REASONS
BEHIND THE PICKS
- The
debut of (UPS) United Parcel Service's IPO will
likely rally delivery stocks.
- The
Producer Price data to be released will determine
the tempo of the market. We feel the data will show
a non-inflationary economy. Worst case scenario,
benign economic data.
- Technology,
Telecommunications, and Internets are a bargain.
- Commercial,
Investment Banks, and Insurance companies will gain
due to the banking reform bill.
