Applied Industrial Technologies (AIT)

Boring stocks make $, slightly undervalued on past earnings, will snap back up. I like the ratios...

Potential Stock for real portfolio

This is your typical "boring" company with everything going for it. Especially a market that is benefiting from the weakness in the dollar. As foreign goods become more expensive, domestic manufacturing will increase. This company will be there to provide manufacturing expendables.

Further, they are managing their business very nicely. Their financial statements are pristine!. I can't find anything not to like in their financials. Outperform for several years to come.

5 Star, Small- Cap, dividend paying company

Taking a stab at the lynch approach. Strong 3yr eps growth, low debt to equity at .05, historical pre-tax income growth over last 4 years, a p/e to growth that is less than 1. This stock looks good.

It appears to be boring. Consistently making more money doing the same boring thing year after year. It fits the Lynch mold.

Fortune 40 Deep Value

Doubled earnings in last 5 years. Has stayed strong through this economic crunch. Need I say more????

This company is one of 62 listed on the BetterInvesting Growth Screen in January 2008. It met 4 criteria: it is projected by Value Line to double earnings in the next five years, has actually doubled earnings in the past 5 years, is selling at price-earnings multiples (P/E’s) that are 110 percent or less of Value Line’s projected earnings growth rate and has a safety rating of average or better. It was listed in the March 2008 BetterInvesting magazine.

P

As with all my picks: A very attractive P/E, excellent EPS growth rate and high five year growth prospects.

IDK

Testing out a portfolio of smallish-cap 5-star stocks found using the CAPS screener. All picks have at least 50 allstars backing them, which should be enough to minimize star rating fluctuations. It's only been about a week, and I expect a LOT of volatility, but I have high hopes for market beating performance. Time will tell...

Testing a portfolio of companies that start with the letter "A".

this stock will preform in the next few weeks technoligies always rebound

In imo animo stat pulchritudo - Beauty lies in the depths of ones soul.

What could be more beautiful than industrial processes?

They have been attaining record results for profitability despite crummy markets in the housing and automotive industry.

Their cash flow is strong and they just raised their dividend by 25%.

Long time favorite of mine I expect a turn around when the dust settles.

AIT is seems to follow it's MACD and even thought it's a roller coaster it's a steady and predictible stock with dividends

Good company at $24.39

Price/sales ratio around .6, & long term EPS growth rates. Solid, but boring company.
