EARNINGS
Confession season is essentially over, without significant or major =
warnings. In another week we will start seeing actual results. First =
Call is expecting a meager 0.2% improvement in Q2 earnings for the =
S&P500 stocks, still better than the negative numbers seen for many =
quarters now. And for Q3 First Call expects earnings growth of 17.6% and =
29.1% in the Fourth Quarter. Of course, that is assuming we can accept =
and trust the accounting practices being used.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------=

ECONOMICS
Durable goods orders rose 0.6% in May, slightly better than expectations =
of a 0.5% gain, and improving on April's 0.4% gain. This was the fifth =
increase in six months, but was widely different by industry.

New home sales jumped 8.1% in May, hitting a record high (1.03 million =
annual units), and existing home sales close to a record high.

The FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) left interest rates unchanged, =
and indicated the risk to the economy is equally matched between =
economic weakness and inflation, thus leaving the bias at neutral.

Growth in 1st quarter GDP was revised up from 5.6% annualized to 6.1%, =
beating expectations for it to remain unchanged, and putting it even =
further ahead of the 1.7% growth in the 4th quarter.

Personal spending slipped 0.1% in May (expected to have been flat), =
while personal income rose as expected 0.3%.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------=
- -------

"M"
Reasons to worry (not in order of priority or importance):
Mid-East crises (Israel-Palestine)
India-Pakistan nuclear war (likelihood diminishing)
Lack of growth in earnings (but not declining)
Accounting Practices (hard to overlook with CEOs quitting/being =
fired/being arrested
More terrorism attacks
Wirehouse analysts hyping stocks while trashing them in internal memos
Weak dollar / further loss of foreign investment money in US stocks
Business spending still not picking up
Unemployment still high
Money flow to equity mutual funds negative
Japanese exports being hurt by strong yen (vs. US $)
Financial collapse of Japanese banks (less likely now that US economy is =
dragging Japanese economy higher)
Weak support for the Japanese Prime Minister continuing the pain =
avoidance, inaction to clean up their economy
Any major company that used Andersen as an auditor in the past several =
years
NASDAQ has undercut the September lows

Reasons to keep watching, and be ready (not in order of priority or =
importance):
Lots of reasons to worry
Corporate earnings likely to show strong growth by end of Q3
Lots of money on the sidelines
Sentiment turning more bearish finally
September lows being tested on indexes (or exceeded)
Consumers still spending
Unemployment improving, layoffs diminishing
Inventories at record lows, and must be replenished
Feds won't be raising rates until late in the year, or later
Xerox only overstated revenues by $2 billion, not the $3 billion =
estimated by SEC, or $6 billion reported by WSJ
Housing markets strong
NASDAQ has undercut the September lows
Economy improving at a non-inflationary rate

WORLEY'S WATCHLIST WANNABES
This list is in no way intended to recommend any stocks to the group. It =
is a part of my regular assessment of the health of CANSLIM's "M" and, =
as the name implies, only intended to identify some stocks with =
constructive chart patterns that may be worth WATCHING (and of course =
doing your own due diligence). I am employed in Operations by a US =
Broker Dealer, however everything presented by me is strictly my own =
ideas and in no way should be taken to reflect the views or opinions of =
my employer.

I typically list stocks with both RS and EPS ranking of 80 or better, =
and try to exclude stocks undergoing any merger / acquisition / buyout =
scenario. I also exclude those stocks I spot with earnings forecast for =
this year and next that are not at least close to 20%. I do no other due =
diligence, that is your responsibility. I will note any CANSLIM patterns =
I see, such as c&h, double (or triple) bottoms, or flat bases (shown as =
Bx where "x" is the # of weeks, IMO). I will also note LLUR (Lower Left =
Upper Right) even though it is not exactly a CANSLIM pattern.

The population of stocks I am reviewing this weekend reversed its =
decline during the past week and grew measurably. Daily lists were not =
even a page long at the start of the week, and nearly three pages by =
Friday. The across the board slide in all indexes, including small cap =
growth, has hurt a lot of otherwise good looking charts. Next week may =
show whether we once again get a FTD, and attempt to reverse this long =
slide in a bear market.

ACMR - nice cup formed
AMZ - LLUR
APOL - completed the cup, watch for a handle to form, but if market =
takes off may skip the handle, b/o failure then more likely
APSG - c&h
CECO - beginning of a LLUR?
DLTR - 9 week consolidation
EPIQ - RS only 55, good recovery on volume over the 50 and to the 200 =
dma, at pivot, owned and VR Fund
FNLY - B7
FSTW - confused chart, good growth, microcap, in my VR Fund
HLYW - saucer
HRH - B2
MMSI - nice b/o from the handle on Thursday on volume, held the b/o on =
volume Friday
MOVI - B3
MTH - double bottom, forecast under 20% but right industry
OVRL - double bottom, base on base, don't care just making me money =
(real and VR), at the pivot
SYPR - possible handle forming on short cup, in my VR Fund
WSH - B5, slight trend up

Happy Hunting,
