro’s (NYSE: TSO) stock price. So the play in oil should be behind the scenes with the companies that service the oil sector.
