I query the bullish scans for the month of March for stocks whose Price-Sales score of > 0.6 and then group them by industry. Surprisingly, "Apparel Stores" is on top of the list with 31 stocks followed by "Business Services" at 18. So curious that I check the charts of the "Apparel Stores" stocks and I was amazed that majority of them are uptrending from 6 months(like HOTT, ARO, DBRN) to a month despite the bad news of recession and bailouts that we often here from the TV or read from newspapers and websites. As you know, Price-Sales score is one of my favorite criteria in filtering stocks for swing trading and trend trading. You might see more often this type of picks in my daily posting.
