Bill Gunderson s Weekly Best Stocks Now Newsletter Straightforward, honest research for successful people http://pwstreet.com @BillGunderson on Twitter Bill@pwstreet.com March 2, 2012 Bill Gunderson, President and Founder of Gunderson Capital Mgt. Inc. discussing the Solyndra scandal with Megyn Kelley of the Fox News Channel. SPECIAL NOTE: AM1000 KCEO HAS BEEN SOLD. WE WILL BE MOVING TO AM1450 AND AM1510 NEXT WEEK-I HOPE YOU JOIN US! The Dow continues to struggle with the 13,000 level, but it looks like it will bust through that barrier soon enough. Actually, this is how I started last week s newsletter. This statement is still true, however. The Dow continues to struggle with 13,000, closing just shy of that psychological barrier once again this week. 1

I want you to notice however, that even though the Dow is struggling with 13,000, it has already broken through its resistance level. The Dow remains in a bullish trend for now. That trend has been in place since last October. The tech-heavy Nasdaq, along with the small-cap S & P 600 continue to lead the way in 2012. The chart of the Nasdaq looks almost the same as the Dow, just a bit more extended. The Nasdaq also remains in a bullish trend that began in October of last year. Lastly, here is a chart of the S & P 500: 2

The S & P also remains in a bullish uptrend for now. Economic reports were just decent this past week. The real big downside surprise for me was the durable goods orders which were very, very weak. Hopefully, this is just an anomaly and it will rebound next month. Here is how we fared in the markets this past week: Fri. 2/24/12 Fri. 3/2/12 Week Week Pct. Close Close Change Change S&P500 1365.54 1369.63 4.09 0.30% DJIA 12,982.00 12,977.57-4.43-0.03% NASD 2963.75 2976.19 12.44 0.42% S&P600 (Small) 459.76 446.23-13.53-2.94% Emg. Mkts (ADRE) 43.80 44.16 0.36 0.82% 10yr Bd. 2.02% 1.99% -0.03% -1.49% Oil 103.36 106.64 3.28 3.17% Gold 1725.60 1713.10-12.50-0.72% One disturbing trend that jumps out at me from the above graph is the sell-off in the small-cap index this past week. This is something that needs to be watched closely as it could be the pre-cursor to a correction in the market. 3

Just for fun, let s look at a chart of an inverse small-cap fund: As you can see, the small-caps have been a good place to be since October. Being in an inverse fund has not been the place to be. You can see just a little uptrend maybe brewing in this inverse small-cap fund. Once again, this is worth keeping an eye on. It is comforting to see SBB ranked number 2,278 right now. While we are at it, let s just take a peek a double-short inverse small cap ETF: 4

Once again, it may be the small-caps are due for a breather. If the small-caps start to correct, it is only a matter of time before the Dow and the S & P 500 follow along. Stay tuned. SDD is ranked number 2739 out of 2762, however. Let s next take a peek at the current elephant in the room-light, sweet crude: Oil and gas prices continue to move higher, this is not a good scenario for a sustainable recovery in our economy. The biggest wild card that the market has to be concerned about right now is Iran. It almost seems like a sure thing, that this issue is not going to be solved peaceably. An attack on Iran would not sit well with friends of Iran like Russia, China, North Korea, Pakistan, etc. etc. These are definitely interesting times that we live in. In the meantime we can only take the market one day, one week, and one month at a time. There is always something hanging over the head of the market. Lastly, let s take a look at a current chart of Gold: 5

