Pick The Dow

[bazanster2]

BG,

Stumbed out the starting gate this week.
Have to remember that extreme Future Indicators tend to be contraian.

from www.yahoo.com
Stocks snapped a three-day losing streak Tuesday, as oil's biggest one-day drop in six weeks and more evidence of a possible Fed easing in early 2007 helped investors returning from the long holiday weekend to get buying efforts back on track."

Going with UP on Hump Day.

There we Go Baz!!!!

[Bostongambler]

UP Again on Thurs.

[bazanster2]

BG,

Hump Day was a good day, Dow and the Blazers finished strong. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Several reports today.
Intial Claims 8:30am(Eastern)
Consumer Confidence 10:00 am(Eastern)
Existing Home Sales 10:00 am(Eastern)
Crude Inventories 10:30 am(Eastern)


Going with UP on Thursday.
Lately, the market has tended to shake off early bad news and rally late.

-9 and change

[Bostongambler]

I see the the Fed and Nasdaq will be closed on Tues. due to presidents Fords Funeral, nyse will decide tomorrow.

Up on a slow Friday.

[bazanster2]

BG,

Somewhat of a surprise to see the Market down for the Day.
Last I looked the Dow was up +74. But that was early.
Feeling positive today, so going with UP.

Have a great weekend,

gl,

BG,

ISM Index at 10:00 am (Eastern)
FOMC Minutes set for 2:00 (Eastern)

Boston got the better of the Blazers last night,
so not feeling particularly bullish this morning.

Going with DOWN on Tuesday,


gl and let's have a Great Year!!

Going with UP on Hump Day---Even though it isn't a REAL Hump day.

[bazanster2]

BG,

Mexican, Argentine and Brazil stocks all started the year with a record high closes.
Stocks rallied in Chile.
Toronto had a modest gain.
Most of the European markets had positive days.
Future indicators very positive, so going with UP on Hump Day.
Some more good news:
"Global semiconductor sales seen rising 10 percent in 2007, according to latest outlook from Semiconductor Industry Association."

New York Knicks in town today,
will be rooting for the Blazers to start rolling. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

BG,

Didn't like the afternoon action yesterday on the Street.
Going with DOWN on Thursday.

Copper has sold off signifcantly since early May.
There maybe a slight rebound into a trading range, but would be surprised it Copper is at this
price level in 6 to 12 months out if weakness in Homebuilding continues.
Expecting more selling short-term.
Long term prospects extemely bright.
Also anticipate further weakness in Aluminum and nickel.

There has been a tremendous amount of runs in the Commodities Markets.
Corn has had a truly amazing run this year.
These spikes tend not to be too long in duration, especially in the food commodities.
There are some very good opportunites here. We'll try to catch the corn top.
Several commodities are still streaking upwards and others topping out. Like Copper.
Phelps Dodge Puts would be a good way to play the copper correction.
Looking at Phelps Dodge, noticed that despite the recent sell-off in Copper,
the Stock is just slightly below it's 52 year high.

Would suggest the July 2007 115 Strike Put for $500
Symbol is DPBSC.X

Another play would be the Jan. 2008 105 Strike Put for $420.
Symbol is LWLMA.X

PD had 52 week trading range of between the low of 65.14 and the high of 124.75
If Copper sells off, then these Puts have a very good chance of being in the money.
We'll track them and see how they do.
Copper may very well have a short term rebound because it has sold off a bit,
but still expect lower levels.

Have been getting a little impatient with XSNX,

Here's a press release from the Company.
They still have yet to sign any glass companies was was their plan.
It was estimated they would do so last Spring.
Stock up +13% today on a modest +14% Daily Volume increase.

XsunX Expands Technology Portfolio

Patent-Pending Plasma Technology May Reduce Industry Wide Manufacturing
Bottlenecks

ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Jan. 3, 2007 --XsunX, Inc. (XSNX), developer of
advanced manufacturing systems and cell structures for solar energy,
announced today it has entered into a technology development and licensing
agreement with Charlotte, NC based Sencera, a developer of next
generation plasma sources. Using funds provided by XsunX, Sencera will develop
a thin film solar cell manufacturing process using its patent-pending
plasma technology.

The purpose of the cooperative agreement, and XsunX's interest in
licensing of Sencera's next generation plasma technology, is the expectation
that the new process will significantly increase production rates for
the manufacture of deposited thin film solar cells. The technology
offers an opportunity to reduce manufacturing bottlenecks, which are
projected to reduce the manufactured cost per peak watt to less than $1 dollar
US, an industry-wide goal.

Key attributes provided by the Sencera technology are its ability to
uniformly excite high-density plasma over large areas, with minimal ion
bombardment. In deposition tests conducted with a variety of materials
employed in the manufacture of thin film PV, the plasma technology
demonstrated significant deposition rate improvements of up to 10 times
those using conventional plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition "PECVD"
equipment. The present technology is scaleable to large areas (with
current demonstrations on one meter substrates). Initial work will focus
on micro-crystalline solar cell devices.

Tom Djokovich, CEO of XsunX, says that the use of Sencera's proprietary
linear plasma source, originally developed for use in the manufacture
of displays on plastics, offers the opportunity to augment XsunX's
advanced cell structures and manufacturing technologies, and delivers a new,
highly marketable process that is fundamentally extendable to virtually
any size.

"This is an opportunity for XsunX that we have worked many months to
secure," Djokovich said of the technology. "Dropping the cost for the
manufacture of high efficiency micro-crystalline devices to below $1 USD
per peak watt will provide a competitive advantage for XsunX in the TFPV
marketplace. This will make our solar cell designs and proprietary
manufacturing systems tremendously valuable to licensed OEMs."

The development team at Sencera includes Dr. Russell Jewett, Managing
Director, and Dr. Paul Wickboldt, who will lead the process development
effort. The team has over 45 man-years of combined plasma hardware and
process engineering experience in both government and private sector
development programs, with 13 awarded patents and multiple publications
in this field. The first stage of this program will demonstrate
processes suitable for high-rate thin film PV manufacturing.

"Improving plasma deposition technologies offers tangible opportunities
to significantly reduce the cost and increase the competitiveness of
thin film solar cells," stated Dr. Jewett. "Present techniques for
depositing silicon suffer slow formation rates, and correspondingly high
costs for producing thin film silicon solar cells. We believe that our new
linear high density plasma sources provide attributes that set them
apart from other plasma technologies and we are excited to be working with
XsunX to bring this technology to market."

About XsunX

Based in Aliso Viejo, Calif., XsunX is developing and commercializing
innovative new thin film photovoltaic (TFPV) solar cell technologies and
manufacturing processes to service expanding global energy demands. The
Company has focused its efforts on lowering the cost per watt of solar
power and making solar cell technology easier to use in a wide variety
of applications. XsunX provides new manufacturing techniques that can
significantly lower production costs and allow for easier additions to
production capacities and technology upgrades to manufacturers without
their having to re-build and re-tool. Together, XsunX design and
production innovations offer manufacturers of solar products exciting new
application opportunities and reductions to the cost per watt of solar
power.

Up on Monday

GO PATS!!!

[bazanster2]

BG,

Pats Roll.
SeaHawks still alive.
Blazers nipped at the end. Ugh.
Although, a reasonably tough Miami lineup even without Shaq.

Slapped around Friday, but looking for good reports today.
Going with UP on Monday,

"Oh Well.....?"

DOW up +25.48

No economic reports, oil lower.
Futures positive.
Going with UP on Tuesday.
Saw Barry Manilow last night,
can't help but go with UP for today.
Really a great show.
