Loss For The Week $ 180

 

2016 YTD Profits $ 6337

 

Over 63% Returns

 

There are 2 Open positions:

 

Long 3 HL Sept 3.50 Calls

Long 10 AA July 9 Calls

Written 3 HL Sept 6.00 Calls against long position

 

Funds in Use = $ 831

 

Well, the second half started out pretty darn well, all things considered.  I didn’t want to be particularly

heavy in the market and although I was right on the money in the midweek note on the bonds I had

yet another loss in the TBT calls.  Sometimes you can have the facts and the numbers right and still

manage to lose money in options.

 

The loss for the week was only $180, bringing YTD gains back to $6337.  However, the open positions

don’t look too bad.  We own 10 AA 7/9 calls at $ .73 (closed $ .89) and we now have a covered write

in the HL 9/3.50 calls and the 9/6.00 calls.  The strategy may escape some, so I’ll explain the reasoning.

 

We owned 6 of the HL 9/3.50 calls @ $ .85 when the stock was $3.85 for a cost of $510.  We sold the

first half of the position last week @ $1.99 and took $597 out of the trade, so no matter what, we have

no risk in the balance.  The problem when a trade goes so far in the money it becomes a proxy for

the stock; For example; when the stock hit $5.60 the options were only $2.10 bid…no premium…So, in order to protect the trade I sold the 9/6 calls and got paid $ .52 and took in an additional $156 meaning we now

have a net profit of $753 from a cost of $510.  We now have a spread from our long @ $3.50 to the calls

sold @ $6.00.  On the remaining position, a $2.50 spread that costs NOTHING   and at the close Friday

was worth about $3 / spread to us, or an additional $750.

 

The A.A.I.I. numbers in the market lab still show some serious ambivalence.  Bull numbers were up, but

still show us 20% below average, bear numbers are 10% below average while neutral show us well over

average by 33%.  The argument can be a bit confounding since we are just under new all-time highs, and

usually the public is overly bullish.  Not so this time, which argues for more rally to suck “everyone” in from

the sidelines.

 

Conversely, Mike makes the point later in the letter that mid- July generally starts the “worst 4

months for the market..”  Another twist to add is that some of the more defensive issues, stocks that

people with concerns about the market on the way down, that pay good dividends and make “things” that

all consumers still need to buy, General Mills (GIS), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), Church & Dwight (a big pick of Mikes much lower..(CHD), and Walmart (WMT) are all at new all-time highs already. These are running ahead of the topping action that we see at reversals.  So, what’s an investor to do?  We are staying lightly invested, probably missing out on some of the more volatile names like AAPL, GOOG, NFLX that seem to be struggling anyway, and making trades that have a higher degree of certainty and better risk/reward profiles…CAM

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.

 

 

Market Strategies $100,000 Trading Account

 

There was one closed out long option position. The TBT July 30.50 Calls were stopped out on the 50% Rule for a debit of $ 360. 6 Hecla ( HL ) September Calls were sold at $ 0.52 for a credit of $ 312 against the 6 lot long position established on May 3rd.

 

The net weekly loss for the options trading was $ 360.

 

For the entire year on closed out trades, our hypothetical profits decreased to $16,230.

 

The options expire on the third Friday of each Month unless otherwise posted.

 

The Stock table has the following 16 positions:

 

AA, EYES (2), HL, MOS(2),   NBGGY,  NVAX, PYPL, REPR,  SAN, SCO(2),SUN,TEXQY, and TWTR.

 

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

 

The money management is based on a hypothetical $ 100,000.

We are using a total of $65,092 for the 16 open long stock positions.

The Open Option Positions require $ 1974.

This increases the margin requirement to $ 67,066.

The 6 written Hecla Call positions reduce the margin requirement by $ 312 lowering the margin requirement to $ 66,754,

leaving $ 33,246 in cash.

 

Open position losses decreased by $ 1,943 as stock prices improved.

