CFD

LONG/SHORT

Reason

No. 1

Fletcher Building Limited (FBU)

Long

The hunter becomes the hunted.� Rumor of Aus� largest building & construction materials supplier Boral circling. Current trading at $6.45 from high of $13.45 just over a year ago.� Would think Boral will have to pay double-digits if they�re serious on taking them out.

No. 2

Westpac Banking Corporation (WBC)

Long

Aus� First Bank trades back above $20. New reporting lines implemented this week by Gail Kelly as she dictates her management style.� Looking for a break above $23.00 toward $25.00/20

No. 3

US Crude Oil Aug 08

Long

Whip-saw movements saw longs able to take some profits. $147.29 was traded.� Bottom-picking can be expensive but bids at $128.50-$129.00 might be where the next $10 of value is.� Sep 08 contract trades at a 0.80 premium to the Aug 08!

No. 4

BHP Billiton Limited (BHP)

Long

Short was the way & achieved the $37.00 objective trading today down to $36.69.� Traders think its time to turn & go long for a look back at $40.80-$41.00

No. 5

JB Hi-Fi Group Pty Ltd (JBH)

Long

Fierce competition is sensitive in NZ, where it appears Real Groovy Records has been bought to their knees.� Buyers all week from the $10.70 area, today at $12.00 as traders look for a test of $13.30-50
