Recap of the US Stock Market Action for the Week Ending June 19

US stocks rallied into the close last Friday led by banks and big cap techs.

"This Bull Market is in the early stages,” Hugh Johnson, who manages more than US$1.5B as chairman of Albany, New York-based Johnson Illington, said in a Bloomberg Radio interview. “The numbers we’ve been looking at, with regard to the economy, pretty clearly indicate that probably in the Q-3 we’re going to have an expansion.” JPMorgan rose to the highest price in a week on the announcement saying it will cost less to repay government rescue funds than analysts estimated. Microsoft rallied after Goldman Sachs Group Inc. added it to its “conviction buy list” and Apple climbed after releasing a new iPhone. Commodity producers fell with Crude Oil and metals prices.

The S&P 500 added 0.3% to close at 921.23 on the day. The index was off 2.6% in its first weekly loss in a month, but closing above the Key Level of 919. The lagging DJIA shed 15.87 pts (0.2%) to close at 8,539.73, and the leading NAS tallied up + 19.75 pts (1.09%) to close at 1,827.47.

US Treasuries gained as traders bet losses that pushed 10-year yields to the highest in more than a week cannot be sustained. Ten-year yields increased 14 basis points last yesterday, the most since June 4. The US$ declined against most of its major counterparts as speculation the global recession is easing prompted investors to buy higher-yielding assets. It declined 0.4% to US$1.3952 vs. the Euro, from US$1.39 last Thursday. Crude oil for July delivery fell US$1.77 (2.5%) to US69.60bbl at the close trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Crude Oil futures have climbed 56% this year and are off 3.4% on the week last week.

Volume and Breadth: Volume was heavy on the NYSE, with about 2.13B/shrs changing hands, well above last year's estimated daily average of 1.49B/shrs, and on the NAS, about 3B/shrs traded, well above last year's daily average of 2.28B/shrs. Advancers outnumbered decliners on the NYSE by 1,868 to 1,117 and on the NAS there were 1,565 advancers vs. 1,084 decliners.

Note: The early leaders in a new Bull Market must be the banking and tech sectors. This action is proving my work once again.

On a personal note: In our continuing discussion with my friend last week, we all agree on what has been coming on strong in this rally, and it is not basic materials but Biotech and Life Sciences and sustainable energy in the sector rotation.

Again, the areas we believe likely to grow in strength and length are healthcare equipment, healthcare technology, and healthcare supplies (excluding healthcare facilities).

The most asked Question/s on the Week

The Big Q: Red, How do I select a stock to buy, sell or trade?

The Big A: There are likely as many ways to select a stock as there are folks selecting them, personally I prefer to have the odds in my favor. So, here are some fairly simple methods to help in the stock selection process. First, do not try to pick a bottom or to pick a top. Second, always try to trade in the direction of the market. Third, always try to have the odds on your side. If 70 to 80% of the market it trading up then do not look for stock that are trading down and vis-a-versa. When playing a Bullish Market, one of the

3

criteria for selecting a stock to buy is in an advancing sector, and be happy to take profit out of the middle of a move instead of trying to catch a bottom to buy.

A key way to select a stock is on purely technical events; for instance, a stock crossing a moving average where there are no fundamental considerations. Sometimes you may combine the fundamentals with the technicals where a company is paying a high dividend that has low debt and a price to book ratio less than 1, and although those fundamentals may look good you need a good technical entry point and a close by exit level in case the stock price goes against you.

Ask yourself some questions: What am I seeking in my trade or investment? Am I looking for a company that appears undervalued while paying strong dividends? Do I want a stock that is optionable? What exit strategy will I use? Have I considered what the upside appears to be and how does that compare to the risk I am taking?

Key is to think about what you intend to do before you do it. Again, plan your work and work your plan.

Remember, you never get poor taking a profit and/or cutting your losses.

Best Overall Quote/Article of the Week: Challenge yourself to find one good piece of good news every day…

Find Ways to Make Good News 05:32 PM Thursday June 18, 2009 HarvardBusiness.org By John Baldoni

Stephen Tyrone Johns died as he lived, helping other people. Johns opened the door for the man who shot him, a white supremacist who opened fire at the Holocaust Museum where Johns worked as a security guard. Friends and co-workers remember Johns, an imposing man who stood six-and-a-half feet tall, as a "gentle giant" who enjoyed his work and was well liked by others.

To its credit, CNN.com played the Johns story on its home page on and off for a day or so. Typically the victims don't get much coverage; only the killers. In the coming days and weeks we will still get our fill of information about the man who shot Mr. Johns, but it was heartening to see CNN go counter to this trend.

CNN's coverage also shows those of us who write and teach about leadership that while we cannot change the world overnight, we certainly can seek to change things within our own control. And so here's a suggestion for any leader who is wrestling with tough issues in these tough times: You should continue to address the impact of the financial crisis on your business, but you owe yourself and your people a break from the relentless progress of bad news.

Challenge yourself to find one good piece of good news every day, or every other day, and share it with your people. You will find these stories in the news at large but also in your company specifically. Share these stories with your colleagues. Going a step further, you might even consider making some good news, too. Here are some suggestions to spread some good cheer.

• Recognize a colleague for a contribution she has made and publicly thank her for it. • Spring for lunch for the team; nothing fancy — pizza and sandwiches will do. • Hand out coupons for free movie tickets or DVD rentals.

5

• Sponsor a community volunteer day, e.g. give people a day off to work in their communities. • Create opportunities to share positive work experiences and lessons learned in your team

meetings.

Spreading good cheer will not save your department from further cutbacks; it will not help your company be a more formidable competitor. It may not even save your job. But what it will do is get you in the habit of thinking more positively. That has its virtues. Not only will you brighten the lives of those with whom you work. You will also train yourself to approach your own job with a more optimistic attitude.

