The Latest Picks That Paid – Friday August 14th

Quicker than the ticker

Our traders are good... but you knew that! Check out their latest picks that paid in a regular feature we call "Quicker Than The Ticker."

Tim Seymour

On August 3rd, the Ambassador made an upside call on Alcoa [AA  Loading...      ()   ], saying "I'm worried about commodity prices going up and I'm worried mostly about aluminum going up, and I think this is a great looking chart. I'd own Alcoa here, and I do."

Turned out that Seymour was right on target, as the price of Aluminum jumped and shares of Alcoa followed, with the stock up 16%.

Karen Finerman

On August 4th, the Chairwoman called a bottom in real estate, looking at homebuilder Centex [CTX  Loading...      ()   ], saying "I think that Centex full-team merger was really a watershed event. That you had two guys with strong balance sheets coming together... I am long Centex. I actually think the bottom."

A good call from Finerman, since she made the call, shares of the home builder are up Up 10% after a competitor saw net contracts for new homes climb for the first time in four years.

Joe Terranova

On July 22nd, the Liquidator made a "buy" call on US Bancorp [UBS  Loading...      ()   ], saying "this is one of the names that I think you have to own. It is not a crowded trade, which you want to avoid in this environment where you talk about non-performing asset growth"

Since, the bank has picked up steam and Joe's trade has rallied 22%.