 

These figures are approximate and there might be errors.

 

We have not counted the dividends received from many previous trades such as Apple, Colgate Palmolive, JP Morgan, Mosaic, North American Tankers, STNG, Santander, which pays over 5%, their Brazil affiliate BSBR and Blue Capital Reinsurance which was sold for a profit and many others. The trading is hypothetical and we do not count commission costs.

 

The trading is hypothetical and we do not count commission costs.

 

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.

Market Strategies Fundamentals

 

Last week’s rally virtually erased all losses from the Brexit vote market rout. As of last Friday, the Dow Jones Industrials had bounced back making a new yearly high at 18,166.77 not far from the all-time high May 2015 at 18,351.36. The DJIA closed at 18,146.74, up 197.37 or +1.10%.

 

The S&P 500 likewise gained 27 points to 2129.90 or + 1.28% making a new high close for the year and within just a few points of the all-time high made last May at 2137. The NASDAQ also put in a nice week gaining 94.19 points to 4956.76, up 1.94%. NASDAQ continues to lag DJIA and S&P 500 and is still negative year-to-date. The Dow Jones Transportation average rebounded from  a dismal performance the previous 2 weeks  gaining 125.66 points or + 1.66% to 7683 and climbing back to challenge its 200-day price moving average at about 7700. The DJT continues to be the laggard.

 

The Russell 2000 rose 20.59 to 1177.36, up 1.78%, but still below June’s high of 1190 and last December’s highs of 1205.

 

The Dow recovered in just 8 days 1,083 points and the S&P 238 points. The markets seemed to be effectively following the historical seasonal pattern associated with incumbent party victories. This would suggest Hillary Clinton will be the next President. S&P 500 is back on track and following the typical all-election year pattern.

Consumer credit expanded by $ 18.6 bln in May, more than the Briefing.com consensus of $15.3 bln and April’s $13.4 bln. The probability of any rate hikes by year-end is now just 24% according to the CME website. The strong jobs number failed to dent the Treasury Market which closed at a new all time high. The TLT 20+ Treasury Bond Fund ETF closed at 143.60.

The Brexit turmoil has pushed central banks of major economies to adopt a more dovish stance to their already benign policies. The FOMC July increase is most likely off the table, and also now potentially one increase, down from two, is possible for the second-half of 2016. If the markets are to go higher there is a need for at least a whiff of inflation and for Fed officials to lay off the rate hike scenarios.

The lower the yield, the lower the returns investors get from their bonds. That’s important because in periods where yields are near zero, many investors prefer to buy precious metals rather than bonds. In this manner, in the current stock market turmoil, part of the money that would normally go to assets paying a yield is going to gold and silver instead.

 

The following stocks were recommended in last week’s tabloid. In parenthesis is their closing price a week ago, Friday July 1st: Cambrex closed this past Friday July 8th  at $ 54.16 ( CBM: $ 51.75 ) A O Smith Corporation $ 89.24; ( AOS $ 87.21 ) Thor Industries $ 71.19 ( THO: $ 69.18 ) Worthington Industries $ 43.67 ( WOR: $ 42.01 ) LGI Homes $ 34.01 ( LGIH: $ 32.84 ) Hecla Mining $ 6.05 ( HL: $ 5.65 ). We would take profits in these uncertain times or recommend stops at Friday’s lows.

New Trade Ideas for an August Seasonal:

 

Biotechnology sector enters its historical favorable season in August. iShares NASDAQ Biotech (IBB) could be bought on dips below $242.50. The stop loss is $229.90 and auto sell is $350.24. A 16.0% average gain has occurred over the last 15 years while an average gain of 31.3% has taken place the most recent 5 years. Biotech had been hot in recent years and even though valuations are still arguably elevated, this is where growth can still be found. It is also quite likely that this sector will play a significant part in the next secular bull market. Unlike other areas of the market, IBB has not recovered fully from its January plunge. It has traded below $250 per share on several occasions over the past four months and each time it did it proved to be a good time to buy.

