These are the stocks that are passing at least three of my five filters, for the week of December 15. There are no IBD Top-ranked stocks this week, and only one IBD Supply/Demand stock (AMED).

A good performer for me has been shorting the discretionary retail sector, by buying puts. Consumers are putting themselves on a strict diet, so they're shopping less often at Target and more often at Wal Mart. (And buying fewer CDs and the same amount of frozen pizzas.)
Have fun trading this week. We passed final building inspection (3 of 4), so we have electrical still to go. The inspector wants to ask some questions about the photovoltaic system.
