I Just Posted 11 More Past Big Winners. PLEASE STUDY THE CHART PATTERNS!
August 10, 2008
Until I see these chart patterns again, there is NOTHING FOR ME TO DO!!!!!!! I don’t trade for pennies. I like to make 300% in one month. I don’t then switch to daytrading during times like this because when it is time to go real big again you will have a warped sense when to sell and you will not have a SINGLE ONE of my 1999, 2003, 2004, 2005, or 2006 winners.
If you look at all my BEAUTIFUL MAX GREEN BOP charts and see those AMAZING gains produced via these incredible charts (which most of them were also CANSLIM quality stocks) and still think there is a better way well man….God bless you. Keep buying support and resistance. My methodology is proven to be of superior quality. This is why I have studied the greatest traders. So I can have stocks like this line-up my list of personal holdings.
Some of you need to go to 1999 and 2003 especially and memorize EVERY single one of those beautiful chart patterns. That way when this bear is over and a bull is ready THERE IS NO WAY YOU WILL OR COULD BE CAUGHT OFF GUARD. Those that make it through this–which will be only 10% of those that have opened an account within the past three years–will enjoy the next bull market unlike those that gave up. Most will give up. Are you?
I will be back later with a little look at our pathetic bounce that so many seem to think IS “the bottom.” Amazing. This is an olympics, oil drops, dollar rallies kind of rally. This is not an institutional investor led rally. Short covering baby. This is what short squeezing looks like. Not real accumulation. If this was the bottom, people would be saying that stocks were going to continue to crash for sure. I see the VIX, I see the put/call ratio, I hear the talking douche-bags on TV. It isn’t right for this to be a bottom. Everything is wrong. Bottom line, for this to be a volume, we are going to need to see a 3% to 5% up day on the Nasdaq where volume is 25% or higher than the day before, before I will believe this is a bottom. After I see that then I am sure I will find some of these.
There will be one more post before the market open. Aloha! For those reading this on another web site, please visit my website go to the longs drop down and select “past big winners.” There you can go into any year and see MY personal BEST big winners. To make the list they all have to have been larger positions when I went long. Small longs and complete ugly charts that did well are not listed. Another option on the past big winners page is to look on the right side of the column and from there you can go to the actual year that you want to go to to see my big winners.
In this market environment you are either learning or you are losing money!

Currency Pair Overview: Dollar Gains as Commodities Fall
August 10, 2008
The LFB submits:
Overall: Sentiment has apparently turned heavily towards the dollar’s favor, as the world seems to be turning to the greenback and away from commodities. The Reuters/Jefferies CRB Index fell to a four-month low, as projections of slower economic growth led traders to speculate that demand for raw materials will wane. Prices for copper, platinum and palladium declined as the dollar strengthened on Friday.
The euro fell by the most in eight years against the dollar. Traders are pricing in less chance of a rate increase from the European Central Bank after ECB President Trichet expressed concerns yesterday regarding European growth prospects by saying they would be "particularly weak" through the third quarter. During Thursday’s post-decision press conference, Mr. Trichet reiterated that the ECB currently has "no bias," which traders took as a sign that the bank would remain on hold through the September meeting when the ECB will also present its new growth projections.

Market Beater Douglas Lane’s 4 Picks - Barron’s Interview
August 10, 2008
Barron’s interviews Douglas C. Lane, President of Douglas C. Lane & Associates. The composite of his firm’s funds has soundly beaten the S&P 500 over the past 10 years in every timeframe.
Lane says he wouldn’t be surprised if the market tests its 2008 lows in 2009, but also notes that the biggest risk is missing the next leg up. Point in case: After hitting bottom in 1982, the market rose 60% over the following nine months.

Clearly Canadian Beverage Corp. (CCBEF, rated BUY)

