MicroMarvel - Natural Health Trends

MicroMarvel is a series of articles highlighting undercovered stock with less than a billion dollars in Market Capitalization. These articles are not intended to be buy recommendations. They highlight stocks that may have limited trading volume and may be highly volatile, so if you do decide to add them to your portfolio I highly recommend you use stop losses and limit orders.

Today's MicroMarvel is the undiscovered internet healthcare products company Natural Health Trends (NHTC). I found the stock by using Barchart's screening functions to find stocks with the highest technical buy signals, highest Weighted Alpha, superior current momentum, and having a Trend Seeker buy signal, then used the Flipchart feature to review the charts for consistent price appreciation. Since the Trend Seeker signaled a buy on 12/11 the stock gained 8.08%.

Analysts and Investor Sentiment -- I don't buy stocks because everyone else is buying but I do realize that if major firms and investors are dumping a stock it's hard to make money swimming against the tide:

  • The individual investors following the stock on Motley Fool voted 30 to 17 for the stock to out perform the market but the most experienced investors disagree and voted 1 to 6
  • CFRAs MarketScope gives the stock a hold recommendation

Additional disclosure: The MicroMarvels highlights stocks that are experiencing exceptional current price appreciation. They are not intended to be buy recommendations as these stocks are extremely volatile and speculative. Should you decide to add one of these stocks to your investment portfolio it is highly suggested you follow a predetermined diversification and moving stop loss discipline that is consistent with your personal investment risk tolerance and reevaluate your stop losses at least on a weekly basis.
