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.

--Commentary and Analysis from Chief Market Strategist Richard Suttmeier
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.
