Charles Moskowitz Discussion
We have 5 open long positions:
DIS Aug 107 Calls;
HACK Aug 31 Calls
MOS Sept 45 Calls
SPY Sept 210 Calls and
SNSS Aug 3 Calls
Funds in use = $2,460
WHY OPTIONS NOW ??
Week 33 was another good one even with all of the volatility. We made money on both sides of the market with gains in MOS and DIS calls and SPY puts. Gains were one of the best of the year at $1,106, bringing YTD gains to a new high of $7,849. Open positions are using a total of $2,460 down just slightly week to week.
The market continues to confound many of the players. The AAII sentiment numbers for this week are truly unusual in that we had an increase in both bullish and bearish numbers with the losses coming from the neutral players.
There are several notable indexes that are starting to show some bottoming action that includes the change in the daily ranges during a period (summer) when we see lower volume and diminished ranges. The Transports, Energy, and Russell are all trying to make a stand. As I mentioned last week, the Financials are all that is needed to tip the scales to an overall positive market. The Chinese have possibly caused a delay as their devaluation makes the dollar stronger and the economic numbers including multinational earnings weak enough to possibly delay the rise in interest rates, previously due at the September meeting. A look at the 10 year treasuries action this week tells the story. I was ready to buy the calls on the TBT ( leveraged short 20yr ) on Wednesday only to see it fail to follow through to the upside. I’m still looking at this trade but need to see how it develops.
The reason that options are the way to play this market right now is simple. It limits our risk while the market makes up its mind on direction. If you look at some of the high volatility stocks that have had news, like AXP last week or histories of major upside breakouts, with gaps, like AMZN, or AAPL, the only “safe” way to play them is by buying puts. That way, if you want to play a reversal at market highs, you limit your risk.
Last week AXP looked like it might have been completing a fairly major top when an activist reported taking a $! Billion position. If you were short this one you saw a dramatic reversal from recent lows around $75 straight up to $80…a quick $5 loss. However, the $75 puts could have been bought for $1, and your loss was limited to that $100 spent.
While we don’t recommend trying to call a top or “catch a falling knife,” it can be the biggest reversal and gain…Risk=Reward……but the only way to play is to limit your risk. Options clearly is the answer. It also plays into my trading philosophy of either “being right, or right out….CAM.

Market Strategies Fundamentals
It was a wild week for the stock markets. The DJ Transportation Index ended the week up 68 points to 8318.70, up 0.82%. The S&P 500 gained 13.97 points or 0.67% to 2091.54 while the Dow rose 104 points or 0.60% to 17,477.40. The Russell 2000 was also positive for the week gaining 5.79 points or 0.48% to 1212.69.
The Chinese government devalued their currency 1.9% Tuesday and then another 1% Wednesday aiming to boost their weakening economy. The markets opened the day Tuesday sharply lower with the S&P opening down 16.3 and Nasdaq off 26.2. The fear of decelerating world economic growth had sent the Dow down 277 points early Wednesday morning to a low of 17,125.81 before its dramatic recovery of more than 350 points off the low to close in positive territory for the week.
The S&P 500 had fallen on Wednesday 24.48 points for the week, breaking its 200-day moving average at about 2075, to a low of 2052, before its dramatic recovery to end the week in positive territory at 2091.54.
The Nasdaq Composite finished the week at 5048.24, up 4.69 or 0.09%, virtually flat after having fallen to a low of 4945.79, still above its 200-day moving average of 4,900. However, the Nasdaq has fallen below both its 13 day and 50 day price moving averages which now together form a band of resistance at 5095. The XLK, which is the Technology spider, had a huge volume spike Tuesday before breaking down to 41.44 on Wednesday, well below its 200-day moving average at 42.00. The XLK recovered to 42.42 Friday, up 0.30 for the week or +0.7%. However, it has huge resistance just above at 42.50-60.
The Russell 2000 had dropped to 1189.42 before recovering to 1212.69. The Russell has its major resistance just above at 1224 where the 13 and 50 day moving averages coincide. On Thursday, the Russell fell 0.35% to close at 1,204.74, its lowest close since February 11th.
