Ken Deen's THE AGGRESSIVE TRADER(tm) "Seeking double-digit profits in one to four months" SELL ALERT P.O. Box 4791 Vol. 1, No. 100 Santa Barbara, CA 93140 November 3, 1992 (805) 565-2039 10:00am New York time CompuServe: 72020,2050 Stock+Options Account (editor's personal account): * Today I sold 200 Prima Energy Corp. (PENG) at 20 1/4. I bought these shares on Sept. 25 at 16 1/2 (see Vol.1 #89). * Today I sold 300 Arrow Electronics (ARW) at 27 7/8. I bought these shares on July 17 at 21 1/2 (see Vol.1 #68). * Today I sold 200 Chrysler Corp. (C) at 27 1/2. I bought these shares on July 29 at 22 (see Vol.1 #71). Stock-Only Account (editor's personal account): * Today I sold 140 PacifiCare Health Systems (PHSYA) at 42. I bought these shares on July 31 at 35 (see Vol.1 #73). DESI(tm) Account (a computer-simulated hypothetical account): No trades DESI(tm) Buy/Sell Signals (computer-generated): None Market Commentary I am doing a lot of selling today; this does not mean I have turned bearish on the market. No, I am still bullish. In all but one instance, these are stocks I have held for more than three months, and thus are ripe for selling in my short-term scheme of things. In every case, I have a profit of 20% or better. I expect to put this cash back to work over the next few weeks. Prima Energy Corp. I am selling Prima because the stock is near its old all-time high set in late September (shortly after I bought). This previous high (20 3/4) is a possible resistance level. Arrow Electronics and Chrysler Corp. Both of these stocks still look very strong on a long-term basis, but each is ripe for a modest correction in the short-term. I am cashing in only because I like to sell on a short-term peak on stocks I've held longer than three months. We may possibly be near such a peak in each of these stocks. PacifiCare Health Systems This is a DESI(tm) stock; when the DESI(tm) sell signal comes out of my computer, I will issue a second sell alert. That should be very soon. I am selling now in my personal account because the HMO group has been weak in recent weeks. The group had a great run the last few months, but now the group appears to be topping out, at least on a short-term basis. PacifiCare is still an excellent long-term hold. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- *** To all who download this newsletter *** I invite you to send me your CompuServe ID to receive these alerts by e-mail.
