June 3rd Edition

Good Morning All,

The market closed last week with an important advance above the S&P 500 resistance level of 915 and continued this bullish mode Monday with a confirmation outburst over 940. The consolidation we witnessed yesterday is likely to continue through Thursday as the technicals prepare for a much sharper breakout toward our early summer target near 1100. This latest push may also be holding back until Air Force One has successfully cleared Middle East air space on its way to the 65th D-Day ceremonies on June 6th.

The Market has proven once again that it is discounting mechanism as final news of the GM bankruptcy came in the face of a 200-plus point Dow Jones advance. Naysayers continue to abound, and this too confirms our belief in our oft-stated adage that bulls are long stock and are therefore potential sellers, while bears are loaded with cash and will one day be buyers. The power of this phenomenon is compounded by those "short the market" that will once again be squeezed by week's end.

The two small-cap oil sands selections we posted Monday are respectively and respectably up 12 and 39%. This is just too easy to go on without pause... forever, so watch the technicals and get ready to take profits in early July when our near-term target is hit.

In the meantime we are working on an idea for a GOP fundraiser to be held in Yankee stadium; it would include Cheney, Rove, Limbaugh, Rummy, Ann Coulter, and others. It could involve waterboarding and other such Abu Ghraib practices, during which a running tote board would provide scrolling odds based on who would break first. We are open to suggestions on who would best act as the Master of Ceremonies. So far Al Gore and Hillary are among the choices...in leather.