This Week’s 10 11 Big Stories + In View

In View: Dads get less than Moms Consumers in the US will spend 27% less for Father’s Day than for Mother’s Day why? Well, because neckties, T shirt and back yard barbeques cost less than flowers and restaurant dinners. The average amount spent on gifts for these special holidays since records began to be kept in 2002 say Moms are always in the lead according to Kathy Grannis, a spokeswoman for the National Retail Federation. US shoppers plan to spend US$91.00 for Father’s Day on June 21 this year, compared with US$124.00 for Mother’s Day this past May 10, according to surveys for the NRF, a trade group based in Washington. This year average spending on Dads may fall 3.9%, compared with an 11% drop for Moms as consumers tighten their belts this year. “If you are looking to trim dollars, mentally it is easier to do that for Dad,” Pam Goodfellow, a senior analyst at BIGresearch in Worthington, Ohio, said in a telephone interview. The firm conducted the survey for the NRF. “Dads understand we can do a cookout as opposed to Mom or Grandma, who always prefer to be taken out for lunch or dinner.” Moms usually received flowers, a restaurant meal, jewelry or a gift card, according to a survey of more than 8,000 consumers conducted March 31 to April 7. Dinner in the Back Yard or a Ball Game rank highest for Dads, followed by clothes, gift cards and electronics, a May 5-12 survey showed.

1. Biggest Shift in U.S. Health Care May Emerge in 45-Day Sprint The largest expansion of US health care since the creation of Medicare in 1965 may emerge from legislation designed to reshape the medical industry and change how Americans receive and pay for care. Congress today begins crafting legislation that Democratic leaders plan to push through both chambers by their August recess. The measure may require all Americans to get medical insurance, force insurers to accept all patients and end the tax break for employer-paid health benefits. These changes may be hammered out with unprecedented speed at the urging of President Barack Obama, who four days ago said, “this is the moment.” Obama has made a health-care overhaul his top domestic priority, using his February budget proposal to call it a “moral” imperative to extend coverage to the country’s 46 million uninsured. Obama also tied the long-term fiscal soundness of the US to controlling medical costs. Health care consumes 18 percent of the US

6

economy and may rise to 34% by 2040, the White House Council of Economic Advisers reported June 2. “I don’t think we’ve ever had anything this large in American history aimed to go this quickly that touches everybody’s lives,” said Robert J. Blendon, a professor of health policy and political analysis at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in a telephone interview. “They’re moving at a pace we’ve never seen before.” The US will spend more than US$2T this year on health care, the Health and Human Services department reported in February. Today, the Senate Health committee will begin debating a bill that includes “gateways” where consumers may compare coverage plans. The Senate Finance Committee later this week will unveil a bill that among its provisions will call for taxes on health benefits, and House committees will release a draft of their own comprehensive measure that would create a government-backed plan to compete with private insurance.

2. Individual Investors Not Fueling Recent Rally The conventional wisdom is that retail investors, and not institutions, have powered the market’s rally off the March 2009 lows. Not so, says Charles Biderman, CEO of TimTabs Investment Research. The firm tracks the flow of money in and out of mutual funds. Since the start of May, he says, “U.S. equity funds have taken in a modest US$7.1B” despite improved performance. Instead, retail investors are plowing money into bond funds. Moreover, Biderman says that individuals did capitulate in the heat of the crisis, having been burned twice in the last ten years. The retail investor is not in the market yet, but history tells us that they will be, Biderman expects them to come in to the market in 2010.

3. The Rally's fate hinges on the US Fed's action and continuing growth in home sales The economic outlook is improving, but US stocks' rally that began in March may run into an obstacle or two this week as investors will assess data on new and existing home sales that could point to whether the battered housing sector has bottomed, and they will keep an eye out for profit forecasts or warnings as Y 2009 Q-2 comes to a close. The US Fed is expected to leave rates unchanged after its two-day meeting ends Wednesday, but investors will check its statement for clues on the central bank's economic outlook going forward.

4. Moody's warning on California debt stuns state The State of California struggling to close a US$24.3B budget gap faces the prospect of a "multi-notch" downgrade in its credit rating if the state's legislature fails to act quickly to produce a budget, Moody's Investors Service warned last Friday. Moody's decision to place California's general obligation debt on alert for a possible "multi-notch" downgrade stunned state officials. The state's current A2 credit rating is Moody's sixth-highest investment grade and makes California the lowest rated of the 50 states. The A2 rating is just five notches above speculative status and Moody's raised the potential for the rating to tumble toward "junk" status if lawmakers fail to quickly produce a budget for Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to sign. A downgrade could push California's borrowing costs up at time when state officials expect to issue up to US$9B in revenue anticipation notes as soon as possible after a budget agreement is notched, a deal whose timing is in doubt.

5. Apple’s Investors Get Used to Life Without Steve Jobs Apple Inc. shares have climbed 63% since Chief Executive Officer Steve Jobs went on medical leave, signaling investors are confident

7

the maker of the iPhone can succeed without its co-founder at the helm. Jobs turned over day-to-day operations in January 2009 to operating chief Tim Cook may give up the CEO job permanently when he returns later this month. Jobs, a cancer survivor, could take a new position, possibly as Apple’s Chairman, letting him guide the company with less scrutiny of his health. Apple has not disclosed the exact nature of Jobs’ medical condition. He said on Jan. 5 that he was suffering from a hormone imbalance and announced nine days later that his health issues were more complex than he thought. Cook and a team of product and marketing executives have raised their profiles in Jobs’ absence, unveiling updated Macintosh computers and iPod media players. The company also is releasing a new iPhone today, generating buzz even though Jobs, 54, did not introduce the device.

