American Vanguard Group - AVD - Growth Stock

I promised you a little something extra in the last half of the year so here it is.  Some of you would like to see Fundamental Analysis combined with Technical Analysis and I think I've found a way to do it.  On my Barchart Portfolio Blogs under the News, Views and More Stocks subheading you will now find an list of stocks that I think have the highest potential for short term profits because they have both fundamental and technical factors going in their favor. The list will be updated each month and I'll try to feature several of them in additional blogs.  The first to be featured is American Vanguard Group (AVD).
