Week one was all over the place with triple-digit moves every day. As far as the first day/ first 3 day and the first week of the year we are absolutely nowhere. The Dow was down less than one half
of 1%.
Last years first week indicator was worthless since it forecast a down year. While we did suffer for January 2014, looking back all we did was test the 200 day moving average and then rally to new highs almost 3000 Dow points higher.
We had a good gain of $1,243 (also YTD) and we have taken profits at what I feel is an area of some resistance. Our position in GILD is hedged with a “covered write” of the Jan 100 calls against our position in the $96’s. The optimum would be an expiration on Friday as close to $100 as possible but anywhere over $100 makes our gain of $646 per contract. Not a bad return on a position that started with calls @ $1.58 and half sold at $3.00 near the 100% up rule. I find this to be the best way to book profits and protect your capital. As I quoted Bernard Baruch here a couple of weeks ago, “I made most of my money selling early.” I have no trouble leaving some on the table for the next guy.
One of the reasons that I have not participated on the short side of this market is that I still believe we are still in a Bull market. This doesn’t mean that I go completely “unbalanced.” For example I have often taken a position in EFTs that are not exactly correlated to down moves but rather are havens of safety for when they occur. I’m speaking specifically of the TLT, and ETF based on the 20-year US Treasuries. While the Fed may believe that the “numbers” may justify a rise in rates, the market is always the best pricing mechanism, and when there is doubt or bad news this is one of the first places money flows. We also just missed buying the TVIX by 2 points which is a measure of volatility, usually goes up when the markets are negative.
Another market that has been the forerunner to our indexes has been oil. As was the case with interest rates in early 2013, it wasn’t that rates had doubled, but rather that they did it in just about one quarter. The bonds have since made a new recovery high. The situation in the oil is similar. Many producers, as well as refiners simply want a stable market that they can operate in. You would think that VLO, one of the most flexible refiners in terms of their ability to produce many different products would be a major beneficiary, but it too has moved lower from $60 to $42 and is around $48 now. The refiners are beneficiaries of low crude prices. Again, the market has collapsed ($110 to $48) and the price of gas was down a record 118 days in a row….Not the kind of environment you want to try to make a living drilling, refining or exploring.
If oil can just stabilize I feel that we could rally further and the energy EFTs will certainly be one of the places to be.

Market Strategies Fundamentals
The DJ Transportation Index fell 2.65% last week to 8858.15, a decline of 241 points leading all indexes lower, despite plummeting oil prices. The Dow gave up 96 points, or 0.5% to 17,737.37 and the S&P 500 Index lost 13 points or 0.65% to 2,044.81. The Nasdaq Composite tumbled 23 or 0.5% to 4,704.07. Nasdaq retreated 22.75 points to 4704.07, a decline of 0.5%. The Russell 2000 declined 13.12 points to 1185.68 or -1.09%.
Eight of the Ten Dow Industrial Groups were in the red led by Oil and Gas down 3.76%; Financials were second worse falling 1.97%; Industrials lost 1.54%; Basic Materials were down 1.33%; Telecommunications fell 1.01%; Consumer Services were down 0.54%; Utilities fell 0.23% and Technology fell the least, just 0.19%. Health Care was by far the best performer up 2.32%. followed by Consumer Goods gaining 0.61%.
The top ten holdings in the XLV, Heathcare ETF, are as follows: Johnson and Johnson ( JNJ: $ 104.94 ) comprising 11.19%. Pfizer is next ( PFE: $ 32.65 ) 7.55%. Merck ( MRK: $ 62.56 ) is third with 6.23% of the index. Gilead Sciences is fourth ( GILD: $ 102.21 ) with 5.47%. Amgen is fifth: ( AMGN: $ 155.73 ).
AbbVie is sixth ( ABBV: $ 65.78 ) having 4.015 of the index: Bristol Myers Squibb ( BMY: $ 60.32 )
Celgene 3.46% ( CELG: $ 113.67 ) and lastly followed by Biogen ( BIIB: $ 342.34 ) at 3.16%. The ten leaders making up 53.24% of the Healthcare ETF, which is the best looking sector going into 2015.
No matter how you paint it, deflation was never good for equities. Charles Evans, president of the Chicago Fed said last Wednesday that he wasn’t in favor of raising rates until 2016. This caused a sharp rally in equities. The S&P rallies from below 2000 to a high of 2064 on his thinking. The Fed had been expected to begin raising rates in June or July. Once a pattern begins, of raising rates, the markets factor in a continuation, as the initial increase in rates is usually just a beginning of many raises to follow. One thing is certain. 2015 will be a year of more volatility.