6. US exports to Iran up in Obama's first months Iran spent nearly twice as much on US imports during President Barack Obama's first months in office as it did during the same period in 2008, showing that despite trade penalties and tense relations, the two countries are still doing business. The US exported US$96MM in goods to Iran from January through April, according to an Associated Press analysis of U.S. government trade data compiled by the World Institute for Strategic Economic Research in Holyoke, Mass. U.S. exports to Iran totaled US$51MM during the same period in 2008 and US$27MM over those months in 2007. Soybeans, wheat and medical supplies -- all considered humanitarian items exempt from US trade sanctions are among the top exports this year. Humanitarian shipments are an example of the tricky line the United States has walked in dealing with Iran -- even more so during Iran's election protests. Obama has proceeded carefully when commenting on uprisings in Iran over President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's disputed re-election, saying he shared the world's "deep concerns" but that it wouldn't be productive "to be seen as meddling." In allowing exports of necessities such as grain and medical supplies, the US has tried to send a message to the Iranian people that it is a friend to them and has no interest in punishing them for their government's policies. At the same time, by helping Iran feed and provide medical care to its population, Washington can't help but provide an unintentional benefit to the Tehran government.

7. Incentives add shine to China solar drive Beijing's bid to boost the solar energy sector could draw more than US$10Bin private funding for projects and put China on track to become a leading market for solar equipment in the next three years. Shares of US listed Chinese solar firms such as Suntech Power Holdings, the world's biggest crystalline solar panel-maker, have risen strongly on expectations China will soon unveil more cash incentives to develop solar energy. China, the world's top greenhouse gas polluter, is trying to catch up in a global race to find alternatives to fossil fuels, blamed for carbon emissions affecting the planet's climate. Any cash perks for the sector will help drive demand for solar energy systems and create bigger businesses for companies involved in the entire solar supply chain, says Julia Wu, an analyst with research firm New Energy Finance. Top panel-makers including Trina Solar, Yingli Green Energy Holding Co and JA Solar are expected to benefit, while solar wafer-makers such as LDK Solar could gain from related business opportunities."China could potentially be the top market for solar. Companies up and down the supply chain should benefit," said Wu. Beijing is considering enhancing cash incentives at a time when European states including Germany, one of the largest solar markets, are pulling back on spending to slow industry growth. Nearly 10 yrs of subsidized prices have made Germany among the largest markets for photovoltaic panels, which transform sunlight into electricity, producing solar giants including Q-Cells AG and Conergy..

8. Consumers’ eye values as well as value in recession Consumers are still putting environment and ethical issues at the heart of their spending decisions in the recession, even if they have cut back on some higher priced "green" goods like organic foods. Shoppers are flocking to environmentally friendly products sold at competitive prices and are often making more frugal choices with a view to their environmental benefits, such as cutting down on packaging and waste. They are also still prepared to pay a premium from green goods when there are long-term savings to be made, as with energy-efficient light bulbs, and when purchases are being made to last for years, like electrical goods and cars. The challenge for retailers and their suppliers is to come up with more affordable, eco-friendly products without hurting profit margins that already squeezed in the recession.

9. Goldie free of government but not Warren Buffett Last week Goldman Sachs Group Inc. settled its US$10B debt with the US taxpayer; now what will they do about Warren Buffett? Last year, Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc. invested US$5B in Goldman and acquired preferred shares and warrants to buy common stock, making Buffett's presence large, because of his reputation for integrity and as one of the world's savviest investors. So what will Buffett, now the 2nd wealthiest man in the United States do? "Basically not much," said Vahan Janjigian, author of the book “Even Buffett Isn't Perfect.'" He has a history of making fairly large investments in these kinds of companies and sitting back and letting the management team run the company." Janjigian expects Buffett to sit tight as Berkshire collects US$500M of annual dividends on the preferred shares and earns paper profits on accompanying warrants to buy an additional US$5B of common stock at US$115/shr for up to five years.

10. Geithner Defends Plan to Give Fed Stepped-Up Powers US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner defended the administration’s proposal to give the Federal Reserve increased powers in his first public tussle with lawmakers skeptical whether the central bank is up to the job. Advocating for President Barack Obama’s regulatory overhaul on Capitol Hill, the Treasury chief faced repeated questions from senators who cited previous regulatory failures at the Fed and potential conflicts with its monetary-policy duties. “The Federal Reserve is best positioned” to oversee the biggest financial companies, Geithner told the Senate Banking Committee in Washington, adding that the Obama plan gives the Fed only “modest additional authority.” Most central banks around the world have some responsibility for monitoring systemic risks, he said. Obama’s plan calls for the Fed to monitor the biggest, most interconnected banks, sets up a new agency to oversee consumer financial products and brings hedge funds and private equity firms under federal supervision for the first time. The central bank, which supervised Citigroup Inc. and Bank of America Corp., has come under fire from some members of Congress for its secretiveness and lack of public accountability. The administration also wants to put an additional check on the Fed’s emergency lending power by requiring the Treasury to approve its use in advance, Geithner told the panel. He also said the new consumer agency will take away Fed authority over mortgages, credit cards and other issues.

11. Volkswagen sees positive Q-2 results Germany's Volkswagen will have a "positive result" in the second quarter and would consider giving sports car maker Porsche a loan if asked, VW's chief financial officer Hans Dieter Poetsch said last Saturday. "We will surely end with a positive

9

result," Poetsch told Reuters, referring to the second quarter."We've reduced volumes and inventories which is why we have a strong cash flow. In the second quarter we will continue on this path. Net liquidity will remain at a high level," he said on the sidelines of a conference in Bayreuth. Net liquidity in the first quarter was more than 10 billion Euros. Poetsch added that VW, Europe's largest auto maker, is also on track to having a "positive result for the full year."Many other carmakers around the world are running big losses due to a collapse in sales caused by the global economic crisis.

