Charles Moskowitz Discussion
Week 42 produced a loss of $264 bringing YTD performance back to $7,571 with only 1 open small (half) position in SPY 10/28 213 puts @ $1.03. Funds in use total $412.
The market did nothing this week with the S&P500 having an inside week with a total range of only 24 points and a net change of only .38%. The internals were slightly positive but not enough to give us any hint of direction. Even though the US$ was higher, so was Oil and Gold. The Russell, devoid of large-cap internationals and supposedly immune to the dollar saw a decline of almost 2%. The A.A.I.I. numbers are also confounding with the bears now at 37.8 or 20% over average, bulls are 23.7 or 40% under average and neutral are 38.4 and 20% above average. This is not what market corrections are made of, and yet the chart below couldn’t look more dangerous to me: the A.A.I.I. survey with Bull now 30% below avg, Bears 10% above and Neutral still the highest reading @ 40.8% still over 33% above average. So while I’m trading from the short side primarily, we are not nearly done with the long term upside. However, after looking a lot of charts this weekend the group that looks the most ready to rally is the VIX, VXX and the leveraged reverse indexes…not a great way to start the week.
We have the 3 distinct tops in August and the massive $54 break 9/9. We rally but can’t get back above the gap from that gap @ 2180 and consolidate until 10/10 when we break again. This formation from 9/9 to 10/10 is a “bear flag” and the action since then has not been able to close above 2150. All during this time the momentum is trailing off and OBV is actually making new lows. However, if it goes on much longer it will start to look like just another consolidation and will favor the seasonal upside bent to the market in the November/December period.
Last, but not least, I want to comment on our stock position in SAM. We own it with a $154 average and while I don’t generally like to hold high-priced stocks into earnings we had a little cushion. Earnings were Thursday after the close and the stock was $156 and traded down to $148 and back to 153, not too bad. Then came the conference call and when it opened Friday it traded down to 145, but started up and closed @ $163+6.75. Just goes to show, sometimes you’re the hammer and sometimes you’re the nail…CAM

Undervalued Small Cap Stocks
Lower Priced stocks that look to be a buy:
Repro-Med Systems,Inc ( OTCQX: REPR 0.41 )*
For the quarter ended August 31st, net revenues were $3,147,930 compared with $3,166,177 in the comparable quarter last year. REPR had strong organic growth both domestically and internationally in the quarter as well as new customer wins, which are expected to continue going forward. Results were masked by the non-recurring contribution from a large clinical trial last year. Net revenues increased in Q2 compared with Q1 of the current fiscal year by 5%.
For the six months ended August 31st, net revenues were $6,138,096, an increase of 5.9% compared with $5,796,722 for the same period last year, driven by increased sales of infusion products to existing customers as well as the addition of new customers.
For the three months ended August 31st, gross profit was $1,954,592 compared with $2,006,729 for the same period last year. RMS continues benefiting from lean manufacturing initiatives to streamline operations, which have resulted in increased capacity and decreased direct assembly labor costs, as well as the moratorium on the medical device tax. For the six months ended August 31st, the gross profit margin increased 2.6% to 63.4%, up from 60.8% for the same period last year. Gross profit for the six months ended August 31st was $3,891,404 compared with $3,524,589 for the comparable period.
RMS continues to incur professional fees related to regulatory and litigation and has made significant investment over the last twelve months in its sales, regulatory and operations management to help launch RMS to the next level of growth. As a result, the Company reported for the quarter ended August 31st, a net loss of $82,612, compared to net income of $335,214 in the same period last year. For the six months ended August 31st, net loss was $315,928 compared with net income of $270,574.
Enzo Biochem ( ENZ: $ 5.93 )*
The stock moved from approximately $5 a share to approximately $7.00 from May 1 to July.
