I will be out of town until Wednesday evening so there will be no new watch list additions or videos for Tuesday or Wednesday and this newsletter will be an abbreviated one.

Tuesday will be the day for the FOMC Policy statement when we see if the Fed will lower the rates and if so by how much. The actual wording will be very important also - well  at least for a day. The anticipation of the announcement and the expected rate cut has been keeping a bid under the market and no one knows if, as an example, a 25 basis point cut is priced in or a 50 point one etc. Only actually Wednesday will we know more as there is often a knee jerk reaction and just about as often this changes on the following day.

On Friday the markets started out with the sellers in charge but ended with a bullish bent especially for a Friday.

For the week the Dow gained 2.5%, Nasdaq 1.4% and the S&P 500 gained 2.1%.

Here were to top and bottom sectors for the week.

The Dow has done well from its low and would be a break out buy over 13,495 as that likely would lead it up 200 points at least. A move back under the 38% retrace line would also violate the trend and drop it back to the low from 2 weeks ago.

The Nasdaq floating in its island but above the 50-day still. A real break to the upside would be over the dotted line.

The NYSE similar to the Dow and the break out/down points shown.

Too bad that the Russell 2000 lost all it charm this year - we had a splendid 3 years of small caps and a ton of profits. Has been in this range almost 6 weeks.

Oil near highs.

Gold has made a nice break out just failing so far to make a hew high. The negative thing though is that gold stocks in general are not leading the charge. In the past - like in the winter of 2006 and a bit before, gold stocks were flying in front of gold - pulling it up with them. Now many are doing little which suggest that the gold price will top out.

The US dollar hit multi year lows and put in a little bounce on Friday. Seems rather oversold at the moment. The low dollar is good for US corporations who sell overseas but sure not good for US tourists who travel overseas. During the strong economy of the 90s the dollar was strong but the current economy is weakening and hopefully in time the rate cuts will help.

Some brief notes on story stocks.

NNRI consolidating this week but ending up for the week.  The company will make a seminar and presentation to the largest German utility company E.ON on Tuesday. I expect this company may become one of the large buyers of their shielding materials like FEECOM and BIECOM. If you have never read this report we recommend it as there is so much information on NNRF and what they are doing. Not many young companies have such a thorough reports. NNRF 45-page report Strategically Positioned for the “Dawn of a New Nuclear Age”

The stock broke out above the trend line and the 50-day this week. There had been only a couple of touches of the top trend line so a pullback happened as is common to once again test support which it did on Friday. The break out IMO is a pointer of what is to come and think we will see another one pretty soon. Each time this has pulled back in the last 2 months the support level has gone higher like a stair step and that is bullish.

PLTG - we pointed out that this was in a nice bull flag and it broke out on Friday. We have a Shareholder Update  on the company progress. This is from Mr. Blair Merriam, President & CEO Platina Energy. I think you will see the excellent potential in the company that is unfolding.

CYRX successfully was approved by the NASD to move to the OTC from the pink sheets so they began trading there this week. Now the company can release news  as they have it. Watch it for a break above the 50-day EMA as it is like a trend line and the stock could move quickly if it has good volume above there.

CFPC released very good news last week that they are entering the Chinese market with coffee shops. This week it has pulled back on much lighter volume and that is bullish in that the volume is low. Must have some real short term holders not wanting to make good gains by holding.

HSXI will soon release the  name of the joint marketing drug partner company. They will also start to manufacture the latest version of enSonix@home within about 21 days.

PYR.v sitting now as we wait earnings update. Good accumulation area.
