PRIME STOCK NEWSLETTER FOR November 4th, 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: I am very happy to announce that after missing the last six (6) weeks due to a severe case of pneumonia which lingered on and did not want to leave, I am back writing the Sterling Weekly and the Sterling Prime Stock Newsletter. After suffering from pneumonia, I would definitely urge everyone to get a pneumonia shot. It supposedly protects against 27 different types of pneumonia and is good for 10 years.

The overall market should get a slight pop higher today as a result of the Republican victories in the governor's races in Virginia and New Jersey yesterday. However, I don't think that will reverse the current downward trend in the market.
