There's so little "meat" in this report that I don't know whether it means anything.

It is interesting to see that the ¨Babies with Bathwater¨ list is down so much, while the ¨Dog with Fleas¨ list have risen so much, in the same week. What does this mean, if anything? Please include a little more analysis, Mr. Hill.

Note: It appears that the beginning preface of this report is missing and hopefully this makes the purpose of the report more relevant and understandable. it should read as follows:

At the end of each trading week, Hillbent scans for the equity market for potential anomalies which exhibit extremely oversold and overbought conditions. Past observations have revealed that such candidates may experience reversal corrections to the upside or downside once the market reconfirms that their fundamentals remain solidly intact or relatively poor. From a contrarian perspective, these lists may also serve as a precursor to changes in institutional sentiment and underlying fundamentals.



(The purpose of this report is not to provide specific recommendations, but instead serve as a time-saving reference tool and starting point for investment ideas as the upcoming trading week unfolds. Of course, the results generated are not always perfect and users are strongly encouraged to perform their own due diligence on these names. Note that overbought and oversold conditions are based upon proprietary algorithms and quantitative models instead of conventional technical analysis indicators. As a supplement to this report, please refer to our ETF Trends Report to determine if market direction trends support a bullish or bearish investment bias over short-term, intermediate, and long-term timeframes.)
