LOL. Almost not surprisingly, it's given up pretty much all of it's gains. Shoulda sold at the open, I guess.

by the way, SHOO was another one that would have triggered a buy a couple of weeks ago. It was kind of a "tweener" in that there wasn't enough runout to include it in my initial analysis, but it happened over a week before I had finalized my program so i didn't buy it. I would have gotten it at about 18.20 if memory serves, and it is now around $22, for over 20%.
With my luck, MPG will be the first loser, and it's the first one I bought
I'll run my analysis program again tonight and see if any new ones pop up.

After a couple of down days, MPG had a bit of an increase today to close at 26.84. Down just under 2% overall.
I didn't get a chance to run the program again last night, but will try to do it this evening.

Looks like one dude has been steadily buying, but not enough of the other things that I look for happened to make me look into it further. Plus the buys aren't for all that much each.

I think the trigger to intially look into it is $50K in one purchase, then I look at some other indicators.

GE CEO Immelt buys 83,000 shares October 23, 2007: 08:10 AM EST
Oct. 23, 2007 (Thomson Financial delivered by Newstex) --
NEW YORK (AP) - The chairman and chief executive of General Electric Co. bought 83,000 shares of common stock Monday, spending more than $3.3 million, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In a Form 4 filed with the SEC, Jeffrey R. Immelt reported he bought the shares for between $40.03 and $40.13 apiece.
The purchase brought Immelt's direct holdings of the entertainment and industrial conglomerate's stock to more than 1.07 million shares, for a total value of more than $43 million, based on GE's (NYSE:GE) closing price of $40.17 Monday. Immelt also holds 20,777 shares through a 401(k) plan, according to the filing.
According to media reports, the purchase was Immelt's largest to date in dollar value, and his holdings are well above company guidelines that require him to own six times the value of his salary in stock.
Immelt received $15.2 million in compensation in 2006, according to a company proxy filed in February.
That was made up of $3.3 million in salary, a $5 million bonus and $548,013 in other benefits, including private use of company airplanes, and performance share units valued at $6.3 million on the day they were granted last year. The performance units will convert into GE stock after five years if the company meets certain financial benchmarks, according to the proxy.
Insiders file Form 4s with the SEC to report transactions in their companies' shares. Open market purchases and sales must be reported within two business days of the transaction.
General Electric is based in Fairfield, Conn.

I ran my for 4 program last night and a new one popped up. The symbol is CWTR. The company announced dissapointing earnings guidance recently, and the stock dropped about 20%. Two days later the CEO bought over $250,000 worth, and another insider bought over $100,000 worth.
Had I run my program over the weekend, I would have bought this one at the open on Monday at 7.85. It has already bounced back up over 5%, but since it is still below what the CEO bought at ($8.43), I am still comfortable buying.
This one also popped up on fourseven's gap scan, so we should keep a special eye on this one to see how stocks react when they hit both scans.

If MPG closes below $26.70 today it will trigger my sell rule and I'd take a 2.5% or so loss on it. CWTR is up about 6.5% at this point though.

there was another buy trigger today. I got in PFCB at 27.38.
I got stopped out of MPG the other day for a loss of like 5 or 6% (I'll give the exact number later), but of course it's up today to above wheer I originally bought.
CWTR had a few down days, but is also back in the black now.
