Last Sale Price $113.29

Rationale: We maintain our intermediate term Bullish technical stance on AAPL. A Jul '15 negative outside month pat-tern triggered a decline of nearly 32% from its Apr '15 all-time high (134.54). The ability to find support near its 50% retracement (94.78) from 2013-2015 as well as its 30-mo ma (93.25) generated a rebound back above its pivotal prior breakout at 100.73. While we note the technical damages incurred during recent decline the primary long-term up-trend remains intact as long as AAPL retains above 101/104 and 92-95. Key resistance is visible at 118-120 and 124.5.

Sector Healthcare

Last Sale Price $63.98

Rationale: Although there is limited data on ABBV (first started trading on Dec '12), the primary trend remains up and hence our cautiously optimistic Bullish intermediate term technical outlook. However, on a near-term basis, negative outside week patterns (7/24/15 and 8/21/15) warn of a correction. ABBV has declined 24.8% from its Jul '15 highs before witnessing an impressive rally back above its prior key support along the bottom of its uptrend channel (59-61). Based on the recent sharp setback a technical basing effort is necessary between mid-to-high-50s and mid-to-high 60s.

Sector Health Care

Last Sale Price $46.02

Rationale: We still recommend maintaining a technical bullish stance on ABT. Following a successful breakout of mul-ti-year accumulation pattern above high-20s in early-2012, the stock witnessed a gradual rise within a 4-plus year up-trend channel. In addition, an inverse head and shoulder pattern in the relative charts suggests a leadership name. That said, the recent 18.2% decline from its Jul '15 highs (51.74) appears to have stabilized near key support along 41-43 corresponding to key support along 30-mo ma and bottom of uptrend channel. Key initial supply is near 47-49.

Sector Technology

Last Sale Price $95.85

Rationale: We retain a cautiously bullish technical outlook on Accenture as long as it stays above its 5-year uptrend channel as well as its 2-year ascending triangle breakout near the mid-to-high 80s and the low-90s. Nonetheless, a negative outside week pattern on 8/14/15 led to 16.1% decline from Aug '15 highs before rallying off of the bottom of its uptrend channel (89) and its prior breakout (84-85). While we are encouraged by the successful test of support, a negative outside month warns of a trading range between mid-to-high 80s and the high-90s to the low-100s.

Sector Healthcare

Last Sale Price $308.01

Rationale: This leadership Healthcare name has also succumbed to the broad market decline 18.4% from its Jul '15 high (340.34). Nonetheless, the ability to rally from its key support near 280-290 or the Apr/May'15 lows, bottom of 2013 uptrend channel, 10-mo ma and continued relative strength readings support our favorable technical outlook. However, a negative outside day on 8/6/15, negative outside week on 8/21/15 and potential negative outside month warn of a maturing trend. Key support lies at 277.83-280 or Apr/May/Aug '15 lows. Key supply is 315-325.

Sector Technology

Last Sale Price $47.52

Rationale: The recent weakness is noted over the past few months as ADSK has failed to follow through on its 1-plus year ascending triangle breakout above 56.68. In addition, a potential head/shoulders top pattern, an 8/21/15 negative outside week and a subsequent Aug '15 negative outside month pattern hint of selling pressure. Nonetheless, the abil-ity of this stock to maintain above key support near 45 +/- 1 may prevent a deeper correction. Failure to maintain the mid-40s confirms a top and opens the door for a retest of longer-term support near low-40s or the 2009 uptrend.

Sector Healthcare

Last Sale Price $116.86

Rationale: A breakout of multi-year accumulation pattern above 60 in mid-2013 signal the start of an outperformance cycle. In due course, the sharp rally over the past 7-months has created an overbought condition prompting the recent pullback from its record high of 134.40 during Jun '15. A gap down on 7/6/15 first warned of a correction. The selling accelerated during the broad market on 8/24/15 as AET suffered a 30% setback declining to 93.51before stabilizing. While we remain optimistic intermediate term any violation of 108-110 can trigger a retest of Aug '15 low of 93.51.

