NASDAQ TOPPERS

Week of June 4, 2007

Below you will find charts on the "Best of the Best" set-ups. These are stocks that have broken out of stage I bases and have entered into stage II advances. Providing the current general market conditions continue, these stocks should advance in their current direction. If you do not understand the four stages of stock movement, then I strongly suggest you go here and buy Stan Weinsteins Book.



ADTRAN Inc. (ADTN)


This company engages in design, development, manufacture, marketing and servicing of network access solutions. (info provided by Yahoo) Basically internet communication. They are in the Tech sector and their industry is Communication Equiptment. The company employs 1601 full time employees and has a 1.86B Market Cap. Operating margin is 16.66% with Return on Assets 11.73% Qtr Rev Growth is forcast to be 1.50% (this is not a William O'neil Stock) and the Qtrly. Earnings Growth is 4.10%. They pay a Dividend of 1.4% per year with a payout ratio of 33%.

Even after downgrades this stock is still performing well. Pull a two year weekly chart on this company and you will see that in Dec of 05' this stock went from a stage III top pattern into a stage IV decline(confirmed in Jan 06 when the 30 week MA was broken.) It sank from 33 to 20 in the course of seven months then moved into a stage I consolidation pattern (sideways movement with a "Double Bottom")July low of 19.96 and trading range high of a little more then 25.00. The stock moved into a stage II advance on higher then normal volume on 03/12/07. Currently the stock is handling well and is confirming the stage II advance with a bounce off the 10 week MA. As seen in the 6 month weekly chart provided.



ALTHEROS COMMUNICATIONS (ATHR)

Altheros Comm. develops semiconductor system solutions for communications products.(info provided by Yahoo) This company is in the Technology Sector of course and is in the Industry of Semi-Conductor/Intergrated Circuits. The company employs 660 FTE's. Market Cap is 1.66B with a profit margin of 5.79% Qtrly Rev. Growth is 56.40% and Qtrly Earnings are at 11.50% (Not a William O'niel stock). This stock does not pay a dividend.

On a Two year weekly chart with 10 and 30 week MA applied you will see that the stock put in a high (28.80) around April 2006. After that high the stock moved into a Stage IV decline from about May to about August. The stock went into a confirmed stage I consolidation period and put in a double bottom at the same time. The original buy point would have been breaking the 30 Week moving average on 10/09/06 to the upside on an increase in volume. The stock has moved very nicely following up the 50 day moving average. Normally I would not suggest a stock this far away from the breakout price point, but the new high put in says something and is worthy of this page. I looked back 10 years and this is the highest this stock has ever been. Psychologically, this stock does not have any more upside resistence and if the markets general direction is up then this stock should move higher from here.



BE AEROSPACE Inc. (BEAV)

BE Aerospace, Inc. manufactures and markets cabin interior products for commercial aircraft and business jets.(per Yahoo) BEAV is in the Industrial Goods Sector and Industry is Aerospace/Defense Products. BE Aerospace employs 5058 FTE's and its Market Cap of 3.58B. Return on Equity is 7.01% QTR Rev. Growth is at 56.90% and its QTR Earinings Growth is at 132.6%(This is a William O'neil Stock) This stock does not pay a dividend.

When you look at the 10 yr chart on this stock you see a huge Cup with Handle that has formed. Not sure if 10yrs is valid on that chart pattern, but why would it not be. BEAV broke out of the handle at the 30 dollar level and is performing very well.

If you apply the SW (Stan Weinstein Methodology), you would have picked this stock up breaking out of the 3.00 level on June 03' when the stock busted above the declining 30 week moving average. The confirmation was a retest of the 30 week MA at the 6.00 level in May through June of 04'. Currently the stock is making new highs and has broken out of a handle when it traded above the 30 dollar level in March. It is reacting very nicely to its retest of the 10 week moving average.



CASEY'S GEN. STORES Inc. (CASY)

Casey's General Stores and its subsidiaries operate convenientce stores primarily in Iowa, Missouri, and Illinois. (per Yahoo) This company is in the Services sector and is part of the Grocery Stores industry. They employ 6024 FTE's and have a Market Cap of 1.43B. Their Profit Margin is 1.57% with QTR Rev Growth at 15.60%, QTR Earnings Growth is at 61.70. This stock pays a 0.80% Dividend.

When looking at the Three year weekly chart we see that in the week of May 9th 2005 CASY broke out of a stage I consolidation at 16.84 when the move above the 30 week Moving average was made. The confirmation took place when the stock advanced on very high volume three weeks later when the 10 week MA crossed the 30 week moving average to the upside. After the stock moved up to the 27.00(02/27/06) area it retreated and moved into a stage III/IV decline back to 21.00(04/24/06)

From 04/24/06 to 05/07/07 the stock consolidated in a nice trading range of 22.00-26.00 level. On 05/28/07 CASY broke out of the trading range to new ground at 28.27. This is a very exciting move and we need to keep an eye on the stock. It may retest the 27.00 level, but not too sure. Stock is in an unconfirmed stage two. This is a stock you will want to hold and add to as if goes up and pulls back healthy.
