(NYSE: ELY) Today I sold all 60 shares at 32. I had bought these shares Feb. 5 at a split-adjusted price of 24 1/2 (Vol.2 #24). After this trade, the account value is $35,944. Of that, $30,313 is long stocks and $5,632 is cash. IRA Account (editor's personal account): * SELL 60 Callaway Golf Co. (NYSE: ELY) Today I sold all 60 shares at 32. I had bought these shares Feb. 5 at a split-adjusted price of 24 3/8 (Vol.2 #24). After this trade, the account value is $39,514. Of that, $30,313 is long stocks and $9,201 is cash. DESI(tm) Account (a computer-simulated hypothetical account): No trades DESI(tm) Buy/Sell Signals (computer-generated): None ********** Market Commentary The number of reasons to be bearish continues to grow. The NASDAQ Composite closed at 645.87, below important support at 650 established earlier this year. This establishes a sequence of lower troughs, confirming the bearish sequence of lower peaks this index has traced since early February. Gold and gold stocks, which usually move counter to stocks, are rallying strongly. Former market leaders are selling off sharply (Intel is but the latest example). I am changing my market stance from "cautiously bullish" to "neutral". I still expect to turn bullish within the next few months. At the moment, however, caution is the watchword. ********** Callaway Golf I am selling this stock prematurely, having held it less than three months. My sell discipline allows for selling early if my market stance becomes more bearish, as it has today. I chose Callaway Golf because I have a very nice gain (+29%), and because the "Leisure & Recreation Products" group has been falling off recently. It is #77 out of 199 this week; that's down from rankings in the low 60's over the previous four weeks. ********** Previous Alert: Vol.2 #71 (April 26, 1993) ********** The Aggressive Trader is edited and published at irregular intervals, but at least monthly, by Deen Capital Management, Inc., P.O.
