A river of no returns

Taipan Group's Dynamic Market Alert

----------------------------

100% correct for 60 years, the Dow Theory now screams buy! Dow 16,000!
On October 18, 2006, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) hit 12,108 -- marking an all-time high!  On May10, 2006, just a few months ago, the Dow Jones Transport Average (DJTA) hit 5,038 -- an all-time high! This confirmation signal means that, according to Dow

Theory, we are in the first stage of the next great bull run!
I just can ’t tell you how excited I am about this. You should be as well.  The last significant Dow signal occurred in 1997 right before the Dow Jones Industrial went from 6,448 to 11,780 -- and the Nasdaq went from 1,211 to 5,200 -- it was the greatest bull market in history!

Here ’s how to profit!

A river of no returns

by J. Christoph Amberger

Amazon.com, Inc. used to be the poster boy of the Internet bubble. Permabears who predicted that the “Internet thing ” was a passing fad as far back as 1995 used to call it the “river of no returns. ”

By now, even the grouchiest bears have to admit that the Internet did do wonders for disseminating the dyspeptic message to a large, unsuspecting and global public. I ’ve heard it through the grapevine that in the big picture of book publishing, Amazon and its sales rankings have become important for publishers to artificially manufacture bestseller status for a book that would have normally found just a few hundred readers.

But AMZN is generating returns all by itself now. Despite a drop in operating cash flow, net sales increased 24% to $2.31 billion in the third quarter, compared with $1.86 billion in third quarter 2005. Excluding year-over-year changes in foreign exchange rates, net sales were up 23% compared with third quarter 2005.

Net income was $19 million for Q3, or 5 cents per diluted share, compared with net income of $30 million, or 7 cents per diluted share in third quarter 2005.

Amazon is expecting a whopper of a Christmas season.

-- Housing continues to decline. The pace of existing home sales fell for the sixth straight month in September. Compared to last year, average U.S. home prices are down 2.2% to $220,000.

Still, there are positive signs. A 2.2% drop in average sales prices is only bad news if you happened to buy a new home in the last 12 months. If you ’ve been holding your property for at least 18 months, you ’re still up double-digit percentages.

And inventories are moving down, 2.4% to be specific, to a 7.3-month supply.

In fact, at our Taipan Group editorial roundtable today, WaveStrength oracle Adam Lass announced that he is bargain hunting for real estate-related companies.