Technical rating Neutral

Sector Technology

Last Sale Price $15.99

Rationale: Failure to clear above key resistance near the 38.2% retracement from 2000-2008 (26.40) and the Nov 2003 highs (not shown) have led to the recent 44.6% correction from Dec '14 high. In the process a number key supports in-cluding the 10-/30-wk ma (17.5/20.4) and the 2013 uptrend near the 22-22.5 have been breached. The Mar '15 negative outside month, a large gap down in Apr/May '15 and an 8/14/15 negative outside week pattern warn of distribu-tion/selling. Initial support lies near 14-14.25 or the Aug '15 lows. Initial supply lies at 17.77 (Aug '15 high & 10-wk ma).

Last Sale Price $114.14

Rationale: Recent failure to clear above the top of its 2009 uptrend channel (high-130s) and a negative outside week on 12/12/14 warned of a maturing rally. The ability to find support near its Oct '14 gap up and a positive outside week on 1/23/15 prevented a deeper setback earlier. Nonetheless, a weekly death cross sell signal and a recent negative out-side week on 7/24/15 prompted a 30.9% decline from Feb '15 high before witnessing a bounce back to current levels. Initial support lies at 105-106 or near the Oct '14 low. Key support is at 95.92 (Aug '15 lows) and then 90-92.

Sector Energy

Last Sale Price $70.94

Rationale: We retain a Neutral technical stance on this energy leadership name. Earlier, the ability to surge above the pivotal 2010 uptrend breakdown near the mid-to-high 80s has led to a technical rally to the mid-90s coinciding with the Nov '14 highs (95.93-95.98) as well as the 61.8% retracement (97.27) from the Aug-Dec '14 decline. Failure to breakout coupled with a negative outside day/week on 5/5/15 ignited a sell off. While a positive outside week on 7/31/15 can trigger a technical oversold rally; a 2-year head and shoulder top breakdown below low-70s confirms a top.

Sector Industrials

Last Sale Price $133.24

Rationale: A breakout of a multi-year technical accumulation pattern above 107.83 in 2013 still suggests higher prices and is possible, over time. A 79-point technical base breakout renders longer-term technical targets to 185-190. How-ever, on a near-to-medium term basis, the Nov '14 to Feb '15 rally has met its target of 159-160 prompting the recent correction. Also, a negative outside week (7/24/15) and increased market volatility led to a sharp decline to 115.14 or the extension of a 2-year channel. Key near-term resistance is evident near its Aug '15 gap down at 135-137.

Sector Cons. Staples

Last Sale Price $63.35

Rationale: This leadership Consumer Staples stock has also succumbed to selling pressure by violating the bottom of its 2011 uptrend channel at 64-65. Negative divergences between the price chart and the relative strength and MACD charts warn of further consolidation. Despite the positive outside week (7/31/15) pattern, a gap down on 8/24/15 led to heightened volatility. CL has fallen 29% from its Mar '15 highs and established a lower low of 50.84 (Aug '15 low) before witnessing a sharp rebound. That said, a negative outside month on Aug '15 suggests key supply at 63-65.

Last Sale Price $56.78

Rationale: A break out of the multi-year accumulation pattern above the mid-to-high 30s in September 2013 signals a bullish condition. A 25 point accumulation pattern suggests a target of the low-to-mid 60s (achieved) over the near-to-intermediate term. After establishing a high of 64.99 in Jul '15, three negative outside week patterns on 7/24/15, 8/7/15 and 8/21/15, respectively led to the recent 23% decline from its Jul '15 highs (64.99). While we remain optimis-tic on the longer-term technical prospects of the stock, we suspect another retest of key support at 49-51.5 is likely.

