Notes
1. Watch Stocks are not stock tips but stocks that we have selected to monitor for a trend reversal. While selected stocks will therefore show considerable volatility they should provide many trading opportunities particularly if you get to know the stocks and chart their daily trading pattern.
2. Possible Trend Reversals are previous Watch Stocks that we believe have significant potential and could be at the initial stage of an upward trend.
3. Failures are stocks that we continue to like but the trend reversal may be erratic or have broken down.
4. As a rule of thumb a movement of 2% is required for a stock to move between the above categories.
5. Deletions are stocks that are being removed from our Top 50 Watch Stocks to make way for new additions and their deletion does not mean that we feel they lack further potential.
IMPORTANT: No specific buy or sell advice is given and our Watch Stocks should be just one tool in your arsenal of many. Until any downward trend has been reversed, buying highlighted stocks will carry additional risks. We recommend waiting for 10-15 minutes after open before initiating a trade. Please remember the old saying that amateurs trade the open while pros trade the close and that as a rule you should not chase after a stock nor should you fall in love with it. Also while all stock picks are subject to our disclaimer, Penny Stocks, particularly where trading volumes are low, can and will have greater price volatility. Remember, if trading was easy, everyone would be doing it and everyone would be rich.

MARKET REVIEW: Dollar maintains a firm undertone on speculation
of Fed rate hike
======================================================
Dollar continued to edged higher against the European currencies but was under pressure versus the Japanese yen on Wednesday. Investors unwound over-extended short yen positions, particularly against euro and cable. Sterling was particularly under pressure due to the minutes from the U.K. MPC meeting earlier this month expressed a dovish stance on the U.K. interest rate direction.
Euro and cable fell to 1.2283 and 1.8206 while dlr/chf rose to 1.2514. However, dlr/yen fell to 109.28 from an intra-day high at 110.18.
Thursday will see the release of German PPI, UK retail sales, as well as the U.S. weekly jobless claims and leading indicators.

Our Top 50 Watch Stocks – August 18, 2004 – updated daily

Notes
1. Watch Stocks are not stock tips but stocks that we have selected to monitor for a trend reversal. While selected stocks will therefore show considerable volatility they should provide many trading opportunities particularly if you get to know the stocks and chart their daily trading pattern.
2. Possible Trend Reversals are previous Watch Stocks that we believe have significant potential and could be at the initial stage of an upward trend.
3. Failures are stocks that we continue to like but the trend reversal may be erratic or have broken down.
4. As a rule of thumb a movement of 2% is required for a stock to move between the above categories.
5. Deletions are stocks that are being removed from our Top 50 Watch Stocks to make way for new additions and their deletion does not mean that we feel they lack further potential.
IMPORTANT: No specific buy or sell advice is given and our Watch Stocks should be just one tool in your arsenal of many. Until any downward trend has been reversed, buying highlighted stocks will carry additional risks. We recommend waiting for 10-15 minutes after open before initiating a trade. Please remember the old saying that amateurs trade the open while pros trade the close and that as a rule you should not chase after a stock nor should you fall in love with it. Also while all stock picks are subject to our disclaimer, Penny Stocks, particularly where trading volumes are low, can and will have greater price volatility. Remember, if trading was easy, everyone would be doing it and everyone would be rich.

MARKET REVIEW: Dollar rebounds on renewed rate hike
speculation
======================================================
Dollar gained ground slightly on Tuesday on renewed speculation that the Fed would likely hike the Fund rate by another 0.25% in September. U.S. housing starts and permits for July rose by 1.98 million units and 2.06 million units respectively, suggesting consumer spending in U.S. remained strong.
Although the headline CPI for July fell by 0.1% m/m against economists' forecast of 0.1% growth, the core CPI rose by 0.1% m/m, reflecting that mild inflationary pressure remained.
Therefore, Euro and cable retreated to 1.2308 and 1.8265 after rising briefly to 1.2390 and 1.8438 respectively. Dlr/chf rebounded to 1.2480 from an intra-day low at 1.2377. However, the greenback fell to 109.89 against the Japanese yen due to the softening of crude oil price.
Wednesday will see the release of E-12 inflationary report.