Clearly Canadian Beverage Corporation (OTCBB: CCBEF) , based in Vancouver, B.C., produces & markets premium alternative beverages and products, including Clearly Canadian® sparkling flavoured water, dailyEnergy, dailyVitamin and dailyHydration and are distributed in the United States, Canada and various other countries. Since its inception, the Clearly Canadian brand has sold over 90 million cases equating to over 2 billion bottles worldwide. The new core product of Clearly Canadian sparkling flavored water involves six flavours, four of which are all natural with original taste. Those flavors are blackberry, cherry, strawberry and raspberry. These products are sweetened with pure cane sugar and ring in at 75 to 90 calories per 8 oz serving. There are 2 zero calorie options; blueberry and pink grapefruit. These are sweetened with sucralose (Splenda) as opposed to aspartame. The sparkling waters also boast of all-natural flavors and no preservatives in keeping with healthier diet trends without sacrificing the same great taste experience that Clearly Canadian consumers have come to expect.
Clearly Canadian enjoys an 80 percent brand recognition in the US on its flagship Clearly Canadian brand and recently announced a system-wide distribution agreement with Dr. Pepper/Seven Up Bottling Group, Inc., greatly increasing exposure and availability of Clearly Canadian products. Clearly Canadian includes private label business and co-branding in its revenue streams
Celebrity Spokesman
Clearly Canadian announced on June 27 that Steve Nash, two-time NBA Most Valuable Player, has entered into a worldwide product endorsement relationship with Clearly Canadian. This three-year exclusive agreement names Steve Nash as Clearly Canadian’s official spokesperson and appoints Mr. Nash to the Clearly Canadian Advisory Board.
Mr. Nash, a three time NBA All-Star and regarded as one of the great team players in NBA history, recently took the NBA’s Phoenix Suns to the Western Conference finals for the second year in a row. He was recently named one of the "100 Most Influential People" in TIME Magazine’s annual issue. His strong connection to Clearly Canadian’s home country was evident at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia where he passionately captained Canada’s national basketball team to a successful berth in the quarter-finals of the tournament.
Mr. Nash will energize the company and support its objectives of re-establishing its core brand of sparkling flavoured waters and launching exciting new product lines. He also plans to play a significant role in supporting Clearly Canadian’s recently announced Global Water initiative, in which the company aims to be directly involved in building safe drinking water systems in Central and South American villages. This initiative, which commences this year with projects in Guatemala and Nicaragua, is designed to help developing nations access safe and clean water.
Company History
Clearly Canadian Beverage Corporation revolutionized the beverage industry in 1988 with the introduction of its flagship brand, Clearly Canadian sparkling flavoured water — a premium alternative beverage with distinctive flavours and award-winning packaging.
New, more convenient, more contemporary packages also helped them stand out from the competition. Packaging has been extremely important to the success of Clearly Canadian ever since the brand first hit the shelves in 1988. The company’s original pear-shaped 11 oz blue glass bottle stood out dramatically in a sea of cans and plastic containers. An overnight success, brand Clearly Canadian was soon distributed nationally throughout North America and, in 1991, expanded internationally to Europe and Asia where the Clearly Canadian phenomenon began anew with consumers.
Over the years, Clearly Canadian Beverage Corporation has established a reputation for innovation, allowing the Company to differentiate its products in the marketplace. New products and dynamic packaging give consumers exciting new reasons to buy Clearly Canadian brands. Equally important, innovation gives retailers a compelling reason to feature the company’s products prominently on their shelves.
The NEW Clearly Canadian appears to be on a mission to retake the leadership position in the fast-growing market segment of "New Age Beverages." Clearly Canadian is using its well-established brand name recognition and its history of delivering great tasting, innovative products in order to compete for significant market share within this high-margin industry. With successful launches by competing products such as Monster, Red Bull and Vitamin Water, the revenue and profit potential of this New Age Beverage segment have never been better.
Clearly Canadian has recently entered into a comprehensive consumer awareness program with one of the most innovative advertising and communications group on the planet; The BrainStorm Group with offices in Toronto and Denver. Among many major client successes, BrainStorm’s expertise helped drive annual sales of a then, small beverage company called Mike’s Hard Lemonade from $5 million to north of $250 million in under 48 months. Prior to Brainstorm’s involvement, almost no one had even heard of Mike’s. Clearly Canadian on the other hand already enjoys 80 percent brand recognition in the US.
Alternative Beverage Industry
According to a recent report by industry trade publication Beverage Digest, the number of cases of soda sold in the U.S. has declined for the first time in 20 years. Soda sales for 2005 recorded 10.2 billion cases, off 0.7 percent from the previous year.
An industry expert quoted in the New York Times report on the Beverage Digest figures suggested that consumers are looking for greater variety and are finding it in the wide selection of sports drinks, fruit drinks, prepared teas, and robust energy drinks.
Since 1988, Clearly Canadian Beverage Corporation has built its portfolio of award-winning, premium beverages in the highly competitive $13.3 billion Alternative Beverage market. The company’s current brands include Clearly Canadian® Sparkling Flavoured Water and Clearly Canadian O+2® Oxygen Enhanced Water Beverage.
Clearly Canadian® Sparkling Flavoured Water
Clearly Canadian Beverage Corporation recognized the heightened demand in today’s marketplace for healthier food and beverage choices that provide a lower carbohydrate and calorie choice and still deliver on taste. They have reformulated Clearly Canadian to meet the needs of contemporary consumers while staying true to the legacy of the great Clearly Canadian flavours.
More in keeping with premium beverages, the new formulation is sweetened with a blend of sucralose (SPLENDA® Brand) and cane sugar, eliminating the use of high fructose corn syrup. New Clearly Canadian sparkling flavoured water is available in six natural flavours including, Blackberry, Cherry, Strawberry Melon, Peach, Raspberry Cream and Orange Pineapple.
The new formulation was initially launched in New York in April 2004 with Clearly Canadian’s newest distributor, Canada Dry Bottling Company of New York. The national roll-out of reformulated Clearly Canadian in the United States and Canada is now underway.
Clearly Canadian O+2® Oxygen Enhanced Water Beverage
Clearly Canadian Oxygen Enhanced Water has been formulated as a superior refreshment beverage, with a light, refreshing flavour and no carbonation. It is available in is available in three flavours.
Clearly Canadian’s unflavoured oxygen enhanced water beverage contains at least 300% greater oxygen than the normal concentration of oxygen naturally found in water.
Clearly Canadian Oxygen Enhanced Water two natural fruit flavoured choices, Fruit-Citrus and Berry-Citrus, contain at least 200% more oxygen than the normal concentration of oxygen naturally found in water

