JERRY OLSON'S
"POINT" OF VIEW NEWSLETTER
DATED FEB 17TH 2002
"THE CORRECTION CONTINUES"

Hi Everyone, hope all is well with you and yours...

Well Arlene and me got back from St. Maarten tanned and rested, a little over weight<g>, diet Monday for damn sure, but all in all it was very nice for us to get away...Hoping to head down to Florida next month or April for 3-4 days as well...I cleared the cobwebs and feel rejuvenated..You might want to try to get away yourselves..it really does help...

I tried not to think about the markets too much<g>, just watched the daily numbers not CNBC...not kidding either..heck i'd be DOA<VBG>...If you review the last short newsletter on Thursday of the week i left, you can judge for yourself the accuracy of those up side targets...we were right on the money..i felt we had gotten oversold, and were due for a bounce...the whole scenario played out well what with Carpino calling for a cycle top on Friday too...the selloff was very strong, and i'm thinking we are going down right here to test the recent lows..,1080 SPX...we'll watch those numbers to see if they hold, if not?, next stop is 1050ish..then 1030..a bottom there i think..

we talked about it briefly in the room on Friday i dropped by to say hello and tell everyone i'm back...I've been saying all along that the NYSE is much stronger than the NAZ stocks..and thats of course very evident...The NAZ and NDX both look very weak to me..and now the BKX, the Banking Index is starting to roll over here and down, so this could push the DOW down too...There are a lot of crosscurrents moving in and out of the internals of this market right here...it will be difficult to trade if your not on your toes, alert and focused...

As soon as this washout occurs i am going long about 10 stocks using options for the July Time frame..I want to SEE the bottom hold and reverse back up here in our 2 favorite sectors, Bio techs & Semis..they are near the 30% level and becoming oversold..they will lead this next best rally up for sure..i'll be there with bells on, AND SO WILL YOU...So get your houses in order, sign those options papers etc..i'm tired of telling you<g>..

BTW thanks for those stocks with dividends, i got 1 from a non subscriber...hey what ever turns you on...we did touch on it in the room..it's a sensational way to rake in about 10-15% per year on a solid investment for your longer term portfolio's...so recheck and send me some goodies to look at..we want LEAP Calls if possible..if not, then any options will do...thats the leverage folks...we talked about MO, the stocks at 51+ the Jan 2003 55 strike leaps are $2.50, it pays a $2.52 dividend...so you buy the stock say 1000 shares for $51, 500...it pays you $2500 in dividends for the year, plus you pick up another $2500 for writing the Jan 2003 55 strike leaps, and guess what..if the stock is OVER 55, you make ANOTHER 3 1/2 points from 51 1/2 to 55..thats $3500 added to your deal..if the stock stands still under 55 you take in $5000 bucks or about 9+++% for your money....HELLO?????????????????..NO GOOD HUH?? NOT ENOUGH OF A KICK??? BEATS THE HELL OUT OF YOUR SAVINGS ACCOUNTS, YOUR CD'S...AND THERE'S A TON MORE STOCKS LIKE THESE OUT THERE..FIND THEM AND LET ME KNOW SO I CAN CHECK THEM OUT FOR US ALL...

So anyway what i'm thinking here is we continue to correct, pulling back toward my downside targets on all the indexs, and then base build for 1-2-3 weeks and then begin to rally into and ahead of this quarters earnings reports...I think the forward guidance will be BETTER than expected, and we should be in and holding for our swing and position type trades...I can already SEE the 2 sectors bottoming right then and there, then reversing back up below 30% in a BULL ALERT Status to present a serious, very serious buying opportunity for us all...I want us to IN those trades early waiting for the NEWS the upgrades and all of the Wall Street Wizards hailing the next coming of the BULL Market while we're in there laughing our you know whats off<G>..Let's be patient...no rush, do not anticipate...we wait for the bottom, then the reversal up..i'll get for us all...Let's look at the indexs


DJIA---STRONGEST OF ALL INDEXS SO FAR...BROKE A TRIPLE TOP AY 9950 TOUCHED 10050 AND THEN REVERSED BACK DOWN 3 NORMAL BOXES SO FAR...DOES IT MOVE LOWER THIS WEEK TO TEST 9550, OR?, DOES IT REVERSE BACK UP TO BREAK OUT AT 10,100...ONLY THE SHADOW KNOWS<G>..MY GUESS IS DOWN...THERE'S A NICE DOJI ON THE DAILY CANDLE CHART TOO...

NAZ/COMPX---LOOKS VERY WEAK TO ME, IT'S GIVEN 3 CONSECUTIVE SELL SIGNALS IN A ROW LOWER BOTTOMS EACH TIME...1760 THE DOUBLE BOTTOM(DN) SELL SIGNAL...TEST 1640/1700...THERE'S A DOJI ON THE DAILY "UNDER" THE 20 EMA TOO...

NDX--VERY WEAK CHART, I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS ONE FOR MONTHS..THE WEAKEST LINK OF THEM ALL...NOT GOOD FOR THE LONGS ON THE QQQ'S EITHER...THE P&F CHART PATTERN LOOKS LIKE DEATH AND DESTRUCTION "COULD " HAPPEN HERE QUICKLY...SO THIS INDEX RALLIES RIGHT UP TO MY TARGET AT 1500<G>, ROLLED OVER AND SOLD OFF DOWN TO 1440, THE NEXT SELL SIGNAL IS 1400..LOOKOUT BELOW ON THAT ONE FOLKS..TARGET 1320ISH...