DAILY TECHNICAL OUTLOOK ON EUR/USD
======================================================
Last Update At : 2004/08/18 00:08
EUR/USD..1.2347..The single currency rose marginally to 1.2390 after the release of weaker than expected U.S. CPI data before retreating strongly due to profit-taking n euro subsequently fell to an intra-day low of 1.2308.
Although y'day's retreat fm 1.2390 (a spike) suggests a temp. top is possibly made n another day of choppy sideways trading wud be seen, as long as 1.2283 (50% r of last Friday's rally fm 1.2175-1.2390) holds, upside bias remains for upmove fm 1.1968 to resume later today or tom. n yield marginal gain to 1.2416, being 50% proj. of 1.2175-1.2390 fm 1.2308, however, as hourly oscillators wud display bearish divergences on such move, suggesting daily res at 1.2462 is expected to remain intact n bring correction.

Our Top 50 Watch Stocks – August 17, 2004 – updated daily
Monday saw markets rally, in part due to a moderation of oil prices, and with U.S. stock futures currently indicating a positive start to today’s trading yesterday could have been the start of an overdue technical rally. There is however a lot of economic data due for release before the opening bell including the Consumer Price Index and clearly that could impact on market sentiment.
While today we have only added one new Watch Stock please use the trading patterns of existing Watch Stocks to identify opportunities. Yesterday’s failures for example could bounce back particularly if there is some market strength and stocks such as MTRX that continued to slide yesterday look very interesting.
If you have any views or comments on any of our Watch Stocks please post them in the Forums section of our web site which can be accessed via the following link:

Notes
1. Watch Stocks are not stock tips but stocks that we have selected to monitor for a trend reversal. While selected stocks will therefore show considerable volatility they should provide many trading opportunities particularly if you get to know the stocks and chart their daily trading pattern.
2. Possible Trend Reversals are previous Watch Stocks that we believe have significant potential and could be at the initial stage of an upward trend.
3. Failures are stocks that we continue to like but the trend reversal may be erratic or have broken down.
4. As a rule of thumb a movement of 2% is required for a stock to move between the above categories.
5. Deletions are stocks that are being removed from our Top 50 Watch Stocks to make way for new additions and their deletion does not mean that we feel they lack further potential.
IMPORTANT: No specific buy or sell advice is given and our Watch Stocks should be just one tool in your arsenal of many. Until any downward trend has been reversed, buying highlighted stocks will carry additional risks. We recommend waiting for 10-15 minutes after open before initiating a trade. Please remember the old saying that amateurs trade the open while pros trade the close and that as a rule you should not chase after a stock nor should you fall in love with it. Also while all stock picks are subject to our disclaimer, Penny Stocks, particularly where trading volumes are low, can and will have greater price volatility. Remember, if trading was easy, everyone would be doing it and everyone would be rich.

MARKET REVIEW: Dollar recovers on stronger than expected asset
flows data
======================================================
Dollar recovered on Monday after Treasury's report on flows in U.S. assets showed enough of a rise in foreign investments to offset the current account gap for June. The net inflows totaled $71.8 billion, up from revised net inflows of $65.2 billion in May and higher than the expectation of $60.0 billion. Foreigners also showed good interests in U.S. securities and nearly doubled the inflow to $40.6 billion in June from $21.9 billion in May.
Euro and Cable retreated fm 1.2384 and 1.8468 to 1.2315 and 1.8380 respectively. The greenback also rose slightly to 111.01 and 1.2456 against the Japanese yen and Swiss franc.
Tuesday will see the release of German Zew, E-12 industrial production data, the U.S. CPI, housing starts, industrial production, as well as capacity utilisation.

MARKET REVIEW: Dollar falls broadly on worse than expected U.S.
economic data
======================================================
Dollar tumbled broadly on Friday due to the much worse than expected U.S. trade deficit for June and University of Michigan consumer sentiment index for August. The U.S. trade deficit widened to a record $55.8 billion in June, defying expectations for a slight widening to $47 billion, as exports dropped and import rose.
The Michigan sentiment index fell to 94.0 in August, from 96.7 in July and was much lower than economists' forecast of 97.5. The U.S. PPI for July rose by 0.1% m/m, also lower than expectations. The poor showing of U.S. economic data casted fresh doubts on the economy's recovery and the ability to draw foreign capital to fund the growing "twin deficit" gap.
The price of crude oil rose to a record high at $46.0 per barrel nad this was also seen as negative for the outlook of the world's largest economy.
Euro and cable rallied to 1.2275 and 1.8455 while the greenback fell to 110.46 and 1.2377 against Japanese yen and Swiss franc
respectively.
Monday will see the release of another batch of U.S. economic figures, including Empire State Index, net capital inflows and foreign treasury buying data. These reports are likely to provide more volatility for the U.S. unit.

