Sneak Peek at Quantum Growth

I've gotten a lot of emails recently about my trading service, Quantum Growth. I'm happy to report that our Quantum returns have been very strong over the past several weeks. Since so many people have asked about Quantum, I thought I'd give a sneak peek at our most recent But List.

Each week, we highlight our Top 5 buys of the week. Here are #3, #4 and #5 for this week:

3. Flowserve (FLS) moves up to my #3 spot this week. The company recently had a blow-out earnings report. For the first-quarter, FLS earned $1.53 per share, which creamed the 94 cents a share that Wall Street was expecting. For 2008, the company foresees earnings of $5.90 to $6.20 per share, which was raised from its previous estimate of $5.10 to $5.40 per share. Flowserve continued to rally last week and remains a great buy.

4. Occidental Petroleum (OXY) is headed to World Bank arbitration with Ecuador regarding its lawsuit seeking $1 billion in damages. The company is alleging its property was confiscated illegally when Ecuador canceled its operating contract in May 2006 and nationalized its oil fields. In a separate case before the court, Ecuador recently reached a settlement with Occidental to return $100 million in taxes. The company had originally said it was due a $171 million refund, and Ecuador's energy minister called the agreement a victory. The stock continues to rally with crude oil prices. OXY is a great buy.

5. Unibanco (UBB) recently announced that its first-quarter earnings rose 27.5% due to strong growth in its loan portfolio. Last week the Brazilian government announced an economic stimulus package that it said would provide the equivalent of more than $13 billion in export credits and tax cuts, which should benefit Unibanco's business. The stock rallied impressively last week and remains an outstanding buy!
