1.1 Bullish Outlook
The S&P 500 in Figure 1A crossed above its upper trend line. With two thirds of S&P 500 companies now reporting, over 70% reported earnings above expectations. Based on existing reports, earnings are expected to average a 18% gain for the quarter. This is above the 14% previously expected. Looking forward into the fourth quarter, there have been few warnings so far. Earnings for the fourth quarter are expected to run at about 11%. The Fed left interest rates unchanged at 5.25%, as expected. Inflation is expected to slow along with the economy. However, the Fed does not expect the economy to slow below a moderate rate of growth. In spite of some profit taking on Friday, the chances of the S&P 500 climbing its upper trend line remain very good.
FIGURE 1A
The NASDAQ in Figure 1B remains about 1.2% below its April high approaching its upper trend line. Semiconductors and technology, after a brief gain, ended the week flat. Commodities remain volatile. Again, if earnings continue to be positive, there is a good chance the NASDAQ will make a new high for the year. So far, it is up 6.6% for 2006.

3.0 Procedure
The following watch lists contain stock candidates for consideration. They are not necessarily trades. Categories include checklists for insider buying and cash rich companies, as well as, filters that employ stock picking methods used by master traders. The information is not meant to imply any endorsement or sponsorship by these master traders.
Current stock rankings are based on the degree to which stocks are overbought or over sold based on the 28-period Williams %R for the past two trading days. Two columns are labeled “%R1” and “%R2” with “%R2” indicating the Williams %R for the most recent trading day. Of course, values more negative than -80 are oversold and those less negative than -20 are overbought.
One should keep in mind that oversold stocks are not necessarily ready to move upward. They could very well be in a condition of continuous decline. The lists are meant to serve as a starting point for further due diligence.
A column labeled “Monthly % Gain” was added to show the inverse relationship between price action over the past month and the Williams %R. The change from a 10-period Williams %R with a weekly percent change to a 28-period Williams %R with a monthly percent change was done to reflect a longer term view.
Watchlist performance is based on weekly closing prices on Friday. The “Reference” is the date that a stock passed the indicated filter and was first added to or returned to the list. The “% Change” is how the price has changed since the reference date. Stocks that are down 10% or more after being listed are removed for a period of about two months. The “% from Max” is the percentage the price has declined from the maximum price reached since the reference date. Stocks that are down 8% from their highs after being listed are flagged in yellow. Stocks that are down 15% from their highs after being listed are removed for two months. More information on filters is available on the web site.
A performance summary of filtering techniques for checklists and master trader selection methods is given in Table 3A.
