Mayor’s Picks - April 2008

The market has finally settled down for the first time this year with decent earnings flooding the market last week. More earnings will be coming out this week and hopefully the good news will continue. If the market can settle down people will not feel so uptight about the economy leading to more lending and we can get out of this rut we’ve been in for six months. Of course who knows if that will happen.

Some changes on the list this month. After a long run I don’t know that Apple is a great value so I’ve taken them off the list. We’ll know Wednesday if that was a good move or not. After a few months staying away from banks I think it’s time to step back into a safe one. So enough with the foreshadowing, here’s my stock picks this month and a recap of the last year. This was the ninth straight month my picks outperformed the market over a year.
