TradingMarkets just released a proprietary stock rating
method called href=”https://tradingmarkets.com.site/powerratings”>color=#ff0000>Powercolor=#ff0000>Ratings. This method
ranks stocks 1-10 and the higher the rating, the greater the one-week historical
gain has been.


href=”https://tradingmarkets.com.site/powerratings”>color=#ff0000>Powercolor=#ff0000>Ratings were
created by Cesar Alvarez, Director of Research for Connors Capital, LLC. Cesar
looked back at more than 5.5 million trades between Jan 1, 1995 and Dec 1, 2005.
The results are based on the average 5-day performance.

S&P ends the day at four year closing high, as investors continue to feel
confident with the information from the Fed minutes.

Conversely, the dollar had its worst two days against the Euro in five years,
also caused by the Fed’s position on inflation-containment.

Technology indexes head the sectors, while oil and the energies trading lower
for the day.

Surge in factory orders linked directly to airline industry; the orders
remain largely unchanged outside of transportation sector.
