July 29, 2017STANDARD NEWSLETTERWHAT HAPPENED TO AMAZON?As a professional money manager, one of the biggest questions for me from this last week oftrading is should I keep my Amazon stock or not?In the meantime, it was an extremely busy week in the market. Dow stocks like Caterpillar(CAT), McDonald’s (MCD), and Boeing (BA) helped propel the Dow Jones IndustrialAverage to new all-time highs!In fact, I would call Boeing the stock of the week. I continue to own it in my Income &Growth Portfolio.Facebook posted very impressive earnings earlier in the week. The stock continues to hit newall-time highs and I continue to own it in my Premier Growth Portfolio. The NASDAQ washitting new all-time highs on Thursday before a very dramatic intra-day turnaround to thedownside. It seemed to center around Amazon. Just exactly what took place?The Minnesota Workshop scheduled for Sept. 13 is coming together. It will be in theBloomington area, and we will be inviting several of our best friend in Minnesota to theTwins vs, Padre game the night before. Stay tuned 1

With 57% of the companies in the S&P 500 having now reported earnings, 73% of them havebeat their expectations, while 73% have also beat their revenue expectations. The latternumber is extremely good!You will see later in the newsletter where my current EPS estimates and target prices for theS&P 500 are currently at. It has been earnings that have driven this market higher for overeight years. It will be the direction of future earnings forecasts that will either drive this markethigher or set off the next bear market.That is why I update the overall earnings picture each and every week in my newsletter. Thiswas one of the most important factors that led me to make my Bull call back on March 27th,2009. The market has more than tripled since then. This all-important weekly market call isavailable to my clients, live-trading, and premium subscribers only.As usual, there were some good, some bad, and some ugly earnings reports this past week.Facebook (FB), Caterpillar (CAT), and Boeing (BA) all knocked the cover off of the ball. Iupdate my current status and target prices on these stocks when I get to the individualportfolios.These five model portfolios are available to my client and “live-trading” subscribers only.Over 130 S&P 500 stocks will report earnings this coming week. I will be on top of it each dayon my Gunderson Best Stocks Now Radio Show.Vertex Pharmaceutical, Google, Lam Research, Starbucks, and STM electronics alsoreported earnings this past week. I kept four of them and dumped one. I am now up over100% on my STM position. It is one of the 30 stocks that I currently own in my Ultra GrowthPortfolio. This portfolio is having an extremely good year.John McCain single handedly shot down even a skinny repeal of Obamacare. Did McCainvote no to get even with Trump, or did he vote no in the best interest of the country? Itmakes one wonder if the Republicans can get anything done, especially badly needed taxreform.An analyst at Stifel admits that he made a big mistake in putting a BUY recommendation onGE several months ago, but he continues to maintain that same BUY recommendation. Saywhat?Another one of my holdings in the Ultra Growth Portfolio blasted off to new highs after astunning earnings report. More on that in the portfolio section of the newsletter. But, the storyof the week was Amazon (AMZN). What exactly happened on Thursday and Friday?I am working on a special report that will detail the issue at Amazon in their latest earningsreport. This will go out to clients and all newsletter subscribers when I finish it tomorrow orMonday. I am taking a deep dive into the numbers.2

Don’t look now, but the Dow, led by Boeing (BA) is closingin on 22,000, while the S&P 500 is closing in on 2,500.Emerging Markets led by India also had a good week. Meanwhile the bond market driftedlower as interest rates drifted higher and oil had one of its best week in a long, long time. It isvery difficult to predict the direction of commodity prices, especially when the suppliers areallowed to tighten or loosen the spigot to manipulate prices.3