ALSO DID A BACKSIDE BOUNCE UP AND INTO HEAVY R(RESISTANCE) AT THE 20 EMA DAILY CANDLE CHART..DOES EVERYONE UNDERSTAND WHAT A BACKSIDE BOUNCE IS??? IF NOT PLEASE BRING IT UP IN THE ROOM OR VIA E-MAIL TO ME..YOU "MUST" UNDERSTAND ALL THIS LONGO, BETWEEN POINT & FIGURE AND CANDLESTICKS..MUST!!!!!

VXN---VERY NEAR THE BRINK OF A BIG TRIPLE BOTTOM HERE WHICH IS BULLISH FOR THE MARKETS...WATCH AND SET ALERTS AT 42...46 IS THE 3 BOX REVERSAL BACK UP WITH A POSSIBLE TEST OF 50/51 THE TOP AS A POSSIBILITY...

VIX---SAME SCENARIO,, HOLDING 22/23 FOR 2 MONTHS, A BOTTOM?, 26 THE 3 BOX REVERSAL UP, AND 21 A REAL BIG TIME BREAKDOWN THERE, BUT GOOD FOR THE LONG SIDE...WATCHING BOTH INDEXS...

OF O'S..WE COULD TEST 1080 1ST TARGET, OR WE COULD REVERSE BACK UP HERE TO 1116..I THINK WE TEST AND BREAK 1080 EASILY...THE 61.8% FULL RETRACE DOWN ON THIS INDEX IS AT 1033...I THINK 1050 WILL BE TOUGH TO BREAK FIRST, A 50% RETRACE DOWN...SO WE WATCH, WE PLAY IT CAREFULLY, NO RUSH, BE CALM, RELAXED, AND TRADE SMART..DO NOT FIGHT THIS TREND...

Hi Jerry,
The next day I was in Beijing and only had a 19.2 connection so I wasn't real keen on being online much. (back in HK for one day and then home).

I'll probably stop by next week.

Hello Jerry,

Well it's good of you to post your weekly newsletter a week after it's hot of the press so folks can see what you're doing and they can also learn a bit. You lay it out so all can see!

A few notes from Friday and the week:

For the shortened four day weekly period ending 2/22/02, the nine Spdr Sectors, [XLB-Basic Industries; XLE-Energy; XLF-Financial; XLI-Industrial; XLK-Technology; XLP-Consumer Staples; XLU-Utilities; XLV-Consumer Services; XLY-Cyclical/Transportation] ended up as follows:

XLE: +3.64%; XLB: +3.31%, XLV: +2.60%; XLP: +2.42%; XLI: +2.05%; XLY: +1.14%; XLU: +.61%; XLF: +.08% and XLK: -2.85%.

Weekly Energy movers were RDC: +6.77%; EP: +6.69%; DVN: 6.45%; AHC: +5.95% and BR: +5.83%. On Friday, the 28 stocks in this Spdr all advanced.

Weekly Basic Ind movers were LPX: +15.77%; HPC: 9.36%; AA: +7.23%; PPG: +5.88% and PTV: +4.5%. Friday’s action had 28 gainers and 9 losers.

Weekly Consumer Services were CMCSK: +7.08%; MDP: +5.22%; HCA: +4.43; MHP: +4.27% and CCU: +4.11%. Friday’s action had 27 gainers and 17 losers.

Of the following 24 stocks (AFFX, BRCD, BRCM, CCMP, CHKP, CYMI, EBAY, EMLX, GENZ, GILD, GNSS, IDPH, IVGN, MYGN, NVDA, PTEN, QCOM, QLGC, SEBL, SEPR, SII, SLB AND VRSN) 6 are above their 20 DMA, 5 above their 50 DMA and 8 above their 200 DMA. There were 14 gainers and 9 losers. GENZ crossed and closed above its 20 DMA.

Weekly movers were IDPH: +10.8%; SII: +6.5%; PTEN: +4.11%; SLB: +4.1% and GILD: +3.07%. Weekly downward movers were QCOM: -12.38%; SEBL: -9.28%; NVDA: -6.78%; MYGN: -6.26% and CYMI: -5.3%.

Friday’s best were PTEN: +4.63%; QLGC: +3.56%; VRSN: +3.48%; CHKP: +3.46%; SLB: +3.45%. Friday’s hardest hit were NVDA: -4.91%; EBAY: -3.3%; SEBL: -2.79% and BRCD: -2.44%.

For those who have a high risk tolerance, a good paying utility dividend is Puget Energy up in the Northwest. They are getting heat from their legislature and utilities commission (that regulates their charges). They have applied for a rate increase and many are demanding that they reduce their dividend. Puget's fighting hard to keep them. So -- who knows<g>. The stock does have a history of bouncing between 18 and 28 over many years. Current dividend is 8.8%

stockcharts.com[PA][DA][F!3!.5!]&pref=G

It's price objective is 32 but that is clearly not likely. A 26 to 27 is not out of the question though. I like to be paid while I wait. Friday's candle is strong and near a low. For fun and paper trading purposes only a buy at 21.05, stop at 19.75 has a R/R of 5.95/1.3 or 4.5/1

Take care,

Eric