In the last few days Enzo stock has been under heavy pressure. There is nothing fundamental to cause the slide in price. So the business model remains in place and hopefully will add new products over the remainder of the year. They completed the 2016 fiscal year at the end of July and probably had a cash position of some $65 million and no debt to speak of. When the stock cleared the $7 level, the Relative Strength Index was over 70, which is overbought. That $7 number was a 4 year high The last two days has brought the Index close to 30 which is oversold and we should see a bounce in the stock price this week.(just a guess) We have to remember the Russell Indexes that bought close to 3 million shares in late June also shorted close to a million shares as a hedge. That short position declined by some 300,000 shares from July 1 to July 15.
Over the rest of the year we could see more AmpiProbe panels being approved; NIH comments on the Optiquel trial for Uveitis; positive outcomes in the litigations.
The stock is oversold and the upside 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.
Pressure BioSciences OTCQB: PBIO ( 0.34 )*
has identified significant “needs” and the means to fill them in the world of today and the foreseeable future:
NEEDS IN MEDICINE: In the world of medicine our dramatically improved ability for early detection or to confirm and refine diagnosis ranging from over a hundred types of cancer to tuberculosis and a hundred other maladies and conditions is “bottlenecked” by 30 year old methods of preparing test samples. Collectively such diagnostic samples exceed a hundred million annually.
NEEDS IN RESEARCH: Globally there are over a half a million medical and pharmaceutical research scientists working in over eighty thousand laboratories who are hampered by the time consuming and outdated methods of preparing test samples.
NEEDS IN FORENSICS: Globally, in millions of cases, swift and sure exoneration of the innocent and / or justice for the guilty is often delayed or even denied because of the ponderous means of preparing and conducting DNA and other forensic testing.
PBIO is focused on solving the challenges of biological sample preparation, a crucial laboratory step performed globally by the biological life sciences research scientists. Sample preparation refers to a wide range of activities that precede most forms of scientific analysis. It is often complex, time-consuming and, in our opinion, one of the most error-prone steps of scientific research. Sample preparation is a ubiquitous laboratory undertaking – the requirements of which drive a large and growing worldwide market.
PBIO has developed and patented a novel, enabling technology platform that can control the sample preparation process while improving both efficacy and quality. It is based on harnessing the unique properties of high hydrostatic pressure. This process, called pressure cycling technology, or PCT, uses alternating cycles of hydrostatic pressure between ambient (normal atmosphere) and ultra-high levels i.e., 35,000 pounds per square inch (“psi”) or greater to safely, conveniently and reproducibly control the actions of molecules in biological samples, such as cells and tissues from human, animal, plant and microbial sources.
The PBIO pressure cycling technology uses proprietary and internally developed instrumentation that is capable of cycling pressure between ambient and ultra-high levels at controlled temperatures and specific time intervals, to rapidly and repeatedly control the interactions of bio-molecules, such as deoxyribonucleic acid (“DNA”), ribonucleic acid (“RNA”), proteins, lipids and small molecules. Their laboratory instrument, the Barocycler®, and their internally developed consumables product line, which include Pressure Used to Lyse Samples for Extraction (“PULSE”) tubes, and other processing tubes, and application specific kits such as consumable products and reagents, together make up their PCT Sample Preparation System (“PCT SPS”).
The PBIO pressure cycling technology takes a unique approach that has the potential for broad use in a number of established and emerging life sciences areas, which include:
- Biological sample preparation in potentially thousands of research laboratories worldwide working in human, animal, plant, and microbial diseases and disorders – including but not limited to sample extraction, homogenization, and digestion in genomic, proteomic, lipidomic, metabolomic and small molecule study areas;
- Pathogen inactivation (useful in vaccine development, infectious disease research, and more);
- Protein purification, and in the control of chemical reactions, particularly enzymatic (useful in drug design and development);
- And immunodiagnostics (useful in the development and detection of biomarkers).
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
PBIO has secured their technology through fourteen issued United States patents and ten issued foreign patents covering multiple applications of pressure cycling technology in the life sciences field. They also have additional patents pending. Research indicates that Pressure BioSciences Inc is the ONLY Company globally to have patents in this new science sector.
