AMZN ... testing a very very very critical support, at $71. |

The Greek's Week Ahead - The Last Nail in the Coffin
The Greek's Week Ahead has been engineered to prepare you for the events that could impact your portfolio this week.
Just when you thought it could not get any worse, someone goes and finds that last nail to put in your coffin. That's life isn't it? I don't know who said it best, Frank Sinatra or Rocky Balboa, but it can always get worse can't it. Your best friend can let you down and your dog can bite you in the ass when you turn your back. Last week, not to our surprise but clearly to the market's shock, Caterpillar ( Traders are a superstitious lot, so it would not have taken much more than that to get the paper walls of the market's recent rise crumbling Friday. Still, the market was also digesting Honeywell's ( If the market could not rely on the so called "global economy" or the consumer he had already begun to worry about, then what could he believe in? Well, maybe Ben Bernanke of all people. Treasury securities that had previously forecast just a small chance of a Fed follow up easing in a week, were now pricing in the strong likelihood of one. We are raising the odds here at the Greek as well. There may now be a 50/50 chance of a 25 basis point move on Halloween, but ironically, this decreased certainty could empower Fed inaction in driving the market sharply lower on the 31st. Increased expectation also increases impetus. The Week Ahead... Monday will most certainly start tentatively, considering Friday's frightening falloff. International market activity, and especially that of Mainland Chinese markets, will be closely monitored for U.S. market inspired decline. The annual meeting of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund could offer some news, as could addresses from Fed Governor Randall Kroszner and Fed President Charles Evans. Earnings season will get right back into full swing, with notable reports from Apple ( The full schedule includes Albemarle Corporation (NYSE: The International Council of Shopping Centers - UBS produces its weekly same-store sales report on Tuesday, and we continue to be attentive to changes in consumer spending. Last week's year-over-year growth measure of 2.5% ticked up slightly from the week before it, but the trend was still far below last year's growth rate. With oil prices involved in a mad race to $90, we see no reason to expect increased consumer spending, especially if oil prices hold and allow gasoline prices to catch up. At 10:00 AM, State Street will report its Investor Confidence Index for October. Considering the market's reaction to the Fed's September rate cut, we expect October's confidence reading to exceed September's result of 92.1. Remember, State Street measures the amount of risk carried in portfolios, and relates it to investor confidence. This month's figure is meaningless to us, as the Fed's Halloween meeting should decide the direction of stocks and capital flow into or out of stocks thereafter. Wal-Mart ( Tuesday's extensive earnings schedule includes: 1-800-FLOWERS.COM (Nasdaq: CTS Corp. (NYSE: Millicom International Cellular S.A. (Nasdaq: StockerYale (Nasdaq: On Wednesday morning, the regular Purchase Applications Report from the Mortgage Bankers Association will be followed up by September Existing Home Sales. Recall, the existing homes market dwarfs new homes and is all the more important a barometer to measure the degree of illness in housing. Bloomberg's consensus of economists is looking for sales running at an annual pace of 5.3 million. That's down from August's pace of 5.5 million. Remember earlier this year when economists were worried about the six month supply of homes? Well it's now up to 10 months, so prices are very likely to continue lower, which means a good degree of home equity is still to be lost. At 10:30, the Energy Information Administration will report on oil inventories, but as long as 60,000 Turkish troops continue to trade fire with Kurdish rebels on the border and President Bush continues to speak of World War III, nothing else matters. However, the longer oil prices hold high, the more likelihood gasoline prices will rise, adding more pressure to the global consumer, and that includes you. Wednesday's earnings schedule is not any lighter than Tuesday's. Some of the day's more popular reports are likely to emanate from Merrill Lynch ( After posting a surprise uptick last week, investor concern will be keenly focused on the Weekly Initial Jobless Claims Report. Bloomberg's consensus of economists forecasts new benefits filers will amount to 320,000, versus 337,000 last week. Another data point expected to improve on Thursday is the Durable Goods Orders Report. Economists polled by Bloomberg see durable goods order growth of 1.8% in September, after a 4.9% decline in August. New Home Sales are set for reporting at 10:00 AM, and the consensus sees the annual pace at 770,000 in September, compared to 795,000 in August and 937,000 in January. The EIA will report natural gas inventories as the fall heating season proceeds at a slow pace in the Northeast and through much of the country. Still, prices remain pressured by geopolitcal events and natural gas' increasing substitution, and potential for substitution should oil supplies become restricted in any way. In the heart of earnings season, Thursday's schedule includes Baidu ( On Friday, the final Michigan Sentiment reading is expected unchanged, at 82, the lowest point of the year.

Alpha and the Week Ahead
Whether it was Alan Greenspan’s comments late in trading session Wednesday when he stated that the lofty level of the Chinese equity markets is unsustainable or investor's preparing for the long Memorial Day weekend, this week the Bull’s clearly elected to take their profits and go to the shore for a well deserved three day break.

Portable Alpha Daily
In Friday’s slow pre-holiday trading session, stocks recovered some ground from Thursday’s declines aided by yet another wave of M&A activity which re-ignited positive moods among investors. The DJIA gained 66.15 points (+0.49%) to close at 13507.28. The S&P 500 gained 8.22 points (+0.55%) at 1515.73 while the NASDAQ rose 19.27 points (+0.76%) to close at 2557.19. However, Friday’s gains were not enough to make up the losses from the previous four trading days. All three major indexes were down for the week. The DJIA had its seven week winning streak snapped, down 0.36% for the week. The S&P 500 declined 0.46% for the week after failing to break its previous closing record on multiple tries. The NASDAQ declined for a third straight week closing at and was off 0.05% for the week. This week’s declines were also reflected in the continued weakening in the Technical Indicators which our Major Market Model follows. The NYSE advance/decline line was lower for a second week in a row. Although new highs continue to outnumber new lows on both the NYSE and the NASDAQ, the number of new highs continued to decline. A shift from large cap to small cap dominance is of significant importance to our model and the small cap Russell 2000 index outperformed other major indexes gaining 0.76% for the week. Bond prices edged down Friday after this week’s news releases of new home sales, durable goods and jobless claims reports suggested the Federal Reserve will not cut interest rates in the near future. The five-year note fell 3/32 to yield 4.80 percent. The benchmark 10-year note slipped 5/32 to yield 4.86 percent and the 30-year bond was down 6/32 to yield 5.00 percent. In currency trading, the Euro bought at $1.3430, down from $1.3460 late Wednesday. The greenback traded at ¥121.42, down from ¥121.65 in the previous session. The AAS Market Model turned Bearish as of the close Tuesday, May 15, 2007. The total universe of stocks, ETF’s and mutual funds which we review on a daily basis is 1831. Of those reviewed, 568 are rated "Buy," 687 are rated "Sell" and 576 "Neutral”. The recommended allocation in the Model Fund Portfolio’s is 50% invested and 50% in cash, while in the Model Stock Portfolio the allocations have been reduced as individual securities lose their directional trend or violate an internal Sell rule. The tone for the coming week will be set by the heavy dose of the economic data scheduled to be released which will give investors something new to digest. The FOMC meeting minutes will be released on Wednesday. The Q1 preliminary GDP is due on Thursday. And the most important data for the week is probably going to be the May employment report due out on Friday. A quick review of our AAS market analysis indicates that the Large Cap holdings are leading the market of late with Large Cap Value being the style of choice. However, interestingly we see Small Cap Growth again begin to emerge as a Style leader after having slowed down over the past several months. This supports the shift taking place in our market model mentioned above.
