HANS has been one of the top performers in both my own portfolio and the MSW Index over the past two years. The stock has been screened more than 50 times on the weekly analysis from 2005 to 2006 and it has been mentioned in a couple dozen blog posts since August 2005. It has made countless daily screens since 2005 and if I had to guess, the number would be between 150 and 200 screens. My first blog on HANS came back on July 11, 2005 and was the start of a long research relationship. Below are a few key blog entries for HANS (some images and charts may be missing because the original files were uploaded to blogger servers and I haven’t recovered and replaced all of those files since moving to WordPress).

Hansen is recovering the 200-day moving averages for the first time in almost six months and has started to pop back on my fundamental and technical screeners. Last night, the stock made a screen titled “Interesting Stocks within 10% of the 200-d Moving Average”.

I am also following a kid sister stock named Jones Soda (JSDA) which will be profiled here on the blog tomorrow.