The VIX is now almost as popular as the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Standard and Poors 500 index. A Google search reveals about 28 million mentions for the VIX, 32 million for the Dow and 37 million for the S&P 500. The VIX ( VXX: 31.98 ) usually rises when stocks fall and trades above both its 13 and 50 day moving averages. For the fifth straight year, VIX futures set an annual trading record of about 50 million contracts in 2014, up 27% from about 40 million contracts in 2013. A close below the 30 level is needed to ensure a good year for stocks.
Market Strategies Economic Data
Nonfarm Payrolls came in about as expected, up 252K, a decent number in itself even though it was 101,000 jobs below the November figure of 353K. Private Payrolls increased by 240K, 105,000 below the previous month but an acceptable number. The big concern is over the decline in Hourly Wages, as earnings declined 0.2%. The Average Workweek remained the same at 34.6 hours.
December marked the 11th straight month of payroll increases above 200,000, the longest stretch since 1994. For the last year as a whole, the economy generated 2.95 million new jobs, the strongest annual showing since 1999. What came as a surprise was the drop in wages, exacerbating a trend that has been in place since the 2007-09 recession. Wages declined 0.2% last month, and for the entire year rose only 1.7%, the smallest 12-month gain since October 2012. The softness in wages is unusual given the tightening jobs market. Wages should go higher in the near future as 21 states are raising minimum wages this year.
The ranks of the long term unemployed continued to go down as those who gave up searching for jobs because they were unable to find full-time employment as a group fell two-tenths of a percentage point to 11.2%, the lowest level since September 2008. Almost two-thirds of the decline in the level of unemployment last year was among the long-term unemployed.
The Trade Deficit narrowed again, for November to -$39Bil the smallest monthly deficit since December 2013. The weakness in oil prices contributed to lowering import numbers as the U.S. remains a net importer of petroleum-based products. Imports declined by $ 5.2 bln in November to $ 235.4bln. Imports of industrial supplies fell by $4.6bln, which included the $ 2.9bln drop in crude and fuel oil. Capital Goods imports fell by $ 0.8bln. Consumer Goods imports increased by $ 1.6 bln in November, most of which came from a $ 1.8 bln increase in cell phone sales. Exports also declined $2 bln reflecting weakness within the economies of trading partners. Civilian aircraft sales fell $ 1.1bln, both auto sales and consumer goods fell by about $0.5bln each.

Stocks and ETF’s bought over the past few weeks:
Notice the Flexibility for whatever the market direction. Both the VIX and SPXU protect against declines while the UDOW and various stocks are from the long side. Last week the UDOW lost 1.6% following loss of 3.4% the previous week. The VXX ( volatility ) gained 3.2% for the week. following 9.5% the previous week The VXX remains quite lofty and higher for the month reflecting uncertainty and fear of the market. The SPXU gained 1.29% in each of the last 2 weeks. Both the Deere ( DE: $ 85.65 ) – $ 2.69 or -3% and DuPont ( DD: $ 73.50 ) – 0.21 cents on the week had some profit taking following explosive gains last year. Exon ( XOM: $ 92.10 ) has held quite well considering the huge drop in oil prices and if it can close above $ 92.50, the 13 day M.A., we would be long.

Southern ITS (SITS: $ 0.08 )*
Southern ITS delivers proprietary innovative electronic security systems to highly regulated market sectors. Such installations include Gaming Properties, Medical Marijuana (MMJ) dispensaries and similar businesses with high compliance mandates. Their systems go beyond simple security and are designed to support their clients in dealing with the expanding burden of compliance and financial auditing. Greeniosk is complete system that allows Medical Marijuana (MMJ) Dispensaries and Recreational Marijuana (MJ) Dispensaries to document and provide an audit and verification trail of each individual MMJ/MJ dispensary transaction.
The majority of MMJ Dispensaries have limited bank service access mainly due to requirements of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). The Greeniosk system incorporates a large physical ATM Kiosk, with a state of the art CRM reporting system that provides a detailed financial transaction audit trail and addresses and resolves issues of the propriety of the dispensary operations. MMJ Dispensaries currently transact between $250,000 and $5,000,000 in annual revenues. The majority consist of cash transactions, however small numbers of dispensaries accept debit card payments. Because RICO concerns cause the majority of banks to decline dispensary deposits, they also miss out on potential MMJ credit card transactions.
