20060728 Wizard Mid-day

Unsolicited from the "Wiz".

Friday, Jul. 28, 2006 - 2:05 PM ET

SLW: consolidation here with resistance at $10.00. A failure at that level should be viewed as a reversal signal.

BGO: Acting well here. The next resistance level is the $6.00 level.

STJ: Beautiful.

OVTI: Beginning to rally off the 500 DMA. This play might not work so we will monitor. The stochastics are turning up here.

JBLU: Finding support at the lows of July. The bias is still down but moving higher at these levels is suspect.

CTX: Nice candle so far today and still finding the 50 DMA as solid resistance. Great reward/risk setup.

BZH: This rally looks more promising than CTX. We will watch this as we continue on today for additional strength and a possible stop out.

China

Tony writes a newsletter. He says,

Here are some of the companies I’m watching right now ...

Aluminum Corporation of China (NYSE:ACH) is the largest producer of aluminum in China (and the only producer of alumina).

Jiangxi Copper (OTCBB: JIXAY) is in the cat bird’s seat because China’s growing power transmission network means strong demand for highly conductive metal.

Yanzhou Coal Mining (NYSE: YZC) operates six coal mines in China with 1968 million tonnes of proven reserves. Plus, the company provides valuable rail transportation services.

Swire Pacifica (Hong Kong: 0019) is best known for its Cathay Pacific airline. But the company also operates Shekou Container Terminals, one of the fast-growing ports in South China.

Guangshen Railway (NYSE: GSH) operates the main passenger and freight railroad between Guangzhou and Shenzhen — two of the primary manufacturing cities in China — and Hong Kong.