12. The S&P 500 headed North The benchmark S&P 500 index .SPX should surge back to its October 2007 record above 1,500 by the end of 2012, provided the US economy sees a V-shaped recovery, JPMorgan Chase Chief U.S. Equity Strategist Thomas Lee said last Wednesday. "The global economy is in the midst of a synchronized recovery," Lee said at the Reuters Investment Outlook Summit. "If we end up with a V-shaped recovery, we could go back to our record high of 1,500 in 2011-2012," he added, referring to the S&P 500. The S&P 500 fell 0.4 % to 908 last Wednesday. Lee also reiterated his year-end 2009 target of 1,100 for the S&P 500, saying the United States will likely come out of its recession some time this summer, followed by the rest of the developed world. In October 2007, the S&P 500 hit a record closing high of 1,565.15, before falling back. In March of this year, it slumped to a 12-year closing low, but has since rebounded by about 40 percent on hopes the recession that begun in December 2007 was moderating. Lee added that a market correction in the wake of the recent run-up would be "healthy," and could lure back investors who opted to sit out the recent rally. "This rally has left many investors uninvested or underinvested. The pullback is the entry point to really see more meaningful money put to work," said Lee, who has been named a top analyst in Institutional Investor magazine's annual all-star poll. He favors the financials, industrials, technology and consumer discretionaries sectors, in that order, saying the sectors would be the biggest beneficiaries of an economic recovery. Within financials, he favors asset managers. The S&P financial index .GSPF is up 84% since the broader market's 12-year low on March 9. "We are still favoring cyclicals over defensives," said Lee. Even so, he was mindful of potential risks to the recovery."The biggest risk is that we're implicitly assuming the consumer is stabilizing. There's a lot of potential shocks. If oil goes to US$100 bbl, you can't have a recovery," said Lee, adding the other risk would be if savings rates somehow overshoot.

This week's Big Story: Hot Topic: BRIC Dollar Bonds Beat Ruble, Real, Yuan Debt as Medvedev Frets For all the criticism of the US currency by leaders of the so-called BRIC nations, dollar bonds sold by the largest emerging-market countries are outperforming debt traded in Reais, Rubles and Yuan. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, Chinese President Hu Jintao, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva called for a “more diversified” monetary system yesterday to reduce dependency on the world’s reserve currency. The four leaders met in the Urals city of Yekaterinburg, where they planned to discuss buying each other’s bonds and foreign exchange, said Arkady Dvorkovich, Medvedev’s top economic adviser. “It does not up to politicians to determine which currency will be the world reserve currency,” said Lutz Karpowitz, a currency strategist at Commerzbank AG in Frankfurt. “In the end the market decides it.” Dollar bonds sold by China earned 11.4% in the past year, more than double the 4.6% for debt in Yuan, JPMorgan Chase & Co. indexes show. Brazil’s US currency bonds returned 3.6% as real-based notes lost 4.9%, and Russia’s dollar bonds outperformed with a 1.9% loss compared with a 7% in Ruble debt. India does not have US$ denominated debt

Really Big Story: Switzerland strikes tax deal with the USA Switzerland and the United States have reached agreement on a double taxation treaty, the Swiss finance ministry said last Friday, this is a key step toward its removal from a list of tax havens. Switzerland, whose private banks manage around US$2T of foreign wealth, aims to secure 12 new bilateral tax deals by the end of 2009 which could allow it to be removed from an OECD "grey list" of states which need to improve tax cooperation and avoid possible sanctions from G-20 nations. Talks with Washington are crucial for Berne as US authorities have accused Swiss bank UBS of helping rich clients to hide money in secret Swiss accounts. UBS is losing clients because of the bad publicity. While the Suisse/US agreement had never been dependent on solving the case against UBS, it could prove difficult to force through parliament without a solution, a spokesman for the Swiss Finance Ministry said.

Big Breaking Story: TechM renames Satyam as Mahindra Satyam (SAY.N) After two days of deliberations on drawing up the road map for the fraud-hit Satyam Computer Services at the 'Leadership Meet' that concluded yesterday, Tech Mahindra has given the IT outsourcing company a new brand identity -- Mahindra Satyam. The logo will be adopted from the Mahindra Group. “This rebranding exercise symbolizes an amalgamation of the Mahindra Group’s values with Satyam’s fabled expertise, even as it retains that part of Satyam’s identity which signifies commitment, purpose and proficiency of the organization and its people,” Anand Mahindra, vice-chairman and managing director of the Mahindra Group, stated in a press release today “This is a significant milestone towards the recovery of the company (Satyam). We are optimistic that this new brand will re-energize the organization and will be well received by all our stakeholders. With this initiative, we will witness steps by the management to adopt and inculcate the values of ‘performance and customer first’, ‘good corporate governance and citizenship’, which are drawn from the Mahindra Group. With this synergistic approach, Mahindra Satyam will learn from the best management practices of the Mahindra Group while focusing on nurturing Satyam’s innate skills and capabilities,” said Vineet Nayyar, executive vice-chairman on the Satyam board "In terms of professionalism, we have always sought the best people for the job and given them the freedom and the opportunity to grow. We will continue to do so. We will support innovation and well reasoned risk taking, but will demand performance. Customer is first... We exist and prosper only because of the customer. We will respond to the changing needs and expectations of our customers speedily, courteously and effectively," the release said.

