Portfolio & Trades

What We Are Doing- We have been having a lot of fun (and profits) in spite of this rather uneventful range trading and early signs of weakness in the equities market. For now this is no more than a pause, since both the long and the intermediate term trends are still positive and a new market direction has yet to manifest itself.

But focusing on short term swing moves has once again proved to be quite profitable for us:

On Thursday, we closed a bullish position on the QQQQ January 41 Call options, pocketing a quick 8.5% profit.

On Friday we closed a short position on the Nasdaq opened the previous day, with a 13.5% profit.

Great results in a week in which the Nasdaq closed with a total range of -1 points!

What They Are Doing- Federal Reserve raising rates and Year end sales are the factors that might take the markets out of the sideways move they've been in for at least the last four weeks, when even largely positive economic data has not sparked much enthusiasm.

There has been much anticipation in the media for a continued bull market move in November-December, but the reality is that, after hitting long term resistance after the steep climb started earlier in the year, all major indexes are now threading water, having clearly lost their lively steam.

Gold closed lower in these last two weeks, sharply falling back on short term support. We'll monitor this closely, to alert you on possible rebound vs. continued fall developments.

Crude Oil has now touched long term support levels, continuing this week the fall we identified five weeks back and has now generated significant profits.

Corporate Bonds are still in their downward move and are trading over a relatively extended range. We are currently staying out of this market.


NEW OPPORTUNITIES

International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE:IBM) is reaching up to its highs of Summer '08 and is still in a very positive uptrend.

The healthcare benefits company Aetna Inc. (NYSE:AET), is also poised for a continued rally.

DELL Inc. (NASDAQ:DELL) has been moving down for several weeks and is not hitting long-term support, which we will follow to identify likely volatility swings in the upcoming weeks.
