DETECTING OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE INSTITUTIONAL INVESTOR

THE TUESDAY, JANUARY 3rd, WEEKLY UPDATE

We're now at that time of the year when so many investors, and some market advisors, like to "peer into the future," DJI - 12217.56 and guess what the New Year has in store for us. But those of you who have been with us for quite a while know SPX - 1257.60 that that is not the way we "play the game." Our approach is to constantly reevaluate things as "cards come out of COMP - 2605.15 the deck," and deal with the probabilities as they present themselves. Happily, that approach led to us being bullish NDX - 2277.83 from September of 2010 into the April 2011 top. Thereafter, as you'll recall, in May, we turned quite negative on RUT - 740.92 the market's outlook, and except for that intermediate term positive signal that we flashed in early October, we've been cautious ever since - and we still are. In the meantime, a further reason to spend less time "guessing" about the future course of the market is provided by just looking at what took place in the S&P 500 Index (SPX - cash) over the past year. This blue chip gauge closed 2010 at a reading of 1257.64, and now, one year later, its final reading for 2011 is 1257.60!!! So, without probing beneath the surface, a cursory glance would have you think that not much took place in the past year. However, all of us who have been on "the firing lines" know that nothing could be further from the truth. Besides the market exhibiting historic volatility (which we expect to continue as we move into the New Year), plenty of issues which we were bearish on in the past several months got hit "big time," such as Amazon.com, Bank of America, Citigroup, Ctrip.com Intl., Goldman Sachs Group, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Netflix, Sina Corp., Sohu.com, etc., as well as dozens of other issues. At the same time, many of our most favored issues (especially in the blue chip area) did quite nicely. This "split and divergent" action reinforces what we've been telling you for the past several months, which is that "in this difficult and challenging environment, we have to do a whole lot more than simply talk about the market, if we're going to continue to do well." And the way the charts look as we move into the New Year, we expect to see a continuation of this "two-way tape" so, as we've also been stressing for the past several months, it's imperative that you remain "neurotically disciplined." With that said, let's now turn our attention to the market's longer term outlook which, of course, is the most important trend of all, which we still view as being in a neutral position. In the meantime, despite all the "wiggles and jiggles" that continue to take place on the tape, not much has changed as far as this trend is concerned, as things remain "mixed," as can be seen by examining our proprietary S&P Survey (the percentage of stocks that are technically healthy - in Stages 1&2 - in that key universe), which is unchanged this week, at a reading of 54%. As we told you last time, "while that is the best figure since late May," it's still far below the long term bullish threshold (70% or higher). In the same vein, our Secondary Survey also didn't budge, as it, too, is unchanged from last week's figure of 47% (and, as we stressed last time, "the fact that it continues to lag behind the S&P Survey is a sign that, short term rallies aside, and excluding things that you may want to 'rent' for a quick January 'pop,' our most favored big cap issues are a far better place to be playing"). In the meantime, another sign of the continuing "mixed" nature of this tape can be seen by noting that the Dow is the only one of the popular averages that continues to trade above its 200 day moving average (while the SPX - cash - is slightly below its longer term MA, and the Nasdaq Composite Index and the Russell 2000 Index - COMP and RUT, respectively - are still well below their respective 200 day moving averages). And, while we're on the subject of these longer term moving averages, remember what we told you last time, which was that "it will be important to see if all of the indexes can move above their longer term MA's in the coming sessions, or whether we'll once again be treated to yet another negative divergence." If the resistance provided by these longer term moving averages can't be overcome in the next week or two and, instead, these indexes start to break below their short term support levels (which we'll give you later on in this summary), as well as their respective 50 day moving averages, that would be an important setback, and would indicate that a more serious correction is getting ready to get underway. So, as we've been stressing for the past several weeks, there are obviously still "plenty of mixed signals to be