At the end of each trading week, Hillbent scans 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 Market Trends Report to determine if market direction trends support a bullish or bearish investment bias over short-term, intermediate, and long-term timeframes.)

    Well-
    If those are "dogs with fleas", CHNG is an Elephant with Fleas--lost more than AIG did in one day. This sucker Hillbent must be very well respected for his opinion.

    Anybody know what heppened with CHNG--must have been one heck of an earnings report.
    Motley Fool is for fools--has been pumping this all year and recently turned up the volume. I've seen their calls and Cramer's immediately crash before...hmmmm