Despite Friday's rise to 112.10, subsequent strong retreat suggests further choppy trading within triangle-like consolidation from 112.49 would continue and as long as 109.82 sup holds, bullishness remains for a strong rebound to take place later today but resistance at 112.10 is expected to remain intact.

WEEKLY TECHNICAL OUTLOOK ON USD/YEN
======================================================
USD/YEN - 110.60..Although the greenback rose to 112.10 due to much weaker than expected Japan's GDP data on Friday, sub-sequent strg retreat on a record U.S. trade deficit in June caused price to fall sharply to an intra-day low of 110.46 b4 trading sideways in U.S. session.
Despite Friday's selloff fm 112.10, the price action fm last month's high at 112.49 is 'possibly' developing into a broad triangle with a-leg:112.49-109.82, b-leg:112.10 n c-leg is now under way n as long as 109.82 sup holds, subsequent strg rebound is envisaged, however, a breach of 112.10 res is needed to confirm upside break has occured, yield resumption of recent upmove fm 107.02 for a stronger retrace. of the decline fall fm 114.90 to 113.20 (62% proj. of 107.02-112.49 measured fm 109.82) later this month.
Today, buying dlr on dips in anticipation of a rebound is advised with stop placed below 109.82, as below wud signal downside break has taken place instead n bring strg retrace. of aforesaid upmove fm 107.02 twd 109.11 (62% r) but price is expected to hold well abv chart sup at 108.10...

Our Top 50 Watch Stocks – August 13, 2004 – updated daily
Yesterday proved to be another very disappointing day with tech problems and high oil prices again impacting on market sentiment.
Well what about today? U.S. stock futures are certainly indicating that we could see a flat but positive opening to today’s trading helped by a solid financial report and outlook provided yesterday by Dell after the closing bell.
Please however remember that today is Friday the 13th, oil continues to hover at near record peaks and terrorist fears are once again to the fore. While another sell-off could therefore be on the cards, a technical rebound is overdue although whether that will happen without a trigger such as a huge market capitulation, is not known. Worth perhaps noting that the market's top was reached when 90% of stocks were trading above their 200 day moving averages and that this figure has now fallen to less than 50%. Also the short interest is now at enormous levels and the market, particular the tech sector, has had an almost uniform sell-off, irrespective of the quality of the company or its earnings.
Watch today for the release of several key economic indicators reflecting inflation (PPI) and the consumer (consumer sentiment).
If you have any views or comments on any of our Watch Stocks please post them in the Forums section of our web site which can be accessed via the following link:

Notes
1. Watch Stocks are not stock tips but stocks that we have selected to monitor for a trend reversal. While selected stocks will therefore show considerable volatility they should provide many trading opportunities.
2. Possible Trend Reversals are previous Watch Stocks that we believe have significant potential and could be at the initial stage of an upward trend.
3. Failures are stocks that we continue to like but the trend reversal may be erratic or have broken down.
4. As a rule of thumb a movement of 2% (can be over one or more days) is required for a stock to move between the above categories.
4. Deletions are stocks that are being removed from our Top 50 Watch Stocks to make way for new additions and their deletion does not mean that we feel they lack further potential.
IMPORTANT: Until any downward trend has been reversed, buying highlighted stocks will carry additional risks. We recommend waiting for 10-15 minutes after open before placing an order. Please remember the old saying that amateurs trade the open while pros trade the close and that as a rule you should not chase after a stock nor should you fall in love with it. Also while all stock picks are subject to our disclaimer, Penny Stocks, particularly where trading volumes are low, can and will have greater price volatility. Remember, if trading was easy, everyone would be doing it and everyone would be rich.

