Today's Movers:
IGT +9.2%
MGI +8.9%
FSL +5.9%

04/20/2006

Three of our recommended companies released quarterly earnings reports that exceeded Wall Street's expectations.

IGT-International Game Technology - Bear Market Portfolio

Slot machine maker International Game Technology Inc. (IGT) reported that second-quarter profits jumped 32% with international shipments surging 50%. The quarterly results pushed IGT's stock up 9.2% for the day. IGT was added to our Bear Market Portfolio eleven months ago and has produced a total return of 41.5% in that time. Our Bear Market Portfolio has an annualized return of 20.8%.

MoneyGram International-Spinoff

MoneyGram International Inc. (MGI) beat expectations yesterday by reporting an 11% increase in quarterly profits, causing the global payment services company to boost its full-year 2006 estimates. Today research firm Jefferies & Co. upgraded MoneyGram from "hold" to "buy." This was another example of Wall Street analysts being indecisive: the same research firm had downgraded MoneyGram in January. Investors who had moved out of the stock in January would end up missing out on a a 39.5% gain from January to April. On Thursday, MoneyGram's stock rose 8.9%. The company has provided our Primary Stock Portfolio with a return of 106% since being added to the portfolio 18 months ago.

Freescale Semiconductor-Spinoff

Freescale Semiconductor Inc. (FSL) also reported better-than-expected quarterly results. After the market closed yesterday, the chipmaker reported that quarterly profits surged nearly 150%, from $85 million to $212 million. This caused the stock to jump 5.9% today, pushing its gain to 79.4% since being added to our Primary Stock Portfolio 13 months ago. There's a good chance that Freescale's momentum will carry over tomorrow.