Night Food, Inc. ( NGTF.0.10 )*
is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Night food Holdings incorporated in Nevada in 2013 to manufacture and distribute healthy-choice bedtime snacks. The Company has an exclusive agreement with RFI, natural ingredient manufacturer and proprietor of Chocamine, a patented chocolate ingredient
Americans keep gaining more weight. People have the tendency to grab for goodies at the end of the evening as they relax to enjoy some T.V. Eating and snacking too late at night is a contributing factor to gaining weight. Seventy percent of adults, ages 18-54, eat right before bed. Chocamine delivers the health benefits of chocolate to the body (amino acids, minerals and polyphenols) without the added sugars, caffeine or fat.
People give in to the intense hunger cravings that leads to the consumption of sugary, salty or calorie dense foods to satisfy their appetite. Most of the snacks that people typically eat create a disturbance in sleep, causing a person to wake up feeling unrested. Night Food offers nutrient filled alternatives to high-calorie junk foods. There are flavor filled snack bars-either Cookies and Dreams or Midnight Chocolate Crunch that will help curb hunger, satisfy cravings, improve rest and give the body essential vitamins and minerals. Consumers spend over $50 billion/ year on night-time snacks, nearly 1 billion a week. More people desire healthy alternatives to late night consumption of the traditional fattening ice cream, chips and cookies.
Sugar and caffeine in most snacks causes disruptive sleep. Each bar has only 142 calories and 5 grams of fiber for slow absorption of energy and gives a feeling of fullness and satisfaction. There is also 132 mg of calcium and zinc for replenishing the body and feeling well rested in the morning.
iSIGN Media Solutions ( ISDSF: $ 0.085 )
Announces Signed Contract Between We Build Apps and a Major Shopping Complex Located in Ohio. The contract covers installation of 500 Smart Antennas into a first Shopping Complex; Minimum Revenue to iSIGN is $2.7 million Canadian.
Recent news has pushed it above its 30 day moving average and it had exceeded $0.15 Canadian on a high volume breakout. The stock has been disappointing failing to move above its next resistance at $0.20 and move towards its 2 yr high of $0.28.
The Crocker people and their 22 developments could bring iSign significant revenues. Homeland Security and a major insurance company deemed the smart antenna as a safety device as well as a security device making the potential for new markets is limitless. One deal brings in 3 million times that by 20 deals because the insurance company theoretically gives a 20-25% premium discount to companies that use the smart antenna.
According to the iSign Media reseller, JEA Technologies, eHealth Consortium Group’s intention is to start installations in hospitals located in the State of Victoria.
Leo Motors ( LEOM: $ 0.19 )*
has patents for the electric battery industry which we will be writing about in upcoming weekly reports. They have developed a lithium battery that can operate vehicles in sub-zero climates. Their subsidiary LGM has developed battery technology supported by the Korean government to make it possible to use electric battery technology for fishing boats. They have a cartridge system which is a light-weight replacement method of swapping electric batteries.
Fishing has been harmed by the noise and oil leaks from internal combustion engines. LGM has solved that problem and besides eliminating the toxic problem, operating costs are reduced by 25%.
In addition they have a special patent for averting electric hazards and shocks. Leo developed the Internet of Things for e-boats which is networked and connected with an Android Operating System. Leo’s power supply system is CAN ( Controller Area Network ) based, which enables mobile diagnosing between mobile devices and boats using the Leo technology.
Leo is developing a battery swap system for Kalmado in Puerto Princesa, Philippines which is a world famous tourist attraction. They will be converting 100 boats as the environment is expected to become 100% free of the toxicity from internal combustion engines. Also, Leo has developed a battery swap system for Go-Karts to be used in malls in China, Korea and Myanmar.
Leo Motors has a new carbon nanotube battery power pack that functions and supplies full power in extreme low temperatures such as below 49 degrees without the need for grid electricity.

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.
