    New Recommendations
       

Short Positions: 
        new 
                      TISI = 21-day ma of Accum. Index.  IP21=current value of Accum. Index.   
           In general, we will cover short sales, especially if their CLosing Power downtrends are violated.   

     Cover   CSS  18.72 +.93  New red buy. 
      
      
Long Positions: (These are arranged so that the most recent are shown first.)
             Important in this weak market   Sell falls back below 50-day ma,
                       false breakouts and breakdowns by Closing Power below uptrends.   

    XTXI      6.71 +2.10     By far highest volume in a year.  Down from 30 without much of a rally.
                   Surpassed 50-day ma.   At 7.8, we get a double.  Take profits there.  The Natural Gas
                   perpetual contract is still showing red Distribution. 

    FLIR    31.59 -.02   Very high volume move past 50-day ma.  Now at price downtrendline.
                  CP is much stronger than price action.  This is bullish.
    
   OPTR  11.25 +.79    IP21=.40

   NNI  14.57 +.56    Nelnet    AI/200=167  Red Sell.

   UBSH   23.97 +.11   Union Bankshares   IP21=.40

   ABFS Arkansas Best 29.70 +.04          above 50-day ma - Hold despite red Sell.
                       Goal is 31.5 - Sell at that point.  CP is at NH.
      
    ANSS ANysys 29.08 +.27     Broke 50-dma

    ATLO Ames National 26.81 -.60       42 was September peak.

     OTTR Otter Tail Corp 22.56 -.37  Broke Closing Power uptrend.
                 A decline to 21 and turn back up would set up an inverted head and
                 shoulders bottom. 

                           Commodity Investments
                                                 
        Platinum 1620   962.90 +10.60          AI<0 and  above declining 50-day ma.

            AI/200=146     57.10 +1.12         False breakout above 57 resistance.
            Seems best to buy it near 50 in this market.
