I found this in Street.com written by Nancy Zambell of Investor Place a couple of days ago..... Consider the ticker symbol HOOK, a brewer in west coast, today it pulled back by 15% from its all time high but a great growth story at below $10 a share. Another pick is BTN, the name in 3D conversion technology, the recent hit movie Avatar is an example of the kind of movie technology that can be projected using the product-line they produce and this company is the leader and pioneer in this technology.

Some equities are so hard to resist based on valuations and/or takeover speculations. Goldman Sachs (GS) , Metallico (MEA), JASO and AAPL are some examples. Annaly Capital (NLY) is the greatest dividend player I have just dug up and trying to follow. Gold is not my cup of metal now!
