Stocks Making Some Moves

How Did We Measure Up?


Yesterday, there was a list published in a well known journal of stocks that had big moves. They published the good news... and the bad news. But, it was all good news for MarketClub members that were tracking these symbols. I decided to go through each of the published stocks (I did not remove nor add any). Here is the list...

Method of My Evaluation


â–º I took start positions from the last monthly triangle, and used weekly triangles for outs, ins, etc.
â–º I did not take into account setting stop positions
â–º Assumed that each open position could be liquefied
at analysis time of 1:20 PM on 8-14-07

MarketClub signaled moves for these stocks wonderfully...

Toll Brothers (NYSE:TOL) : + 0.50 /share, +1.6% Gain

How: We entered on a monthly trend change, March 1st @ 29.57. From there we used the weekly chart to exit and re-enter. We had 4 exit and re-entries within the same trend movement. Liquidated price= $22.50

American Real Estate (NYSE:ACP) : + 7.77 /share, +7.3% Gain

How: The monthly trend triangle was issued on 8-10-07 suggesting that traders take a long position @ 106.23. There were no conflicting signals on the weekly chart, so this position would simply be held. Liquidated price = $114.00

What to do in the market right now!!

Dear Trader,

What a week! What volatility! What should traders do?


This could be one of the answers you are looking for.

About two months ago we sent you an email that correctly forecast the up move in crude oil and indicated that it could potentially topple world equity markets.

We were right.

So what happens now ... is the move in crude over? Is the DOW in a tailspin, over or is it just a pause before new highs?

I have just finished a new video that takes a fresh look at crude oil and is a follow up to what many are calling my amazing June 13th video.

If you are concerned about volatility, if you are concerned about the economy, and according to our blog poll most traders are.

See our blog poll results on this page.

You will want to watch my new four minute video. It's an eye opener. The video shows you step by step how you would have fared in crude oil.

Watch it on us. There is no need to register, plus you will learn a valuable trading lesson.

Cheers,


Adam Hewison

P.S. Here is a copy of the email I sent you on 6/18

______________________________________________

Looking back two months ago we sent out an email to you.

Here's a copy of what we sent . The move has started with little or no fanfare, and almost zero media attention.

This is how the big moves start, they are usually off the radar screens of most traders and media pundits.

It is only when the move is almost over do you begin to see exhaustive coverage and market projections on all media outlets. Then it is too late.

This move, in this market will potentially create major problems for the world equity markets.

In my new video you will see, point by point what I mean.

The Theory of Stochastics:

Stochastics is based on the observations, thus, as price decreases, closes tend to accumulate ever closer to their extreme lows of the daily range. Conversely, as price increases, closes tend to accumulate ever closer to the extreme highs of the daily range. This concept holds whether you are working in a 1-minute, 3-minute, 5-minute, 15-minute, 30-minute, hourly, daily, weekly , and monthly time periods.

The Theory of Momentum:

The momentum oscillator measures the velocity of direction price movement. Momentum always changes direction (trend) before price changes.

This major SEC rule was designed to protect investors, now it is gone.

After safely protecting investors for over six decades a little known SEC rule was quietly removed on July 6, 2007.

With the removal of this rule all the rules of trading and investing in the market went out the window.

One of the reasons for the markets current volatility is a direct result of this rule change.

This major SEC rule was designed to protect investors.

With the removal of this rule, professional traders and hedge funds will be able to suck money out of the market and your portfolio in no time flat.

Why this rule that has stood the test of time since 1938 and was put in place to protect investors was removed is a big mystery.

Why now?

Here's what I suspect happened, some large hedge funds got together and lobbied to have this major trading rule removed.

It just that simple. Why else would the SEC act out of the blue and remove this very important investor safe guard?

You see, the hedge funds have not had a good time of it lately with sub par returns for the year. Now with only 4 months left to trade they are looking to catch up and find the next BIG SURE THING.

I suspect with this rule change the hedge funds have just been given the keys to Fort Knox.

I have just finished a new video that details how this new ruling will effect you. The video explains in every day language what you can do to protect your capital from the hedge fund gunslingers and professional traders.

Watch the video as my guest. No registration required.

After you view the video you will have the knowledge on how to protect your portfolio, while at the same time reducing your risk exposure.

Who knows, you might even start your own hedge fund.

Is subprime the tip of the iceberg that sinks the market?

Is subprime the tip of the iceberg that sinks the market?

Presenting the perfect financial storm

The market has known for months about the sub-prime problem and just like an ostrich it has buried its head in the sand. Traders have been blindly pointing to the positives earnings and global growth while ignoring the storm clouds ahead.

Here's what concerns me the most ...

HEDGE FUNDS

The growth of hedge fund has been nothing short of phenomenal. Look at this chart, did the rich people get it wrong?


Did all the smart people from Harvard climb on the bandwagon a little too late, while at the same time chasing too few deals that made sense?

Has Harvard who has 18% of its money in hedge funds become addicted to double digit returns?

According to the Wall Street Journal (8/1/07) edition, one hedge fund manager who graduated from Harvard lost 350 million dollars this past month for the Harvard Endowment Fund! Ouch, I guess tuition will be going up next year for Harvard.

(not Bill Gates)


All this leads me back to the subprime mess. Here we have a bunch of bright guys coming out of Harvard and Stanford and all the top business colleges coming up with exotic ways to create securities on bundled mortgages. On paper this idea looked great and worked out perfectly, but that is not how the real world of trading works. Theory and reality often collide in the marketplace. What looks good on paper can actually turn into a disaster in the market.

That bring us back to the Hedge Funds ... just how many esoteric and exotic deals have these guys cooked up that we don't know about ... yet??

The Fed has no clue on tracking what the hedge funds are doing. Why should they. If government can't keep track of 1.1 billion dollars paid to dead farmers how on earth are is the Fed going to track a hedge fund gunslinger.

My guess, and I'll use my friend Dennis Gartmans who writes the Gartman Letter, cockroach theory to illustrate this point: "if you see one cockroach you know there are more of them around".

In the coming weeks and months I expect we will see a lot more stuff hit the fan.

Is it time to run for the hills?

Read on and then decide on a course of action that works for you.

In the last twenty years we have had two major bear markets that have moved over 20% from peak to valley.

The first was in 1987 when the DOW dropped 36.1% in 40 days!

The next came in 2000 with the dotcom peak when the market dropped 23.9% in 436 days. The latter was more of a classic bear market.

There's really very little difference between a hedge fund manager and a regular investor. Both are driven by fear and greed. As human are genetical programed with these traits.

Now I think it is safe to say that hedge funds managers along with mutual fund managers are going to look after there own self interest in the markets. Which means they will be bolting thru the same barn door before the next guy. That is just how the market works.

Here's an amazing fact that just took place in June 14th, 2007. I still am in shock on this one. The SEC decided to repeal a rule that has been in place since 1938 that allows you to short a stock without having an uptick in the stock. What this means to me is that you can have a stock literally pummeled by massive amount of selling both from shorts and investors just wanting to get out thru the same barn door.

The question I have for the SEC is why now, and for what reason. What are these guy thinking?????

This one rule change alone from the SEC completes the scenario for a perfect storm in my opinion.

I did not talk about crude oil/ inflation/ interest rates you can see that here and in other parts of our blog using the search tool above.

Stay vigilant, listen and believe what the market it telling you. Remember, actions speak louder than words, and they slide faster than they glide.

Stay safe,

Adam Hewison

P.S. Last poll gave the bears a slight edge over the bulls after 180 votes cast.
