PRIME STOCK NEWSLETTER FOR JANUARY 29th, 2010

(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 Thursday solidly lower in a broad based move that saw almost every sector index I track move lower on the day with the exception of the banking indices. The weakest sectors were the High Tech, Airlines, Transports, Cyclicals, Oil Services, Broker/Dealer, Chemicals, Telecoms, Insurance, and Commodities. Oil was down slightly by $0.03 to $73.64/barrel, and Gold was lower by $0.90 to $1,083.60 per ounce.

Please Note: Due to traveling on the 27th & 28th I did not publish the Prime Stock Newsletter on those days.
