The Week Past

Well, we had the Dow down last week by finishing -0.2% for the week, the Nasdaq finished the week +0.3%, The S & P 500 was +0.9%, and the Russell 2000 was -1.3%. All traders should pay closer attention to their mental stops or plan on riding out some bumps along the way.

This last week was a small downturn for the Dow and a small upturn for the Nasdaq. We believe margin is fine to use if you DO NOT margin all your holdings. We feel it would be prudent to have 1/2 of an account on margin at this time.

We believe that a long-term or swing-trader should have 1/2 of their portfolio on margin at this time. A daytrader could have some margin of up to 3/4 of his holdings if you use tight stops. We want short-term traders to have their stops in at -5%. We suggest using -20% stops on your long-term positions at this time.

Well, the Dow was down medium and the Nasdaq finished the week down medium.

Stock Rumors

We have heard FRONTIER OIL CORPORATION (NYSE: FTO) may become a takeover candidate at $15-16. This stock would be a very speculative play in the energy sector. Buy under $9 with a mental stop at $6 ½. Well, FTO is at $12.45 on May 15th so we would recommend a trader sell ¼ of their holdings and take some profits off the table if they bought below $9. Hold the rest for our $16 target and move the stop up to $11.75. Only use money you can afford to lose all of it in this type of trade.

FTO hit our stop of $11.75 on May 23, 2001 so if you still hold some FTO you should have been stopped out at a nice gain.

FTO hits $17.00 for a high on June 6, 2001 so it did our target of $16.00.

The FED

The FED cut rates 50 basis points on May 15, 2001. The Fed will next meet on June 26-27, 2001. The FED funds futures suggest a 25 basis point rate cut at this time. The economy is giving mixed signals some signs point to strength and some signs point to weakness.

The devices provide power control and protection for DC/DC converters that are specifically designed and optimized to regulate power to the central processing unit (CPU) in Intel(R) Pentium(R) III-based, voltage regulation module (VRM) 8.5-compliant desktop PCs. These circuits are the first to integrate power sequencing functions required by VRM 8.5, thus reducing converter bill-of-materials (BOM) cost compared to competing solutions requiring extensive external components to perform this function. Intersil's Endura ISL6523 is a dual PWM and dual linear controller and the ISL6524 is a single PWM, triple linear controller. Both highly integrated devices provide power control and protection for four output voltages in VRM 8.5-compliant, high-performance microprocessor and computer applications.

"These innovative latest additions to the Endura power management family leverage our design expertise to expand our leadership in the DC/DC power conversion market," said Rick Furtney, vice president and general manager of Intersil's Power Management product line. "As power requirements for PCs and information appliances grow in complexity, systems designers are required to carefully consider voltage requirements and power efficiency. Intersil continues to lead the industry by delivering highly efficient power management products that meet the challenges defined by today's advanced computing devices." ISIL

RETK ($38.60): etek Inc. News for RETK: "MINNEAPOLIS, June 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Retek Inc. (Nasdaq: RETK), the leading provider of solutions that help the retail industry create, manage and fulfill consumer demand, has enjoyed explosive customer success during the first six months of 2001, despite a tight economic retail market. "Retailers know that Retek helps optimize current processes, creating an information infrastructure to support business goals, such as decreasing returns and perfecting replenishment," said Retek Chairman and CEO, John Buchanan. "During slow economic times, increasing production and speed-to-market often work against retailers, but optimizing the retail experience to ensure that customers receive the right products at the right time and right price allows retailers to cut costs by optimizing production, not increasing it." Grocery Customers Optimize Supply Chain to Maintain Margins Retek is working with top grocers in the U.S. and U.K. to help optimize grocery supply chain processes. With tight margins, grocers must run at peak performance or risk losing millions with wasted product. Both The Kroger Company, the largest U.S. grocery chain, J. Sainsbury PLC, Britain's longest standing grocery chain, are working with Retek to lower operating costs through improved inventory management. "As a 25 billion retailer with more than 440 stores in the U.K., it is essential that we have high data integrity throughout our organization," said Martin Webb, Sainsbury. "This new solution provides a scalable foundation that will drive improvements in our planning, forecasting and replenishment activities. Retek has proven to be the leader in retail solutions, particularly in the unique environment of the grocery marketplace. Partnering with Retek is one of the first steps to upgrade our systems, and we expect to yield major benefits over the coming years." Retailers Rally Around Retek Logistics & Merchandising Fashion and other non-food retailers must make the most of the customer shopping experience by offering a custom experience based on consumer demand. Tony Hyett, director of supply chain management, Wilsons Leather says, "In the fashion business managing lead times to get the right product to the right location at the right time, as efficiently as possible, is extremely important. We performed an extensive evaluation of the leading solutions in the market and selected Retek. Retek's functionality and capability to extend beyond the four walls of the distribution center, providing merchandise visibility and control throughout Wilson's supply chain, are key differentiators." Other notable retailers who have either selected or gone live with Retek logistics and merchandising solutions during the first six months of 2001 include Gap, Barnes & Noble, Clarks, Jungle.com, WHSmith, Selfridges and Tesco. Retek Poised for Retail CRM Growth According to a recent report by industry research firm Gartner Group(1), the retail industry is in the early stages of CRM adoption as a key business strategy. The vast majority of retailers are assessing the feasibility of these solutions and evaluating products and vendors. Retek is the only retail solutions company with a retail-specific CRM solution designed to integrate with other business systems, allowing retailers to work with the systems they have in place, integrating critical customer information with CRM systems. Retek's current Retail CRM customers include world-class companies such as Tosco and Jungle.com. Retek expects to announce new wins in this solution group in the coming weeks." RETK

