Market stance: BULLISH (since Oct 3 2003) ******************** Weekly Status Report: Contents ******************** Market Commentary Table of Open Positions Table of Positions Closed Last Week Subscription Information Privacy Policy IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS *************** Weekly Status Report: Market Commentary **************** We had a bearish heavy-volume intraday reversal on Wednesday as the NASDAQ briefly touched the 2000 mark, then proceeded to head mostly south for the rest of the week. I find this worrisome. It could be the beginning of a larger correction. Also, there is a double-top pattern in SMH, the exchange-traded fund for the semiconductor group. SMH fell 6% last week on heavy volume. The damage is limited to market-leading groups, however, which is to say technology stocks, especially semiconductors. These are also the stocks I favor, because they generally have the best sales and earnings growth prospects, and because they are market leaders this year. But even market leaders need to take a break from time to time. I reduced our exposure to stocks last week from 100% to about 86%. My two primary indicators are still bullish, and for that reason, I'm not ready to go 100% cash. Longer-term, I have little doubt that this bull market has further to go. So if this incipient correction does get worse, I would expect it to create some excellent buying opportunities. But I am certainly considering lightening up further. As always, my take on the market's direction is subject to change without notice, as I re-evaluate market conditions on a daily basis. -KD ***************** Weekly Status Report: Open Positions ***************** Stock Buy NetBuy Current Holding Gain Symbol Date Price* Price Period (Loss) ----- -------- ------ ------- --------- ------ AMKR 11/26/03 $19.75 $19.30 1.3 weeks -2.3% ATYT 11/25/03 $15.18 $15.20 1.4 weeks +0.2% BSX 10/15/03 $32.38 $35.41 7.3 weeks +9.4% CYD 11/24/03 $28.15 $30.05 1.6 weeks +6.8% DAKT 11/24/03 $18.41 $20.36 1.6 weeks +10.6% ENH 11/26/03 $31.04 $31.78 1.3 weeks +2.4% FWHT 12/04/03 $17.54 $17.15 0.1 weeks -2.2% HDWR 10/27/03 $17.36 $19.05 5.6 weeks +9.8% KSWS 10/23/03 $42.84 $45.37 6.1 weeks +5.9% MATK 11/13/03 $54.87 $58.39 3.1 weeks +6.4% QLTI 11/24/03 $16.19 $18.86 1.6 weeks +16.5% TRMB 10/29/03 $27.84 $30.15 5.3 weeks +8.3% *********** Weekly Status Report: Positions Closed Last Week *********** Stock Buy NetBuy Sell NetSell Holding Gain* Symbol Date Price* Date Price* Period (Loss) ----- -------- ------ -------- ------ --------- ------ CAMD 11/24/03 $8.38 12/04/03 $7.66 1.4 weeks -8.6% DIOD 11/04/03 $16.97 12/04/03 $18.94 4.3 weeks +11.6% RE 11/24/03 $80.36 12/04/03 $81.19 1.4 weeks +1.0% SHRP 11/25/03 $30.83 12/04/03 $29.28 1.3 weeks -5.0% * "Net" buy prices are the total net purchase cost after commissions for all managed accounts divided by the total number of shares.
