Early yesterday, I ran a custom screen on The PPT, trying to identify stocks or ETF’s that were ripe for a bounce. Much to my surprise, not one equity was produced from the screen, just dastardly inverse ETF’s. Today, the top three stocks in my “Bottom Feed” screen are [[BGZ]] , [[EDZ]] and [[EEV]] . Without a word, foreign related stocks are being poleaxed.
At the present the Overall Hybrid score is at 2.31. Historically, whenever the score dips into the 2.20’s, the market bottoms out. We shall see, once again, if this indicator holds true.
The top three stocks, based solely on technicals, are [[JADE]] , [[BONT]] and The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company [[GAP]] . The top three, by hybrid score, are [[JADE]] , Sinovac Biotech Ltd. [[SVA]] and Ultra Clean Holdings, Inc. [[UCTT]] .
The top industry is Major Oil and Gas. Within that industry, BP plc (ADR) [[BP]] and Exxon Mobil Corporation [[XOM]] are top ranked.
The top three ranked ETF’s are [[MWN]] , [[PVI]] and [[SSG]] .
In addition, [[UUP]] is showing up on most of my bullish screens, leading me to believe the dollar can still go higher from here.
All of these things point to negativity. However, I do believe the market is oversold here. As a matter of fact, a reading of 2.31 is pretty darn close to the “must buy zone.” My sense, sometime very soon we will bounce, effectively depositing our bearish friends into the old “jam-box” for further analysis.
With my money, I am waiting for a little more carnage, especially because I am 80% invested. It is not a grande [sic] feeling, being on the short end of the money pole. Nonetheless, I can’t go back and forth between cash and stocks all the time. People, in real life, might get the wrong idea and think I am a freakin’ lunatic.
As an aside, the Board of Ed is giving away free h1n1 and flu shots to NYC students. This will be a catastrophe. It is unbelievable to me that the Board of Health could be swayed by a few stupid drug companies, allowing some experimental vaccine to be injected into students k-12. As far as I see it, they should be focused on having the children wash their hands more, than messing around with retarded vaccines that DO NOT WORK. I repeat, the flu shot is a scam.
Back to the market:
I am going into earnings with Jarden Corporation [[JAH]] . I do not suggest taking unnecessary risk, by copying my trade with Jarden Corporation [[JAH]] . Earnings season is always a gamble. There are no edges, only rolls of the dice.
