Saw it. There was an interesting bit of data on projected default rates for these types of educational institutions, where LINC was thought ot be at greater risk than it's peers:
cohort default data
LINC is currently rated 86 by IBD - pretty solid.
BGS announced that their secondary stock offering was going to be priced at $8.00, so the stock today is adjusting accordingly.
Look at the move by DL just a few minutes ago - wow! That totally erased any loss I had on that one.

Create a watchlist called IBD1 and add to it the following stocks:
AAPL ABAX ABV ABVT ACTG ACTU ADS ADVS ADY AEA AEPI AES AFL AGN AIRM ALLI ALXN AMED AMSC AMX ANEN ANSS APAC APKT ARO ARRS ARST ARTG ASIA ASPM ATAC ATHN ATNI ATRI ATW AYR AZZ BAMM BAP BBD BBV BCA BCRX BEC BFR BGFV BGH BGS BIDU BIOS BJRI BKI BMA BMC BPSG BR BRLI BUCY BWLD BWY BYI BZ CA CACC CAM CATM CBOU CCE CCJ CEA CERN CFL CFNB CFSG CGA CGEN CHBT CHDX CHKP CHS CHSI CIB CISG CKSW CLFD CMG CML CNQR CPA CPLA CPSI CRAY CREE CRGN CRI CRM CSC CTB CTCM CTEL CTFO CTGX CTRN CTRP CTSH CTXS CVLT CXO CYAN CYBS CYD CYOU DBRN DDRX DEST DFG DGW DIN DISCA DISCB DISCK DJCO DL DLLR DLM DLR DLTR DORM DRC DRCO DSGX DTG DVAX DVR DXCM EBIX EBS ECPG EDU EEFT EEI EJ ELGX EMS ENDP EONC EPAX EPAY EPB EQIX ESLT EVOL EVTC EXPE FCFC FDS FFG FFH FFIV FHCO FIRE FIS FISV FLS FLY
Now create a second watchlist called IBD2 and add to it the following stocks:

You only need to copy the list and then paste it into the "add symbols" box. These are the watchlists the filter will search.

As of 4:15 PM, the BUY filter identified LINC, BGS, and MANT
Having posted on LINC and BGS already this week, here is a little blurb on ManTech (MANT), posted this morning before the stock dropped ...
"MANT - ManTech is a cyber-warfare specialist, providing services to U.S. government agencies.
The numbers: Second-quarter net income grew 30% to $29 million and earnings per share jumped 29% to 80 cents, restrained by a higher share count. ManTech's gross margin rose from 16% to 18% and its operating margin increased from 8% to 9%. A quick ratio of 1.8 indicates ample liquidity. The company holds minimal debt.
The stock: ManTech has fallen 3% this year, underperforming major U.S. indices. The stock trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 19, a discount to the market and tech consulting peers. The company doesn't pay dividends. "
IBD Rating: 93
BGS should stabilize at 8.00 after dropping again today - not a surprise given the secondary offering. Good decision to hold off one day.
No SELL signals - ACOR actually came up at 3:45 PM, but dropped to just below the Upper BB by the end of trading. Keep an eye on it - it is currently up +14.37%. Will hit the upper BB sometime tomorrow, most likely.

Kevin - so how are you going to approach MANT? Buy first thing in the morning, in after hours right now, or wait

AH data shows MANT up 1.18 (+2.31%)! Darn.
AH data has BGS up 0.01 (0.13%).
LINC unchanged in AH.
MANT will be a buy for me at the open unless there is a big change in pre-market.
AH may be a buy limit at 8.00 - not sure yet.
LINC is a buy at the open unless there is pre-market data to the contrary.
If the market opens lower, that will also be a good thing.

Set up limit orders for LINC (in at 19.90 this morning) and MANT (in at 51.00 this morning). Have a limit order set for BGS at 8.00, which has not filled yet.
EDIT: Just filled the BGS order at 8.00.