Sector Healthcare

Last Sale Price $62.52

Rationale: A breakout of a multi-year accumulation pattern above 18.96 (2005 highs) in mid-2011 and a subsequent breakout above 25.49 (early-2012 highs) in June 2013 support our longer-term bullish technical outlook. After recording an all-time high of 83 in Jul '15, two negative outside week patterns on 7/3/15 and 8/21/15 and a negative outside month on Jul '15 led warn of a correction. However, the recent 30.6% sharp decline has weakened the near-to-medium term trend as it is now testing key intermediate term support near the mid-50s. Key resistance is at 67-68.5 and 73.5-75.5.

Last Sale Price $26.00

Rationale: A rare fan formation breakout via 3 downtrends during late-2011, early-2013 and recently in mid-2013 is technically significant as this confirms a major trend reversal and a sustainable intermediate term recovery. Nonetheless, two negative outside weeks (3/6/15 and 3/27/15) and a large gap down in Aug '15 led to a 24% correction from its Mar '15 highs before witnessing stabilizing near 23. While we remain optimistic, a negative outside month on Aug '15 warns of further consolidation. Key resistance resides along the Aug '15 gap down breakdown at 26-27 and then 29.21-30.31.

Sector Cons. Staples

Last Sale Price $104.18

Rationale: A large channel breakout during late-2012/early-2013 led to a steeper 2-year uptrend channel. In the pro-cess, a positive outside month (Oct '14), positive outside weeks (11/7/14 and 12/19/14), a breakout above the top of 2012 channel at 88-89, gap up (1/8/15) and a positive outside day on 2/10/15 have propelled to record highs. After making a high of 113.65 in Jul/Aug '15, the stock reversed direction falling 28.4% (following multiple gap downs in Aug '15 and negative outside day on 8/3/15 and 8/6/15) before generating a rally to key initial resistance at 105.5-107.

Rationale: Despite a trading range over the past year, we retain a bullish technical view on DOW as a breakout above the top of an ascending triangle pattern in 2013 at 36-37 (shown above) suggests higher prices. Nonetheless, a death cross signal, lower lows and lower highs pattern led to a 34.7% decline from between Jul '15 and Aug '15 before wit-nessing a bounce back to current levels. While the trends have weakened during the recent setback we are encourage to find DOW maintaining the mid-30s or the 38.2% retracement from 2009-2014 rally and the mid-2013 breakout.

Rationale: The rally following a large gap up during Jul '14 failed to clear above the top of its 2013 uptrend channel near 31. A subsequent weekly death cross sell signal has led to the Jan '15-Jul '15 correction (-19.9%) as EMC has slipped back to the bottom of its 2011 uptrend channel. A 2-year head/shoulders top pattern warned of further volatili-ty. The stock has subsequently declined 19.1% into an Aug '15 low of 22.66 before witnessing a bounce to key initial resistance at 25.5-26. However, the Aug '15 negative outside month pattern still hints of further consolidation.

Rationale: We remain cautious on EOG based on the following: (1) the moving average death cross sell signal (10-wk ma crossing below 30-wk ma) in mid-2014 and again during 1st half of 2015; (2) violation of its Apr '13 uptrend near 97-98; (3) a negative outside month pattern on May '15; and (4) the onset of a large 2-year head and shoulders top formation. A break down below neckline support near low-80s led to a 15.8% decline from Aug '15 top. Initial sup-port move up to the Aug '15 gap up at 71.04-72.86 and then to the Aug '15 lows at 68.15-68.29.

Last Sale Price $25.16

Rationale: The 2000 downtrend breakout above 26.5 during Nov ‘13 (not shown) and a large gap up during 4/10/15 (25.83-27) are technically significant as this confirms a longer-term trend reversal. A subsequent Apr '15 positive out-side month pattern led to a move above 1 plus year downtrend channel. Nonetheless, the broad market sell-off in Aug '15 has led to GE declining 26.4% to a low of 19.37. A sharp technical rally back above its Jan '15 reaction low at 23.5-24 enables the resumption of the primary uptrend channel dating back to 2011. Key resistance is 28-28.68.

