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 yesterday essentially unchanged. It is worth noting that in my review of the charts from yesterday's trading activity that the current market rally is starting to show signs of topping out, as many stocks are failing to continue their recent advances and the number of stocks to choose today's trading recommendation from has declined dramatically from last week's levels.
Also, please note that we did not publish a trading recommendation yesterday, July 27th.
