southern Fidelity - The little bank that roars

February 03, 2011 – Comments (0) | RELATED TICKERS: LION

This morning I added Fidelity Southern (LION) to the Barchart Van Meerten Speculative portfolio.  You've got to love a stock with the trading symbol of LION.

Fidelity Southern Corporation, through its operating subsidiary Fidelity Bank, provides a wide range of banking, mortgage and investment services through branches in Atlanta, Georgia. Mortgage, construction, and automobile loans are also provided through offices in Jacksonville, Florida.



I found the stock while screening on Barchart for low priced stock hitting new highs.  Here are the factors I considered:

1 - 96% Barchart technical buy signal

2 - 18 new highs and up 24.17% in just the last month

3 - Relative Strength Index is 77.81% and rising

4 - Trades around 8.63 with a 50 day moving average of 7.25
