Back on November 28, 2012 we reduced 50% of our exposure as it received an Approaching Overbought level.  Today we got an Overbought level, which means we will reduce 100%.

This was the first Oversold reading since the 30% slide in the stock. The stock is still technically very weak and rated a Strong Sell. If traders got long on this countertrend trade, we would suggest considering a mean reversion trade approach as long as the name remains a Strong Sell.

<![CDATA[MINYANVILLE ORIGINAL Back on December 3, we alerted readers that Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) moved to a Buy from Hold. The stock is up about 4.5% since moving to a Buy. Our firm&#39;s proprietary algorithm does not look at volume, moving averages, and the many other typical technical analysis indicators. Instead, it is based on statistical price series and is purely quantitative. Historically, the algorithm has worked well with Google as you can see from the chart below, both with the Buy/Sell rating and counter trend. At this juncture, Google may seem like a good opportunity with any market pullback.

<![CDATA[MINYANVILLE ORIGINAL This morning my firm wanted to highlight three energy names that moved onto our list of the 20 strongest S&P 500 (INDEXSP:.INX) stocks. These stocks are Valero Energy (NYSE:VLO), EOG Resources (NYSE:EOG), and Tesoro (NYSE:TSO).

Additionally, we wanted to give an update on Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) to readers who got long our BAC call back in August. The stock has had an incredible run and is up almost 30%. After this big move, we are still staying long this name until we get an oversold level.

It was a busy weekend for Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), which saw three catalysts.

The third largest bank took down its numbers on Apple. Citigroup&#39;s trio of Apple analysts, Glen Yeung, Walter Pritchard, and Jim Suva, cut Apple&#39;s price target to $575, and rated it Neutral, down from Buy.  The irony is that Citi downgraded the name on weaker demand as the company reported stronger-than-expected iPhone sales out of China, topping 2 million units.

On Friday, December 14 -- which seems like an eternity ago now -- Apple was cut by both UBS and Macquarie.  Daniel Chang of Macquarie lowered ]]>

<![CDATA[MINYANVILLE ORIGINAL We wanted to provide Minyanville readers with an update on the large-cap banks. We started to get bullish in this group back in August as Bank of America (BAC) moved to a Strong Buy.  We have mentioned this name before, specifically as the best way within the group to leverage a housing recover. Now we have another catalyst that will help push these names higher -- the potential for higher rates.

<![CDATA[MINYANVILLE ORIGINAL 

We wanted to give Minyanville readers an update on four tech names that we have opined on recently. 

The first name is, of course, Apple (NASDAQ:APPL).

Why do most retail investors lose money investing in the market?  Emotion has a lot to do with it. Buying purely to buy without a real catalyst is a failure in strategy, or a lack thereof. Buying Apple on fundamentals clearly did not work as the stock retraced from $700 to $550.  It was a pure guess to determine the fundamental valuation. Remember -- price leads fundamentals.
