PRIME STOCK NEWSLETTER FOR July 28th, 2009

(If you do not see today's edition, please hit the refresh button)

Position Statement: In our Prime Recommendation Letter we attempt to identify the recommendation with the highest probability of moving higher.  We recommend that stop orders be placed at the time of purchase,  and once the position has moved profitable we recommend a stop be placed a minimum of $0.375 above the purchase price and moved higher as the position moves higher.

Today's Comments: The overall market finished yesterday essentially unchanged. It is worth noting that in my review of the charts from yesterday's trading activity that the current market rally is starting to show signs of topping out, as many stocks are failing to continue their recent advances and the number of stocks to choose today's trading recommendation from has declined dramatically from last week's levels.

Also, please note that we did not publish a trading recommendation yesterday, July 27th.