aware of." At the same time, it's even more concerning that there are still the outright negative long term signals that continue to be given off by indicators such as our Glamour Average, which remains in a toppy and vulnerable Stage 3 position (note that this average dragged "big time" on the "Santa Claus rally," and is currently at a reading of 5569 - and if, at any point "down the road," it breaks down and closes below 5088, that will indicate that it's moving into Stage 4A, and that would be an important negative signal, not only for this average, but for the overall long term trend). Furthermore, it's also not "thrilling" that our World Market Index continues to display such poor relative strength, even as it undergoes its latest short term rally (it's also important to note that, while the SPX was unchanged for the past year, this area, which we've been so negative on, was actually down 8% during the past 12 months). Finally, it's also unfavorable for this trend that the Mutual Fund Cash Ratio is still quite low (at 4%), and that

WEEKLY UPDATE - PAGE 2

Margin Debt continues to contract, as it has now declined in 6 out of the past 7 reporting periods. So it should be obvious why we continue to stress that, until our Weight of the Evidence shows significant improvement, we want you to continue to treat this tape in a very cautious and defensive manner. Nevertheless, as we've also been stressing for the past several weeks, it's important to note that "there are a few long term 'early warning' positives that we should be aware of," such as the favorable action being displayed by our Eleven O'clock indicator (but even this gauge, from a near term point of view, continues to correct sharply). In addition, our Alert Indicator (AAA bond yields/13 week Tbill rates) remains in a favorable position (although, near term, it, too, is now pulling back) while, at the same time, Corporate Insider selling is still relatively low (its latest 8 week figure is down to 2.64). In addition, our New Offerings gauge is now down to a reading of 25, which is the lowest such figure since late August of 2009. Finally, it's also positive that the DJ Utility Average remains in a solid Stage 2 uptrend. So, as we told you last time, "it's obvious, when you carefully sift through our Weight of the Evidence, why we continue to stress that things are in such a 'mixed' and 'split' state." OK, now that we've examined the market's longer term outlook in detail, let's turn our attention to the intermediate term trend, which we still view as being in a neutral position. Here, too, things are "mixed," as can be seen by the fact that, on the negative side of this ledger, for the 31st straight week, there are once again more unfavorably rated than favorably rated groups in today's update (although, at the same time, it is encouraging shorter term that, for the second straight week, our more sensitive buy/sell ratio shows that there are more buy recommendations than sells in today's update). In the meantime, it's also a problem for this trend that, despite the "Santa Claus rally," all three (NYSE, ASE, and OTC) of our Most Active Stocks gauges continue to lag badly (the NYSE figure is at a reading of -9, while its OTC counterpart is in even worse shape, at -17). This shows that "big money" is still refusing to aggressively play this rally (but, as we told you last time, "it's obvious that they are doing buying in our most bullishly-rated areas, which remain Foods, Pharmaceuticals, Restaurants, Tobacco, Utilities, and select REITS"). Furthermore, it's also negative that all three of our 30 day New High-New Low moving averages have continued to lag badly throughout this latest rally (but, here, too, note that the "split" action that we've been telling you to expect is making itself felt, as many of our more defensive favorites, such as the Pharmaceutical and Utility issues that we've been bullish on, are helping the NYSE figures to do far better than the OTC New High-New Low figures, which are still in terrible shape - note that, despite the latest rally, there have been more new 52-week lows than new yearly highs in "Nasdaq-land" in 38 out of the past 43 sessions). Finally, it's also a sign to "go slow" that, according to the Investors Intelligence survey, the percentage of bullish market advisors is now up to a reading of 50.5%, which is the highest such figure since mid-May! So, even though there are some positives for this trend, such as the fact that all of the popular averages continue to hold well above their intermediate term danger levels (note that, in a moment, we're going to raise those levels), and that most of the market indexes continue to trade above their respective 50 day moving averages (but, sticking with the "mixed" nature of this tape, that statement isn't true for the COMP). So, as we've been