MARKET REVIEW: Dollar steadies on rising U.S. retail sales data
======================================================
Dollar fell briefly against major currencies on Thursday but rebounded in U.S. session as investors reckoned that the U.S. retail sales for July showed consumer spending was still growing at a healthy rate despite the number being below economists' forecasts.
The July sales rose by 0.7% m/m compared to the market expectation of a 1.1% growth. The June sales was revised to a fall of 0.5%, better than the previously reported decline of 1.1%. In addition, the weekly jobless claims came in at slightly better than expected at 333,000. However, geopolitical risk and higher crude oil prices limited the greenback's upside.
Euro and Cable fell from 1.2304 and 1.8370 to 1.2218 and 1.8195 respectively. Dlr/chf and Dlr/yen also rebounded fm 1.2508 to 1.2595 and fm 110.45 to 111.25 respectively.
Friday will see the release of Japan and E-12 GDP for Q2, U.S. PPI, University of Michigan sentiment, as well as Canadian and U.S. trade balance data.

DAILY TECHNICAL OUTLOOK ON GBP/USD

Last Update At : 2004/08/13 00:51
GBP/USD..1.8222..Despite cable's intra-day euro-led rise to 1.8370 y'day, active cross selling in stg led to a sharp fall to 1.8191 later in the day, however, as long as pivotal sup at 1.8150 holds, further choppy trading is envisaged within recent broad range.
Today, although cable is likely to remain under pressure in Asia after y'day's selloff, reckon steep fall below 1.8191 wud not be seen, bring rebound later for a retracement of the intermediate decline fm 1.8370 but 1.8300/05 (61.8% r) shud limit upside n yield retreat. Therefore, we will look to trade both sides of the market n buy stg on marginal weakness or sell if a recovery to 1.8300 is seen 1st.
Looking at the bigger , below 1.8150 wud signal decline fm 1.8774 to retrace the upmove fm 1.7480 (May '04 low) has resumed, bring re-test of 1.8085 n then twd chart sup at 1.8012. On the upside, a break abv 1.8370 wud suggest pullback fm 1.8475 has possibly resumed, abv 1.8407 wud confirm n bring a correction of aforesaid decline to 1.8510/15 (61.8% r of 1.8774-1.8085)...

Our Top 50 Watch Stocks – August 12, 2004 – updated daily
A further weakness in technology stocks caused in particular by cautious comments from Cisco plus continuing worries about the Russian oil giant YUKOS impacted on sentiment and resulted yesterday in markets once again closing in negative territory. Our own Watch Stocks were all over the place with the volatility providing numerous trading opportunities. Also although we do not provide stock picks as such it was pleasing to note that all our new additions once again closed up.
For today U.S. stock futures are once again indicating that markets could open significantly lower today.
If you have any views or comments on any of our Watch Stocks please post them in the Forums section of our web site which can be accessed via the following link:
http://www.shrewdinvesting.com/forums.asp
Today’s Additions: EFJI; RFMD. (Please note that while in our opinion there are a lot of undervalued techs out there such as FDRY, MCRL etc. we are for the moment trying to limit our choices to those stocks where we see some short term driver for the price.)

Notes
1. Watch Stocks are not stock tips but stocks that we have selected to monitor for a trend reversal. While selected stocks will therefore show considerable volatility they should provide many trading opportunities.
2. Possible Trend Reversals are previous Watch Stocks that we believe have significant potential and could be at the initial stage of an upward trend.
3. Failures are stocks that we continue to like but the trend reversal may be erratic or have broken down.
4. As a rule of thumb a movement of 2% (can be over one or more days) is required for a stock to move between the above categories.
4. Deletions are stocks that are being removed from our Top 50 Watch Stocks to make way for new additions and their deletion does not mean that we feel they lack further potential.
IMPORTANT: Until any downward trend has been reversed, buying highlighted stocks will carry additional risks. We recommend waiting for 10-15 minutes after open before placing an order. Please remember the old saying that amateurs trade the open while pros trade the close and that as a rule you should not chase after a stock nor should you fall in love with it. Also while all stock picks are subject to our disclaimer, Penny Stocks, particularly where trading volumes are low, can and will have greater price volatility. Remember, if trading was easy, everyone would be doing it and everyone would be rich.

MARKET REVIEW: Dollar trades narrowly ahead of U.S. consumer
spending data
======================================================
Dollar maintained a firm undertone on Wednesday as the market digested Tuesday's U.S. interest rate hike and waited to see if upcoming economic data would support the Fed's optimism. Investors will pay attention to the release of U.S. retail sales data on Thursday in order to gauge the current growth rate of consumer spending.
Euro fell to 1.2195 and Dlr/chf rallied to 1.2647 on active cross selling against Japanese yen. However, cable rebounded to 1.8322 while Dlr/yen retreated to 110.60.
Thursday will see the release of 2nd quarter German GDP, U.S. weekly jobless claims, retail sales, import prices and business inventories data.

