We’re also unloading American Italian Pasta Company (AIPC) and Lancaster Colony Corporation (LANC) this week. As I told you in last week’s Briefing, AIPC reported that its latest quarterly earnings rose 1,760%. Those are stunning results, but they added little in the way of momentum. If those profits aren’t enough to set this stock on an upward trajectory, then we’re better off selling this stock now and moving into a stock that delivers the breakout gains we demand from all our Quantum stocks.

LANC isn’t scheduled to report earnings until later this week, but the stock has barely budged since our initial purchase 14 weeks ago. With the gloomy headlines of today, there’s no guarantee that even a stellar report will get shares moving so let’s get out now.

Use the cash generated from these sells to fund our more powerful new buys.
