1. HE WHO DIES WITH THE MOST TOYS IS STILL DEAD
Citibank ads advise: “Live Richly”.  Naturally, we agree and are happy to report that the price of life insurance remains a tame indicator in our quality of life inflation index.  Philosophy aside, investors have another week to worry.  However, over the next 10 days, we recommend “Buying on Weakness”.  This especially applies to undervalued blue chip companies such as Cisco.  Most investors will have a tax season  second chance to get close to “even”.  We expecta second wind for the market when it will again climb the wall of worry until a repeat of Spring 2000 frothiness.  Currently, our long term pivot trading targets for DJIA and NASDAQ are 10800 and 2500 respectively.

THE CUP IS HALF FULL

One hundred fifty companies will default on as much as $60 billion of bonds and bank loans in 2001. According to Standard & Poor’s this is due to the U.S. economy slowing, credit remaining tight and companies' business plans will fall apart. So true. This warning came after what S&P called the worst year for defaults since 1991, when the United States was last in a recession.
We have Saturn opposite Pluto to look forward to this August……

The Association of the United States Army hails the introduction of H.R.244 that calls for a 7.3 percent increase in military pay to close the gapbetween military and civilian pay.  I believe that is what many US workers need to close the gap with quality of life inflation last year.  The question inquiring minds want to know is whether the US stock market will increase7.3% by the end of 2001. 

KEY DATES:        February 13, 14
NASDAQ:            2500 Testing
DJIA:                    10750 Pivot

2. Missed IBM at 90 or HWP at 30?  How about Cisco under 30? As perour February 7th Special Cisco Alert 1:40pm:
“While it is expensive from a P/E viewpoint, it is undervalued and NOW belongs in every long term growth portfolio.  Sometime over the next10 days, and under 32 consider buying yourself some if appropriate. I have bought today for most of my clients.”
We did our final buying at 28 1/4 our P3 target.  This is the kind of stock buying I STRONGLY RECOMMEND over the next 10-day period.  Accordingly, we upgraded Cisco from a long term accumulate to strong trading and investing buy.

Talk is cheap now that cell phone services dropped an average of 1.6% inJanuary in 19 out of 25 major cities.  Cheap is what many telecom stocksmaybecome in consequence. Check value, and accumulate patiently the likes of Motorola (MOT) under 16 and Deutsche Telecom (DT) under 30.  We like DT under 30 as it offers at 10% Euro bonus in 2001/2.

3. Latin Loves lead the World - in their dreams More than three quartersof people around the world have erotic fantasiesbut less than half bring them to life, according to a poll by Harlequin the publisher of romantic novels. Hot-blooded Argentines and Chileans led theway with 95 percent ofthose polled in the two countries saying they had fantasies.Danish women were the most faithful, with 58 percent of them keeping theirthoughts fixed on their man.So clearly the Danish out performance in 2000 was no accident. Japan was bottomof the list with only 50 percent of people admitting toerotic flights of fancy. Global investors will have finally discovered the real reason the Japanesemarket has been in a funk. Forget monetary policyand fiscal stimulus- it is EROTIC stimulus that Japan requires! 

Kimberly-Clark Corp., the manufacturer of Kleenex and Huggies, rolled out a major innovation in toilet paper: pre-moistened wipe on a roll. Cottonelle Fresh Rollwipes is called the first significant breakthrough in roll toilet paper in more than a century.  This is clear proof that astrology works as Jupiter is moving into Cancer.  KMB is a definite Watch!

4. "I am not sure the U.S. economy in the next 10 years will be as strong as it has been. It will go through a cycle. I think this cycle will be longer and deeper than others have predicted. But that does not mean it will not swing back."
Bill Gates
HW: Not the best is yet to come?  Is this why the MSFT downgrades or is due to the fact it is overvalued 50%?

"You're going to continue to see people cautious about the economy, questioning whether we're really going to have a quick snapback in the second half of 2001."
John Forelli, portfolio manager, Independence Investment Associates
HW: They are right to question.

5. If you are an experienced investor or trader, you should benefit immediately from our market timing and stock selection recommendations.  If youare less experienced, we recommend you practice first and pay most attentionto those recommendations that affect your portfolio.

Last time we gave 6 IBD rules for new investors, here are 4 additional AFUND guidelines:
1. Know your risk profile and objectives.  Are you willing to lose money? You cannot “risk free” make a lot.
2. Do you want to be entertained and have fun in the markets or make money? If the former, just play free stock market investing games.
3. Portfolio balancing: Divide your portfolio into 10 to 20 units diversified across at least 4 different sector groups. Note: buying several stocks from same sectors, e.g. Dell, IBM and Compaq is not diversification.
4. Make time to study the markets or hire a financial professional to help.

5. CBS.MarketWatch.com - SuperStar Funds:Too many market theories for 2001
HW: Perhaps “M” is the “right” letter?

6. READER: What makes you think the economy is better this time?  You can't be serious, Henry.  Let's see...for starters, we don't have to worry about a major European power owing us money and suffering hyperinflation; we don't have a heavily agricultural economy, we have margin limits...shall I continue?
HW:  Hmmm, we can worry about foreigners taking their money out when the US dollar drops below 105;
We can worry about Bush’s inauguration horoscope;
We can worry about either China or Japan blowing up in the upcoming Yearof the Winter Snake;
We can worry about the lost budget surplus with below expectations tax revenues in April
We can worry about the Saturn/Pluto Aspects starting in August;
We can worry about Saturn going over the US Sun in 2002;
We can worry about an economic slowdown…. shall I continue?
Or we can say: What me worry!  As of February 2001, this is less than a 16% possibility [15.4 is our current calculation].

READER: In order to lock in the old rate for renewals, do I have to pay the full $300 or $500 for renewing my investing membership by March 20 or atthe time my current membership expires which is later this year.
HW: You need to pay $300 or $500 by March 20.  However, this will extend your subscription by one or two years respectively. For example, if yoursubscription expires October 10, 2001 and you renew by March 20 for two years,your subscriptions would run until October 10, 2003.

READER: Explain the mentality to me re IHI - last year it went up markedly at this time without the sound news that it has now, now nothing seems to move it. Why???
HW:  Investors don’t believe. Unless one visits the factory and see actual progress, they assume it will be delayed and delayed.  Previously they were right. This time, they are wrong.

READER: Was wondering if you have any update info on CCCA? Shares haven't traded since October? Is the near future looking bright? What's going onat the company, as I can't seem to get anything interesting from their website? According to your earlier comments we should be seeing some favourableaction now and through to Feb 2001?
HW: Yes.  For one thing, we expect them to be trading on the CDNX (Vancouver Stock Exchange) within two months. I would not recommend buying (or selling) CCCA* shares until then, when it has a transparent market. Progress is slower than I would have liked, but what else is new? We will be posting on ourwebsite an update of this company as soon as we evaluate its new first tradehoroscope.

READER: Henry, do you seriously think NASDAQ in the medium term at 3200 to 3500 as mentioned in your comments?
HW:  I would love to see it, so that I could be comfortably short.  This may not happen however. More important is stock selection at this time.

READER: You fancy CISCO at 32/33 levels?
HW:  Under 31 I do.  My short-term target (4-8 weeks) is 34-36.  Long term, it is 38-42.
