Free Report Download for Subscribers


As a bonus to our Free Weekly Newsletter subscribers, we are now
offering a FREE DOWNLOAD of one of our $ 25.00 Detailed Valuation
Reports.
This week's free download is our report on Chemtura Corporation (CHMT,
$CHMT). Chemtura is a global manufacturer and marketer of specialty chemicals,
crop protection and pool, spa and home care products.
A screen for undervalued/top-ranked one-month forecast stocks with market
prices in excess of $3.00 and average volume in excess of 100k shares/day performed
with our Institutional software package (VEI) found Chemtura Corporation near the
top of the list. Chemtura Corporation reports Q1 2011 earnings on May 5th after the
close.
ValuEngine has issued a STRONG BUY recommendation for Chemtura
Corporation on Apr. 21, 2011. Based on the information we have gathered and our
resulting research, we feel that Chemtura Corporation has the probability to
OUTPERFORM average market performance for the next year. The company exhibits
ATTRACTIVE P/E ratio, price/sales ratio and market valuation.
Based on available data as of Apr. 21, 2011, we believe that CHMT should be
trading at $70.08. This makes CHMT 75.00% undervalued. Fair Value indicates what we
believe the stock should be trading at today if the stock market were perfectly
efficient and everything traded at its true worth. For CHMT, we base this on actual
earnings per share (EPS) for the previous four quarters of $18.17, forecasted EPS for the
next four quarters of $1.20, and correlations to the 30- year Treasury bond yield of
4.45%.

What's Hot—ValuEngine Forecast 16 Market Neutral
Strategy Newsletter Provides Solid Returns Despite
Market Gyrations
The ValuEngine Forecast 16 Market Neutral Strategy Newsletter is based on one
of our most tested and researched market approaches, the VE Diversified Growth
Benchmark Strategy. It uses our Forecast Model to provide the same sort of long-short
equity portfolio utilized by major hedge funds and institutions without the hefty
management and performance fees.
Market neutral strategy (MNS) portfolios offer the potential of decent, steady
returns in both good markets and bad. For the last three years, the ValuEngine
Forecast 16 Model MNS portfolio has provided the highest returns of any of our
benchmark portfolio strategies. The ValuEngine Diversified Growth 16 Market Neutral
Strategy Newsletter offers the investor capable of running a short side access to
increased performance with lower overall volatility and hedged risk.
Since inception, the ValuEngine Forecast 16 MNS Portfolio Newsletter has
provided a return of almost 70% while achieving a better Sharpe and Sortino ratios
than the S&P 500. In addition, the ValuEngine Forecast Model MNS Portfolio
Newsletter beats the S&P 500's overall volatility and had a maximum draw down that
was @66% less.
We re-balanced and published the April edition of our newsletter earlier this
week. Once again the portfolio shrugged off the roiled markets and provided a very
good return in the midst of some market volatility and uncertainty. Our portfolio
posted a positive return of 3.69% this month but lagged the S&P 500 by 131 bps.
Thanks to a very strong performance from our long side, we had an overall gain
despite the challenging market environment for our shorts. The modified stop-lossed
strategy beat the standard MNS and outperformed the S&P by 95 bps.

Our long side provided superior results this month and handily beat the S&P 500.
It was bolstered by the massive 58% gain from GSI Commerce. Solid gains were also
racked up by Revlon, Manitowac, Mercer, Federal Mogul, and Ahold NV. This was
the third month in a row where one of the newsletter's picks provided a gain of 45% or
more.
Overall result along with long-side portfolio performance tables are below:

Treasury Yields
10-Year-- (3.408) The 50-day simple moving average is 3.462 with
daily and weekly risky levels
at 3.302 and 3.271.

Commodities and Forex

Comex Gold-- ($1501.7) Traded to another new all time high at $1509.5 this morning
as the daily chart becomes more overbought. My semiannual value level is $1452.6
with the weekly pivot at $1497.0, and quarterly and monthly risky levels at $1523.7 and
$1559.9.

Nymex Crude-- ($111.35) After a low of $105.50 on Tuesday crude oil closed back
above my semiannual pivot at $107.14, and traded as high as $112.48 this morning.
Daily, annual and monthly value levels are $104.13, $101.92, $101.09 and $99.91 with

$120.52 and $125.22.

The Euro-- (1.4513) My monthly value level at 1.4170 held on Monday. The euro is

morning. My quarterly pivot is 1.4308 with weekly and semiannual pivots at 1.4620 and
1.4624, and semiannual risky level at 1.4989.
Major Indices

All the major equity averages I track are now above their 50-day simple moving
averages and their five-week modified moving averages. This delays the confirmation
of a “Double Top”. Since the mid-March lows there have been several false breakouts
as only the Dow Industrial Average reached a new 2011 high at 12,475.53 on
Wednesday. We may be setting investors up for that “Sell in May and Walk Away”?

Key Levels for the Major Equity Averages

Dow -- (12,454) This week’s value level is 12,023, the 50-day simple moving
average at 12,194 and the five-week modified moving average at 12,200.

risky level is 12,481.

S&P 500 – (1330.4) My daily, weekly and quarterly value levels are 1308.7, 1287.7
and 1277.7 with the 50-day simple moving average at 1315, the five-week
modified moving average at 1314, and the February 18th high at 1344.07.

NASDAQ – (2803) Daily and weekly value levels are 2750 and 2670 with the 50-
day simple moving average at 2754, the five-week modified moving average
at 2753 and the February 18th high at 2840.51, and monthly risky level at 2898.

NASDAQ 100 – (2358) Daily and weekly value levels are 2315 and 2235 with the
50-day simple moving average at 2321, the five-week MMA at 2312, and the
February 16th high at 2403.52.

Dow Transports – (5259) My weekly value level is 5077 with annual and daily
pivots at 5179 and 5260, the 50-day simple moving average at 5174, the five-
week modified moving average at 5206, my monthly risky level at 5371, and the
April 1st high at 5404.33.

Russell 2000 – (8839.45) Daily and weekly value levels are 818.21 and 815.38 with

average at 824.09, my monthly risky level at 856.67, and the April 6th high at
859.08.

The SOX – (4443.42) Daily and weekly value levels are 420.25 and 405.31 with
