TIME TO BE ON THE DEFENSIVE Two recent excerpts from the Real Time Feed are worth repeating here. Twenty years of
historical data shows that when technical factors confluence in a
similar manner to the present confluence, there is a 67% probability of at
least a shallow
It is human psyche that we naturally want to buy when the markets are going up and sell when markets are going down. Successful investors do the opposite–they sell when the markets are going up and buy when the markets are going down. Buy low, sell high– is easier said than done. One of our purposes is to help our subscribers emulate the behavior of successful investors. Now we will review specific open positions that deserve your
immediate attention.
ADOBE SYSTEMS (ADBE)
The long term prospects of the stock remain bright -- we are simply interested in taking advantage of the volatility in the markets to maximize profits and reduce our risk. AMERIGROUP CORPORATION (AGP)
APPLE (AAPL)
CHESAPEAKE ENERGY
CORPORATION (CHK)
COEUR D`ALENE MINES
CORPORATION (CDE)
HERCULES OFFSHORE (HERO) We previously took profits on 50% of the position at $6.00. We are long from $2.25. The stock has almost tripled with the recent move attributable to Hercules buying assets of a bankrupt competitor on the cheap. Previously, we suggested exiting 50% of the remaining position around $6.85. Although several data services show that the stock traded as high as $6.99, our data shows that the trades over $6.80 were either erroneous or were not available to most of our subscribers. The stock traded quite a bit around $6.80. Unfortunately, our subscribers who had limit orders at $6.85 may not have received a fill.
HORNBECK OFFSHORE SERVICES
(HOS) We took profits on 50% of the position at $29.67. We are long from $13.00.
We are long on Netflix from $102.00. Now the stock is at $252.50. We are holding 5% of the full core position size. Our target remains at $273. During the last retracement, our stop proved to be well placed. The stock reversed to the upside without hitting our stop.

iSHARES MSCI TURKEY INVEST MKT INDEX (TUR): A LOW RISK WAY TO PROFIT FROM THE MIDDLE EAST, RISE OF RUSSIA, BOOMING COMMODITIES, STABILIZATION IN IRAQ, AND STRENGTH IN GERMANY
Potential Reward:
High The famed investor
John Templeton said, "Buy when there is blood in the streets." Our
subscribers see blood in the streets of Libya, Egypt, Bahrain., Syria,
and Yemen. Our investors are clearly very astute to consider allocating
to these countries with the hope of buying on the cheap.
The low risk way to play the Middle East is through Turkey. Turkey geographically straddles Europe and the Middle East.
GLOBAL FUND FLOW ANALYSIS SCREEN THEORY ZYX CHANGE SCREEN Here we make a determination - what is the probability of Turkey benefiting from the changes described above. Detailed Theory ZYX analysis is supportive of buying this stock. QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS SCREEN Stocks in Turkey are also comparatively cheap. The Turkish market is liquid, whereas Middle Eastern markets are mostly illiquid making it difficult to take large positions. It appears that if allocation to Turkey is heads we win, tails we win. TRIGGER EVENT SCREEN There are multiple triggers here, and that is very positive. The triggers are uprisings in the Middle East, stabilization in Iraq, economic strength in Germany, rise of Russia, and increase in commodity prices. TECHNICAL ANALYSIS SCREEN This screen is supportive of a purchase, provided there is patience to follow the ZYX Change Method Trade Management Guidelines. We will adhere to the discipline imposed by the ZYX Change Method Trade Management Guidelines. Small accounts should consider purchasing the stock in at least five tranches. Large accounts should accumulate in 20 tranches. This is a long-term position; there is no reason to rush into it. Our goal is to take advantage of the inevitable pull backs. Subscribers may consider putting in Good Till Cancelled (GTC) limit orders with their brokers at $62.76, $61.26, $60.11, and $58.51. Buy Zone: $58.51 - $62.76 Target Zone: $135.00 - $150.00 Stop Zone: $47.73 - $49.73 |