stressing for the past few weeks, "with such mixed signals, it's not surprising that the market has responded with the 'range-bound' action that we've been treated to." But, as we've also told you, "such action won't last forever," and here are some new intermediate term levels which should help show us if this trend is budging off "dead center." On the upside, a close above those four intermediate term resistance levels that we spoke about last time - SPX (cash) 1294; Dow 12,400; COMP 2755; and RUT 770 - would signal the strong likelihood that, despite the incredible "cross-currents" that are knocking this tape back and forth, the intermediate term trend is finally turning moderately positive. Conversely, a close, at any time in the coming weeks, now below the following four new intermediate danger levels would indicate that this trend is running into serious trouble, and is turning negative once again. Those four intermediate term danger levels to now focus on are: SPX (cash) 1200; Dow 11,730; COMP 2515; and RUT 705. OK, now that we've carefully studied both the intermediate and longer term trends, let's turn our attention to the "whippy" shorter term outlook. As anticipated the "Santa Claus rally" arrived on schedule, but it was far from being of "A+" quality (note how poorly many issues which have been on our sell list acted throughout the advance, such as Agrium Inc., BMC Software, Deckers Outdoor, IPG Photonics, Level 3 Communications, Shutterfly, Sina Corp., Solera Holdings, Zagg Inc., etc.). In addition, we gave you four short term resistance levels last time to focus on, which we said "should tell us whether or not this latest advance will 'get legs' in the coming sessions, or will once again run into trouble as it moves into the area of heavy supply that is just overhead." As things turned out, the rally hit a "stone wall," and a short term "negative divergence" was flashed on Tuesday (12/27), as the Dow was the only average that moved above (even on an intraday basis) its resistance level of 12,300. [The SPX (cash) failed right beneath its 1270 level (the

actual intraday high was 1269.37), and the RUT failed below its 764 level, while the COMP didn't even get close to reaching its 2676 resistance level (the best that it could achieve was a move up to 2633)]. So, not surprisingly, the rest of the week was boring, and "nothing to write home about." For a sign that this trend (which is now currently neutral) is turning positive once again, those short term levels are still operative, with only the Dow having its short term level now altered to 12,330. In the meantime, on the downside, here are four new short term danger levels to keep an eye on, which would tell us that this boring sideways action is giving way to a new correction. Those four new short term downside levels now are: SPX (cash) 1235; Dow 12,100; COMP 2585; and RUT 729. But, remember, as was the case in 2011 (and we expect it to also be true in the coming year), the key to profitability has been making sure that we do much more than simply focus on these sharp market moves - instead, we need to pay at least equal attention to "stock selection." We, therefore, continue to feel very strongly that "staying in gear" with the technicals will be crucial to starting the New Year off on a happy note. Now, as far as groups are concerned, those sectors that we now rate favorably are: Banks-Diversified, Biotechnology, Broadcasting, Construction Materials, Data Processing & Outsource, Distillers & Vintners, Distributors, Diversified Consumer Services, Education Services, Footwear, Homebuilding, Household Products, Housewares & Specialties, Integrated Oil & Gas, Integrated Telecomm Services, Internet Software & Services, Movies & Entertainment, Oil & Gas Storage & Transport, Packaged Foods & Meats, Paper Products, Pharmaceuticals, Publishing, REITS-Retail, REITS-Specialized, Research & Consulting Services, Restaurants, Retail-Apparel, Retail-Automotive, Retail-Home Improvement, Retail-Hypermarkets & Supercenters, Soft Drinks, Specialized Consumer Services, Tobacco, Trading Companies & Distributors, Utilities-Electric, UtilitiesGas, and Utilities-Multi. As for those areas which are most negative, all of the following are still in poor technical shape: Agricultural Products, Airlines, Aluminum, Application Software, Asset Management & Custody Banks, Auto Parts & Equipment, Automobile Manufacturers, Cable & Satellite, Casinos & Gaming, Chemicals-Diversified, Coal & Consumer Fuels, Commercial Printing, Computer Storage & Peripherals, Construction & Engineering, Construction, Farm Machinery & Heavy Trucks, Consumer Finance, Diversified Financial Services Other, Diversified Metals & Mining, Electrical Components & Equipment, Electronic Components, Electronic Equipment & Instruments, Electronic Manufacturing Services, Environmental & Facilities Service, Fertilizers & Agricultural Chemicals, Gold Stocks, Health Care Distributors, Health Care Equipment, Health Care Facilities, Health Care Technology, Home Entertainment Software, Household Appliances, Industrial Machinery, Industrial Power Producers & Energy Traders, Insurance-Life & Health, Insurance-Multi-Line, Investment Banking & Brokerage, Leisure Products, Life Science Tools & Services, Office Electronics, Office Services & Supplies, Oil & Gas Drilling, Oil & Gas Equipment & Services, Oil & Gas Exploration & Production, Oil & Gas Refining & Marketing, Paper Packaging, Personal Products, Photographic Products, Real Estate Management & Development, Real Estate Services, REITS-Diversified, REITS-Industrial, Retail-Computers & Electronics, Retail-Internet, Retail-Specialty Stores, Semiconductor Equipment, Specialized Finance, Steel, Systems Software, and Wireless Telecomm Services. Now, here are those stocks that have good technical patterns at this time, and which you can do buying in: Abbott Labs (ABT - 56.23) do additional buying on pullbacks toward the 55-55.50 zone with a 53.79 trading sell stop and the investing stop now raised to 51.99; Advance America Cash Advance Centers (AEA - 8.95) closing above 9.45 with an 8.39 trading sell stop and a 6.89 investing stop; Akamai Technologies (AKAM - 32.28) is extended, so do additional buying on pullbacks toward the 29-30.50 zone with a 27.99 trading sell stop and a 25.69 investing stop; Alexion Pharmaceuticals (ALXN - 71.50) do additional buying now closing above 72.25 with a 66.49 trading sell stop and the investing stop raised to 55.99; Altria Group (MO - 29.65) do additional buying on pullbacks toward the 28.50-29 zone with a 27.99 trading sell stop and a 26.79 investing stop; AMAG Pharmaceuticals (AMAG - 18.91) now closing above 19.65 with a 17.99 trading sell stop and a 14.99 investing stop; American Campus Communities (ACC - 41.96) do additional buying on pullbacks toward support now in the 40-40.50 zone with a 38.99 trading sell stop and the investing stop raised to 36.59; American Electric Power (AEP - 41.31) do additional buying on pullbacks toward the 40-40.50 zone with a 38.99 trading sell stop and a 36.99 investing stop; Amgen (AMGN - 64.21) is extended, so do additional buying on pullbacks toward support now in the 60.50-62 zone with a 57.99 trading sell stop and the investing stop raised to 55.99; Arch Capital Group (ACGL - 37.23) do additional buying closing above 38 with a 35.99 trading sell stop and the investing stop now raised to 33.99; Arthur J

As for bonds, there's no change, as the long term trend remains in a moderately bullish position. In the meantime, the shorter term outlook, too, has improved, as the latest selloff held well above that key support at 140 that we spoke about last time (basis March). Furthermore, a close now above the 146.35 level would not only signal that the trading outlook is strengthening further, but that would also indicate that the major trend is moving from a moderately positive to a clearly bullish position. Conversely, a failure to accomplish that feat, followed by a close now below the 141.50 level, would indicate that the near term trend is turning negative, and that a test of that more significant support near 140 is once again getting underway. As for gold, the long term trend continues to weaken, and we now rate it as being in a moderately negative position. However, from a very near term point of view, this contract is oversold, and looks ready to rally back toward resistance now in the 1600-1625 area (basis February). Thereafter, "down the road," a close now below the 1523 level would signal that the major trend is weakening further, to a clearly bearish position. In the meantime, as far as the HUI (NYSE Arca Gold BUGS) Index is concerned, as has been the case for the past several months, it remains in even worse shape than the bullion, as it continues to display absolutely horrid relative strength. We, therefore, view the long term trend as being in a negative position, although near term, it, too, is oversold, and looks ready for a trading move back toward resistance near 520. Thereafter, a break (on a closing basis) now below 477 would signal that the major trend is weakening to an even greater degree, and that yet another new downleg is getting underway. Next, all of us here at Global Trend Alert want to once again wish you a very Happy and Healthy 2012!!! Finally, since we'll be publishing our new monthly issue of Global Trend Alert this coming weekend, there will be no weekly update on Monday, January 9th. You will, however, be receiving the January 2012 issue of GTA via FedEx on Tuesday morning, January 10th (and, for those of you who also receive a copy of the monthly issue via email, it should be in your inbox late Sunday night, 1/8).
