PAST TOP PICK

(Top pick Feb 13/04. Down 67%.) Monstrous collapse in 2000/2001. When this happens, it takes a long time to form a base. In a small uptrend right now which is probably just a correction for a recent drop. Has all kinds of problems.

DON'T BUY
Possibly forming another shoulder from an existing shoulder and head. Not sure, but doubts if it has much oomph.
WEAK BUY
Has had a very rough ride. Has been in a long downtrend. They have production, but are based in South Africa and the strong rand has hurt them. Interesting to nibble on. Speculative.
DON'T BUY
Yahoo, eBay and Amazon are stocks that are over owned by large institutions and are trading at 100 X earnings. As a rule of thumb, you will never make money at this multiple.

WATCH
An interesting chart. The long-term chart shows a large symmetrical triangle. This could indicate that top, or consolidation pattern. If it breaks to the downside, it could reach into the $20's, otherwise breaking to the upside means $90/100 area.
HOLD
The chart indicates a very powerful uptrend. Forming a good trendline and if it breaks down through, get out.
WEAK BUY
Like all golds, has had some problems of late. Seems to be trying to form a base now. Has to get over the $.75 line to really move.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
A firm, long-term bull on the energy sector. The stock is in a very good uptrend. Buy on any pullbacks.
PAST TOP PICK

(Top Short Feb 13/04. Down 9%.) The chart still shows a major sell.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Short Feb 13/04. No change.) The chart still looks somewhat negative.

BUY
Had quite a drop, but broke up through the trend line and is starting to establish a small uptrend. Volume seems to be positive.
DON'T BUY
On the fundamental side, has no idea why the stock is having such a struggle. Chart indicates a steady downtrend. At this price, the yield is just over 6%.
DON'T BUY
A little cool on retail stocks at this point. Signs indicate that consumer discretionary is rolling over.
