Buy List +9.19% YTD

Today was another outstanding day for our Buy List. We gained 0.71% today compared with just 0.03% for the S&P 500. We’re now up 9.19% for the year to the S&P 500’s 5.98%. This is a pretty impressive run we’ve been on: we’ve beaten the S&P 500 for eight of the last nine days.

Ford ($F) got a big lift today thanks to an analyst upgrade from Credit Suisse. Bespoke notes that the stock is back above its 50-day moving average. Ford got as high as $15.74 today which is the highest level since February 18th. The next earnings report should be out in about three weeks.

Shares of Oracle ($ORCL), Deluxe ($DLX) and Leucadia (LUK) hit new 52-week highs today. Oracle got as high as $34.43 today. The stock seems to be experiencing a delayed positive surge from its recent earnings report.

I was happy to see Reynolds American ($RAI) briefly get over $36 per share. AFLAC ($AFL) closed today at $54.35 which is a post-quake high.

Remember that on Wednesday, the Bed Bath & Beyond ($BBBY) earnings report comes out. I’m not looking for spectacular earnings, but I’ll be very curious to hear what guidance they offer.