Gold remains in a very choppy, sideways trend just as I predicted it would after it broke its ten year uptrend line back in September. Gold and silver are currently ranked at number 645 out of 2,762 stocks. I currently have no positions in either. Silver Wheaton has moved back up into a rank of 367 and bears watching going forward. I usually like to buy things that are ranked number 150 or better. Here is where the markets stand year-to-date: 12/31/11 Fri. 3/2/12 2012 YTD Pct. Value Close YTD Change S&P500 1260.37 1369.63 109.26 8.67% DJIA 12,239.74 12,977.57 737.83 6.03% NASD 2610.68 2976.19 365.51 14.00% S&P600 (Small) 415.07 446.23 31.16 7.51% Emg. Mkts (ADRE) 39.89 44.16 4.27 10.70% 10yr Bd. 1.87% 1.99% 0.12% 6.42% Oil 98.87 106.64 7.77 7.86% Gold 1565.90 1713.10 147.20 9.40% The Nasdaq (thanks Apple!) continues to lead the way, while all of sudden the small-caps had a very bad week. This may portend a sea-change ahead, but those inverse funds would have to move up significantly in rank first. The emerging markets also continue to do well. 6

One more key chart to look at is the Euro (FXE): Our markets and commodities want a strong euro and a weak dollar. As you can see the Euro pulled back over the last three days as Spain is not meeting its debt targets. A breakdown of the Euro would also lead to a sell-off in the markets. Stay tuned. Follow me on twitter @billgunderson. I remain bullish for now, but my vigilance antenna is going up! 7

Bill Gunderson s Model Portfolio for Conservative Growth Investors: This model is made up of the mostly mid-cap and large cap companies that I consider to be suitable for investors who have a conservative risk profile, but still want growth. This portfolio is up 11.0% year-to-date, while the S & P 500 is up 8.9%. The portfolio currently has a 1.1% cash position and no hedges. The portfolio is currently heavily weighted in the consumer sector. I am replacing ARLP with Cummins Engine (CMI) this week: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 Conservative Growth Model as of 3/2/2012 11.00% 9:00AM Add Date Symbol Name Sector 22-Oct -10 AZO Aut ozone Consumer 6-Jan-12 AAPL Apple Comput er Technology 22-Apr-11 ABV Comp de Bebida Consumer 13-Jan-12 CELG Celgene Medical 4-Feb-12 CAT Cat erpillar Indust rial 2-Mar-12 CMI Cummins Engine Industrial 30-Sep-11 DG Dollar General Consumer 26-Aug-11 DLTR Dollar Tree Consumer 13-Jan-12 EOG E O G Resources Energy 22-Apr-11 FMX Foment o Econ Mex Consumer 21-Oct -11 GWW Grainger Indust rial 6-Nov-08 KMP Kinder Morgan Energy 10-Jun-11 KOF Coca Cola Femsa Consumer 26-Aug-11 MA Mastercard Consumer 21-Oct -11 MCD McDonalds Consumer 6-Nov-08 O Realt y Income REIT 21-May-10 ROST Ross St ores Consumer 7-Jan-11 PCLN Priceline.com Consumer 21-Oct -11 SBUX St arbucks Consumer 7-Oct -11 TJX T J Maxx Consumer 12-Aug-11 TNH Terra Nit rogen Commodities 29-Jul-11 UGP Ultrapar Part icipaco Utilit y 1-Jan-11 CASH Money Market Cash S&P 500 8.87% Ahead by 2.13% Add Price $234.72 $422.40 $31.07 $72.63 $113.94 $120.38 $37.76 $70.46 $103.04 $62.48 $167.03 $43.10 $88.13 $325.17 $91.63 $16.68 $25.76 $440.59 $41.93 $27.77 $165.98 $17.83 $1.00 Shares 14 11 144 64 41 35 121 65 46 72 27 55 52 14 49 130 68 13 108 164 27 252 2,856 Beginning Value $3,286 $4,646 $4,474 $4,648 $4,672 $4,213 $4,569 $4,580 $4,740 $4,499 $4,510 $2,371 $4,583 $4,552 $4,490 $2,168 $1,751 $5,728 $4,528 $4,553 $4,481 $4,493 na Current Price $378.63 $546.07 $39.77 $73.78 $113.01 $120.38 $43.04 $90.48 $114.17 $75.76 $208.02 $89.64 $100.17 $416.30 $99.19 $36.82 $53.80 $640.77 $48.77 $36.96 $230.52 $23.28 $1.00 Current Value $5,301 $6,007 $5,727 $4,722 $4,633 $4,213 $5,208 $5,881 $5,252 $5,455 $5,617 $4,930 $5,209 $5,828 $4,860 $4,787 $3,658 $8,330 $5,267 $6,061 $6,224 $5,867 $2,910 G/L 61.3% 29.3% 28.0% 1.6% -0.8% 0.0% 14.0% 28.4% 10.8% 21.3% 24.5% 108.0% 13.7% 28.0% 8.3% 120.7% 108.9% 45.4% 16.3% 33.1% 38.9% 30.6% na Alloc. 4.5% 5.0% 4.8% 4.0% 3.9% 3.5% 4.4% 4.9% 4.4% 4.6% 4.7% 4.1% 4.4% 4.9% 4.1% 4.0% 3.1% 7.0% 4.4% 5.1% 5.2% 4.9% 0.0% 100.0% 8

