(A Top Pick Jun22/12. Up 0.33%.) Usually from the end of June until the end of August this has a period of seasonal strength. This year looked particularly interesting as gasoline prices were coming down at the end of June which meant more money for the consumer. Also the opportunity to see really good movies in the summertime attracted a lot of audience. However, gasoline prices this year at the end of June went way up. If you are in this, now is the time to look for better opportunities.

They are looked at by management actions, price momentum, earnings momentum and a number of value criteria.

Technicals clicked in about two weeks ago and it moved above its 20 day moving average and started to outperform the S&P 500. There are a lot of fantastic movies people are going to watch this summer.
TOP PICK