Our Top 50 Watch Stocks – August 11, 2004 – updated daily
It’s too early to tell but yesterday could possibly have been a suckers rally based on a bullish economic outlook from the Federal Reserve. What might however influence markets today is a realization that the FOMC left the door open for further early interest rate hikes against a background of two consecutive months of disappointing employment growth. Also while oil may have dropped out of the spotlight many analysts now believe that in the short term there could be further significant increases and that is based on the fundamentals and does not take into account any disruption to supplies
For the moment U.S. stock futures are currently indicating that markets could open significantly lower today

1. Watch Stocks are not stock tips but stocks that we have selected to monitor for a trend reversal. While selected stocks will therefore show considerable volatility they should provide many trading opportunities.
2. Possible Trend Reversals are previous Watch Stocks that we believe have significant potential and could be at the initial stage of an upward trend.
3. Failures are stocks that we continue to like but the trend reversal may be erratic or have broken down.
4. As a rule of thumb a movement of 2% (can be over one or more days) is required for a stock to move between the above categories.
4. Deletions are stocks that are being removed from our Top 50 Watch Stocks to make way for new additions and their deletion does not mean that we feel they lack further potential.
IMPORTANT: Until any downward trend has been reversed, buying highlighted stocks will carry additional risks. We recommend waiting for 10-15 minutes after open before placing an order. Please remember the old saying that amateurs trade the open while pros trade the close and that as a rule you should not chase after a stock nor should you fall in love with it. Also while all stock picks are subject to our disclaimer, Penny Stocks, particularly where trading volumes are low, can and will have greater price volatility. Remember, if trading was easy, everyone would be doing it and everyone would be rich.

MARKET REVIEW: Dollar rises on Fed rate hike and hawkish
statement
======================================================
Dollar rebounded strongly on Tuesday after the FOMC meeting, with the Fed deciding to raise the Fed Fund rate by 0.25% to 1.50% as anticipated and also issuing a hawkish statement on the U.S. economic and inflationary outlook. The Fed reaffirmed her bullish view by stating that the recent soft batch of U.S. economic data was transitory and there would be more rate hikes going forward. This led to economists revising their forecasts and there are now expectations that another quarter point hike would be seen in the next FOMC meeting.
Earlier, U.K. released weaker than expected CPI (1.4%) and RPI (-0.2%) for July, the data suggesting that the BOE is not likely raise U.K interest rates in the next MPC meeting after five consecutive hikes. Hence, cable fell sharply versus the dollar and especially the euro.
Euro and cable fell to 1.2225 and 1.8250. The greenback also rose to 1.2638 and 111.48 against the Swiss franc and Japanese yen respectively.
Wednesday will see the release of German inflation data, U.K. claimant count, as well as U.S. Federal Budget.

USD/YEN - 111.28
Update Time : 01:10GMT
Yesterday's strong rebound after the Fed raised interest rate by 25 basis points (reaffirming its bullish view on the U.S. economic recovery) suggests retracement of the decline from 2.49 remains in force, however, broad outlook remains consolidative and reckon upside should be capped below 111.90 res today and yield retreat later.

Last Update At : 2004/08/11 00:55
USD/YEN - 111.22..Despite yesterday's initial choppy sideways trading, the greenback penetrated 110.93/99 (now sup) after the U.S. expected rate hike (at 1815GMT). Our apologies to those who followed our daily recommendation n made some losses.
Today, dollar's rebound fm 109.82 suggests a strg retracement of the decline fm 112.49 is under way n as long as 110.93/99 holds, intra-day upside bias remains for marginal gain to 111.50/60, however, chart res at 111.90 shud hold fm here due to o/bot readings on the hourly oscillators. On the downside, a firm break below 110.99 wud indicate price wud continue to gyrate within recent established 109.82-112.49 board range with downside bias for test of y'day's low at 110.42 but sup at 109.82 is expected to remain intact.
Looking ahead, a daily close abv 111.90 wud signal recent upmove fm 107.02 has resumed n bring one more rise abv 112.49, however, weakening of momentum wud limit upside to 113.20 (62% proj. of 107.02-112.49 measured fm 109.82) n yield retreat later...