We have added AXP at $37.50; FRE at $60.50; and XLF at $25.50 to the "A" Portfolio a few weeks ago. All three stocks are in the financial sector. Here is some information on all three companies.

FRE ($68.70) News for FRE: No new news for FRE. FRE

Financial Sel Sect Spdr Fd (AMEX: XLF $28.57) is a sector spider traded on the AMEX.

The upper resistance levels for the Nasdaq is 2,150 and then 2,375. Support is at 2,000 and then 1,850. We would like to see the Nasdaq stay above 2,000. The Dow has support at 10,500 and then 10,300. Resistance is at 11,300. The Dow is going under 10,600 support so we would like the Dow to stay above 10,300.

We have been using this as a guideline only. We are holding some stocks with a loss of over -30%. If this market breaks down lower we may dump some of the losing stocks that are in our "A" Portfolio. The "A" Portfolio is going to a strict percentage gain or loss sell mode for now with the market fluctuating so much at this time. If a position moves up +20% one-quarter of the position will be sold, at +40% another one-quarter will be sold, and then at +75 to +100% another one-quarter of the position will be sold. That will leave one-quarter of the position to ride the stock higher. We still will use -30% to exit a stock position. Our targets for these stocks are on our Charts page.

We will talk about more of the stocks in the "A" Portfolio in the coming weeks.

CHIR ($51.63) Chiron Corp. is a biotechnology company that is developing products for preventing and treating cancer, infectious diseases and cardiovascular disease. News for CHIR: "BOULDER, Colo. and EMERYVILLE, Calif., June 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Ribozyme Pharmaceuticals Inc. (RPI) (Nasdaq: RZYM) and Chiron Corporation (Nasdaq: CHIR) today announced treatment of the first patient in a Phase II clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of the ribozyme anti- angiogenic drug ANGIOZYME in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. This study of ANGIOZYME in combination with standard therapy is the second Phase II clinical trial that is investigating the clinical activity of ANGIOZYME in metastatic solid tumors. The first Phase II trial with ANGIOZYME began in February of 2001 in patients with metastatic breast cancer. The first patient was dosed this week by US Oncology. "We are hopeful that results of this trial will reveal that ANGIOZYME may be able to improve upon the clinical results seen with the current standard of care for metastatic colon cancer," said Dr. John Nemunaitis, Medical Director, US Oncology Gene, Cellular, and Special Therapies Program at Mary Crowley Medical Research Center, Dallas, Texas. Approximately 75 patients will be enrolled in this study. Eligible patients will receive ANGIOZYME along with the standard combination chemotherapy regimen of irinotecan, 5-FU and leucovorin. ANGIOZYME will be self-administered by the patients via daily subcutaneous injections. Patients will be eligible to continue ANGIOZYME therapy if either a response or stable disease is present. The principal investigator for this trial is Alan Venook, M.D., of the University of California, San Francisco Comprehensive Cancer Center. Additional sites include The Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Duke University Medical Center, The Sarah Cannon Cancer Center, and several sites of US Oncology, headquartered in Houston, Texas. "The safety of ANGIOZYME has already been examined in a Phase I trial at the Cleveland Clinic. This Phase II trial will examine both the safety and efficacy of ANGIOZYME in this difficult to treat patient population," said Dr. Alan Venook of the University of California, San Francisco Comprehensive Cancer Center. According to the American Cancer Society, there are an estimated 130,200 new cases of colorectal cancer per year in the US. An estimated 56,300 deaths occurred from this disease in 2000. Approximately 1.2 million people suffer from this disease and an estimated 100,000 to 150,000 of these have metastatic colorectal cancer. ANGIOZYME is a ribozyme that targets the high affinity receptor for Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) which is implicated in angiogenesis. ANGIOZYME is designed to decrease VEGF signaling and in that manner, decrease the growth of new blood vessels to tumors, hopefully preventing the spread of cancer. For more information concerning participation in this clinical trial, please visit the RPI web site at rpi or call 1-800-Chiron-8. RPI, located in Boulder, Colorado, is developing ribozymes, the result of Nobel Prize winning science, as a new class of RNA therapeutics designed directly from genomic data for the treatment of cancer and viral diseases. Ribozymes are synthetically engineered to act as "molecular scissors" capable of cleaving target RNA in a highly specific manner, blocking gene expression and preventing production of unwanted proteins."