 

 

 

 

Market Strategies Economic Data

 

The Employment Situation report was a big headline beat, but some underlying details were not consistent with an employment picture that can be called the largest gain in eight months. Nonfarm payrolls increased by 287,000 (Briefing.com consensus 180,000). Over the past three months, job gains have averaged 147,000 per month.

 

May nonfarm payrolls were revised to 11,000 from 38,000. The downward revision to May nonfarm private payrolls resulted in the first negative reading for that series since 2010. April nonfarm payrolls revised upward to 144,000 from 123,000. However, April’s initial estimate of 160,000 jobs created was revised down by 16,000 to just 144,000 jobs. This means that for three out of the four months of this year we have seen downward revisions, and that the average revision has been a loss of 9,000 jobs. This suggests some weakness in the labor market.

June average hourly earnings were up 0.1% (Briefing.com consensus 0.2%) after being up 0.2% in May. Over the last 12 months, average hourly earnings have risen 2.6%. The average workweek was 34.4 hours (Briefing.com consensus 34.4) versus 34.4 in May. June manufacturing workweek was down 0.1 to 40.7 hours. Factory overtime was up 0.1 to 3.3 hours.

Private sector payrolls increased by 265,000 (Briefing.com consensus 178,000). May private sector payrolls were revised lower to -6,000 from 25,000.

The uptick in the unemployment rate was a function of a slight expansion in the labor force participation rate. This followed a 0.2% decline in the participation rate as more people sought work and a 0.3% decline in the Unemployment rate in May.

 

The trade deficit widened to $41.10 billion in May from $37.40 billion in April. That was worse than the Briefing.com consensus, which expected the deficit to hit $40.00 billion. Exports were down $0.30 billion to $182.40 billion while imports increased $3.40 billion to $223.50 billion. The real goods deficit increased $3.60 billion to $61.10 billion, which will be a negative for Q2 GDP since it is above the first quarter average of $60.50 billion. The numbers indicate relative strength in the U.S. economy when compared to the rest of the world.

The Non-Manufacturing ISM Report on Business (aka The ISM Services Index) increased to 56.5 in June from 52.9 in May. The Briefing.com consensus estimate was pegged at 53.3.

The June improvement was driven by growth in most categories. Business Activity/Production increased to 59.5 from 55.1, New Orders increased to 59.9 from 54.2, Employment ticked up to 52.7 from 49.7, and New Export Orders improved to 53.0 from 49.0.

The June report represented the 77th consecutive expansionary (i.e. above 50) reading and it was the highest mark of the year. However, the true test is likely to take place in the upcoming months as the index approaches a multi-year high near 60.0. Conversely, Prices slipped to 55.5 from 55.6 and Backlog of Orders declined to 47.5 from 50.0.

Market Strategies Cycles

 

Selling the September S&P 500 futures contract on or about July 15 and holding until on or about July 24 has a 61.8% success rate for the Stock Trader’s Almanac registering 21 wins against 13 losses in the last 34 years. The best win was $19,150 in 2002, and the worst loss was in 2009, posting a $12,650 bereavement. This trade had been successful in 13 of 15 years from 1990 to 2004. However since then it has nearly the opposite record, posting losses in 8 of 10 years from 2005-2014.

 

In these recent years, weakness did materialize however; it was not perfectly aligned with the window defined by this trade. In some years weakness arrived early and was fleeting wile in other years it was later and lasted into the early part of August. In 2015 this seasonal weakness trade returned and was nearly perfectly aligned with the seasonal trend. Typical summer weakness continued well into August and September, fueled by the Chinese bear market and the Greek Default.

 

This year the setup is compelling again but for different reasons as the market has rallied to surprise most despite Brexit, US Presidential fears,  heightened global terrorism and domestic turmoil, keeps this market is on shaky ground. Options traders can buy September Vertical Put Spreads.

