Traders Comments
Funds in use has again ballooned to $2,324 as we had a good “shake out” of long positions.
This was the 10th time since January 2013 that the S&P500 was either at or slightly below the 50 day moving average. Each time we were down between 2.5% and 4% and each time werallied to new highs.
While we could certainly turn down again and test S&P500 1940, we have open equity in the AAPL, HOT and FB trades and LVLT and WFM are the leftover half positions from liquidations on the 100% Up Rule.
The market’s volatility for the past 2 weeks is a stunning departure from the past year or so.
We had triple digit moves in 7 of the last 9 days in the Dow. While the volume hasn’t been dramatic, this is the type of daily range expansion that erupts into big moves one way or the other.
Right now everyone is talking about the coming rise in rates and guessing it’s up, but I’m still not so sure. The more trouble with the slowing EU economies, and the Yen’s extended weakness and the Euro’s decline the better off we look. However, all of those are deeply oversold. The Yen (which closed at another new low) and the Euro could have some major “bounce” potential.
I’d look for a better opportunity in USD ($) and the US 10-year note for an entry point.
There are no new trades tonight since we go into another week with 5 open positions, I will text new trades.

Recommendations And Overall Comments
There were three closed out option positions last week causing a gain of $ 1,170.
Charles has continued a “hot” hand during the difficult months of August and September. He has done very well with Apple, FB, LVLT, WFM, the TBT and Kroger, while losing on FCX.
A stock purchase of Auxilium Pharmaceuticals was bought at $ 18.55 and now resides at $ 31.03.a gain of 66%.
He took a bad loss in WLT, a beleaguered coal stock during this dismal period of dollar strength and commodity weakness.
We now have five options positions long.
For the full year now we have gains of $ 27,476
Open position losses remain at $ 5,961
NBG has been costly but hopefully, Europe will get beyond geopolitical headwinds and will be roaring back . The earthquake in California has put a damper on BCRH, which has a stop close only stop at $ 17.55, narrowly missed last Friday when they went ex-dividend.
We also have not counted dividends received on stocks like Apple, Nordic American (NAT),
BCRH and JP Morgan.
The Stock table has the following 17 positions:
AA, AAPL, AUXL, BCRH, FCX, GALE, GRPN (2),
GSG, HL, NBG (3), REPR, RPTP, TEXQY, XRGYF
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
$ 58,811 in 17 stock positions plus
$ 4648 in five options positions totaling
$ 63,459 with
$ 36,541 in cash.
These figures are approximate. We do not count commission costs and there may be errors.

Market Strategies Fundamentals
Worries over a global slowdown amid geopolitical concerns have stymied what could be explosive growth across the board. The major European nations have embargoed Russian trade which following sluggish economic conditions has caused their GDP’s to languish, while the USA is surging ahead. Early last week, Germany’s IFO survey showed Teutonic business confidence in September dropped to its worst level in more than a year.
The IFO survey is prepared by the IFO Institute for Economic Research, and is based on about 7,000 monthly survey responses from companies across the board, in manufacturing, construction, wholesaling and retailing. Companies are asked to express their opinions about the business climate in Germany regarding both the current situation and expectations for the next six months. The change for September was a drop of 0.5% to a value of 110.7, which is a negative indicator.
This week’s meeting of the European Central Bank ( ECB ) on Thursday is very important as they have previously promised a form of quantitative easing including the purchasing of covered bonds and other asset-backed securities. The result of all this puts upward pressure on the dollar and negatively impacts American competitiveness across the board. As a result volatility has exploded the VIX up over 22% last week. One investor bought 125,000 November 120 Puts on the S&P 500 SPDR for $ 0.22. Many investors have bought inexpensive Put Options on the S&P 500 to protect their portfolios in the event of a big drop. The VIX closed at 14.85. Its long term average is about 19. Every major country, China, Japan, and Europe are all increasing money supplies to boost their economies.
Market Strategies Economic Data
Second Quarter GDP was revised up to 4.6% in the third estimate from 4.2% in the second estimate. This was the best quarterly estimate since Qtr 4, 2011. The bulk of the great numbers came from improvements in investment spending which increased 19.1% after previously reporting a 17.5% gain. Equipment Spending rose 11.2% from 10.7% and intellectual property jumped 5.5% from 4.4%.
The net export deficit was even revised down to $ 460 Bln in the third estimate from $ 463.5 Bln in the second estimate. Government spending was revised up meagerly to 1.7% from 1.4%. However, all that was prior to the ISIS situation requiring additional U.S. military outlays.
None of these serious geopolitical events were evident during this period of the Second Quarter or any time in our history since the times of the cold war.. The worst of the events is the Russian situation which is likely to have been over-reacted to by Western powers and causing contractions everywhere from Finland, France, Italy and of course Germany over the Ukraine which is hardly worth the effort as these people have been self-dealing, infecting the whole world with their ambitions. This is a wild-card to possibly retard all the good work done by the Bernanke-Yellen Fed.
Market Strategies Economic Cycles
October often evokes fear on Wall Street as memories are stirred of crashes in 1929, 1987, the 554-point drop on October 27, 1997, back-to-back massacres in 1978 and 1979, Friday the 13th in 1989 and the 733-point drop on October 15, 2008. During the week ending October 10, 2008, Dow lost 1,874.19 points (18.2%), the worst weekly decline in our database going back to 1901, in point and percentage terms. The term “Octoberphobia” has been used to describe the phenomenon of major market drops occurring during the month. Market calamities can become a self-fulfilling prophecy, so stay on the lookout and don’t get whipsawed if it happens.
But October has become a turnaround month—a “bear killer” if you will. Twelve post-WWII bear markets have ended in October: 1946, 1957, 1960, 1962, 1966, 1974, 1987, 1990, 1998, 2001, 2002 and 2011 (S&P 500 declined 19.4%). Eight were midterm bottoms. Current market weakness could be setting up October 2014 to be another “turn-around” month.

From Stock Market Almanac
Midterm election year Octobers have been downright stellar thanks to the major turnarounds mentioned above; ranking number one on the Dow, S&P 500, NASDAQ and Russell 1000 and second for Russell 2000. This is also the beginning of the sweet spot of the four-year-presidential-election-cycle. The fourth quarter of the midterm years combines with the first quarter of the pre-election years. However, this year we are encumbered with geopolitical events that are unsettling the whole world notwithstanding the markets.

Target Energy* ( TEX.AX 0.06 Australia ), In the USA, ( TEXQY: $ 5.50 ) a new ADR.
This company trading at a nickel could earn more than where it is now trading. Perhaps 7 to 10 cents is in the cards. Their business valuation exceeds market cap.
Leo Motors ( LEOM $ 0.06 )*
Has merged with LGM, a potential to be the Tesla of Asia. We like it now, above its 13-day moving average. Risk is 2 cents.
You will be hearing about a new short-circuit technology very soon. Many new breakthroughs in electric energy are coming! Look at their most recent 8K.

Princeton Research, Inc. has approximately 2,581,578 shares of AIVN both free and restricted and represents them for Investor relations. Princeton also has about 40,000 shares of TXGE. Princeton is paid $ 1,500 per month from RMS Medical Products. Princeton has bought 81,100 shares of RMS Medical Products. Princeton has been paid $ 2,500 to write a report on Xinergy.

We now believe REPR represents upside opportunity. The Target ADR trades at about $ 4.50 in U.S. vs 0.05 in Australia. Princeton owns 400,000 Australia shares and about 900 U.S. ADR’s.
