This week we recorded a gain of $834
bringing the YTD performance to $30,749
2013 Total Returns Of 307%
The $10,000 Portfolio is now worth $40,749
This was a difficult week with the account getting caught in the CSCO surprise downside earning and forward guidance. I texted on Thursday morning that you should not sell the 12/24 calls on the 50% Rule since there was nothing to gain from selling a call @ $ .02 and receive $2.00
for each call. I believe that the stock may bounce back a bit and will text if and when we become sellers. The unrealized loss is roughly $580, so it still was a positive week.
One of the “unknowable” consequences that reared its head late in the week was the disclosure that several of our biggest international companies are seeing pushback on the sales of their products due to the security concerns based on the NSA spying issue. This should be a reminder that trouble can come from anywhere, and that they don’t ring a bell at the top of the market.
That said, we continue to move higher…One of the factors that I consider, the participation of the financials, has finally arrived. Moody’s downgrade, dramatically late, had no effect on the group as it seems ready to move to new recovery highs. There are very few periods when we continue higher without this group……
We will continue to look for opportunities across all sectors. With so many big names like INTC, with loads of cash, a good yield and riding the rising 200 day MA, I’m certain we can find some former favorites that are under appreciated.

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.

Recommendations And Overall Comments
New Trades:
1) Buy 16 INTC December 24 Calls @ $ 0.82
2) Buy 8 FDO December 72.50 Calls @ $ 1.40
We gained $ 2,433.00 in
closed out positions last week
increasing our profits for the year
to a hypothetical $ 62,453
not counting open positions losses of about $ 11,104
We also have not counted dividends received on stocks like Apple and JP Morgan.
We have five long options positions:
The Stock table has the following 20 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 $ 3,476 in five options positions and
$ 60,776 in 20 stock positions
totaling $ 64,252 with
$ 35,748.00 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.

Market Strategies Trading Fundamentals
The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 200 points or 1.3% for the week or 21.8% for the year to close at 15,961.70 an all-time new high. ( 13,104.14 to 15,961.70 ) The S&P 500 Index rose 1.6% or 28 points for the week to close at 1798.13 or for the entire year up 26.1%. ( 1426.19 to 1798.18 ). Equity market all over the world rallied as well 1-2%. Stocks are benefitting from low interest rates and the apparent policies of the new regime, with new incoming chief Janet Yellen, coming into the Federal Reserve to maintain a policy of low interest rates, which in turn promote higher risk stock opportunities.
While stocks have surged the economy is looking forward to growth as presently it is operating at a low gear as indicated from results of major companies like Cisco ( CSCO: $ 21.53 ) down 8.4% for the week. Kohls ( KSS: $ $ 53.95 ) down 5.4% reported lower same store sales and quarterly earnings. It noted many of its customers are struggling with falling incomes amid economic uncertainty.
Market Strategies Economic Data
Many of the economics statistics remain skewed as a result of the government shut-down which had their effect on both September and October numbers.
The U.S. trade deficit widened to $41.8 bln in September from a downwardly revised $38.7 bln (from $38.8 bln) in August. The Briefing.com consensus expected the trade deficit to increase to $39.1 bln. The goods deficit increased by $3.0 bln, from $58.3 bln in August to $61.3 bln in September. The services surplus declined to $19.5 bln from $19.6 bln.

Market Strategies Cycles
Stock markets are in overbought territory. Interest rates must remain low or will be an impeding factor as they will tend to rise at this point in the economic cycle. Nevertheless, Second day down patterns should remain as good buy opportunities.
November begins the “Best Six Months” for the DJIA and S&P 500, and the “Best Eight Months” for NASDAQ. Small caps come into favor during November, but don’t really take off until the last two weeks of the year. November is the number-three DJIA and S&P 500 month since 1950.
Since 1971, November ranks third for NASDAQ. November is also third best for Russell 1000 and Russell 2000 fourth best since 1979.
November maintains its status among the top performing months as fourth-quarter cash inflows from institutions drive November to lead the best consecutive three-month span November-January. The month has taken hits during bear markets and November 2000, down –22.9% (undecided election and a nascent bear), was NASDAQ’s second worst month on record—only October 1987 was worse.
In post-election years, November’s market prowess is relatively unchanged. DJIA has advanced in 12 of the last 15 post-election years since 1953 with an average gain of 1.7%. S&P 500 has been up in 11 of the past 15 post-election years. Small cap perform well with Russell 2000 climbing in 6 of the past 8 post-election years, averaging 2.6%. The only real blemishes in the November post-election year record are 1969 (DJIA –5.1%) and 1973 (DJIA –14.0%, OPEC oil embargo).
Gold prices tend to move up prior to the holidays, and the trend has worked especially well over the last 13 years. Seasonally speaking, it is best for traders to go long on or about November 19 and hold until about December 4. Over the last 38 years, this trade has worked 21 times for a success rate of 55.3% .The cumulative profit tallies up to $27,400. Up until last year this trade had been profitable for 12 straight years (2000-2011). The longer-term history of this trade is not as good, nonetheless profitable. Gold has had one of its toughest years this year, but this is a short-term trade and gold has become oversold and appears poised for a bounce. ( Stock Trader’s Almanac )