The stock then transitioned into uptrend channel via higher highs/high lows pattern. In due course a positive outside month in Oct '13 led to yet another breakout above low-500s. The stock accelerated and made a high of 615.03 by Feb '14 before witnessing a consolidation phase from over bought levels. A gap up in Jul '15 set the stage for yet another rally. A trading range is now likely between 585-595 and 713-725 over the medium term.

Last Sale Price $25.04

Rationale: The breakout above a 1-year accumulation pattern above 26 during late 2014 is bullish. However a failure to clear above its Apr/May '15 highs (31.34-31.60) coupled with a negative outside week (5/1/15) and a violation of the Oct '14 uptrend led to a death cross signal by mid-Jul '15. More recently, the stock suffered a sharp decline of 33.8% plummeting to an Aug '15 low of 20.93 or testing its Oct '14 lows. The ability to find support here has trig-gered a technical rally to key initial resistance at 25-26.25 or the 38.2-50% retracement of its May-Aug '15 decline.

Rationale: Although an inverse head and shoulder pattern in the long-term charts over a period of 12-years keeps in-vestors optimistic; a false breakout in the mid-30s or the upper end of the 2007-2009 uptrend channel warns of a Neu-tral trading range from a near-to-intermediate term perspective. Also, a death cross signal in early 2015 as well as a breakdown below its 1-plus year head and shoulder neckline support (high-20s) is negative. A violation of 25 opens the door to the low-20s or the 2010, 2011 and 2013 lows. Key resistance is 29-31or prior breakdown and 30-week ma.

Rationale: We maintain Bullish technical view on IVZ as long as the bullish trend starting from 2008/2009 lows remain intact. A move above 32.25 or the 2007 highs in early 2013 not only recovered all of its losses during the subprime crisis, but also completed a multi-year technical base breakout. However, the flattening of its key moving averages, the Dec '14 negative outside month pattern coupled with recent broad market decline led to a sharp decline to 31.03 be-fore recovering. Key support is 31-32. Violation here is negative and opens the door for a decline to 28-29/23-25.

Rationale: We maintain a technical Bullish outlook on JPM as it remains one of the leadership Financial name. The stock also suffered a setback of the magnitude of 29.1% from its Jul '15 highs or 70.61 to Aug '15 low of 50.07 be-fore generating an impressive rally back above its crucial support along 53 or 2013 technical breakout. Key initial re-sistance is visible 65-66 and above this to the recent highs in the low-70s. Given the sharp bounce we recommend traders raise initial support to 58-60 or the bottom of 2013 uptrend channel and the Mar/Apr '15 lows.

Rationale: While we have a limited trading history on this Consumer Staples name, the dominant trend remains bull-ish. On 3/25/15 the stock surged by over 35% after Heinz and Kraft Foods announced a merger to form the Kraft Heinz company. A large and potentially bullish flag pattern soon developed. However, failing to follow through with this breakout a subsequent large gap down occurred on 7/6/15. In addition, a negative outside week on 7/24/15, Jul '15 negative outside month led to retest of the Mar '15 low near low-60s. A trading range is likely between 70 and 76.

Rationale: We remain bullish on LRCX primarily due to its breakout above a large basing pattern dating back to 2000. The breakout (above 60) suggests targets into the mid-to-high 80s which was recently achieved during Dec '14/Feb/Mar '15 timeframe. In due course, the stock consolidated between high-60s and mid-80s before witnessing a breakdown below low-70s due to increased market volatility. The favorable relative strength versus S&P 500 Index and the ability to maintain key initial support near mid-to-high 60s can lead to the resumption of the primary uptrend.