MARKET REVIEW: Dollar edges up ahead of FOMC meeting on
Tuesday
======================================================
Dollar edged a touch higher on Monday due to position adjustments ahead of the FOMC interest rate decision on Tuesday. However, sentiment remained negative on the U.S. unit after last Friday's poor U.S. employment report for July. Some investors expected that although the Fed was likely to raise interest rates by 0.25% on Tuesday's meeting, uncertainty of the pace of U.S. economic growth would keep the Fed's tightening cycle on hold ahead of the U.S. Presidential election in November.
U.S. wholesale inventories rose by 1% in June and although it beat forecasts of a 0.5% rise, the data did not have much positive impact on the greenback. Euro and Cable retreated slightly from 1.2291 to 1.2245 and 1.8445 to 1.8378. Dlr/yen strengthened to 110.93 on active cross selling in yen while dlr/chf was range-trading between 1.2501 and 1.2575.
Tuesday's focus will be on the FOMC meeting, with the interest rate decision expected to be announced at 1815GMT. On the data front, U.K will release trade deficit, CPI and RPI; Germany will release trade surplus for June while the U.S. will release productivity and labour cost data for the second quarter.

Our Top 50 Watch Stocks – August 09, 2004 – updated daily
World markets are down heavily today playing catch-up with the U.S. which saw stocks fall quite dramatically Friday on much worse than expected payroll figures.
For the moment U.S. stock futures are indicating a flat opening to today’s trading but in view of increased fears for the World economy, unless we get a technical bounce assisted by short covering/bargain hunting we see little incentive at the moment for buyers to return to the market.
Our advice last week to only commit new money to “special” situations therefore remains relevant.

Notes
1. Watch Stocks are not stock tips but stocks that we have selected to monitor for a trend reversal. While selected stocks will therefore show considerable volatility they should provide many trading opportunities.
2. Possible Trend Reversals are previous Watch Stocks that we believe have significant potential and could be at the initial stage of an upward trend.
3. Failures are stocks that we continue to like but the trend reversal may be erratic or have broken down.
4. As a rule of thumb a movement of 2% (can be over one or more days) is required for a stock to move between the above categories.
4. Deletions are stocks that are being removed from our Top 50 Watch Stocks to make way for new additions and their deletion does not mean that we feel they lack further potential.
IMPORTANT: Until any downward trend has been reversed, buying highlighted stocks will carry additional risks. We recommend waiting for 10-15 minutes after open before placing an order. Please remember the old saying that amateurs trade the open while pros trade the close and that as a rule you should not chase after a stock nor should you fall in love with it. Also while all stock picks are subject to our disclaimer, Penny Stocks, particularly where trading volumes are low, can and will have greater price volatility. Remember, if trading was easy, everyone would be doing it and everyone would be rich.

MARKET REVIEW - Dollar tumbled on weaker than expected U.S. jobs report
======================================================
Dollar took a beating on Friday due to the dramatic weaker than expected U.S. non-farm payrolls for July. The data only grew by 32,000 against the economists' forecast of 228,000. The unemployment rate, however, fell to 5.5% in July from 5.6% in June.
The weak non-farm payrolls suggested that although the Fed would still increase interest rates by 0.25% at next week's FOMC meeting, it would take a longer period of time before the next possible hike. As a result, the U.S. unit fell to 109.82 and 1.2493 against the Japanese yen and Swiss franc, while Euro and cable rallied to 1.2290 and 1.8475 respectively.
This week's focus will be the FOMC meeting on Tuesday, with the market already having discounted a hike of 0.25% in Fed Fund rate. On the data front, Monday will see the release of U.K PPI for July and U.S. wholesale inventories for June.

Our Top 50 Watch Stocks – August 06, 2004 – updated daily
While oil prices have continued to hit new highs, for the moment U.S. stock futures are indicating a flat but positive opening to today’s trading. While from this level a technical bounce could be expected much will depend on the unemployment data for June that will be released prior to the bell. Also bear in mind that and any recovery may not be sustainable as we move into the weekend and with the Olympics (security concerns) just a week away.
Our investment tip would be to select your own manageable level of watch stocks, get to know how they perform and then watch them carefully to ensure that you catch the eventually rebound.

