2011-08-24: Stock and ETF Model Update and Commentary

Tze 12:16 AM

The stock model is updated to reflect today’s market move. You can download the entire model Excel output file here: StockModelFile_20110824 Remember we do welcome individual stock and ETF commentary requests. All you have to do is submit your request or questions in the comments section of this post and we will promptly reply.

This morning we focus a long position in BAC (Bank of America) and a short position in MU (Micron Technology, Inc.) Charts are provided by contributor Roller Coaster.

According to our ranking model, BAC’s valuation is extremely cheap at the moment. We can tell from our book, PE and PEG related composite value factors. However, it can get cheaper! It made a new low on high volume, but it didn’t fall too much.  Potentially, we can see a relief rally here.

Micron Technology ranks poorly within the FocalEquity Stock Ranking model because its valuation related metrics are particularly unattractive relative to its industry peers. This stock has been declining without any significant retracements.  It’s possible this stock will continue to fall until it finds support.

ETF Model Update:

Today we like to highlight DRN (Direxion Real Estate Bull 3X). With the huge rally yesterday, many of the bear ETFs generated sell signals in the model. You should carefully look at each trading signal and ask us questions on our blog if you are uncertain.

DRN had a strong close on high volume August 9, 2011.  It’s pulled back recently on light volume.  There can be another push higher from here.