NEW COMPELLING BREAKTHROUGH IN BIOTECHNOLOGY Over a period of time, we have made a lot of money by properly understanding the impact of new breakthroughs in biotechnology. At times, investors have not fully understood the importance of a breakthrough, thus giving us an opportunity to build large positions before the relevant stocks moved up. At other times, the sharp Wall Street analysts immediately recognized the importance of the breakthrough, and the key to making money became waiting to enter at the appropriate pull back. The data released by Biogen Idec (BIIB) on its BG-12 drug for multiple sclerosis is a compelling new breakthrough. The companies affected in addition to Biogen are Teva (TEVA), Elan (ELN), and Novartis (NVS). Stay tuned to the Real Time Feed. POWER-ONE (PWER) In our last issue, we highlighted Power-One as the second largest manufacturer of inverters, primarily for solar power. The stock has been hit with bad earnings. Our analysis shows that long-term prospects remain bright. With the nuclear disaster in Japan, our prediction is that we will not see a new nuclear power plant built in the United States in our life time, and the growth overseas will come to a screeching halt. This development is a boost for solar power. Power-One is a low risk way to play solar power. We expect the next earnings report to be bad. If we are right, the stock will gap down giving us a great buy price. We are patiently waiting for all six screens of the ZYX Change Method to be satisfied before issuing a buy signal. |

| RECOMMENDATIONS NOT YET FILLED | |
|
EXELON (EXE) Exelon has the largest fleet of nuclear power plants in the country. If this stock gets hit, there will be a once in a life time opportunity to buy it on the cheap. Buy Zone: $24.00 - $27.00 Target Zone: $38.00 - $45.00 Stop Zone: $18.00 - $19.00 FINISAR (FNSR) Because of the market movements, we are removing this recommendation. iSHARES MSCI TURKEY INVEST MKT INDEX (TUR) Please see above.
Buy Zone: $37.00 - $40.00 Target Zone: $58.00 - $60.00 Stop Zone: $33.73 - $34.73 NEOPHOTONICS (NPTN) We highlighted this stock in a Quick Alert. This stock may turn out to be the best optical component play, especially if we can get our buy price in the range of $5.50 to $7.31 with an average around $6.30. Currently, only three of the six ZYX Change Method screens are positive. Buy Zone: $5.50 - $7.31 Target Zone: $15.0 - $16.90 Stop Zone: $4.45 - $4.95 NUANCE (NUAN) Because of the market movements, we are removing this recommendation. SHAW GROUP (SHAW) Shaw Group is the largest service provider to nuclear power plants all over the world. Fortunately, most of the Shaw Group's business is not nuclear. Shaw may benefit from remedial work at nuclear power plants. The stock traded within $0.61 of our Buy Zone. Those who took a slight liberty with the Buy Zone had over $8.00 in profits. We are sticking to the previously stated zones. Buy towards the lower end only if the stock gets hit hard. Buy Zone: $24.00 - $27.00 Target Zone: $34.00 - $36.00 Stop Zone: $18.00 - $19.00 SOUTHWESTERN ENERGY (SWN) This is our favorite natural gas name. On March 13, 2011, we issued a buy on the stock at $36.90. The stock has moved up to $43.49. Unfortunately, the price did not enter our Buy Zone. The stock is overbought right now. We will patiently wait for the price to enter our Buy Zone. Buy Zone: $30.50 - $32.60 Target Zone: $85.00 - $100.00 Stop Zone: $27.00 - $28.00 TEVA (TEVA) Teva is the largest generic drug maker in the world. Teva also has an MS drug. The stock is being hit on concerns of a potential drop in the sales of its MS drug due to the advent of competing drugs. For long-term investors, any significant dip will be a buying opportunity. We highlighted the exact buy points in the Real Time Feed on April 21, 2011. Buy Zone: $38.00 - $43.11 Target Zone: $73.00 - $80.00 Stop Zone: $33.48 - $34.69 |
