For those of you who do not buy puts to protect your portfolio, there are many ETF’s that are the inverse of the DOW. The symbols are DOG, DXD, SDS,TZA and RWM, which go up when the  DOW, S&P 500 and Russell 2000 go down and down when they go up. The DZZ goes up double when gold goes down.

$100,000 Trading Portfolio

Recommendations And Overall Comments

We had two closed out options positions last week and one stock position.

Our losses for the new year were reduced to $ 2,435. 

For the full year 2013 we had realized gains of $ 53,556.

 

We have open position losses of about $ 5,647 most of which are held over from last year.

We also have not counted dividends received on stocks like Apple, Nordic American ( NAT ) and JP Morgan.

We have three long options positions:

The Stock table has the following 19 positions:

The options call for a $ 2,500 investment unless otherwise stated; each stock position requires $5,000 unless specifically stated.

 

We are basing money management on a

hypothetical $ 100,000 and are

Using $ 2,970 in three options positions and

$ 67,570 in 19 stock positions

totaling $ 70,540 with
$ 29,460 in cash.

These figures are approximate. We do not count commission costs and there may be errors.

Executions that have occurred at or near the open or close of trading sometimes vary from our actual numbers.  For example, when something opens down and it is through our price, we take the next trade whether it is an uptick or continues lower.  This sometimes results in a 50% trade that is slightly above or below the exact number.

 

Previous Week’s Recommendations and

Rules for the Market Strategies

This Weeks’ Market Strategies

Economic Numbers and Media Data

Market Strategies Economic Data

Most of the economics reports were positive: The Treasury Budget showed a surplus of  $ 53.2 bln in December after showing a deficit of $ 1.2 bln in December 2012. The consensus expected a surplus of $ 44.0 bln. It was unusual that there was surplus beyond what was expected by the Congressional Budget Office. ( CBO ). Total revenues increased by $ 13.7 bln from $ 269 bln in December 2012.

Outlays fell to $ 230 bln from $ 270.7 bln in December 2012. Retail Sales grew well above expectations 0.2% better vs flat expectations. Retail Sales ex-auto advances 0.7% vs expectations of + 0.4%.

Business inventories advanced 0.4% vs expectations of 0.3%.

Both the NY and Phila Fed reports excelled. Empire Manufacturing was 12.5 for January vs just 3.5 December. The Phily Fed rose slightly to 9.4 from 8.0.

JOLTs ( new job openings ) increased again to 4 .001 Mln. Industrial Production was about flat even though Capacity Utilization rose to 79.2%, the very best reading for the year.

 

Market Strategies Trading Fundamentals

Markets were flat yet again for the week. The market digested the poor Intel earnings and Nasdaq led the with a small 0.55% gain for the week. The S&P was slightly higher; the Dow was a little lower. The best performing stocks included Alcoa, up 12.3%, JNPR up 10.4%;

We texted to buy the Alcoa, took some option profits and remain long some AA shares.

If the TLT can keep rising, even though slowly, and it looks like it can go higher, the results will be favorable as earnings hold up reasonably well. There were some huge downside moves.

NUS ( 79.47 ) – 58.21 or -42.3% and HLF -11.61 or -14.2%. The Chinese government stepped in to question sales practices of Nuskin, something even our government has let slide.

Interest rates rising is the biggest threat to continued stock market rallies. Last week the Fed was again a financial winner. The Fed has quadrupled the size of its balance sheet to about $ 4 trillion and its value blossomed. The Fed current quantitative easing program is working and the $ 10 billion in QE reductions to $ 75 billion per month is of little consequence.

Fed officials are watching employment numbers as a clue to further Fed action and got no help last week with the small increase of jobs . U.S. unemployment  was 10% in 2009 and has now dropped to 6.7 % in December not that far from the Fed goal of 6.5% unemployment.

Nonfarm Payrolls were influenced by the worst weather in decades, certainly not a harbinger of a trend.

Seven of the ten Dow economic groups were higher led by Healthcare, up 2.86%.

Utilities rose 2.33%; Financials continued their lofty ways, up 0.70%.

Technology grew 0.61% despite the demise in Apple ( AAPL: $ 532.94 ) – $ 10.99 for the week and $ 38.09 on the year.

Industrials, Consumer Goods and Services were all positive rounding out the winners.

Oil and Gas was flat. Basic Materials fell 0.41%, while Telecommunications fell 1.94%, by far the most of any group.

Market Strategies Cycles

The biggest winner so far among the January Effect trades which go until February 15^th, was Origin Agritech ( SEED: $ 2.40 ) up 110% followed by Rare Element Resources ( REE $ 1.63 ) plus 38%.

One of the losers so far is Target Energy ( TEXQY: $ 3.51 ) down 16%. Princeton Research has bought shares and is also doing I.R. for the company.

Weight  Watchers ( NYSE: WTW $ 28.97 ) ( $ 32.13 ) stopped out. Disappointing…made its high point for the year on January 16^th at $ 60.30. January is the time for New Year’s resolutions for many over-weight people. Also, as of the end of November 7 million shares were short out of just 27.5 million in the float out of 56.5 million shares outstanding.

Walters Energy ( NYSE: WLT $ 13.96 )  ( $ 14.79 )As low coal prices improve such will also help this leveraged play. 23.15 million shares were short as of the end of November. The stock reached $ 17.02 on January 2^nd.

Nuverra Environmental Solutions ( NYSE: NES $ 15.20 ) ( 16.28 ) Has been the biggest loser so far. Prospects in waste management and water recycling has made a partnership with Halliburton. The high for the year  2013 was $ 44.20. A bounce is likely from current depressed levels.

Target Energy* ( ADR: TEXQY $ 4.10 ) ( 4.19 )This Australia based oil explorer and producer is very undervalued. Go to www.targetenergyusa.com . Drilling is in both the Permian Basin and Louisiana. For more information go to www.princetonresearch.com web site as we do investor relations for them.

Apache ( NYSE: APA $ 86.20 )  ( 86.41 ) Has been under siege in the past 30 days with avalanches of selling which must include some tax-loss selling. APA sells at a discount to peers with a PE of just 12x consensus forecasts of $ 7.50 a share for next year.

Cirrus Logic ( CRUS: $ 19.08 ) ( 19.86 ) No debt and a current ratio of 6.12. A nice opportunity.
