CANDLESTICK CHARTING
Krispy Kreme Marches Up

With the formation of the candlestick charting pattern "three white soldiers" Krispy Kreme looks like it's headed back up.
Position: Buy
| Another temporary casualty of the Enron scandal, Krispy Kreme (KKD) stock took a sudden downturn on February 5, when the technicalties of their new leasing agreement were pronounced questionable by Forbes magazine. But in the following days, the stock has rebounded, and formed a candlestick pattern known as "three white soldiers." This is classed as a significant and positive indicator of a trend reversal, and Krispy Kreme seems destined to continue upward, perhaps topping out at 40. |
| The three white soldiers pattern has the following characteristics: 1. Three consecutive long, white bodies, each with a higher close. 2. Each successive candlestick should open within, and preferably above, the halfway mark of the previous day's body. |
|
| KKD produced the third candlestick of the three white soldier formation on February 7, 2002, albiet with a long tail on the first soldier. |

| But how important is an indicator that tells you your stock is going up when. . . well, your stock is going up? This particular pattern tends to occur during a strong, steady upward movement, as shown by the length and overlap of the candlesticks's bodies. In Greg Morris's "CandlePower," he rated the effectiveness of candlestick formations for three-, five-, and seven-day intervals. He found a whopping 75% average effectiveness rate on the classic three white soldiers formation. This is an amazing,if hard to believe, statistic in an arena where any indicator above 50% accuracy is considered tradable, thus placing this formation in the high end of reliability. |
| Krispy Kreme's stock follows a somewhat predictable pattern. It has been shooting upward following Quartery Earnings reports. These reports have been consistently exceeding analysts' predictions, and the stock has responded by going upward for $5-10 with the P/E ratio exceeding 100. At that point, a selloff occurs and the stock's price drops, losing maybe half of its recent gains, only to start back upward again--a classic upward trending stock. Krispy Kreme's next Quarterly Earnings report is due out on March 8--Look for KKD to have an immediate and explosive reaction to the numbers. |