 

 

 

 

 

Looking at the chart above, you will see the average price tendency is for a summer sell-off that usually begins in mid-July and lasts until mid-October. Part of the reason is perhaps due to the fact that July starts the worst four months of the year for NASDAQ and also falls in the middle of the worst six months for DJIA and S&P 500. Mid-July is also when we typically kick off earnings season, where a strong early month rally can fade, as active traders may have “bought the rumor” or bought ahead on anticipation of earnings expectations and then turn around and “sell the fact” once the news hits the street.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Undervalued Small Cap Stocks

 

Lower Priced stocks that look to be a buy:

 

Repro-Med Systems,Inc  ( OTCQX:  REPR 0.45 )*   

Fourth quarter preliminary net revenues will exceed $3.2 million, representing a slight increase over the $3.1 million of the previous quarter.   Sales are led by the Company’s proprietary infusion products.  The Company’s fiscal year ended February 29, 2016.

Andy Sealfon, Company President and CEO commented, “The military has expressed interest in our products for utilization in emergency applications as well as use in VA hospitals.  We believe that because of our performance standards and the reliability of our products, we will provide them with great value and benefits.”

The Company manufactures medical products used for infusions and suctioning. The Infusion product portfolio currently includes the FREEDOM60(R) and the newer FreedomEdge™ Syringe Infusion Pumps, RMS Precision Flow Rate Tubing(TM) and RMS HIgH-Flo(TM) Subcutaneous Safety Needle Sets. These devices are used for infusions administered in professional healthcare settings as well as at home. The Company’s RES-Q-VAC line of medical suctioning products is used by emergency medical service providers in addition to a variety of other healthcare providers.

NHIA is a trade association representing the interests of entities providing infusion and specialty pharmacy products and services to home-based infusion patients.

The Company’s website is RMSMedicalproducts.com.

Repro-Med Systems, Inc has had an increase in sales each of the last four years. They finished the year of 2014 with $ 11.2 million in sales reflecting top line growth of  29% from 2013.In each of the previous two years they had a 12% increase in sales. The company has had at least $ 700 thousand of net income in each of the past four years and has no debt. The patented needle sets alone can give the company a huge growth potential. In my opinion, with new products coming on stream, the stock should trade between $ 3 and $ 8 in the next two years.

 

Enzo Biochem ( ENZ: $ 5.96 )

 

The stock moved from approximately $5 a share to approximately $6.50 from May 1 to early June. If you look at the chart pattern of the stock the big volume came in on May 9 which coincided with the Louis Navellier recommendation that I sent to you on that date. He recommended 5 stocks of which 3 (including Enzo) all had similar chart patterns with significant increases in trading volume. I don’t know how much of that volume came from individual investors but the buying had lots of 100-500 share trades which tells me that individuals, not institutional investors were strong buyers of Enzo.

 

During the same time frame the Russell Index probably started to see some front running by Index funds or ETF’s to take a position into Enzo’s stock as they looked to be included in the Index. These funds mirror the Russell Index. The Russell is a two edged sword. The positive edge is that for Enzo it probably means 2-3 million shares will be bought. Enzo was included in the 2000 and 3000 Russell Index on June 10.

 

The Russell will hedge their long positions by shorting the stock against their long position to go neutral if they think the market shows weakness or if the fundamentals of the company change. If you remember when Enzo was removed from the Index a couple of years ago the short position was 4 million plus shares and the day Enzo was removed the shorts delivered their long position against the short to flatten the position. The short position on that day dropped to 1 million shares. Enzo had a conference call on their third quarter release last week and I didn’t see any change in the fundamentals. However those individual investors that bought on the Nave

llier recommendation don’t know the Company and saw that they reported a loss for the quarter (even though they beat estimates) and may have taken profits.

 

The market in general was down 5 straight days and the index’s that got long the stock may have shorted to hedge their position. That can be confirmed on the first two week short report due out next week. The short position at the end of May was 937,000 shares down from the mid- month short of 1,010,700.The stock has come down some 15% from its high which is not a big deal. To me it is just a technical move.

