Stocks for the week of Dec 8

These are the stocks that are passing at least three of my five filters, for the week of December 8. What's unusal about this week is that we have neither IBD Top-ranked stocks nor IBD Supply/Demand stocks.

The Market remains in Red Light mode according to the 1-2-3 model. The Inflation Model has remains at a negative two inflation stars ("deflation"). (When the S&P 500 Price/Earnings ratio dropped below 17 last week, I should have marked it as a yellow light. But now that it has risen above it, it is back to a red light.) I think this is because different companies on the S&P have lowered their earnings forecasts.

Have fun trading this week. We passed plumbing and mechanical inspections, so we have building and electrical to still go. I will be working on the deck railings this weekend.