No Happy Ending for Auction Rate Mess - Barron’s
August 10, 2008
While markets seemed to take comfort from last week’s moves by Citigroup (C), Merrill Lynch (MER) and UBS (UBS) to buy back about $30B of illiquid auction-rate securities [ARS] from clients at face value, Barron’s Jacqueline Doherty says the mess is still far fom a happy ending. Here’s why:
- With about $220B in ARS still outstanding, look for regulators - bolstered by their initial successes - to go after more issuers, such as Credit Suisse (CS), Wachovia (WB) and Bank of America (BAC).
- Aside from potential losses arising from the buybacks (Citi estimates a $500M loss, UBS is looking at $900M, while Merrill says the impact won’t be material), the banks and brokers need to come up with the cash to finance the purchases. Most will likely have to sell debt.
- The deals do more for retail clients than institutional investors (Citi offered its ‘best efforts’ to help corporate clients with $12B in ARS, and UBS says it will buy back $10.3B by June 2010). Some large investors are already suing banks that sold them ARS, while others have thrown their weight around - and procured ’sweetheart deals’ of $0.90 on the dollar, vs. a street value of about $0.70.
Municipal ARS issuers have successfully exited and/or restructured more than half their $175B in ARS debt, and the trend should continue. Same for closed-end funds. Student lenders ($85B) and CDOs ($20B) that sold auction-rate debt have made little if any progress; the former, because it can’t sell new debt at low-enough rates to make it plausible, and the latter because of the deteriorating credit quality of the underlying.

Friday Was a Dollar Day
August 10, 2008
Richard Shaw (QVM Group) submits:
Friday was very much about the US Dollar. It gapped up and created a candle that suggests some backing and filling may be necessary.
It seems the bad news on the financial services front was trumped by the Dollar news.
Dollar’s Up, Oil Is Down: But Why?
August 10, 2008
Jack Miller submits:
TV pundits continue to say that the dollar is up because oil is down, while others say that oil is down because the dollar is up. Each of these statements are like saying that I walked to the store and my right foot got there at about the same time as my left foot, the two go together. The correct question where is the body going next. If the body turns around and comes home from the store, both the right foot and the left foot will follow.
The reality is that we only recently turned the body and took a few steps toward the store. Both our right foot and left foot are helping us get there but we have a long way to go. We may zig-zag along the way but the dollar is so low that US assets are very cheap, which means that foreign investors must buy dollars in order to buy cheap US assets.

Economic Report Summary: Housing Market Getting Worse, Not Better
August 10, 2008
Rising prices and sluggish income growth along with soaring initial jobless claims highlighted the week’s economic reports. Stocks and bonds ended with the S&P 500 Index up 2.9 percent to 1,296 (for a year-to-date total return of –10.9 percent) and the yield of the 10-year U.S. Treasury note fell 3 basis points to 3.94 percent. Rising inflation, the worst since Hurricane Katrina, was probably the most significant element of this report as the overall PCE price index posted a gain of 0.8 percent in June following an increase of 0.5 percent in May. On a year-over-year basis, overall inflation rose 4.1 percent, up from an annual rate of 3.5 percent the month prior. Economic Report Summary: Housing Market Getting Worse, Not Better
Tim Iacono submits:
Personal Income/Spending: Aided by $28 billion in government stimulus checks, personal income rose just 0.1 percent in June after a downwardly revised surge of 1.8 percent in May when almost twice as much government money was distributed. Overall spending rose 0.6 percent in June after a gain of 0.8 percent in May led by a 1.3 percent increase in nondurable items, a category that was dominated by increased spending on gasoline. Amid an increasingly weak labor market and meager wage gains, the effects of the government stimulus money are quickly wearing off.
