Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Joon Choi]

  Currently, the monthly relative strength indicator (RSI) reading is 83.7. (A reading over 70 is considered to be overbought.) To put this figure in perspective, the monthly RSI of the Nasdaq Composite was 85.9 on March of 2000 (the index peak), and we know what happened afterwards.

• [By Greg Harmon]

  The Fresh Market (TFM), has been rising off of a bottom in March. It recently went through a 'W' consolidation and jumped higher, but is now retesting the top of the 'W'. The relative strength index (RSI) has held the mid line during the pullback and remains bullish while the moving average convergence divergence indicator (MACD) is not as positive. A turn higher, back over 53.50 could be a catalyst for a long entry, but a fall under 52 sets a target for a measured move (MM) lower to 50. This stock does not report earnings until late August.

  Today, I plan to introduce the sixth of 10 selections to the Basic Needs Portfolio: Select Medical (NYSE: SEM  ) .

  How it fits with our theme
  The first thing worth noting here is that not every company in a portfolio filled with stocks that take care of life's necessities needs to be worth $100 billion in market value. In fact, I'd be surprised if more than 10% of readers knew what Select Medical is, or what it does, off the top of their head. But, sometimes the best hidden gems are those companies that are yet undiscovered.

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Selena Maranjian]

  Patience, Grasshopper
  For starters, imagine that you invested in Mesabi Trust (NYSE: MSB  ) about a year ago and you're down some 20% on your investment. Your holding might be looking to you like an answer to the question, "What is investment panic, Alex?" But don't be so hasty. Ask yourself why you bought it. Mesabi Trust is a royalty trust that receives and then pays out to shareholders a portion of the proceeds from iron mined by a�Cliffs Natural Resources�subsidiary. Some might avoid it because royalty trusts often have expiration dates, but it's worth noting that Mesabi's is rather�far away. But slowdown in demand�for ore is a concern, one that has been�an issue for Cliffs, too.

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Dan Carroll]

  Beijing's subsidies to domestic materials producers has made life tough for leading companies in the industry, such as the world's top steelmaker, Europe's ArcelorMittal (NYSE: MT  ) . Unless China counters its slowdown by increasing infrastructure investment -- an action the government has taken before -- Chinese oversupply could hamper already-pressured prices in steel and other commodities even further. Slowing demand has hurt ArcelorMittal and its rivals in the industry already, and a glut of supply in what is still one of the world's fastest-growing economies won't help sales get back on track.

• [By Zacks]

  Other players in the steel industry worth considering are Companhia Siderurgica Nacional (NYSE: SID), ArcelorMittal (NYSE: MT) and AK Steel holding Corporation (NYSE: AKS). While Companhia Siderurgica Nacional and ArcelorMittal carry a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), AK Steel has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