Rationale: A key breakout during Mar ‘13 above an 11-year technical base (not shown) supports our longer-term bull-ish outlook. The 19.5% correction during Jul-Oct '14 and the ensuing technical basing efforts hint of the next major rally. The mid-May '15 breakout above 39.25-39.5 renders next upside targets to 47-49 or near the top of its 2008 uptrend and then 54/59. In the near-term, despite a gap up in Jul '15, the broad market correction in Aug '15 led to a sharp decline from 48.58 to 38.91 or -19.9%. A trading range is now likely between high-30s and mid-to-high 40s.

Rationale: Despite the near-term volatility, we maintain a bullish stance on MDT. This Healthcare name has confirmed a major breakout above its 2000/2006 highs at 60-62 in Jan/Apr ‘14. In addition, the positive outside months on Aug '14, Oct '14 and May/Jul '15, relative outperformance of the stock versus S&P 500 Index favor higher prices over the intermediate-to-longer term basis. That said, the setback during Aug '15 has led to a negative outside month pattern indicating a wide trading range is now likely between low-to-mid 60s and the mid-to-high 70s.

Rationale: Although the longer-term trend from the 2009 lows still remains favorable, the stock has become increas-ingly volatile over the near-to-intermediate term. This is depicted by a choppy trading range trend between the mid-40s and the high-50s over the past two years as well as a rising wedge. After setting a new high of 58.23 in Jun '15, a negative outside week pattern on 7/14/15 warned of a correction. However, we are encouraged to find this Financial stock find key support near the mid-40s coinciding with the 2014 lows. Initial supply lies at 51.5-53 and then 57-58.

Rationale: In 2013, this Pharmaceutical name broke out of a major 2000/2007 downtrend (not shown) along the low-40s. This action confirms the start of an intermediate term recovery. However, MRK has encountered major resistance near the low-to-mid 60s or the 2007/08 highs and 2014/15 highs. The ability to clear above key resistance in the low-60s can entice investors to return. Nonetheless, the Jun/Aug '15 negative outside month patterns, flattening key mov-ing averages and a break below 55 paints an increasingly cautious picture over the near-to-medium term.

Rationale: A breakout of a large 13-plus year Head and Shoulders bottom pattern above key neckline resistance at 37-38 (in 2013) drives our technical bullish outlook on MSFT. The 21-points technical base suggests upside targets to as high as 59-60, longer term. However after establishing a high of 50.05 in Nov '14 the stock entered into a high level consolidation between low-40s and high-40s. Despite a large gap up in Apr '15 and a subsequent positive outside month pattern, the Aug '15 negative outside month hints of continued trading range over the near-term.

However an overbought condition developed near the top of its 2013 uptrend which in turn led to 19.7% decline in Aug '15 before witnessing an equally impressive bounce from its Aug '15 low at 94.50. This leadership retail name is likely to set new all-time highs as it resumes its uptrend.

Last Sale Price $76.06

Rationale: A 5-year triangle pattern breakout (mid-90s) led to the Jul '14 highs at 118.76. However, this may have been a false breakout as SLB and energy stocks quickly reversed directions. The ensuing 36.34% decline from its Jul '14 highs has weakened the intermediate term trend. A 61.8% retracement from 2009-2014 at 67 provides key intermedi-ate term support. The ability to find support and the ability to stay above its Jan low at 75.6 may help to stabilize the recent strong selling pressure. Next key challenge (resistance) resides near 81-82 and then 85-87 or Jul/Aug '15 highs.

Rationale: Gap down on 01/12/15 and again on 3/26/15 weakened both the absolute and relative charts. In addition, a lower-low pattern on the price charts, a death cross sell signal and a negative outside month on Mar '15 coupled with continued relative weakness of this stock to SPX led to a sharp correction in the recent past. Having said that, a 59% percent decline from the July 2014 top from 108.77 and a falling wedge pattern hints of a capitulation sell off. Nonetheless, key resistance is at 56-57.5. A breakout here can trigger a recovery to the low-to-mid 60s.

