someone asked me today what chart shows the most strength of trend....I extrapolate for my own view to 1 to 3 year trend persistency, ignoring the most recent price action for simplicity...so here are some candidates, excluding energy and metals and precious metals stocks for now... because the list would be too long ....and SU, BTU, UPL, CCJ, UEX.TO, SLB, HAL would most certainly be on it...consider what SU did today while other energy stocks moved down (see you all after Easter, and have a great week!):

have been posting about this one before the move back above $6.00....this chart pattern is a good example of what can follow a "washout" when the fundamentals and sentiment improve:


looking at the chart back to 1977, it appears that two major ascent patterns have completed, and this may be the beginning of the third and final long-term ascent pattern, which is a little steep relative to what many stocks do but it seems to be in keeping with the accustomed chart performance of this stock

the only metals company on this list...in order to shorten the list here

http://stockcharts.com/gallery/?lii


lun.to and lfc were first posted here several months ago in 2005....and details may be found by using the search function at this site hopefully...LUN is a base metals company, with some of the largest deposits of zinc, etc....LFC is a life insurance products company selling in Asia...Doug suggested some upside price targets a few months ago which have been surpassed.


the list above does not include the many chart patterns in the broker/dealer or financial sectors with rising trend channels such as TD, GS, BSC, MER....TD has been one of my favorite holdings since the internet bubble days.

article link too long for this site, so here it is from MarketWatch about some investment banks:





Goldman Sachs top earner in Asia Pacific, excluding Japan

HONG KONG (MarketWatch) -- Wall Street firm Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) was the top-earning investment bank for the Asia Pacific region excluding Japan for the first quarter of 2006, with revenue topping US$95 million, according to capital markets data provider Dealogic PLC (DL.LN).

Goldman's top spot extends beyond the region, after netting US$344 million in fees on global equity and equity-related deals worth US$21.3 billion so far this year, according to capital markets data provider Thomson Financial.

UBS AG (UBS) trails in second place across Asia Pacific ex-Japan, with US$90 million in revenue, followed by Citigroup Inc. ©, with US$59 million.

UBS was the top earning investment bank in Asia Pacific ex Japan in 2005, with revenue of US$368 million.

In Asia, investment banks made the most money in India and South Korea during the first quarter of the year.

Equities, debt and M&A fees in India totaled US$137 million, and in South Korea they came to US$130 million.

Citigroup was the top earner in India, with US$16 million in revenue. Goldman Sachs netted an estimated US$34 million in South Korea.

Goldman Sachs and Japan's Nomura acted as joint bookrunner for Korean retailer Lotte Shopping Co.'s (023560.SE) US$3.7 billion initial public offering, the biggest IPO globally so far this year. That produced an estimated US$28.8 million in fees, said Dealogic.

Credit Suisse Group (CSR) leads in China, with US$12 million in revenue for the first quarter of the year.

This year should be a banner year for fees on equity-related deals in China, as analysts expect Chinese companies to sell around US$25 billion of shares in Hong Kong.

This includes the US$10 billion IPO of Chinese state-owned lender Industrial & Commercial Bank of China (ICBC.YY) expected at the end of this year.

That deal alone will pay its bookrunners - Deutsche Bank AG (DB), Merrill Lynch & Co. (MER), China International Capital Corp., Credit Suisse and ICEA Finance Holdings Ltd. - an estimated US$300 million in fees.

So far this year, Morgan Stanley is the top bookrunner for equity deals in China, with US$505 million in deals. Next up is BOCI, the Bank of China's investment banking arm, with US$438 million in deals. The two banks have each earned US$9 million from China equity deals so far this year. Morgan Stanley was the top bookrunner for China equity deals last year, earning US$106 million in fees on deals worth US$4.1 billion.

For fees advising on mergers and acquisitions in Asia Pacific ex-Japan, UBS was the top earner, generating US$24 million, followed by Goldman Sachs with an estimated US$16 million, in the first three months of the year.

The volume for Asia Pacific ex-Japan M&A deals totaled US$112.75 billion for the first quarter of the year, compared with US$71.1 billion for the same period last year, said Dealogic.

Germany's Deutsche Bank was the top bookrunner for bond deals in Asia ex-Japan, with US$6.9 billion in deals netting US$20 million in fees.
