Navellier Growth: your source for market-beating growth stocks

 

I recently bought DCO and GPRO per your suggestion and am pleased with their movement. What is your goal with these stocks? When should I consider selling them in order to make the most profit? Thanks.

Both Ducommon (DCO) and Gen-Probe (GPRO) are B-rated in PortfolioGrader Pro.  Ducommun has improved substantially after announcing its latest quarterly earnings.  Gen-Probe also improved in the wake of its latest quarterly earnings announcement and its higher guidance.  I will sell both of these stocks when their PortfolioGrader Pro ratings falter.  However, both stocks are “Buys” due to their B-ratings.  If you buy predominately A-rated stocks from PortfolioGrader Pro, you can earn more money, but you have to trade more and would like pay up to 35% short-term federal capital gains taxes.  I recommend A-rated stocks in pension accounts, then A and B-rated stocks in taxable accounts, so you can trade less and achieve better long-term capital gains while only paying 15% federal taxes.