Rationale: A breakdown below 2009 uptrend line (in mid-2013) and the longer-term relative underperformance of the stock to SPX merits a Neutral technical outlook. Although positive outside week patterns on 11/28/14 and 12/19/14 hint of a potential bottom, the failure to surpass the extension of the 2009 uptrend in the low-50s may lead to solidify a head/shoulders top. In the near-term, 6/19/15 positive outside week pattern and the recent broad market weakness has heled many defensive stocks such as SO outperform S&P 500 Index, at least from a near-term perspective.

Rationale: A surge above 39.63 in 2013 above its 2007 highs and neckline resistance of a large 2002 head/shoulders bottom pattern confirmed a major breakout. However, an overbought condition into the recent rally toward the low-60s coupled with three negative outside weeks (3/6/15, 4/24/15 and 7/24/15), rolling of the 10-/30- wk ma as well a small head/shoulders top led to a 27.5% decline from Mar '15 high or 59.99 levels. While the Aug '15 negative outside month pattern paints a cautious outlook the ability to find key support in the low-40s can signal a recovery phase.

Rationale: We recommend a Neutral technical outlook as a negative outside month on Jan '15 and a weekly death cross sell signal hint of an intermediate term top. More recently, a negative outside week on 6/26/15 and again on 7/24/15 coupled with a violation of the Oct '14 pivotal low at 96.17 confirms a head/shoulders top. The stock correct-ed 36.3% from Feb '15 highs (124.52) finding a low of 79.31 on Aug '15. Based on an oversold condition and key initial support at 79.31 a technical oversold rally is possible to key initial resistance along high-80s to low-90s.

Rationale: The July ’14 breakdown of 2012 uptrend and a death cross technical sell signal suggests a weak intermedi-ate-term trading range scenario. There is also significant resistance residing near 121-124 corresponding to a trend line dating back to late 1990s as well as the top of the 2008/2009 uptrend channel. In addition, a solid gap down on 07/21/15 further weakens both absolute and relative strength charts versus S&P 500. A move below Oct '14 low opens the door for further selling; potentially to low-80s over time. Initial support lies at 87.17 or the Aug '15 low.

Last Sale Price $77.55

Rationale: Our bearish technical outlook on VMW is based on the following negative developments: a Fan formation breakdown, a complex head and shoulders top pattern, a negative outside month pattern (Apr '14) and increased vola-tility via downside gaps (Mar/Apr/Oct ‘14 and Jan/Aug '15). Failure to convincingly clear above the extension of the third fan line near 100-105 has led to the recent correction. More recently, negative outside week patterns on 6/26/15, 8/7/15 and 8/21/15, Aug '15 negative outside month pattern warn of another major sell off below 74-76.

Appendix Term / Abbreviation Description / Definition

% +or- Moving

Average (DMA)

The percentage above or below the moving average (see Moving Average) is used to help measure an overbought or over-sold condition and is a component of risk management. It is calculated by taking the difference between the group price and its 30-week moving average (see below), and then dividing by the 30-week moving average times 100.

30-Week Moving Average

Also known as the 30-week line or 150-day line), this is one of the most popular and respected moving average indicators (see Moving Average) in technical circles. It is calculated by totaling the latest 30 weekly (usually Friday closing) prices and dividing by 30 to arrive at the average. Each week, the most recent week’s figure is added to the total, and the price level from 30 weeks ago is subtracted – hence the term “moving.” Please note that a breakout above or breakdown below this line does not, in and of itself, constitute a buy or sell signal.

Adjusted Relative Strength (ARS)

Number gives a 50% weighting to the 1-month relative strength, 30% to the 3-month, and 20% to the 6-month numbers to arrive at a single weighted number.

Base A chart pattern marking a period of accumulation following a downtrend. The larger the base, the greater the upside poten-tial following its completion. A base can take many forms.

