3D Systems has been a "stock of the month" twice already. However, it would be quite arrogant, and very likely incorrect, if I were to act under the assumption that DDD will the only winner in the red-hot 3D printing industry. Therefore, two high-growth competitors have been added to the portfolio...
Stratasys (SSYS)
Positives:
116% revenue growth.
$141M cash, $0 debt.
42% of shares owned by insiders.
Negatives:
No earnings as of yet; forward P/E of 34.
Negative cash flows.
Negative profit margin (-4%) and ROE (-1%).
ExOne (XONE)
Positives:
192% revenue growth.
$71M cash, $5M debt.
37% of shares owned by insiders.
Negatives:
No earnings as of yet; forward P/E of 117(!!).
Atrocious profit (-31%) and operating (-25%) margins.
Heavily shorted (32%).
Here's my current portfolio (growth, dividend, and speculative). As always, I believe in all of these stocks - until I sell them. (Note that AGNC, BBEP, NLY, and PSEC have now been classified as "speculative"...if you would be thinking I am now one step away from exiting these stocks, you might be right.)

Stocks Of The Month: QIHU, DDD
After watching Telsa Motors shares triple over the past 2 months, I had an appetite for a couple of growth stocks...one new to the portfolio, and one already owned...that have each doubled over the past year, yet are each only around $5B in market cap.
Qihoo 360 (QIHU)
Positives:
China. Mobile. Search. A competitor/complimentary-investment of Baidu.
Explosive revenue growth (59%).
$301M cash, $0 debt.
Negatives:
Ridiculous 141 P/E, though forward P/E of 25 is reasonable.
Modest operating (11%) and profit (10%) margins.
Negative earnings growth (-61%).
3D Systems (DDD)
Positives:
Good revenue growth (31%).
3D printing is a hot industry (like, "electric car" hot).
Negatives:
Expensive 100 P/E, though forward 35 P/E is slightly better.
Negative earnings growth (-5%).
Heavily shorted (31%).

Stocks Of The Month: BLK, CNI
Two more dividend stocks have been added to the portfolio this month...raising the total number of stocks held to 40. A couple of years ago, I lamented that 36 stocks was too many keep track of. I'd like to think that these 40 are easy to own, probably because they represent high-quality investments. We shall see.
BlackRock (BLK)
Positives:
Has some $3.7T (as in trillion) in managed investments. A big fish, one might say.
Outstanding operating (37%) and profit (26%) margins.
Decent revenue (9%) and earnings (10%) growth.
2.6% dividend yield.
Negatives:
Somewhat frighteningly large. See "big fish" comment above.
Canadian National Railway (CNI)
Positives:
Outstanding operating (37%) and profit (25%) margins.
Steady, well-funded 1.7% dividend yield.
Warren Buffett likes trains, no doubt because they are a "moated" business.
Negatives:
Low cash ($0.1B), high debt ($7.6B).
Negative earnings growth (-28%).
Here's my current portfolio (growth, dividend, and speculative). As always, I believe in all of these stocks - until I sell them.