 

The stock is approaching oversold territory and as the fear grows the opportunity becomes bigger. The fundamentals haven’t changed and in fact have become stronger with the latest AmpiProbe approval. Enzo has cash of $50 million and no debt. There are 7 more cases to get settled in Delaware which can provide significant additions to the cash position. AmpiProbe will have more submissions to the New York regulatory agency this year. AmpiProbe is cheaper, better and faster than existing technology and that is a $3 billion market.

 

This is an awesome potential for a 47 million share company and who knows what will happen if the NIH has positive statements on their Optiquel test for Uveitis. The stock is 50% owned by Institutions and funds, 15% by insiders and I guess 10% by hedge funds. That leaves some 11 million shares in the float. If the Russell causes 2-3 million shares to be bought the float then become 8-9 million shares. Good news can really move the price.

 

 

Gold Mining USA  OTC: GMUI ( 0.01 )*

Has both mining activities in Australia and the U.S. Gold Mining USA Inc is an emerging natural resources company focused on developing metallurgical and mining projects. The Company’s business model is to acquire projects with the potential to provide significant resources through exploratory drilling and generate value through their development, joint venture or divestment. GMUI has a team of experts who will manage all mining operations available on their website. In addition GMUI has an Offtake Agreement with a prestigious Swiss-based Gold buyer and Refiner to purchase its gold production at the spot price at the London Bullion Market ( LBMA ) on the day gold is collected.

Australia and Nevada provide the opportunities to exploit smaller, undeveloped or previously mined gold resources that are of no interest to the large mining companies. In addition, there are numerous small hard rock and alluvial gold mines which have viable gold resources but are unable to raise the funds to start up or continue operations.

The company has signed an ongoing agreement with Cardno, a professional infrastructure and environmental services company, to assist in the evaluation and implementation of a work program on one of its North America properties. Steve Craig, a well-known Certified Professional Geologist, will be heading up the efforts on the project.

An initial target acquisition, Mt Tymn, provides an opportunity to enter the gold mining arena in Australia on a small scale with the confidence of total outlay recovery and good profits, sufficient to expand operations by acquisition of similar nearby deposits to continue positive cash flow mining and commence an exploration program capable of even greater rewards.

Technology Overview

 

The patented and proprietary technology does not involve apps and related downloads in order to receive and view messages and, as messages are delivered by Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, is capable of interacting with all cell phones including I Phones and androids.  The second hardware unit, the Smart Player, contains all the features of the Smart Antenna, while adding the ability to manage content on digital screens at the same time.

eHealth Consortium Group in Australia Update  / June 22, 2016

According to our reseller, JEA Technologies, eHealth Consortium Group’s intention is to start installations in hospitals located in the State of Victoria.  Installations into hospitals located in the States of New South Wales, Queensland, Northern Territory, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania and Australian Capital Territory would follow later.

As advised by JEA, the State of Victoria has a population of 4.6 million people and has 24 major government owned and operated hospitals in the Melbourne Metropolitan area, as well as 11 private hospital corporations.

The projected number of Smart Antennas per hospital, ranges from 10 to 15, which will be determined once site surveys at each hospital are completed.  Installations are expected to be in:  (i) each public entrance, installed into the entrance’s digital signage or the hospital way finding kiosks (information systems that guide people through a physical environment and enhance their understanding and experience of the space); (ii) the public food courts of the hospital’s cafeteria areas; (iii) the Accident & Emergency departments where there are long waiting times; and (iv) public waiting areas.

The total number of Smart Antennas for the 35 hospitals in the State of Victoria is expected to be from a minimum of 350 to a maximum of 525 for these hospitals and would increase as installations expand into the other 7 States.  iSIGN revenues will be derived from the sale of the Smart Antenna units as well as the monthly data management/message broadcasting fees.

Previous Developments