Beta A measure of volatility of a security as it relates to the market as a whole. Beta is often calculated using regression analysis. A beta is basically the tendency of a security’s returns to respond to swings in the market. A beta of 1 indicates that the se-curity’s price will move with the market. A beta of less than 1 means the security will be less volatile than the market. A beta of greater than 1 implies that the security’s price will be more volatile than the market.

Blow off stage to a major rally

This is often the last stage of a speculative bubble to a major rally. The blow off phase tends to be steep, but short-lived that often affords little opportunity for investors/traders to exit their positions. As price of a security or an asset advanced to an unsustainable level via a parabolic uptrend this give rise to the bursting of the speculative bubble resulting a quick and dra-matic decline as investors/traders try to exit the market/security at the same time.

Breakdown A technical term indicating a downside resolution of a chart pattern. Its significance is determined by the same factors gov-erning a breakout.

Breakout A technical term indicating an upside resolution of a chart pattern. Breakouts can take many forms, and their degree of im-portance is determined by the significance of the chart pattern which preceded it.

Broadening Top For-mation

The Broadening top is a rare technical formation that resembles an inverted triangle pattern. It is formed by price swings that are increasingly widening and expanding volume. The most common of these broadening top patterns are the three ascending peaks and two descending troughs. The combination of wide price swings and increasing volume often convey an increasingly volatile and emotional market that's basically out of control. This pattern is often associated with market tops rather than market bottoms. The confirmation of the Broadening top occurs when the price violates the second of these two troughs.

Channel

A chart pattern comprised of two parallel trend lines, which form a trading band. Channels take the form of uptrend, down-trend and horizontal.

Death Cross The opposite of a golden cross, this is a crossover on the chart resulting from a security’s shorter-term moving average falling below its longer-term moving average. Technicians often see this as a bearish technical sign indicating the market has turned negative on the security.

Downtrend Line

A trend line connecting successively lower peaks for a stock (or market). Its technical significance is determined by the same factors governing an uptrend line.

Fan reversal pattern The fan formation is a technical pattern that is based on the use of multiple trend lines to denote a major trend reversal. The fan pattern gets its name as it basically resembles a “fan”. It should have a minimum of three trend lines (uptrends or down-trends). The break out/break down of the third downtrend/uptrend often completes the fan pattern and signals the start of a major trend reversal. The starting point of these trend lines should come from a significant peak or a significant trough.

Fibonacci Retrace-ment Level

A technical analysis term used to describe potential areas of support (price stops declining) or resistance (price stops rising) on the charts. After a strong rally or decline there is a tendency for a security to retrace a certain portion of its prior move (up or down). Fibonacci retracements use horizontal lines to indicate areas of support or resistance at the key Fibonacci levels before continuing in the original direction. These levels are computed by taking the two extreme points and then dividing the vertical distance by the key Fibonacci ratios of 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8% and 100%.

FSR Forecast Stock Return is defined as expected percentage price appreciation plus gross dividend yield over the next 12 months.

Gap

An open space in a chart created when a stock (or market) opens either higher than its highest level attained during the prior session (referred to as a gap up or an upside chart gap) or lower than its lowest level reached during the prior day (called a gap down or a downside chart gap). Some gaps are caused by events and should be ignored: ex-dividend gaps, new share issues, and expiration of futures contracts.

Appendix Term / Abbreviation Description / Definition

Golden Cross A crossover on the chart that involves a security’s shorter-term moving average (such as the 50-day moving average) crossing above its longer-term moving average (such as the 150-day or 200-day moving average). Technicians often interpret this crossing of two moving averages as a bullish technical sign that suggests the market has turned in favour of the security.

