PAPER PROFITS, PAPER LOSSES
IF you didn’t sell your stocks last March, you lost your paper profits,
IF you didn’t sell your stocks this March, you will lose your paper losses.
We see NO reason to slit your wrists. Simply buy and hold quality blue chip TECH stocks like IBM and Cisco that are selling below value and buy and hold them like in the good ole days.

FASHION
Men’s fashion this year is both retro and high-tech, innovative and traditional, crisp white shirts and black leather, enhanced denim, and, for some, full-metal jackets. Market translation: both old economy and new economy stocks can do well- but select stocks carefully to avoid being “out of fashion”.

HOPE FOR THE BEST; PREPARE FOR THE WORST   Current recession odds: 20.194%
Note: If Alan does not lower interest rates as expected next week- the sky will Fall! Should he act as everyone expects, will an Alan rally fizzle? If it does, it should be back up in early April, so this is of more concern to traders than investors.  Upon my return from Sun and fun, I will address the market’s probable longer term actions/reactions, i.e. How long a Rally?  How far?

KEYDATES:    March 19, 20
DJIA:        S1 10,000 S2 9800 S3 9500
NASDAQ:    R1 1950  R1 2022 R3 2222
JAPAN:        Buy 112,222 OB

NOTE: March 18-25 I will be cruising the Caribbean. Therefore both market updates and the next issue of WSNW will not be on our usual schedule. While not trading, we plan to be long Tax season positional trades. THE NEXT WSNW will be sent Sunday March 25 or Monday March 26.

2. Last week, when Nokia (NOK) reached its value pricing of 22, we upgraded it from “Sell” to market perform. Similarly, American Express was upgraded Friday at 39 from “Sell” to market perform.  The new bankruptcy law will negate a much of the economic slowdown for them.  Astrologically, its horoscope is a mild positive for 2001.

Japan is FINALLY dealing with its bank problems.  Another piece of good news (short term pain, long term gain) is the accounting change starting in April with banks pricing their security holdings at stock market value instead of book value.  This could provide another opportunity to buy Japan. Look to exporters such as Sony (SNE) and Matsushita (MC) that will benefit from any continued decline in the Yen- further weakness = more profit; further strength = higher price in US$. Very soon global portfolio managers will no longer BUY ASIA, WITHOUT JAPAN, but BUY JAPAN without CHINA!

3. Cuba’s chief economic planner says his country wants to trade with the United States but insisted the Communist nation won't buy a single aspirin until all U.S. sanctions are lifted unconditionally. "If the blockade is lifted, yes, we will buy. Not only aspirin, but many other products." Vice President Carlos Lage told The Associated Press. But Cuba will buy nothing, said Lage, under the current "humiliating conditions."  Does not Carlos know Bayer is a German company?  Until more geographically sophisticated, we recommend American investors avoid this island paradise.

Tashi Journal: Taiwan's Betel Nut Habit and Voyeurism Merge.
While Internet sex sales are down, Taiwan, with its old fashioned morality, realizes the economic value of scantily-clad young women. No wonder their stock market has done well in 2001 to date and is performing the best of the three Chinese markets. However, with mainland China’s economy on the potential brink of a 1929 meltdown, we advise avoiding all Confucian sizzle for a while.

4. LAST CHANCE for new, current and former WSNW subscribers to save BIG MONEY!
The cost of “market insurance”, i.e., Silver subscriptions to WALL STREET, NEXT WEEK, will be increasing 20% to $360 annually.  Current and prospective subscribers can lock in the old rate of $300 for one year or save 44% by paying $500 for two years until International Astrology Day (March 20, 2001).

5. "We just don't have anything to look forward to. The interest rate cut we'll get later this month has already been factored into stock prices. The tax bill will probably get hung up in the Senate. And this bad earnings news keeps coming."
Bill Barker, investment consultant Dain Rauscher
HW: How about the fact there is more and more VALUE to be found?

“I don't think you're going to be presented with too many better opportunities than you are right now [for a long-term investor]. People are frankly under-invested in the market.''
Edward Hemmelgarn, president. Shaker Investments
HW: I agree.

6. HI-TECHNOLOGY SPRING/SUMMER 2001.

FT.com | | Stars chart the stock market.
                                                                                              
HW: It is only astronomy, but a beginning.

Send in the Bears
.                 

7.  READER: Looks like your buy signal was a bit premature.  What are your feelings now? 
HW:  Buy.

READER: You mention May time frame to be LOW Nasdaq. You also mention that August might be the Worst lows Is it reasonable to say that there might be a slight mild rally after the May low and if so up to where?? or is it going to bob around these lows all up to August and then go even further down?
HW:  It was our initial view that May would be the year low after a pre-tax rally.  August with its Saturn-Pluto aspect was always “dangerous”.  When I come back from my vacation, the markets should have told us whether March, May or August will be the low.  

READER: On Japanese markets - you are dead right. Right time to buy blue chips in Tokyo - SONY, NKK, MATASUSHITA etc.
HW: It makes cosmic sense to me.

READER: As usual your views are very interesting… I fully agree with your views on NASDAQ. It should 1950. Elliots Wave theory suggests a bottom on 1492 (1500) by May'2001, if it cannot find a solid support at this level of 1950…. There will be a few "Chapter 11" applications worldwide, believe me. The possibility of this crash happening is very high as per EW Theory.
HW: This seems like an over reaction to neutral to –2%/5% growth.  However, it is possible, if not probable.

READER: You predicted that we would have a rally in March that would last until early April. Monday will already be March 12th and NASDAQ has continued its dive. The 50 basis pt drop in rates has already been factored in, and, a future tax cut probably has been too. What could make the market turn at this point... a wicked 1 day drop/reversal? Maybe that would be the capitulation (by small investors) we've been waiting for. Otherwise, I'm afraid that we could get nickeled and dimed to death all the way down to NAZ 1000. What do you think at this point?
HW: Before 1000, you have to reach 1800 and 1500.  Friday could have been a bottom. While we are no longer buying, neither are we selling ahead of several positive short term influences coming up in one to three weeks.  Thereafter, all bets are off.

READER: What I see .....and this is strictly technical  this market will recover maybe in the next 36 months ...not before, the sooner we hit bottom the better off we are.  I see Nasdaq at 1620 to 1700 strong support and Dow 7400 to 8100 strong support ....those levels have to be tested in order to build a REALLY strong and TRUSTABLE market.
HW: Our DJIA numbers are higher-8800, but in Nasdaq they have been wrong.  Friday’s 1877 bottom was already too low for my taste.  I do agree that it is better to have the pain sooner, rather than later.

READER: As you have pointed out Saturn in Taurus (Taurus ruler of cattle) has been brutal to animals with the mad cow and hoof and mouth disease manifesting under this transit. It would also appear that today's Mercury-Saturn square this afternoon manifested as the 3:00 p.m. EST announcement that the US is banning all animal and animal products from the EU.  Probably why the Euro is lower today.
HW: As Saturn’s move back to Gemini April 20, the astrological cause of  this current scare should be over!  Of course the non-astrological elements, such as GM foods unfortunately remain.

READER: Basically I agree with you, especially about the next big low into May. Interesting you were right about Austria, however, I still don't buy or recommend our stocks ;-)
HW: It is no longer the bargain it once was.  However, over the intermediate term, it will do better than you think.

READER: The market is too crazy - I do better at the casino.
HW: Whatever works for you.
