1.1 A Solid Year
The S&P 500 in Figure 1A declined 0.5% this week on light volume. The up move was broad across the major sectors, except energy. The average Williams-%R for the above five indices is -52 with a 200-day moving average of -37. The averages lost a net -0.6% over the past 10 trading days on very light volume.
FIGURE 1A
The NASDAQ in Figure 1B gained 0.6% for the week, still hugging its upper trend line. The sideways movement for the past month is still apparent. While the Russell 2000 has begun to show leadership over the past week, the NASDAQ has not. The apparent bottoming of the housing market and elevated consumer confidence has dashed hopes that the Fed will lower interest rates. There is concern this could lead to short-term consolidation in January, followed by overall gains for the major averages in 2007.

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.
