PRIME STOCK NEWSLETTER FOR June 4th, 2009

(If you do not see today's edition, please hit the refresh button)

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 moved moderately lower yesterday on a day that saw light trading volume. It was a broad based move that saw the vast majority of the sector indices I track move lower as well. The weakest sectors on the day were the Natural Gas, Oil & Gas, Commodities, Cyclicals, Insurance, Chemicals, Telecom, Disk Drive Manufacturers, Airlines, Broker/Dealers, Transports, Banking, Retailers, High Tech, Consumer and Pharmaceutical indices. The Biotech index moved higher on the day, as did the price of gold and bond as interest rates moved lower on the day.

It is interesting to note that the several of the sector indices, as has the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 100 both rallied to their 200 day moving average recently, and both have failed to break though to the upside of their respective 200 day moving average, and moved lower instead.

Our Analysis: The shares of T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. 'TROW' closed above a recently established resistance level on heavier than normal trading volume. This is a bullish trading signal. The shares of 'TROW' should continue to move higher and test $47.23/share, a former point of downside support that has now become a point of upside resistance that was established on July 15th of last year. If the shares of 'TROW' close above that level, as I expect they will, then the shares of 'TROW' should continue to move higher and test $65.61/share, a point of upside resistance established on September 19th of last year. I see downside support on the shares of 'TROW' @ $41.28//share, and have set my stops accordingly @ $40.87/share
