CLOSELY WATCH TO BUY TO COVER RBS, BCS, IBN, UBS

October 12, 2008

We have been short banks. UK government is investing $10B in RBS and $3B in BCS. We do not know how the stock prices will react. Should the prices begin to rally, we recommend covering in London. If the prices fall precipitously, again the right action will be buy to cover. If the prices open unchanged, we recommend buying to cover half and lose stop on the rest. Similar recommendations apply to UBS and IBN. We have been using IBN as a proxy for our recommendation to short Indian and Chinese Banks. We recommend following the aforementioned advice related to

CONSIDER BUYING TO COVER AMLN, VMW,AKAM AND RHHBY

October 12, 2008

The market crash has given us a great opportunity to take profits in our short positions. As a sharp bear market rally can take place any moment, we recommend covering AKAM around $13, VMW around $21, AMLN around $12 and RHHBY around $65. Should a sharp rally ensue and you have still not covered , you may consider covering at the market. In a rally , it will be easy to lose our large gains. www.thearorareport.com THE ARORA REPORT, Ltd.

CONSIDER BUYING BMY ( BRISTOL MEYERS)

October 6, 2008

In recent years BMY has lacked discipline. BMY’s refusal to raise bid for IMCL (Imclone) shows that the much talked about change has finally taken hold. Consider scaling in low $19 range and add if the stock dips. www.thearorareport.com THE ARORA REPORT, Ltd.

BUY PPC (PILGRIM PRIDE)

September 25, 2008

PPC is down to $4.29 on announcement of major loss and non-compliance with debt covenants. We believe nothing material from longer term perspective has changed for PPC. Our analysis indicates that new agreement with lenders is likely. We had expected a loss double the street consensus of $0.86 due to corn and soybean prices. We recommend consider scaling in here and buy more on dips. www.thearorareport.com THE ARORA REPORT, Ltd.

CONSIDER SELLING 75% OF BAC

September 21, 2008

On Sept 16,2008 we recommended considering buying BAC. We bought at $22. Our thesis for buying remains intact. However, in view of out sized gains in just three days, we exited at $38.83 on Sept 19 right after the open. Those still holing BAC should consider selling 75% of the position here and buying back again on dips in twenties. Exact entry points to be determined by news, sentiment and money flows. www.thearorareport.com THE ARORA REPORT, Ltd.

WE HIT BULLS EYE ON TREASURY BAILOUT PLAN,SELL BCS, WATCH UBS AND RBS FOR SALE, OTHER SHORTS AND ARBITRAGE OPPORTUNITITIES

September 20, 2008

We hit bulls eye by informing you before it was generally known that the bailouut will not cover non US institutions and providing you with the oppotunity to exit BCS position with over 30% profit in three days. Following is the text of the Treasury plan: September 20, 2008, 1:05 pmTreasury’s Financial-Bailout Proposal to CongressThe following is the legislative proposal from Treasury Department for authority to buy mortgage-related assets:Section 1.

SELL BCS ( BARCLAYS )

September 19, 2008

On Sept 16, 2008 we recommended buying BCS due to their buying Lehman assets on the cheap. In three days, we have profits from buying at $22 to the after hours price of $ 29-30. Our sources inform us that US government plan to buy illiquid assets will not be available to non US domiciled banks, and of course BCS is a British bank. As this information becomes widely disseminated on Monday, the stock may fall in London long before US markets open. We recommend selling now in the aftermarket. There seems to be size in the aftermarket to accommodate
