    August 22, 2011 St ock s are Cheap, but t he Technic als are Weak!

    At ValuEngine we cover more than 5,500 stocks and 89.1% are undervalued. All sixteen sectors

    are undervalued with thirteen undervalued by 22.7% to 34.0%. The technicals for the majorequity averages have deteriorated quickly since the Dow Transports reached an all time high a5,627.85 on July 7th. Transports are down 25.0% since then and below its 200-week simplemoving average at 4334. The Russell 2000 and SOX are down 25.0% and 27.6% since their May2nd highs. Focusing on the Dow Industrial Average a close this week below the 200-weeksimple moving average at 10,729 is the next technical warning. A monthly close below the 120-month simple moving average at 10,568 leaves us with no value levels until my semiannualvalue levels at 9,635 and 8,468 as the monthly chart turns negative. Another warning would becloses below my NASDAQ annual pivot at 2335.

    10-Year Note (2.071) Semiannual, weekly, annual and quarterly value levels are 2.414, 2.428, 2.690and 3.053 with a daily pivot at 2.079, and my semiannual risky level at 1.672.

    of all stocks were undervalued. All sixteen sectors are undervalued, all by double-digit percentages, thirteen by 22.7% to

    The FDIC kicked bank failures down the road. The FDIC closed 68 community banks so far onBank Failure Fridays in 2011, and almost all had significant overexposures to Commercial Real Estateloans including Construction & Development loans. Based upon the regulatory guidelines the FDIC

    should have begun to close overexposed banks in 2007, but they ignored the guidelines and onlybegan to seize failed banks in 2008 with just 25 failures. 140 banks failed in 2009 with a peak of 50 inthe third quarter. 157 banks failed in 2010. We know have 68 bank failures in 2011, and 390 since theend of 2007. I still predict 500 to 800 bank failures in total by the end of 2012 into 2013. There arstill 759 of the 7,574 FDIC-Insured Financial Institutions overexposed to C & D loans. Another 1,466community banks are overexposed to CRE. Pipeline Risk, the ratio of CRE loans to CRE loancommitments, 3,810 community banks have a Pipeline of 80% or higher of their real estate loansfunded, 50.3% of all FDIC- insured banks. C&D loans total $295.5 billion and including CRE loans tota$1.06 trillion, a total of $1.356 trillion in legacy problem loans that remain on bank balance sheets.There is talk that community banks may be allowed to amortize loses on CRE loans over a seven yeaperiod, when most should be liquidated.