On the World Scene: Developing world leaders show new power at summits

Leaders of emerging world powers discussed reducing reliance on the United States, as well as boosting security and trade, at two summits last Tuesday hosted by Russia but excluding the West. The range of topics on the agenda and the line up of presidents attending showed the growing economic and political power of the world's emerging nations, including India and China, and their desire to forge new levers of influence. Host president Dmitry Medvedev of Russia hailed the Urals city of Yekaterinburg as "the epicenter of world politics." The need for major developing world nations to meet in new formats was "obvious," he said. The BRIC nations of Brazil, Russia, India and China called for reform of international financial institutions, sweeping changes to the United Nations to give a bigger role to Brazil and India and a "stable and predictable" currency system.

At the Movies: 'Proposal' accepted at the box office Sandra Bullock comedy knocks 'Hangover' to No. 2 Moviegoers said yes to Disney's "The Proposal" during the weekend as the debut of the female-skewing romantic comedy topped the North American box office with an estimated US$34.1MM, knocking the hard-partying guys of "The Hangover" into 2nd place. Sony's "Year One," Harold Ramis' burlesque of the early history of mankind and the weekend's other new wide opener, found it tougher going. Unable to

overcome strong holdover business from "Hangover" and "Up," it had to settle for a fourth-place showing of US$20.2MM. Among exclusive openings, Woody Allen's "Whatever Works" worked just fine. The Sony Pictures Classics release bowed on nine screens, grabbing US$280,720 for a per-screen average of US$31,191. After several weekends in which the domestic box office was down from year-ago frames, ticket sales finally registered an uptick, performing 3%-4% better than they did last year at this time, when the debut of "Get Smart" led the list with a US$38.7MM opening. The holdovers certainly helped. Falling just 18% as it took in US$26.9MM in its 3rd weekend, Warner Bros.' "Hangover," with a cume of US$152.9 MM, hit the $$150MM mark faster than any other R-rated comedy. It took just 17 days to establish the record, besting "Wedding Crashers" by 10 days, and is positioned to play well into US$200MM territory. Disney/Pixar's "Up" also continued to glide along. Ranked third during the weekend, it attracted US$21.3 MM , bringing its cume to US$224.1MM as it sailed past the final gross of last summer's Pixar hit "WALL-E." The PG-13-rated "Year One," starring Jack Black and Michael Cera, debuted in 3,022 theaters. Its 4th place finish and US$20.2MM opening was in line with expectations, Sony said. The low-brow comedy played heavily male (57%), with 47% of its audience under 21. Sony's thriller "The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3," entering its 2nd weekend, took the fifth slot as it dipped by 52%. Its weekend haul of US$11.3MM raised its cumulative gross to US$43.3MM. In 9th place, the second weekend of Paramount's Eddie Murphy comedy "Imagine That" dropped by 44%. After collecting US$3.1MM its cume is a mere US$11.4MM Rounding out the top 10, Fox's "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian" ranked 6th with US$7.3MM and a cume of nearly US$156MM.

The Samurai Archer’s POV on China's Commodity Buying Spree

Strong buying by China has helped lift commodity prices around the world this past Spring, but some evidence suggests that a sizable portion of this buying has been to build stockpiles in China, At least 90 large freighters full of iron ore are idling off Chinese ports, where they face waits of up to two weeks to unload because port storage operations are overflowing. Yet actual steel production from that iron ore is recovering much more slowly in China, and Chinese steel exports still remain weak.

Commodities and shipping executives report that the Chinese are stockpiling a range of other commodities, including aluminum, copper, nickel, tin, zinc, canola and soybeans, and starting last April, China began stockpiling significant quantities of Crude Oil. China's goals vary. Chinese companies have bought iron ore heavily on the spot market in anticipation of higher prices in annual contract talks now nearing completion.

The Chinese government has been stockpiling Crude Oil and some metals for strategic reasons, and bought huge quantities of aluminum and canola to insulate domestic producers of these goods from falling global prices over the winter. Those extra purchases beyond China's daily needs have helped reverse the price collapse in commodities that followed the economic downturn last fall. "China's strategic stockpiling and replacement of lower-quality domestic production with higher-quality imports have supported the recent rally in prices for many base metals, but we will not see a sustainable turnaround in demand until the major economies of the U.S., Europe, and Japan recover," said Terry Fanous, a senior vice president in Sydney for Moody's, adding that the leading economies were not likely to recover until next year.

The Standard & Poor's GSCI, an index of global commodity prices, has risen 41% from its low on Feb. 18,2009, but is still less than half its record, set on July 3, 2008.

13

One of the best leading indicators of international trade in commodities is the Baltic Exchange Dry Index, which measures the daily cost of chartering a large freighter. While the Standard & Poor's GSCI has continued to rise in the last week, the freight index has fallen by a fifth in that period.

The list showed ship owners charging US$58,000.00 a day now but just US$24,000.00 a day for charters next year or in 2011, an indication that there will be more ships than cargoes in the years ahead, particularly with shipyards still finishing vessels ordered during the recent boom.

According to J.P. Morgan, China's iron ore imports were 33% higher in April than a year earlier. Crude Oil imports were up nearly 14%, aluminum oxide imports climbed 16% and refined copper imports jumped 148%. Imports of coal soared 168% as Chinese utilities bought more foreign coal while trying to negotiate better prices with domestic producers.

Assessing steel demand recently has become a subject of almost obsessive interest among many shipping executives and economists as a barometer of emerging markets' health and as an indicator of demand for everything from iron ore to ships to cars.

