Sector Talk
--Autos
The Obama Administration made news this week with announced limits on executive pay for
officials at firms receiving government bailout funds. Of the seven firms affected, two were
the auto manufacturers General Motors (GM) and Chrysler (privately held but now mostly
held by the US of A?). The recession battered the bottom line and share prices of most--if not
all--of the major manufacturers, but now we see signs of recovery for some.
Below, we present VEI data for the auto manufacturing industry. As you can see, many of
the stocks have rebounded smartly from the depths of their despair and are showing some
pretty remarkable LTM results. Many analysts find that the US "cash for clunkers" program
had a positive impact on auto sales, but question whether this momentum can be maintained
without the subsidy.
However, despite the rebound, our models remain nonplussed with the industry as a whole
and only two tickers (DAI & NSANY) currently earn a buy rating--and keep in mind that
NSANY's remarkable forecast figures may be skewed by recent share price and earnings
gyrations.

Analysis – The daily chart for Amazon shows declining technical momentum, but that could
change quickly given a huge earnings beat after the close on Thursday. Thursday’s close was
above the 21-day simple moving average at 93.29 setting the stage for a positive reaction to
earnings. My quarterly value level is $88.24 with a semiannual pivot at $95.41 and monthly
risky level at $104.31. The monthly level will be a pivot today as the stock is well above it in
after hours trading.

Strong Stock MOJO* Shows Some Negative Divergences


Stocks are overbought on their weekly charts. Key supports held on
Thursday reversing the “Key Reversal Days”. There are double tops on
Transports, Russell 2000 and Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX).
Stocks are overvalued according to ValuEngine. It appears that stocks
will remain firm next week through huge Treasury supply, weak
consumer confidence and weak new home sales, as Q3 GDP hits 4% in
its Advanced reading next Thursday morning.
Overall, stocks are overbought technically, and overvalued fundamentally. For short-
term traders, it means buy in anticipation, sell on the news.
Major Indices
The Dow – Overbought MOJO with a reading of 9.1 on a scale of zero to ten. Wedge
resistance is 10,178. If this pattern continues the upside is 10,600 into early December. Held
my weekly support at 9,921 then closed above my annual pivot at 10,012.
NASDAQ – Overbought MOJO with a reading of 8.9 with the 200-week simple moving
average as resistance at 2215. The NASDAQ has been below the 200-week since the week
of September 13, 2008. My weekly pivot at 2169 provided a magnet into the close, but
strength was shy of my monthly resistance at 2183.
Russell 2000 – MOJO is declining with a reading of 7.4, below the overbought level of 8.0.
Daily closes below the 21-day and 50-day simple moving averages at 607.29 and 593.91
targets the 200-day at 503.97. Also stayed shy of my weekly pivot at 615.88.
Dow Transports – Overbought with MOJO at 8.3. Strength continues to stall between annual
resistances at 4037 and 4199. Shows a negative divergence as Transports stayed below my
weekly pivot at 3980. The daily chart is overbought with a MOJO reading of 8.1. The double-
top at 4055 / 4066 is confirmed by a close below the 21-day and 50-day simple moving
averages at 3880 and 3832. This would target the 200-day simple moving average at 3253.
The SOX – Overbought with MOJO at 8.1. This is the closest of the averages I follow that can
confirm an intermediate top, as a weekly close below the five-week modified moving average
at 316.80 shifts the weekly chart to negative. The daily chart shows declining MOJO with a
reading of 6.3. Daily closes below the 21-day and 50-day simple moving averages at 322.93
and 315.43 targets the 200-day at 263.65.

Transports, small caps and semiconductors are typically leading groups, so these are
your negative divergences that could prevent significant additional upside for the
overall stock market.

*“MOJO” - A term for Technical Momentum. MOJO represents the readings from the 12x3 slow stochastics. On
a chart you read MOJO from left-to-right (last measure/current measure) and can determine the momentum for a
given index, stock, or ETF using the following guidelines:

• Overbought (OB): 12x3 weekly slow stochastic above 80 on a scale of zero to 100
• Rising (RM): 12x3 weekly slow stochastic rising above 20, but is below 80
• Flat (F): 12x3 weekly slow stochastic between 20 and 80, but not rising or declining
• Declining (DM): 12x3 weekly slow stochastic is declining below 80, but is above 20
• Oversold (OS): 12x3 weekly slow stochastic is below 20 on a scale of zero to 100
--The VE Quarterly FDIC Report
VE Chief Market Strategist Richard Suttmeier is an expert on the banking system, and he
has been closely following the banking and credit crisis for several years now. In fact, he
predicted the current difficulties YEARS before they began. Every quarter he takes the
FDIC's own Quarterly Banking profile, combines it with VE's powerful quant tools, adds
additional proprietary data from the FDIC on loan exposures, and collates the info into an
exhaustive report on the state of the US banking system.
Highlights from the latest report include the following:
Suttmeier now predicts that several hundred more US banks will fail in the next few years
due to a variety of factors--in fact, many banks highlighted in past FDIC reports have already
failed.
There are currently 763 institutions overexposed to Construction & Development
Loans or Nonfarm NonResidential Real Estate (CRE) loans as per the FDIC's own
guidelines. This figure represents a decline over last quarter's total—which was 804.
However, the decline is largely a result of bank failures rather than a reduction in exposures to
the problematic loan categories.
As of September 10, 2009, there were 212 banks overexposed to C&D and/or CRE loans in
the ValuEngine database with full data coverage. Of these overexposed banks, 66 were rated
“1-Engine” Strong Sells, 65 were rated “2-Engine” Sells, 79 were rated “3-Engine” Holds, 1
was rated a “4-Engine” Buy, and one was rated a “5-Engine” Strong Buy. This means that
there are currently 131 banks rated Sell or Strong Sell that are also overexposed to
C&D and/or CRE loans.
This quarter's report is now available for purchase via our website. In addition to the
valuable VE and FDIC data, the report also contains critical ValuEngine data points on the
home building industry, technical levels for a variety of banking and housing indices, policy
prescriptions, and other analysis.