Where To Invest October 2016
Market Strategies $100,000 Trading Account
There were two closed out options positions:
the SPY October 212 Puts were sold on the 50% Loss Rule for a loss of $ 408.
The AMBA October 65 Calls were sold at $ 0.95 losing $ 120.
The net for the week was a setback of 528.
There were no closed out stock positions.
For the entire year on closed out trades, our hypothetical profits fell by $ 528 to $21,128.
The options expire on the third Friday of each Month unless otherwise posted.
The Stock table has the following 21 positions:
AA ( 2 ), AMBA, EYES ( 2 ), FAST, HL, MOS( 2 ), NBGGY,
REPR, SAM ( 2 ), SAN, SCO( 2 ), SPXU ( 2 ), SPY, TEXQY, 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 $81,149 for the 21 open long stock positions.
There is one option position, the 8 SPY October 28th 213 Puts requiring $ 824
which totals $ 81,973 leaving $ 18,027 in cash.
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.
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.

Stocks opened the week significantly lower on expectations of continued weak earnings reports. The S&P 500 closed on Monday at 2126.50, a loss of 6.5 points or 3% on the day, however, a complete recovery and rally to 2141.16 by Friday’s close put the index up 8 points on the week a gain of 0.38%.
DJIA | 18138.38 | 18145.71 | 7.33 | 0.0 | 4.1 |
Nasdaq | 5214.16 | 5257.40 | 43.24 | 0.8 | 5.0 |

Russell 2000 | 1212.41 | 1218.11 | 5.70 | 0.5 | 7.2 |
The S&P leaders for the week were Netflix Inc ( NFLX: $ 127.50 ) + $26.03 or + 25.7%; CF Industries Holdings Inc ( CF: $ 25.92 ) + $ 3.64 or + 16.3%; Reynolds American ( RAI: $ 53.78 ) + $ 6.51 or + 13.8%; Harley-Davidson Inc ( HOG: $ 56.37 ) + $ 6.44 or + 12.9%; PayPal Holdings Inc ( PYPL: $ 44.15 ) + $ 4.91 or + 12.5%; and Time Warner ( TWX: $ 89.48 ) + $ 9.93 or + 12.5%. The biggest weekly losses were: Southwestern Energy ( SWN: $11.90 ) – $ 1.31 or down 10.2%; Assurant, Inc ( AIZ: $ 82.81 ) -$ 8.17 or – 9%; eBay Inc ( EBAY: $ 29.06 ) – $ 2.83 or – 8.9%; Genuine Parts ( GPC: $ 90.59 ) – $ 7.42 or -7.6%; and Union Pacific Corp ( UNP: $ 90.37 ) – $ 6.47 or – 6.7%.
The Dow responded in a similar fashion opening the week off 52 points at 18,086 but recovered to 18,145.71, a gain of 7.33 points or + 0.04% for the week. The biggest winners were American Express Co ( AXP: $ 67.36 ) + $ 7.21 or + 12%; United Health Group ( UNH: $ 145.37 ) + $ 11.45 or + 8.6%; and Microsoft ( MSFT: $ 59.66 ) + 2.24 or + 3.9%. The big weekly decliners were Intel ( INTC: $ 35.15) – $ 2.30 or -6.1%; Travelers Companies Inc ( TRV: $ 108.35 ) – $ 6.73 or – 5.9%; Procter and Gamble Co ( PG: $ 84.33 ) – $ 4.10 or – 4.6%; and Johnson and Johnson ( JNJ: $ 113.44 ) – $ 4.12 or – 3.5%.
The Nasdaq was by far the most impressive index after a similar slow start Monday making a gain of 43 points or 0.83% for the week. The Nasdaq finally reclaimed its 50 day moving average and reaching up to its 13 day m.a. Exponent ( EXP: $ 56.41 ) + $ 7.71 or + 15.8% breached its 50 and 200 day moving averages; Theravance Biopharma ( TBPH: $ 33.54 ) + $ 4.51 or + 15.5%.
