Stock Pick of the Week ! May 17, 2002

Based on the six-month chart of Restoration Hardware, Inc. (NasdaqNM: RSTO), we believe the stock is a good short sell candidate for the upcoming week. Looking at the chart below, the stock is currently in a decending triangle pattern. The MACD and RSI are only complimenting price movement which is downward. But, in today's feature article on TheStreet.com, titled "Looking Past the Shine on Restoration Hardware", Tim Arango had a very negative outlook for the company. Based on this article and on what decending triangles normally do, which is break to the downside, we feel it is worth shorting. Today, RSTO closed at $10.54. A short-term target was assigned at $9.

Members may want to short PFCB if there is any substantial selling volume early next week. Today, PFCB closed at $33.45. A short-term target was assigned at ~$30.

Stock Pick of the Week ! November 15, 2002

We believe VA Linux Systems, Inc. (NasdaqNM: LNUX) is a good "long buy" candidate for the months ahead. When reading articles on IBM's web site, they mention that 33K developers are starting to write software for linux. This means linux will soon have notable competition against Microsoft. Microsoft believes they will keep pace with new technology faster, but they may be completely wrong. Never in history have there been more developers developing at such a fast pace for an operating system. This is the whole advantage of open-source technology. No one "owns" it. So everyone is free to advance it at lightning speed. Technically speaking, LNUX appears to be in a well-defined consolidation pattern and possibly under accumulation. When viewing the 6-month chart of LNUX, the stock appears poised to break out any day. Back in August, the stock appreciated greatly from $0.65 to over $1.50, but the 200-day MA provided substantial overhead resistance since it was so far away percentage-wise. Currently, the 50-day is providing support. But, since the stock is very near the 200-day MA, we feel this level can be exceeded, and possibly act as new support upon any advancement in price. We interpret these conditions as being bullish for LNUX, and believe the stock should appreciate from current levels. Today, LNUX closed at $1.07. A one-month target was assigned at ~$1.25.

After - the percent gain in 1 trading day was 18.7% !!

Exceeding Target - the percent gain in 2 trading days was 34.6% !!

(5) Moneyflow appears to have bottomed out and is poised to strengthen in the near term. Today, GE closed at $22.48. A one-month target was assigned at ~$25.