Head-and-Shoulders Pattern

This technical formation is one of the best known of the reversal patterns. There are two types of head-and-shoulders pat-terns that often appear on the charts – H/S top and H/S bottom. Both of these patterns often denote the process of a reversal either from a bullish or bearish trend. Head-and-shoulders formation often is comprised of a left shoulder, a head, and a right shoulder, and a line drawn across its shoulders defines its neckline. The breaking of the neckline to the upside confirms a head-and-shoulders bottom breakout, which signals the start of a bullish reversal favouring higher prices. The violation of neckline to the downside validates a head-and-shoulders top, reaffirming a bearish reversal of lower prices.

Internal Trend Line A single trend line connecting at least several high and low points for a stock (or market) over time.

Linear Regression Band

A common statistical technique often used by investors/traders to better forecast values by utilizing the least squares fit method to plot a trend line. A linear regression band consists of upper and lower bands. These bands are calculated by computing the number of standard deviations above or below of the regression line.

Moving Average (m.a.)

This is a technical indicator frequently used in technical analysis to show the average value of a security’s price over a set period of time. This tool is designed to smooth out a stock’s (or market’s) shorter-term fluctuations to provide a better picture of an underlying trend. Moving averages generally are used to measure momentum and define areas of possible support and resistance. Moving averages can be helpful as they emphasize the direction of the dominant or prevailing trend and also tend to smooth out price and volume fluctuations, or “noise,” giving the trader or investor a clearer picture of the security in ques-tion. Many moving averages exist.

MRA Market Return Assumption is defined as the one-year local market interest rate plus 5% (a proxy for the equity risk premium and not a forecast).

Neckline Sup-port/Resistance

This is a trend line that is drawn across the bottoms or tops of the left shoulder, the head and the right shoulder of a poten-tial head-and-shoulders bottom or top pattern. When prices break through this neckline support level and continue falling after forming the right shoulder, it confirms a head-and-shoulders top formation. Conversely, neckline resistance is a trend line drawn across the tops of the left shoulder, the head and the right shoulder. When prices break above this neckline re-sistance level and keep on rising, it typically completes the head-and-shoulders bottom pattern.

Overbought A technical condition in which the price of a security has risen to such a degree that the price becomes overvalued or has reached the upper band of its trading range resulting in a potential pullback in price.

Oversold Opposite of Overbought. A technical condition that occurs when the price of a security has fallen to such a degree that the price becomes undervalued or has reached the lower band of its trading range prompting a potential rally.

Positive/Negative “Outside” Day

When one day’s range (high and low) exceeds the prior day’s range, and the stock (or market) in question closes near its daily peak, this is referred to as a positive “outside” day. A negative “outside” day would be recorded if the stock (or index) finished near its daily low after having a wider range than the prior session. The same rule can be applied on a weekly and monthly basis as well.

Relative Strength

Relative strength is a performance comparison between a sector, group, or stock and the S&P 500 Index over a specified time frame. Our time frame is often a one-, three-, and six-month basis but does vary according to investment orientation.

RRD Rating/Return Divergence is automatically appended to the rating when stock price movement has caused the prevailing rating to differ from that which would be assigned according to the rating system and will be removed when there is no longer a divergence, either through market movement or analyst intervention.

Support An area where increased buying interest is likely to develop during a decline. These points, which can take several forms (minor, major, etc.), often provide downside protection for an issue in a primary uptrend, but only temporary relief to an issue in a primary uptrend, during which time many support levels are often broken.

Top A chart pattern marking a period of distribution following an uptrend. The larger the top, the greater the downside potential following its completion. It, too, can take many forms.

Triangle Patterns There are three different types of Triangle patterns – Symmetrical, Descending and Ascending. Symmetrical Triangle is con-sidered to be a continuation pattern that often signals a period of consolidation in a trend followed by a resumption of the prior trend. It is formed by the convergence of a descending trend and an ascending trend. An Ascending Triangle is a bullish pattern, which is denoted by two trend lines – a flat trend line and an ascending uptrend line. A Descending Triangle is a bearish pattern. It is the opposite of the Ascending Triangle in that there is a flat trend line and a downward sloping down-trend line.