Basic Materials was the strongest Dow Industrial up 2.05% and led all sectors by a significant margin: AK Steel ( AKS: $ 5.16 ) + $ 0.65 or + 14.4%; Hecla Mining ( HL: $ 5.91 ) + $ 0.67 or + 12.8%; and Cliffs Natural Resources ( CLF: $ 6.01 ) + $ 0.67 or + 12.5%.Financials were the next best group rising 0.93% followed by Consumer Services up 0.85%; Technology gaining 0.70%; Oil and Gas up 0.53%; Utilities gained 0.51% and lastly, Health Care, up 0.23%. Telecommunications was by far the biggest loser off 3.54%, followed by Consumer Goods, down 0.18% and Industrials off just 0.16%.
The US dollar ( DXYO: 98.09 ) +0.61 or plus 0.6% had another great week making a gain of 3,4% over the last three weeks. The greenback’s strength was partly a function of safe-haven flows and interest-rate differentials.
Volatility ( VIX: $13.34 -2.78 ) declined 17.3% last week. Lower volatility is usually bullish for stocks. The more volatile ProShares Ultra Vix Short-Term volatility futures ( UVXY: $ 14.23 ) – $ 3.35 or – 19.1% fell to its lowest level in three months since July.
Debt Levels are Unsustainable and Politics are Toxic
While interest rates have been low, governments have loaded up on debt. Now, a certain catch-22 is developing.
Governments are continually rolling over debt at very low rates, but if we went back to normal rates, given that they gigantically increased government debts, the effect on fiscal policy for governments would be nearly catastrophic. This situation is similar to heroin addiction, with an eventual crash and withdrawal coming at some point.
Central banks should have started to raise rates more quickly to counteract the compound effects on pension funds, he said. Now, however, because of the amount of debt outstanding, raising rates would have terrible impacts not only on governments but also corporations.
On the following table long positions have declined sharply in five of the last six weeks to roughly 189, 243 from 301,769 in the first week of September.
Barrick Gold (ABX: $ 16.92 ) + $ 1.23 or + 7.8% for last week. ABX will release its results for the third quarter on Wednesday after the close. Investors will be expecting Barrick to sustain the momentum that it has gained over the past week.
In fact, the spot price of gold has moved up nearly 1% from the recent low of $1,252 per ounce to $1,265 per ounce. This has given Barrick shares a shot in the arm going into its quarterly report. Once Barrick releases its results next week, the stock will receive another shot in the arm since it is on track to deliver solid growth. Why Barrick will witness strong growth
There are two reasons why Barrick Gold is on track to deliver robust earnings growth for the third quarter – improved pricing and lower costs. In the recently-concluded third quarter, Barrick should witness an average realized price of above $1,300 an ounce. In comparison, in the year-ago period, Barrick’s average realized price of gold came in at $1,125 an ounce.
This indicates that on a year-over-year basis, the company’s average realized price per ounce of gold should increase by more than 16%. This increment in the gold price will lead to an improvement in margins. But, investors should not miss the fact that the growth in Barrick’s margins will also be driven by a consistent cost base.

Market Strategies Economic Data
Industrial Production increased just 0.1% in September (Briefing.com consensus +0.2%) after declining a downwardly revised 0.5% (from -0.4%) in August. The capacity utilization rate increased to 75.4% (Briefing.com consensus 75.6%) from a downwardly 75.3% (from 75.5%). Utilities output was down 1.0% on the heels of a 0.3% decline in August.
The small uptick in September was paced by a 0.2% increase in manufacturing output, which was driven by a 0.5% increase in the production of nondurables. The production of durables was unchanged.
Motor vehicle assemblies rose slightly to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 12.28 million units from 12.24 million units in August. Mining output was up 0.4% after declining 1.0% in August.
Total industrial production was 1.0% lower in September than the year-ago level. Meanwhile, the capacity utilization rate of 75.4% is running 4.6 percentage points below its long-run average.