MARKET REVIEW: Dollar fell against European currencies but rose
against Japanese yen
======================================================
Dollar fell on Thursday against the European currencies due to a steep decline in stock markets, however, it rallied strongly versus the yen on a surge in oil prices. Three-month crude oil futures traded on NYMEX jumped nearly 4% to $44.50 a barrel, the highest level since the exchange opened in 1983. In other news, U.S. weekly jobless claims came to 336,000, slightly better than the forecast of 340,000.
The BOE MPC decided to raise the benchmark interest rate by 0.25% to 4.75%. However, the news was already discounted and did not make much impact on sterling. ECB decided to leave interest rate unchanged at 2.0%, also in line with expectations.
Euro and cable rebounded to 1.2074 and 1.8298 respectively while dlr/chf retreated to 1.2730. The U.S. unit rose to 111.77 in late U.S. trading from a low of 110.82 in Asian session.
Friday will see the release of July U.S. unemployment rate and non-farm payrolls, as well as Canadian unemployment rate and jobs change (also for July). The data are expected to create good volatility in the forex markets.

1. Watch Stocks are not stock tips but stocks that we have selected to monitor for a trend reversal. While selected stocks will therefore show considerable volatility they should provide many trading opportunities.
2. Possible Trend Reversals are previous Watch Stocks that we believe have significant potential and could be at the initial stage of an upward trend.
3. Failures are stocks that we continue to like but the trend reversal may be erratic or have broken down.

IMPORTANT: Until any downward trend has been reversed, buying highlighted stocks will carry additional risks. We recommend waiting for 10-15 minutes after open before placing an order. Please remember the old saying that amateurs trade the open while pros trade the close and that as a rule you should not chase after a stock nor should you fall in love with it.

MARKET REVIEW: Dollar weakens on benign U.S. inflation outlook
======================================================
The dollar weakened on Tuesday as U.S. personal income and consumption reports came in weaker than expected at 0.2% and -0.7% m/m respectively. The softer data eroded some lingering expectations that the Fed might be gearing up for a more aggressive cycle of interest rate hikes.
Euro and cable rebounded from intra-day lows of 1.1993 and 1.8172 to 1.2077 and 1.8265 in late U.S. session, while the Swiss franc bounced from 1.2831. Despite high oil prices, dlr/yen remained under pressure and fell to 110.40 on persistent cross buying of yen against European currencies.
Wednesday will see the release of the German employment report for July and eurozone retail sales for June. In addition, U.S. factory orders for June and U.S. ISM (non-manufacturing) for July are scheduled for release at 1400GMT.

MARKET REVIEW: Dollar mixed on security fears and slightly higher than expected U.S. ISM
======================================================
Dollar eased on Monday as fresh security concerns on possible attacks by Al Qaeda on U.S. landmarks and geopolitical risks in Middle East weighed on the greenback. However, the downside was limited due to the release of a stronger than expected U.S. ISM ((manufacturing) for July, which rose to 62.0 from 61.1 the previous month.
Euro rallied to 1.2093 before retreating to 1.2027 in late U.S. session while dlr/chf dipped to 1.2688 before rebounding back to 1.2790. Cable rose to 1.8336 on speculation of possible BOE interest rate hike on Thursday MPC meeting. Dlr/yen weakened to 110.58 on active cross buying in yen against European currencies.
Tuesday will see the release of E-12 PPI and employment report for July, as well as U.S. personal income and consumption data. Major focus remains on Friday's release of U.S. non-farm payrolls.

Notes
1. Watch Stocks are not stock tips but stocks that we have selected to monitor for a trend reversal. While selected stocks will therefore show considerable volatility they should provide many trading opportunities.
2. Possible Trend Reversals are previous Watch Stocks that we believe have significant potential and could be at the initial stage of an upward trend.
3. Failures are stocks that we continue to like but the trend reversal may be erratic or have broken down.
4. As a rule of thumb a movement of 2% (can be over one or more days) is required for a stock to move between the above categories.
4. Deletions are stocks that are being removed from our Top 50 Watch Stocks to make way for new additions and their deletion does not mean that we feel they lack further potential.
IMPORTANT: Until any downward trend has been reversed, buying highlighted stocks will carry additional risks. We recommend waiting for 10-15 minutes after open before placing an order. Please remember the old saying that amateurs trade the open while pros trade the close and that as a rule you should not chase after a stock nor should you fall in love with it. Also while all stock picks are subject to our disclaimer, Penny Stocks, particularly where trading volumes are low, can and will have greater price volatility. Remember, if trading was easy, everyone would be doing it and everyone would be rich.

