Freddie Mac (FRE)
Freddie Mac (FRE) has been in the news the past few of days. On Tuesday, the NYT reported that the CEO continually pursued risky mortgages aggressively. Today, Bloomberg reported that Freddie Mac "slashed its dividend at least 80 percent after posting a quarterly loss that was three times wider than analysts' estimates."
 
These matter not to us. Freddie Mac went on a Sell signal back in October 2007 when it was well over $40; It generated another sell signal in early July over $16.

Graham Corp. (GHM) - Relative Strength Leader (Revisiting our July 21st 2008 blog post)

Back on July 21st 2008, we posted a blog on GHM, which was one of the markets relative strength leaders at the time.  We told our blog readers the fact it was holding up strong while the rest of the market was falling off suggested it would be a good shot term trading candidate with a near term target of $ 100 (it was $ 91.00 at the time of the blog post).  On Friday GHM shares pushed above $ 100.00, hitting our short-term target.  We believe no GHM shares will continue to rise and outpace the market.  If other words if you own - HOLD 'EM !!

General Motors (GM) still reeling

General Motors Corp. (GM) said Friday its losses widened to $15.5 billion in the second quarter as North American sales plummeted and the company faced expenses due to labor unrest and its massive restructuring plan. The loss of $27.33 per share is the third-worst quarterly loss in the automaker's history. In the same period a year earlier.

 

GM has long been a low-ranked FusionIQ stock, hence why we have told investors to avoid it.  It presently is ranked a 12 out of a possible 100 in FusionIQ.  Therefore we would continue to expect GM to struggle and still consider it an issue to avoid.