The key takeaways from this report are that industrial output remains soft, which is a headwind for GDP growth, and that capacity utilization remains weak, which suggests a lack of inflation bottlenecks and little need to construct new capacity.

Housing Starts declined 9.0% in September to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.047 million units (Briefing.com consensus 1.168 million). Building permits — a leading indicator — increased 6.3% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.225 million (Briefing.com consensus 1.164 million).However, One shouldn’t take the September housing starts report at face value. It wasn’t as bad as the lead headlines suggest. Single-family starts increased by a solid 8.1% to 783,000, the highest rate since February.
Starts for multi-unit dwellings declined 38% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 264,000, but single-family starts rose 8.1% to 783,000.
Permits to build single-family homes rose 0.4%, suggesting that new home construction should continue on a steady, albeit modest, pace.
Single-family starts were up in all regions, with the exception of the West (-2.2%). The Northeast led the way with a 20.0% increase, followed by the South (+12.1%), which is the nation’s biggest region for new home construction, and the Midwest (+6.3%).
The number of housing units under construction at the end of the period was roughly flat at 1.038 million; however, this should still be a positive input in Q3 GDP forecasts since the third quarter average of 1.035 million is 3.0% higher than the second quarter average.

The Conference Board’s Leading Economic Index (LEI) increased 0.2% in September, as expected, rebounding from an unrevised 0.2% decline in August. Positive contributions from building permits (+0.19 percentage points), the interest rate spread (+0.14 percentage points), and average weekly initial claims (+0.13 percentage points) were the difference makers in September. The remaining components were either up marginally or negative.
The biggest drag on the LEI in September was the average workweek (-0.07 percentage points).
Over the six-month period ending September 2016, the LEI increased 1.1% versus growth of 0.3% over the previous six months.
The Coincident Economic Index increased 0.2% in September after being unchanged in August.
The Lagging Economic Index was also up 0.2% for the second straight month.

Market Strategies Cycles
As of today’s close, the Seasonal MACD Buy Signal is still on Hold. The STA MACD “Buy” indicator applied to DJIA is positive, but S&P 500 and NASDAQ remain negative. In order to issue the Seasonal MACD Buy Signal, DJIA, S&P 500 and NASDAQ MACD “Buy” indicators need to signal a “Buy” and all must be in agreement.
ETF Portfolio Updates
Per last update from earlier this month on October 4, SPDR Utilities (XLU) has been closed out of the portfolio. XLU was closed out using its average price on October 5 for a modest 4.0% return excluding dividends paid while it was held. Recent rate hike expectations and a stronger U.S. dollar have resulted in iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond (TLT) being stopped out on October 11 when it closed below its stop loss of $133.00. Price only return was a meager 0.2%, but with monthly dividends included it is better as they totaled around $1.50 since May. Our other bond holding, iShares Core US Aggregate Bond (AGG) is still on Hold.
Recent volatility did allow the addition of iShares NASDAQ Biotech (IBB), SPDR Consumer Staples (XLP), SPDR Healthcare (XLV) and Vanguard REIT (VNQ). As of yesterday’s close, IBB, XLP and XLV were still trading below their respective buy limits and can be considered at current levels. VNQ was 2.3% higher yesterday and can be considered on dips below its buy limit.
This month’s Seasonal Sector Trade idea, CurrencyShares British Pound (FXB) was added to the portfolio on October 11 at $120.00. The pound’s mini crash appears to have put in a bottom as the low on the eleventh has held thus far. FXB is on Hold. Significant uncertainty remains as to the effects of Brexit, but since most of the disastrous consequences have not materialized and may not there is room for a pound bounce. If the bounce fails, the tight stop loss should be heeded at $117.90.
Numerous positions in the portfolio remain open with buy limits that are below current market levels. In some cases, well below. IYW, IYT, IYZ, SOXX, XLY, XLB and XLK can all be considered on dips below their respective buy limits. Any positions not added before our Seasonal MACD Buy Signal will be considered when we issue the Seasonal Buy.
