TSC Technical Forum

ExxonMobil Is Still No. 1

 

Yesterday was about what you have to expect, given the setup. A summer Monday, after a big up day, equals small volume, and a small range. In other words, we all should have taken Monday off because we didn't miss a thing.

Today, for a change, the Russell 600 Value index, Ingram Micro (IM), Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing (MMM), Siebel Systems (SEBL), Convergys (CVG), U.S. Bancorp (USB) and ExxonMobil (XOM).










Now, about this GBS Charting Service, formally called "The Chartman's Top Stocks." The poo-bahs are saying we're going to set sail Wednesday, so look for announcements on both RealMoney.com and TheStreet.com within the next 24 hours.

Also, you should be able to read some archived columns at that time, and darn it, I've been hot, nailing stuff like Cubist Pharmaceuticals (CBST), Enzo Biochem (ENZ) and Guidant (GDT) on the long side, as well as Dime Bancorp (DME) and SurModics (SRDX) on the short side.

Naturally, there have been a few losers here and there, but overall, the results certainly have been acceptable. You'll also be able to read some FAQs and see a further explanation of just how you can benefit.

Now, let's hope I don't crack under the pressure of having a live audience!
