Three Ideas For The Second Half

March 13, 2003

The oversold conditions from yesterday are being
rectified today, as the market disregarded
weaker-than-expected February retail sales data and the weekly initial claims
report. The bulls’ case was further validated by European markets up and a
stronger dollar. Further, CNN reported that negotiations were already under way
for the surrender of some Iraqi units.Â

Deluxe Check Printing today lowered their
guidance by 10%, and after gapping down, the stock has rallied to its .618
intraday range, and looks overbought.

The Semiconductor HOLDRs are approaching a
significant short-term swing point, as this 60-minute chart shows.

Tyco cut its ’03 estimates and the stock has
trading down today, currently near its intraday lows, and already making a
triple bottom. If the stock breaks this level the fourth time, look out below.

Have a good afternoon,