Sanjay Mehta, one of the four managing directors of Essar Global, the huge Indian multinational in steel, shipping and other heavy industries, estimated that North American steel mills were operating at 50 to 60% of capacity, Chinese steel mills at 70% of capacity and Indian steel mills at 100% of capacity. The resilience of the Indian economy is helping to sustain demand for commodities too, Mr. Mehta said. He suggested that part of China's purchasing over the last several months represented an effort to rebuild inventories that were drawn down during the autumn and winter.

Prices of many commodities have jumped sharply in recent months, spot Crude Oil prices, in particular, have doubled since late December 2008. That is driving up the price of gasoline and diesel in many countries, including the United States. Steel demand in China is already recovering for types of steel used in construction, Mr. Elman said. Local, provincial and national government agencies are ramping up investments quickly as part of economic stimulus programs, but demand has been slower to rebound for higher grades of steel used in consumer products, despite US$1 B in Chinese government incentives for the purchase of cars and household appliances, particularly by residents of rural areas. Some economists say they are bullish on commodities because they believe that the United States and European economies are on their way to recovery.

"The commodity price rally is for real," said Ajay Kapur, the chief global strategist at Mirae Asset, a big Korean financial firm. "I'm not expecting any huge correction from here."

Other executives, particularly in shipping, are less optimistic, and see signs of a bubble in freight rates, and possibly commodities, that may repeat the sudden rise and fall of prices last year.

"The past few weeks have been nuts and, rather than cheering this sudden comeback of the dry bulk market, I do have a considerable amount of concern that we are seeing the same bubble again," Kenneth Koo, the chairman and chief executive of the Tai Chong Cheang Steamship Company, another big Hong Kong shipping line, wrote in an e-mail message. "And like that past bubble, it's not going to sustain."

God Bless. KK

MARKET SENTIMENT

The Sentiment Indicators: These indicators are psychological indicators that attempt to measure the degree of bullishness or bearishness in a market. These are contrary indicators and are used in much the same fashion as overbought or oversold oscillators. Their greatest value is when they reach upper or lower extremes.

1. VIX: 27.99; -2.04 2. VXN: 28.3; -1.73 3. VXO: 26.54; -1.99 4. Put/Call Ratio (CBOE): 0.86; -0.08

Note: Are you watching the VIX? It is now telling us that we are moving back to a more rational market.

15

*The Market Volatility Index (VIX) measures the volatility of the market. A recent news story described it as "the options market's gauge of investor fear." Traders use VIX as a general inverse indicator of market volatility and sentiment. High numbers mean that there's excess bearishness, and low numbers indicate excess bullishness. The VIX is updated intra-day by the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), using Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (SPX) bid/ask quotes. It was created in 1993.

**The CBOE NAS Volatility Index (VXN) employs the same formula used to calculate $VIX, which is based on the implied volatility of S&P 500 index options. This formula is derived from a basket of put and call options. Some are out of the money, some in the money, and some at the money. The resulting $VXN represents the implied volatility of a hypothetical 30-day option that is at the money.

***The VXO is the ticker created to track the "original VIX" that was calculated using the prices of S&P 100 options. The new VIX uses the ticker $VIX and is calculated using the prices of S&P 500 options. The fundamental nature of the VXO is the same as the VIX, but it is less robust and not as simple as the VIX.

Bulls vs. Bears:

Bulls: the Bulls are at 44.8% down 47.7%, they have risen from just 36.0% six weeks ago.

For your reference: The Bulls bottomed in the summer of 2006, the last major round of selling ahead of this 2007 high, near 36%; 35% is considered Bullish.

Bears: the Bears are at 26.4% up from 23.3%, but way off the 37.2% and the 37.1% in mid-April as the market rallied.

For your reference: Bearishness hit a 5 year high at 54.4% the last week of October

What to expect this week, and down the line…

Healthcare is big in the news today, as it was big all week last week as there is strong effort by the congress and the administration to get the healthcare plan passed before the end of the summer.

So, given the NAS's leadership and the growing strength in healthcare, technology, the exchanges, and China, the sectors cannot be ignored as the money that is flowing augurs for big gains long term. That means, pay attention to these improving and good investment areas going forward.

Also, keep a eye on the economic calendar as there are several key reports on the health of the economy, including final readings for Q-1 GDP, the FOMC's Rate decision, Existing Home Sales and Durable Goods Orders. Notable companies reporting earnings this week include; today before the Bell results from Walgreen (NYSE: WAG), followed on Tuesday morning by supermarket operator Kroger (NYSE: KR) and software developer Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL) after the Bell. On Wednesday before the Bell Monsanto (NYSE: MON) and Rite Aid (NYSE: RAD) will report, followed that afternoon by Bed Bath & Beyond (NYSE: BBBY), and Nike (NYSE: NKE). ConAgra (NYSE: CAG) reports Thursday morning with Palm (NASDAQ: PALM) rounding out the week Thursday afternoon.

Again, pay attention as the market transitions and continues the up-trend.

Stay tuned… Red

PS: Savvy market observers are saying play the wrong side of a Barack Obama initiative (like healthcare reform) and you are likely to lose.PAE

In Canada: Molson Family Buys Canadiens, Regaining Control of NHL Team

Quebec’s Molson family regained control of the National Hockey League’s Montreal Canadiens, purchasing the 24 time Stanley Cup champions and the Bell Centre from owner George Gillett.

The Canadiens didn’t disclose terms of the agreement yesterday in a news release. ESPN said that the Molsons will pay more than US$550MM for the team and its arena in Montreal, citing unidentified people familiar with the situation.

“This is a very exciting time for our family and we are grateful to the many people and organizations who came forward to offer their collaboration in the development of our proposal,” Geoff Molson said yesterday in a statement.