Labor Smart ( LTNC: $ 0.001 )
It is unusual to say the least to find a company doing $24 million is top line revenue which appears to be the case for 2014 and projecting over $ 30 million for 2015 to be trading at one-tenth of a penny. Debt has been paid down from about $ 3 million to $ 2.5 million from the sale of shares by the debt holders, but a good banker is needed to turn this stock around as the overall business itself is good.
Market Strategies Cycles
Whew! Wow, the snapback rally over the past two and half days has put the S&P 500 positive by two hairs for January’s First Five Days. After failing to deliver a Santa Claus Rally (SCR), the S&P 500 has roared back over the past two days to post a meager 0.2% gain during the First Five Days of January. The last 41 up First Five Days (FFD) were followed by full-year gains 35 times for an 85.4% accuracy ratio and a 14.0% average gain in all 41 years. The six exceptions include flat 1994 and 2011 plus four related to war. Vietnam military spending delayed start of 1966 bear market. Ceasefire imminence early in 1973 raised stocks temporarily. Saddam Hussein turned 1990 into a bear. The war on terrorism, instability in the Mideast and corporate malfeasance shaped 2002 into a tough year.
In pre-presidential election years this indicator has a solid record. In the last 16 pre-presidential election years 12 full years followed the direction of the First Five Days; however, 2007 and 2011 did not. The full-month January Barometer (STA 2015, page 16) has an even better record as 14 of the last 16 full years have followed January’s direction.
A positive FFD has improved the outlook for 2015 following a down SCR. This will be just the fourth time since 1950 that the S&P 500 has recorded this combination. The worst full-year outcome was flat midterm year 1994. We will withhold further judgment until the January Barometer gives its official reading at month’s end. The December Low Indicator (2015 STA, page 44) should also be watched with the line in the sand the Dow’s December Closing Low of 17068.87 on 12/16/14.
The Crude Awakening of 2014
The rapid fall in oil prices is the story of the year. The WTI futures have dropped from a high of $ 107.26 in June to $ $ 48.36, a drop of 54.9% in just a little over six months.
The collapse comes largely as a result of the U.S. shale boom and other unconventional production growth globally, which are only economical at
$ 100+/BBl prices, ramping rapidly over the past few years and challenging OPEC market share at a time when global demand decelerated from previous estimates. U.S. production has been growing dramatically. For 2014 9.12 Mln Barrels per Day were produced, up 12% for the year and up 80% from before the shale boom which began around 2008. U.S. crude imports are down over 30%. OPEC crude imports have fallen 50% since 2008 peaks to around 2.8 mLn BBls/day and Saudi imports have dropped over 405 to less than 970,000 Bbls/day.
Essentially U.S. crude production growth has displaced over 3.0 Mln BoPD of crude imports, primarily from OPEC.
Additional displacement will occur as America transitions from a net refined product importer to exporter. As global demand slows production is not economical for a few OPEC members at current prices due to large social spending programs who will not be able to balance their budgets.
| Cold Winter Could Heat Up Natural Gas | By Christopher Mistal |
Based upon the US Nat Gas ETF (UNG: $ $ 14.99 ) there is a seasonal tendency for natural gas companies to enjoy gains from the end of February through the beginning of June. Detailed in the Stock Trader’s Almanac 2015 on page 94, this trade has returned 17.7%, 11.5%, and 9.8% on average over the past 15, 10, and 5 years respectively. Concurrent with this is a featured trade on page 32 of the Commodity Trader’s Almanac 2013 that is based upon natural gas, the commodity.
One of the factors for this seasonal price gain is consumption driven by demand for heating homes and businesses in the northern cold weather areas in the United States. In particular, when December and January are colder than normal, we see depletions in inventories through February. This has a tendency to cause price spikes lasting through mid-April. This was precisely the situation in December 2013 through February 2014 when natural gas rallied from around $3.75/mmBtu to nearly $6.00/mmBtu.
A relatively mild start to winter this year combined with plunging crude oil prices has sent natural gas back below $3/mmBtu this week, even as many parts of the U.S. are unseasonably cold. Inventories are healthier now than a year ago, but are still below the 5-year average for this time of year. This combination of a recent sharp price decline and below average inventories represents an excellent opportunity for new long positions, especially with the coldest winter months still ahead.