Apple continues to hit new highs, but it sure looks tired: This is a great chart to own, not to buy! AutoZone is almost as impressive: I would be a little reluctant to buy it here, though. 9

I like the way that Cummins Engine has been moving up in rank and I like the recent break through resistance: I could not be happier with Dollar Tree: 10

Fomento (FMX) also had a nice breakout this past week: One of my favorite stocks (and largest holdings) Priceline.com blasted off this past week. It also moved up to number 12 in overall rank: Boy, a move like this brings a smile to my face! 11

Bill Gunderson s Model Portfolio for investors seeking Income along with the possibility of Growth. This model is my most conservative model. It is designed for risk-adverse investors that want income first and growth second. Income producing investments have proven themselves over time to be much less volatile than pure growth investments. If you look back at the year 2008, when the overall market was down 38.5%, income producers held up much better. I do like some growth with my income, however. I have written several articles on this subject recently. Here is an article that I wrote for Seeking Alpha on this very subject. Check out how the stocks I mentioned have performed since I wrote the article! The list below contains the best examples of such stocks that I can find in the market right now. No changes this week.

This compares with a ten year U.S. treasury at a current rate of 1.8%, CD s offering next to nothing, and corporate bonds offering about 5.0% with very little chance of growth. There is obviously more risk in investing in a portfolio like this, but the reward potential is also much greater. Dividend stocks continue to underperform the market so far in 2012. 12

Bill Gunderson s Model Portfolio for Investors seeking AGGRESSIVE Growth This is my most aggressive portfolio. It is designed for investors with long-term time horizons seeking maximum growth. This portfolio is mainly made up of small and mid-cap stocks with superior growth potential. This portfolio is much more volatile than the Conservative Portfolio and the Income Portfolio. This portfolio also carries more risk than the aforementioned ones. I still feel like aggressive growth will be the best place to be this year as it had a lousy year in 2011. This portfolio is up 11.6% YTD, while the S & P 500 is up 8.9%. I am replacing Heckman (HEK) with Buffalo Wild Wings (BWLD) this week.

Bill Gunderson s Featured Stock of the Week 3/2/2012 I currently have 2,762 stocks in my database. Every day when I am done doing my radio show, I spend several hours looking at them. I especially focus in on the ones I own and the A rated stocks. My proprietary grading system consists of Value, Performance, and Safety. I like stocks that have performed much better than the rest and still offer good value. I spent years developing this grading system and I am thrilled with the results! This week s pick: 1. Description 2. Valuation 14

3. Performance 4. Overall Grade Data from Bill Gunderson s Best Stocks Now App Buffalo Wild Wings operates and franchises 732 quick casual restaurants in 44 states with plans to open 95 more in 2012. From time to time restaurant chains come along that sweep America. We saw this with Chipotle. This looks like a good growth story for now. Let s see where it takes us. 15