The deal still requires approval from the NHL’s Board of Governors, which will probably vote in August. It would put the Molson family back in control of the team it owned from 1957-71. Publicly traded brewer Molson Inc. owned the club from 1978 until 2001, when Gillett bought a majority interest.

The brewer, now Molson Coors Brewing Co., had since been a minority owner, controlling about 20 percent of the Canadiens to Gillett’s 80%.

“I am fully confident that the Molson brothers, who have been a great part of the heritage of the club, will ensure the preservation and development of this great sports institution,” Gillett said in a statement.

17

NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman told the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. in Las Vegas that the sale is a positive one for the Canadiens, whose 24 Stanley Cup titles are equal to the combined total of the Toronto Maple Leafs and Detroit Red Wings, who rank second and third all-time in championships.

“They’ve been able to find people who are obviously passionate about the game and structure a transaction that makes sense for everybody,” Bettman told CBC. “That’s a real plus for the franchise and the fans in Montreal.”

Geoff Molson, a 38-year-old director of the Canadiens and Molson Coors, heads the investor group that submitted a bid for the team, the Gillett Entertainment Group and Montreal’s Bell Centre on June 10. He hasn’t participated in the team’s board activities during the sale process. Canadian media reports said other bidders included Quebecor Media Inc., Canadian businessman Stephen Bronfman and sporting goods executive Graeme Roustan.

“I’m very happy that a Quebec group won the bidding,” Quebec Finance Minister Raymond Bachand said in a telephone interview with Canada’s RDI television network. “The Molsons have deep roots in Quebec and they have been associated with the Canadiens for a long time. It’s a great transaction.”

The Canadiens had a 41-30-11 record this season and were swept by the Boston Bruins in the first round of the playoffs. ______________________________________________________________________

** Support, Resistance and Key Levels

Support and Resistance

Support and Resistance represent key places where the forces of Supply and Demand meet. In the financial markets, prices are driven by excessive Supply (down) and Demand (up).

Supply is synonymous with Bearish, Bears and Selling.

Demand is synonymous with Bullish, Bulls and Buying.

As demand increases, prices advance and as supply increases, prices decline. When Supply and Demand are equal, prices move sideways as Bulls and Bears tug it out for control.

Key Levels

Identification of Key Support and Resistance levels is an essential ingredient to successful technical analysis.

Even though it is sometimes difficult to establish exact Support and Resistance levels, being aware of their existence and location can greatly enhance analysis and forecasting abilities.

If a stock is approaching an important Support level, it can serve as an alert to be extra vigilant in looking for signs of increased buying pressure and a potential reversal.

If a security is approaching a Resistance level, it can act as an alert to look for signs of increased selling pressure and potential reversal.

If a Support or Resistance level is broken, it signals that the relationship between Supply and Demand has changed.

Red Roadmaster Market Insights on Crude Oil, Gold and Silver, and Currencies Crude Oil prices moving higher in 2009

Forex Technical Up-date

Nymex Crude Oil (CL)

Crude oil engaged in choppy sideway trading last week but closed below 70 level. While 66.79 support remains intact, daily MACD is now staying well below signal line and Crude Oil has also decisively broken near term trend line support.

The development suggests that a short term top should be formed at 73.23 and favoring the downside in the near term, targeting 38.2% retracement of 45.44 to 73.23 at 62.61.

On the upside, a close above 72.55 minor resistance augurs that the recent rally is still in progress and should target 38.2% retracement of 147.27 to 33.2 at 76.77 before topping.

In big picture, while a short term top might be formed at 73.23, there is no indication that rise from 33.20 has completed yet. Such rise is still in favor to extend to 38.2% retracement of 147.27 to 33.2 at 76.77, and possibly further to next key level of 90, (50% retracement of 147.27 to 33.2 at 90.23) But strong resistance should be seen there and at least from some deep pull back.

Though, a break of the 54.66 key medium term resistance turned support will indicate that rise from 33.2 low has completed and will turn outlook bearish for a retest of this low eventually.

The long term picture, note that the fall from 147.27 is treated as a correction, or part of the correction/consolidation to the five wave sequence from 98 low of 10.65. Downside target of 17.12/37.0 support zone is already met and the correction might have completed already. Sustained trading above mentioned 55 weeks and 55 months EMA will add some credence to this case and should target next key level of 90, (50% retracement of 147.27 to 33.2 at 90.23). This will remain the preferred case as long as Crude Oil continues to stay above 54.66 support.

. Global Gold and Silver trading higher in 2009

Comex Gold (GC) Gold fell to 926.5 last week before turning sideway. Initial bias is Neutral this week and some consolidation might be seen. But after all, further decline is still in favor as long as 962.4 resistance holds. Below 926.5 will target 61.8% retracement of 865.5 to 992.1 at 913.9 next.

On the upside, above 962.4 will suggests that decline from 992.1 has completed and will turn short term outlook bullish for 1007.7/1033.9 resistance zone again.

The big picture, recent development suggest that the move from 865 has possibly completed at 992.1 already, ahead of 1007.7/1033.9 key resistance zone.

Also it suggests that consolidation from 1007.7 is still in progress and break of 913.9 fibo support will bring the third leg down to test 865 support before completing the whole consolidation. Nevertheless, downside is expected to be contained by 801.5 cluster support (61.8% retracement of 681 to 1007.7 at 805.7) and bring resumption of rise from 681.

On the upside, a close above 992.1 will revive the case that rise from 865 is resumption of up trend rather than part of sideway consolidation. In such case, retest of 1007.7/1033.9 resistance should be seen next.

23

The long term picture, medium term consolidation from 1033.9 should have completed as an expanding triangle to 681 already. Rise from there is tentatively treated as resumption of the long term up trend from 253 and will target 61.8% projection of 253 to 1033.9 from 681 at 1160 after taking out 1033.9 high. A break below the above mentioned 801.5 cluster support augurs that consolidation from 1033.9 is still in progress and will delay the long term bullish case.

