6 Sky Rocket Stocks

Today's featured stocks -  I'll withhold the term  "stock pick" -  are highly volatile and before you consider adding them to your portfolio please do additional due diligence.

On days when the market seems to be regrouping or taking a breather is a good day to learn how to screen for stocks that are beating the trend.  Today I used Barchart to screen all the Stocks Hitting New Highs list, then sorted them for frequency and used the flipchart function to pan through the charts.  Some have risen too fast to continue much longer and some seem to be rising in spite of poor fundamentals but I decided to give you the charts anyway.

Today's list includes Orbitz Worldwide (OWW), Cerus Corp (CERS), First Financial Holdings (FFCH), E I DuPont de Nemours and Co (DD), Arch Capital Group (ACGL) and Universal Corp (UVV):
