The stocks have become a bit bifurcated. The weaker players in the = industry have not been performing well (CTX, BZH, DHI, LEN etc), while = the leaders have been doing well (RYL, NVR). I consider this to be an = early sign of weakness, not strength, as the laggards have stopped = performing. 2. HOV and WLS have clearly broken uptrend lines in the last week. KBH = and NVR appear poised to do the same. 3. Vice Chairman of Toll Brothers, Bruce Toll, filed to sell 1 million = of his 3 million shares. (For accuracies sake, in a press release he = stated he has sold only 700k, and has no intention of selling the rest. = Whatever.) . There was additional insider selling in CTX this morning as = well. This goes hand in hand with all the other recent insider selling. These stocks seem to be highly inversely correlated with strength in the = economy (via interest rates).=20 I would be extremely careful if I was long these stocks right now. (I = am, in fact, looking for short entry points. HOV on a bounce is probably = a good entry point. Anyone have feedback/ ideas on entry points?) ON M: I am somwhat skeptical of this recent rally. Following up on my previous = post on M, note the action on the Russell 2000 today (-1.2%), as well as = IJS (-2%). I don't consider this definitive by any means, but I don't = consider it bullish that the leading indices (small cap orientation) = have continued their underperformance. In evaluating this recent rally = off the lows, IMO there have been several yellow flags, including: 1. = The markets never really washed out, as indicated by price/volume action = or sentiment. 2. The amount the indices gave back last Thurs and Fri. = after the Wed. rally. I would prefer to see less retracement, which = would be a subtle indication of underlying strength. 3. The distribution = day last Friday. Volume upticked only slightly, but nonetheless I would = prefer not to see a day like that in a nascent rally. 4. The follow = through day was not as strong from a volume standpoint on the Nasdaq as = at first glance. Normalize WCOM volume and you wind up with a 2 billion = share day, not a 2.5 billion day. 5. Yesterday was a distribution day on = the NYSE indices. While the volume uptick was not that large, and a = giveback after such a large advance is to be expected, I would still = prefer not to see that action. Also, volume on the Nasdaq, while lower = than on Wed, was not as much lower as a quick glance might indicate = (again, based on a normalization of WCOM volume over Tues and Wed). 6. = Underperformance of the smaller cap indices. The large cap indices got = way oversold, and could be expected to bounce. The smaller cap indices = never got oversold, and so wouldn't benefit from an oversold bounce. = IMO, we are witnessing a large cap bounce that is masking weakness in = the markets that the smaller cap indices are revealing. Of course, individual stocks should be monitored based on their own = activity (ex. CCRN).=20 Eric - -------------------------------------------------------------------------= - ------- Do You Yahoo!? LAUNCH - Your Yahoo!