The Russell is without a doubt the weakest of all indexes as the small caps do not do well in an atmosphere of rising interest rates.
The DJ Transportation Index was the best performer up 0.82%. The positive economic releases for both Industrial Production and Retail Sales helped the weekly recovery. The Tranny had dropped to a low of 8141 before recovering to 8318.70. The DJT needs to close above its 50 day moving average looming just above at 8355, for the recovery to be meaningful.
Economic numbers in the U.S. were very good last week. Productivity was up with wage gains up but not inflationary; Industrial Production was solid and Retail sales were outstanding.
All Ten Dow Industrial Groups ended the week higher. Oil and Gas stocks led the way, up 3%; Utilities rose 2.46%; Telecommunications 1.30%; Industrials 1.10%; Technology gained 0.71%; Basic Materials added 0.57%; Financials added 0.37%; Consumer Services 0.33%; Health Care 0.11% and Consumer Goods plus 0.02%.
Market expectations, as the result of China’s devaluation and general global weakness, are for the Fed not to raise interest rates in September.
Market Strategies Economic Data
Consumer sentiment is strong and there is labor market security. Initial Claims are near a 40-year low. Consumers should increase spending. This number bears out Fed thinking that the economy is strong.
Retail sales increased 0.6% in July after an upward revision brought sales to the flat line (from -0.3%) in June. The Briefing.com Consensus expected retail sales to increase 0.5%. Excluding autos, retail sales increased 0.4% in July after increasing an upwardly revised 0.4% (from -0.1%) in June. Core sales – which exclude sales at motor vehicle dealers, gasoline stations, and building material and supply stores – increased 0.3% in July, up from a 0.2% gain in June. These sales more closely track the goods component of GDP than the headline retail sales.

Motor vehicle demand played a large part in the increase in sales growth. Motor vehicle manufacturers reported that unit sales increased to 17.6 mln SAAR in July from 17.0 mln SAAR in June. That gain pushed up sales at motor vehicle and parts dealers by 1.4% after declining 1.5% in May. Sector wise, large gains were reported in the furniture (0.8%), sporting goods (0.9%), and non-store (1.5%)sectors. Sales declined at electronics and appliance stores (-1.2%) and department stores (-0.8%).
Industrial Production increased 0.6% in July after increasing a downwardly revised 0.1% (from 0.2%) in June. The Briefing.com Consensus expected industrial production to increase 0.3%.
This was the largest increase in industrial production since a 0.9% gain in November 2014.
Manufacturing production increased 0.8% in July after declining 0.3% in June. That was the largest increase in manufacturing production since a 0.9% gain in November 2014.
Nearly the entire increase in industrial production was the result of historic gains in the auto industry. Excluding autos, total industrial production was flat in July and manufacturing production increased only 0.1%.
Motor vehicle assemblies increased to 13.61 mln annualized in July from 11.81 mln in June. To put that number in perspective, July assemblies were the most since 13.89 mln were assembled in November 1978, and assemblies have only exceeded the July level twice since data started being collected in January 1967. The level of July assemblies also helps to explain the large increase in the Chicago PMI Production Index, which rose to 61.8 from 49.8 in June.
The record increase in motor vehicle assemblies caused a surge in industrial production growth. Even mining increased as a result of better weather.

Both Productivity and Wages improved in the second quarter.
Nonfarm productivity increased 1.3% in Q2 2015 after declining an upwardly revised 1.1% (from -3.1%) in the first quarter. Both Productivity and labor costs increased even while in the midst of a slowdown in oil production. Compensation per hour rose 1.8% in the second quarter, topping the 1.1% gain in the first quarter. The second quarter gain, however, was still well below the growth rates from the second half (3.2% and 3.4%) of 2014.
Productivity gains help keep cost-push inflation pressures from rising wages in check. Over the long term, it is productivity gains that provide the increase in output that have led to the consistent gains in living standards in free market economies.

Market Strategies Cycles
Volatility tends to pick up in August. In the following chart, weekly bars of CBOE’s Volatility Index (VIX) are plotted with its 1-year seasonal pattern plotted below. In an average year, VIX typically reaches a low in July and then begins to steadily climb toward a high sometime during October and then begin to decline once again. Note how over the last year VIX has tracked its seasonal pattern rather closely. The UVXY 25.82 gives a better bang for the buck and is trading near its lowest level of the year.
