MARKET OVERVIEW
Overseas markets are much improved over this same period compared to yesterday.
Currently 14 of the 15 markets that we track are positive with a cumulative
average return on the collective standing a plus 0.723 percent. Closing at its
highs for the week, the Nikkei added 2.5 percent on the week to accomplish a
second weekly close above the 12,000 level over the past three weeks. Growth
in the United Kingdom appears to have slowed a bit in the first quarter. The
preliminary Gross Domestic Product came in at plus 0.6 percent over the fourth
quarter and plus 3.0 percent over the first quarter of 2003. Analysts were
looking for plus 0.7 percent and plus 3.1 percent respectively. The fourth
quarter finalized figures showed a 0.9 percent rise over the prior quarter and
a 2.7 percent year-over-year rate of growth. Despite the Q1 apparent
shortfall, it was the best year-over-year performance since the third quarter
of 2000 and above the 2.5 percent trend of growth.
The week should end on a calm note as the earnings calendar dwindles to a
manageable handful and the 8:30 a.m. release of March Durable Goods Orders
represents the sum of today's economic data. The Durable goods figure is
expected to have slowed a bit to a plus 0.7 percent from February's heated 2.5
percent rise.

DYNAMIC MARKET OPPORTUNITIES
"The latest unemployment claims number isn't terrible. But it suggests the job
market is still weak, which means an interest rate hike isn't imminent. Over
the last month, the 10-year bond yield has gone from 3.7% to over 4.4%,
effectively pricing in a 0.5% hike. It looks like it's time to give some of
that back." That's according to Brit Ryle at the Taipan Group's Money-Flow
Matrix Trader service. Elsewhere, Xybernaut enjoyed a healthy bounce to $1.49
on a $350,000 new order from Europe for its wearable computer technology.
Specifically, the order concerned Xybernaut's Mobile Assistants, which will be
used for airport security and management. Since advising investors to buy
Xybernaut, William Colburn, chief trader at Value Edge, is up 51% on the
position. And amid talk that Sony, Texas Pacific Group and Provident Equity
Partners are set to bid $5 billion for MGM, directors at the film/television
company could vote as early as next week on a special $8 dividend. That would
be great news for Ian Cooper's traders at the Extreme Volatility Speculator,
who can hope to add to their 10.3% gains over the last two weeks.