MARKET REVIEW: Dollar is steady on mixed U.S. economic outlook
======================================================
Dollar ended the week on a firmer undertone against euro and Swiss franc but weaker against sterling and Japanese yen on active cross trading. Earlier on Friday, the U.S. unit fell on the news that the U.S. GDP for Q2 expanded at a pace of 3% after the upward revision of 4.5% in Q1. The data was weaker than expectations and showed that the overall U.S. economic growth was slowing down during an inflationary period.
However, the dollar rebounded strongly against continental currencies but was steady against sterling and Japanese yen after news that both U.S. Michigan sentiment and Chicago PMI rose strongly to 96.7 and 64.7. Both numbers were above expectations of 96.5 and 59.0 respectively.
As a result, Euro fell back to 1.2002 in late U.S. session after rising to 1.2121 while dlr/chf rallied to 1.2832 from an intra-day low of 1.2686. Cable was trading within a range of 1.8157-1.8247 and dlr/yen fell to 111.08 before stabilising.
This week's focus will be the U.S. unemployment report for July. Monday will see the release of U.S. ISM (manufacturing) index for July and construction spending for June.

Top 20 List of Most Attractive Short-Squeeze Candidates
[BRIEFING.COM -- Robert J. Reid] The late rally off the lows yesterday (on good volume!) has brought some idled trading accounts off the sidelines. Yesterday's late run was aided by a Merrill Lynch technical call suggesting a short-term buying opportunity. The momentum created by that call has carried over to today, with the subsequent short-covering leading to some sizeable gains in the most "leaned on" stocks (e.g., APPX +4.14, NVEC +3.45, PLMO +3.40). Given that the shorts are on the run today, and momentum players will likely try to keep them on their heels near-term, we thought it would be prudent to update our Top 20 List of Most Attractive Short-Squeeze Candidates.

MARKET REVIEW: Dollar trades in narrow ranges against the majors
======================================================
Dollar settled in narrow ranges after rallying to five-week highs against the major currencies. Newswire reports that an important Al Qaeda suspect was captured led to a knee-jerk reaction in the greenback. Earlier in the day, investors paid little attention to the slightly weaker than expected jobless claims and position adjustment ahead of the release of U.S. GDP and sentiment data on Friday. Nzd/Usd rebounded to 0.6355 after the RBNZ decided to raise the benchmark interest rate by 0.25% to 6.00%.
Euro and cable retreated to 1.2097 and 1.8210 after dipping to 1.1990 and 1.8085 respectively. Usd/chf initially rallied to 1.2860 but retreated to 1.2713 before finishing the day with a firm undertone due to active cross-selling in chf. Usd/yen rallied to 112.49 due to active cross-selling in yen.
Friday's focus will be the release of U.S. GDP for Q2,University of Michigan sentiment index and the Chicago PMI for July. The data are expected to be stronger than the previous releases and should provide support to the greenback.

Our Top 50 Watch Stocks – July 29, 2004 – updated daily
While overall yesterday was another very disappointing day we were pleased to see that at least some of our Watch Stocks had double digit gains and that profit taking did not unduly affect our Trend Reversals. SONSE has been retained as a trend reversal because of the after hours activity.
We referred to UTSI a couple of days ago when we were suggesting that in the current climate we did not recommend holding stocks though earnings, – UTSI fell yesterday by 29% in spite of a sound performance – a buying opportunity today perhaps!

Notes
1. Watch Stocks are not stock tips but stocks that we have selected to monitor for a trend reversal. While selected stocks will therefore show considerable volatility they should provide many trading opportunities.
2. Trend Reversal are previous Watch Stocks that we believe have significant potential and could be at the initial stage of an upward trend.
3. Failures are stocks that we continue to like but the trend reversal may be erratic or have broken down.
4. Deletions are stocks that are being removed from our Top 50 Watch Stocks to make way for new additions and their deletion does not mean that we feel they lack further potential.
IMPORTANT: Until any downward trend has been reversed, buying highlighted stocks will carry additional risks. We recommend waiting for 10-15 minutes after open before placing an order. Please remember the old saying that amateurs trade the open while pros trade the close and that as a rule you should not chase after a stock nor should you fall in love with it. Also while all stock picks are subject to our disclaimer, Penny Stocks, particularly where trading volumes are low, can and will have greater price volatility. Remember, if trading was easy, everyone would be doing it and everyone would be rich.