PFE ($42.02) Pfizer Inc. News for PFE: " PHILADELPHIA, June 24 /PRNewswire/ -- More patients with type 2 diabetes who were treated with inhaled insulin (Exubera(TM)) achieved the recommended blood glucose levels than patients who received only insulin injections, according to data presented today at the American Diabetes Association's 61st Annual Scientific Sessions. The six-month study LB-34, which involved 299 patients with type 2 diabetes, compared insulin injections with Exubera(TM) that replaced meal-related injections. Patients in the Phase III study received either injections alone or Exubera(TM) prior to meals plus an insulin injection at bedtime. In the study, more patients taking Exubera(TM) achieved HBA1c levels that were less than 7 percent versus patients taking insulin injections. The HBA1c level reflects blood glucose readings over a period of several months a level below 7 percent is the American Diabetes Association's recommended treatment goal for patients with diabetes. "Despite the proven long-term benefits of tight glycemic control achieved by insulin, there is a reluctance on the part of patients and physicians to treat type 2 diabetes with insulin," said Priscilla A. Hollander, M.D., Ph.D., Medical Director at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas and lead study investigator. "Our data suggest that Exubera(TM) may lead to earlier introduction of insulin therapy in type 2 diabetes based on patients' acceptance and improved glycemic control." Patients who received Exubera(TM) showed an improvement in blood glucose levels that were equivalent to patients who took insulin injections. Additionally, fewer patients in the Exubera(TM) group experienced hypoglycemia, or abnormally low levels of blood sugar, compared with patients receiving injections. Nearly half of the 16 million Americans with diabetes have blood sugar levels that are not controlled NHANES III. When left uncontrolled, diabetes can lead to kidney failure, blindness, amputations and premature death. In addition, people with diabetes are two to four times more likely to have a heart attack or stroke Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. The most common respiratory clinical side effect reported among patients in the study was cough, which was characterized as mild to moderate in nature. Pulmonary function tests showed no significant differences between patients receiving Exubera(TM) versus those who received injections. Exubera(TM) is being developed for patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes through a collaboration between Pfizer Inc and Aventis Pharma. The two companies have entered into a global agreement to co-develop, co-promote (where permitted by local law) and co-manufacture inhaled insulin. Pfizer is also in collaboration with Inhale Therapeutic Systems, developers of the inhalation device and formulation process." PFE

With the Market being so volatile, a trader should have some close mental stops in the stocks they buy. We suggest a mental stop of 20% is used where appropriate.

We recommend buying utilities based in Florida and not any utilities based in California. The reason is California based utilities do not produce enough of their own power and have to go onto the open market to buy power during peak usage. California utilities are having trouble and two of them Edison Intl. (EIX) and P G & E Corp. (PCG) are having problems so stay away from them for now. PCG has declared bankruptcy last week and Edison Intl. (EIX) has said they will not declare bankruptcy for now. We would stay away from any power generators that supply power to any California utilities at this time. For a person needing some income be sure to look into electric utilities for some bargain buying opportunities to take advantage of the high dividend paying utilities. We would buy 5-year and 10-year treasuries for income and some appreciation if interest rates are lowered this year. We recommend 3-6 months Treasuries because they are currently yielding 4.0%. CEI ($24.83) yield has gone down to 8.85% but it is still a buy for its yield and our target is $35. We also like these two reits: CRE ($28.92) yielding 6.43% CarrAmerica Realty is a REIT that focuses primarily on the acquisition, development, ownership and operation of office properties in suburban growth markets in the U.S. Forthe FY ended 12/31/00, revenues rose 8% to $558M. Net income from continuing operation fell 3% to $147.2M. Revenues reflect the development of properties being placed in service and higher occupany rate for store properties. Earnings were offset by a lower gain on the sale of assets. CRE and SPG ($27.75) yielding 7.63% Simon Property Group, Inc. is a self-administered and self-managed REIT company, primarily engaged in the expansion & development of real estate properties, primarily malls and shopping centers. For the fiscal year ended 12/31/00, revenues rose 7% to $2.02B. Net income before extra item & acct. change, applic. to Common and limited partners rose 14% to $347.4M. Revenues reflect the CPI merger. Net income reflects gains vs. losses on RE sales. SPG
