Notable New Highs — November 29, 2006

Buying in the morning, a bout of selling in the early afternoon, but late afternoon buyers took it up into the close.

On the way home from a dinner last night at 9 PM, I got trapped in traffic once again at Guomao Qiao (World Trade Center Bridge). I don’t get annoyed when this happens. Instead I think of portfolio holdings XOM (ExxonMobil) and PTR (PetroChina) — both trading at all-time highs.

    XOM typically splits around this price. I wonder if it will this time.

    Can you please post an explanation of your Notable New High list, what the captions mean and how you use the list.

    thanks

    Ted: Sure, NSO% means Percent Net Change Since Open, UV means Unusual Volume (X times the 65-day moving average of volume), and %YR means Percent in Yearly Range (new highs will show 100%+ of course).

    I like to keep a rolling list of “notable” new highs to judge the tone of the market and be aware of what stocks and sectors are strong. Hope that helps.

    Hi Chairman,

    Could you please clarify how %YR is calculated? I tried using 100*(today’s high - yesterdays’s 52-week high)/yesterdays’s 52-week high but couldn’t get the same values noted on the table.

    Thanks, Manny

    manny: Qcharts help is such a mess now that I had to refer to the erlanger2000 site for this explanation:

    % in yearly range

    \”percent in yearly range\” - This snapshot field displays where the last price is relative to the high and low over the last calendar year. If the stock makes a new yearly high, this statistic will be 100 percent. If it is at the yearly low, it will be at zero percent.
