It was a huge week for some Mastery favorites which include Take-Two (TTWO), Dendreon (DNDN), and perhaps a chance to gamble a few bucks on $2 stocks.  Those two buck chucks include Metalico (MEA).  It's hard to believe MEA has fallen so hard, which is why we want to give it a look. 

Early December of 2012 Mastery recommended buying shares of Dendreon Corp (DNDN), Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc (CROX), and Crocs Inc (CROX). All three stocks were finally making a comeback from their respective 12 month lows.  Timing is everything.

This week Mastery found opportuinity in Crocs Inc (CROX), WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity Fund (DXJ), Reynolds American Inc (RAI), and AbbVie Inc (ABBV).  We aren't sure if the rally in equities will continue and we believe the line-up just mentioned provides diversity for your portfolio.  Enjoy the weekend Masters and thank you for reading.

Crocs Inc (CROX) got kicked in the groundhog today, falling 10% and ending at $14.19 a share.  That's just 15% away from its 12 month low.  However this soccer mom shoe play did the same thing last year as Jim Duffy of Stifel Nicolaus noted.  If correct history could repeat itself on the stock and take it right back to $20 (a 40% ROI) before the year is over. 

Three stocks that are now comfortably off their 12 month lows are shares of Dendreon Corp (DNDN), Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc (CROX), and Crocs Inc (CROX).  These are great bottom fishing plays and they could really bounce if we don't go off the 'Fiscal Cliff'.

Cue the mindless momentum stocks that always go up when the bulls are in control. They are Apple Inc. (AAPL), Skullcandy Inc. (SKUL), Crocs Inc. (CROX), and Priceline.com Inc. (PCLN).

Mastery said wait until a 52-week low on Crocs Inc (CROX), well mission accomplished.

FYI, Microsoft (MSFT) is now under $25, trading today at $24.80 which is 4.64% away from its 52-week low.  We wanted to alert our readers as we said yesterday in Move over Doom, let's go Shopping (BBY, MSFT, GME, GE) to make an entry point under $25.  Microsoft is a solid company, a not so solid company that is trading close to its 52-week low is Crocs Inc (CROX).  CROX is 3.9% away from its 52-week low.  Crocs is trading at $15.56 which clocks the stock at a P/E ratio of 12.5.