Comex Silver (SI)

Silver fell to as low as 13.93 last week before turning sideway. Some consolidation could be seen initially this week. With 14.425 minor resistance intact, another fall cannot be ruled out but downside potential should be limited as 13.63 is expected to hold in next fall.

On the upside, a close above 14.24 will flip intraday bias back to the upside and argue that whole correction from 16.25 has completed at 13.93 already. Break of the 15.54 resistance will confirm this case and bring retest of 16.25 high next.

The big picture, as long as 13.63 support holds, it continues to suggest the bullish view that move from 8.4 is still in progress and should extend further towards 100% projection of 8.4 to 14.63 from 11.725 at 17.94. Break of 17.96 projection target will build up the case that such rise from 8.4 is impulsive in nature and should bring retest of 21.44 high. Considering bearish divergence condition in daily MACD, below 13.63 will be the first signal that Silver has topped out. Further break of 11.725 will confirm that whole rise from 8.4 has completed.

More importantly, the corrective three wave structure will indicate that some more medium term fall should be seen, with risk of retesting 8.4 low, before completing the wide range correction from 21.44. .

The longer term picture, Silver's fall from 21.44 is treated as correction, or part of consolidation to the long term five wave rally from 4.01 and should have completed at 8.4 after being supported slightly above 76.4% retracement of 4.01 to 21.44 at 8.123. Focus now turns to 100% projection of 8.4 to 14.635 from 11.725 at 17.96 and decisive break there will build up the case that move from 8.4 was impulsive in nature, and thus favors the case that long term up trend is resuming. On resumption, the long term up trend should target 100% projection of 4.01 to 21.44 from 8.4 at 25.83 next.

. FOREX Currency Trading

EURUSD: Recovering On Hammer Formation Although recovery higher off a hammer formation the past week remains suggestive of a follow through higher, EUR still remains vulnerable while trading below the 1.4000 level and its medium term high at 1.4339. This view also enjoys the support of its potential head and shoulders pattern as well as its nearer term falling channel on the daily timeframe. Supports are situated at the 1.3805 level, representing its Jun 08'09 low which also falls within the vicinity of the 1.3793 level. These levels are envisaged to reverse roles and provide strong supports thereby turning the pair higher again just like the past week. If tested. However, if a cut through there occurs, the 1.3738 level, its Mar 19'09 high will be targeted where a break will highlight lower prices towards the 1.3480 level, its weekly 200 EMA. Conversely, though our overall medium term outlook remains to the upside on the pair, we have to see a decisive break and hold above the 1.4339 level to reverse the present downside threats and bring gains higher towards the 1.4719 level, its Dec 18'08 high and then the 1.4867 level, its Sept 22'08 high. On the whole, though biased to the upside in the medium term, EUR continues to be challenged by nearer term corrective weakness.

Red’s Edge and Rules to Play by…

There's never going to be a perfect time to trade. There is never a good time, never a bad time, just the time. But retroactively - it will always have been one or the other. By learning how to trade for yourself in any market you prepare yourself for any situation. That is the key to stock market success. Get started today on total control trading. Over my 30+ yrs playing the stock market in earnest I have learned that there are winning stocks that most traders and investors completely ignore and abhor. And when played right, these overly unappreciated issues often lead to huge gains, but it is all about timing.

There is no mystery here, you all know and/or have heard about “penny stocks” i.e. those that trade under US$5.00/shr on US markets (10’s of thousands of stocks trade on other world markets under US$5.00/shr and are not referred to in the same pejorative manner). This is a US Label (designed to diminish there value and keep you away, IMO). The fact is that there are many, many studies made over the years that prove that these stocks outperform the overall market, and when there is a steady new Bull Market, the little stocks (small caps, micro and mini caps) lead the Charge. As a class, they are the most undiscovered and underappreciated sector of stocks and the sector where the biggest chance big winners on a consistent basis. I call them Little Gems; they are indeed Wall Street's buried treasure for those who wish to go treasure hunting. Here, in the RedRoadmaster, I work to uncover solid, money-making companies whose shares are grossly undervalued and virtually undiscovered, and they sell for US $5 or less a share. And do not forget to always include some small, mini and micro cap (pennies and juniors) issues in your sights; they can give you explosive percentage returns like no others.

29

Savvy traders do not wait for the stock market to hit bottom, recover or get toppy; they do not double down or resort to tricky, desperation moves. They make simple moves on good data and bank some gains.

Do not think get rich, think get rich slowing, it works.

Even if you know absolutely nothing about how to start making a living in the stock market, and want to learn how to do it, the first step is to learn from someone who knows how to do it successfully. The stock market is about success, and the lifestyle that comes with it, but it must be done carefully, both by picking the issues and in the trading of them, because one wants to make money doing it independently and without stress.

You can’t reverse your “bad plays”, Breathe through your nose, count to 10 and focus on moving forward. You only move forward, and you only focus on what's ahead to win in the stock market game. You do not live in the scrapbook, and always take what the market gives.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step (Confucius); Download and read and study “Knowledge is Power,” the Stock Preacher’s e Book, its Free.

Always remember that it is wise to look at the risk first and decide how to manage it before ever entering a position. Yes, losses will be incurred; it is part of this and any business and not a bad thing if they are controlled.

Again, think “the "get rich steady" and not "get rich quick".

The Bull is charging again, and perhaps this is the best investing scenario since the early 80's. It is happening now and savvy traders and investors are positioned and in the action.

Have a great week, and stay tuned. All the best this summer, Red
