STOCK COMMENTARY:

The Market

There are 34 stocks on our current "strong buy" and "strong sell" list. Of them, 27 are STRONG SELL. Suffice it to say, we think the pressure is to the downside. We thought that a few weeks ago and we think it now. On the upside, we think Pixar (Nasdaq:PIXR), and Alcoa (NYSE:AL) are two stocks with nice charts.
