NNRI News:
Nuclear Power Reactors: EUROPE

As you know, the European law (directive of the European commission 3099) obligates all users of lead to bring the toxic emissions down to ''zero`` by 2010. For nuclear power plants this represents large quantities of lead that need to be replaced and FEECOM/BIECOM is likely to be the major replacement for lead. In Germany alone, there are 17 nuclear utilities with 1,615 metric tons of lead, which is the equivalent of 1,300 metric tons of BIECOM.

The current sales price of BEICOM is between $24 - $33 /kg so 1,300,000 kg would be between $31.2 million and $42.9 million if all the lead at the plants in Germany alone were replaced with BIECOM. This would not come all in one year but this is to show the scope of the need. Besides the 17 nuclear plants in Germany there are 59 in France, 7 in Belgium, 10 in Sweden, 15 in the Ukraine - etc - actually a total of 195 plants in Europe including the non EU countries. NNRF is also in discussions with other utility holding companies in Western Europe and South Korea.

The drug works by preventing the virus from entering human cells, rather than fighting HIV inside white blood cells, Pfizer said. - MarketWatch

Break Man Video Summary:

Break out buy (or short sell) watch list for short term gains September 24 includes:  ALXN, LWAY, MCZ, GILD, VRSN, MA, FSLR, MMM, CELL, YUM, DAR, LKQX, LFC.

Several candidates for break out or short sell  plays for at least short term gains by buying the break out (or selling the break down) on good volume and closing at least some on the  first day.

Swing Man Market Recap:

It was a wild and productive week for the Bulls.  I had been expecting a rate cut of some sort but the 50 basis point move lit a fire under the shorts and provided our market with the best one day move on some indices seen in 5 years.   This move on solid volume sets the right side of some impressive basing patterns on the major indices with the expectation of a period of Handle formation to come somewhere off/near our July high area. In addition, the rate cut move lit a fire under many Commodity Groups while the Dollar fell to 10 year lows.

First on the list is the Nasdaq followed by the SP 500 Daily.  I've marked off 4 Reversal points on both charts.  I expect a 4th reversal move to occur somewhere between current levels and our July high area of 2725 Nasdaq and 1558 SP 500.  After 4th reversal moves which serve to set our patterns the expectation is for a period of Handle formation to take shape over the following 2-4 weeks.  The type of Handle is impossible to say but Handles in general tend to be mild down moves back to the 20/50 MA area confirmed by a significant contraction in volume along the way.   This move serves to revive bearish sentiment, shakes out the last sellers, and unwinds the Oscillators.  Unsuspecting traders in general tend to get frustrated during periods of Handle formation unless they recognize it for what it is.  Some stocks that are already mature will be able to make breakout moves during this process.

The next chart is that of the Dow.  The Dow is setting up similar to other major indices in that a tag of its July high 14k area is still possible short term likely followed by a period of Handle formation.  While the major indices are setting up their respective handles many individual stocks and sectors will follow suit thus therefore this period should provide us with some favorable opportunities in both ETF's and Individual Stocks.

Moving onto Sectors, most Commodity Groups took flight over the past week. Gold broke out and tagged its recent high area but is now quite overbought on all timeframes with RSI's well into the 70's.  We've included a Steel Sector chart below to show how well that sector chart is mirroring the Indices seen above.  The Materials Sector also broke out during the week and after a back test of the broken downtrend line turned higher late week.  The Oil Service Index which broke out to All Time High territory on the back of the move in Oil and the Oil Shipping Groups both continue to perform well on balance.  The Transports moved higher but were hit mid week by a profit short fall by Federal Express.   Financials surged off their bottoms on the rate cut news and many Broker plays hold some significant bottoming potential. The Telecom area also remains interesting technically.

Moving onto Sentiment as expected things unwound quite a bit on the potent move higher over the past few weeks.  The SP 500 has moved from 1370 to 1525 over the past 7 weeks thus some unwinding of Sentiment has to be the expectation.   The Investors Intelligence Survey came in at a 27% spread of Bulls to Bears putting that measure firmly in the Neutral area.  The Commercials which remain long pared some of their positions.  Our 21 Day P/C has unwound from 1.20 to 1.03 but is still historically in a relatively high area.

Good Trading.


   CNBC Fast Money Review

1. BEST WEEK IN 6 MONTHS

  The headline: Investors Basking in Rate Cut Glow, Drive Stocks To Best Weekly Gains Since March.
  Dylan Ratigan explains the S&P 500 gained 2.8% this week. Also, weakness from MS and BSC were no match for the strong earnings from ORCL and The Fed rate cut.
  Najarian explains that the volatility index has dropped considerably. He feels the global growth story is still working.
  Finerman the euphoria feels like it´s over
  Macke the market has traded subprime fear for inflation fear.

  2. TECH STOCKS

  The headline: ORCL Earnings, Bullish PC Growth Forecast Push Tech Shares To Strong Gains This Week
  Najarian likes AAPL and INTC as tech plays.
  Macke also likes Intel.
  Adami prefers MSFT.

  3. GOOGLE ALL-TIME HIGH

  The headline: GOOG Up, Jumping 9% in September to New Record
  Najarian thinks GOOG is poised for a rally. He sees growth for most search engine stocks.

  4. DECISION '08: BUY S&P 500 IN '07

  Whether it´s Rudy or Hillary next year, the real winner may be the stock market. History shows that the S&P 500 rallies going into an election year. How do you trade it?
  Dylan Ratigan explains that since 1931, the S&P has gained 14% in pre-election years.
  Adami doesn´t buy this theory but believes the market will do well for the rest of ‘07. He says the trade is defense stocks no matter who wins the White House.
  Najarian prefers INTC and TXN because he feels tech does better in the 2nd half of the year.

  5. TRADING THE ART OF THE DEAL

  KKR, and Goldman walked away from their buyout of stereo maker HAR Friday. Of all the deals announced this summer how many will get done?

  Macke says Harman got the rug yanked out from under them. He recommends running away from any M&A trades.

  Finerman says not all deals are the same. The most important aspect of any merger agreement, are the terms that can allow a buyer out of a deal. Although the Harman deal fell apart others are more airtight. She says the trade is GCO because she doesn´t feel lawyers can get out of this M&A deal. (Finish Line is buying Genesco)

  Najarian likes URI for many of the same reasons. He too believes URI is in a deal that will go through.

  6. POPS AND DROPS

  T popped 5%: Macke says stay long.

  NYX popped 8%: Finerman tells the panel to get long NYX.

  RIG popped 8%: Najarian says the service sector is hot.

  ORCL popped 10%: Macke likes this stock.

  EL popped 6%: Finerman loves this company.

  BRCD popped 5%: Adami says they can´t compete with Cisco.

  NILE popped 16%: Macke says if you own it, take half off the table.

  FDX dropped 5%: Adami calls FDX serial sandbaggers.

  FDO dropped 5%: Adami thinks the stock is a buy into earnings.

  POOL dropped 14%: Macke says this company is all wet.

  7. YOUR FIRST MOVE FOR MONDAY

  Macke recommends selling GM.

  Finerman likes NYX.

  Najarian prefers BJS.

  Adami didn´t have a stock pick.