Look for a short-term snap back rally before a resumption of downward pressure at the end of August and into September. In addition to seasonal pressure, economics and market action both here and abroad are not encouraging and then there is the possibility of a Fed rate hike sooner than later which is not historically bullish for the market in the near term.
On Tuesday DJIA’s 50-day moving average fell below its 200-day moving average registering what is ominously known as the death cross. Unfounded rumor has it that this death cross is negative indication for the stock market. Research shows this is not always the case. DJIA’s last death cross on August 24, 2011 came 40 calendar days before the subsequent correction low was made on October 3, 2011, a modest 5.9% lower low. A July 7, 2010 death cross was even milder with a low arriving 50 calendar days later at a mere 0.3% below the day of the cross. Most of these death crosses occur near intermediate or short-term lows. The flipside of the death cross, the golden cross, when the 50 DMA crosses above the 200 DMA is more indicative on the upside.
In the above chart the 30 trading days before and 60 trading days after all 43 DJIA death crosses since 1950 have been plotted. On average, there was little difference in the severity of the decline whether it was during the “Best Six Months” or the “Worst Six Months.” The 43 previous death crosses were split nearly down the middle between the two periods, 22 were in the “Worst Six Months” and 21 in the “Best Six Months.” What is clear in the chart is that by the time the death cross occurred; the bulk of DJIA’s move lower had already taken place.
Undervalued Small Cap Stocks
Enzo Biochem ( ENZ 2.90 ) Buy on a dip to below $ 2.80.. The company has revenue of about $ 100 million per year. This pressure has been against the stock since May and now may be ending. I would expect the stock to start to recover to much higher levels. When AmpiProbe is approved the top line revenue should start to show a increase within 3-4 months of approval (product rollout, packaging, etc..). Enzo should be included in the Russell next year if all of this comes to pass. Upside pressure is likely for the stock.
RMS Medical Systems, Inc ( REPR 0..295)* . The company is poised for world-wide growth. The Freedom 60 is being marketed in Europe as well as gaining a footing among home-care professionals in America. International sales increased 47.8% first quarter 2015 up from same quarter 2014. U.S. sales were down 10%. Some of the First Quarter Sales were completed in the previous quarter. The RescueVac is used in ambulances and planes for emergency suction.
Immune Therapeutics, Inc. ( IMUN 0.20 )* Buy now. IMUN is a specialty pharmaceutical company formed by patients funded by patients involved in the manufacturing, distribution and marketing of patented therapies to combat chronic, life-threatening diseases through the activation and modulation of the body’s immune system. The Company’s technology platform is built on two different immunotherapies, Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) and Methionine-Enkephalin (MENK). These proprietary technologies exploit the power of the body’s own immune system to find and kill diseased cells. We have bought the shares.
Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) is a proprietary immunotherapy for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, HIV/AIDS, opportunistic infections, cancer and a range of other serious diseases. LDN works by boosting levels of endorphins (peptides produced in the brain and adrenal glands). These natural peptides are also powerful modulators of the immune system. In order for the body to maintain good health and wellness, there is a balance of the immune system between the cellular (Th1) and the humoral (Th2) immune systems. Immune balance is regulated through T-helper cells that produce cytokines. The Th1 lymphocytes help fight pathogens that are within cells like cancer and viruses through activation of interferon-gamma and macrophages. The Th2 lymphocytes target external pathogens like parasites, allergens, toxins through the activation of B-cells
In order for the body to maintain good health and wellness, there is a steady state of balance of the immune system between the cellular and humoral immunity as well as the regulatory T-cells that keep things under control.
When there is an excess of Th1 responses or cellular immunity conditions such as Crohn’s disease, Type 1 diabetes mellitus and graft versus host diseases result. When there is over activity of the humoral immune system the body over reacts to allergens or even itself (autoimmunity). And with less cellular surveillance cancer can occur. What the body needs to remain healthy is a balance of the immune system. LDN is a compound that works on the body’s natural opioid system to restore immune balance..
