THE COMING XMAS RALLY
The Stock market is beginning to get ahead of itself. The Nasdaq above 1931 and the DJIA above 10,000 are viewing the economy with rose colored glasses. Current economic data will show few signs that the U.S. economy is emerging from its slump until the Spring 2002. We recommend strictly watching value. Take profits when stocks rise too much, too fast – as is likely to take place this December and even before, given the likelihood of the strong Ben Laden take out victory rally coming as well.

MSCI AND NASDAQ 100 INDEX CHANGES
November 30, 2001, the MSCI index changes; the composition of the Nasdaq 100 will change before year end. They will lighten up on technology company holdings, and SO SHOULD YOU!  “By year end, the Nasdaq 100 will reduce technology companies from 78% to 65%” said chairman Simmons. Therefore our advice is to REDUCE well before year end, given Nasdaq fine recent performance.

DECEMBER TAX SELLING
Despite record short interest on the NYSE, most fund mangers including yours truly expect an economic recovery in the second half of 2002. This will favor cyclical stocks that until recently performed badly. We intend to accumulate this sector, among others, in the Spring.  In the meantime, take advantage of any share losses this year by washing them with long term holdings that are not likely to outperform in 2002/2003.

SHORT TERM: Accumulate on Weakness/Sell on Strength.

KEYDATES:        December 27, 30
DJIA:                   10,000 Ceiling/Floor Tests
NASDAQ:           1931 R1, 2000 R2, 2055 R3
EURO                  Continue long term accumulation
OIL:                     Trading Buy

Now THERE IS LIGHT AT END OF THE TUNNEL: Saturn-Opposition Pluto ends May 2002!
INVESTORS: FALL 2002 markets will be HIGHER than today.

3. With the third and final pass the Saturn/Pluto aspects May 2002, followed by Jupiter opposition Neptune in September 2002, we expect many changes in the travel industry sector. Currently we are still under the affects of the 911 tragedies, timed to the Saturn (security) opposed by Pluto (terrorism). Early to mid 2002, these aspects will refavor long distance travel, cruise lines, hotel chains and the survivor airlines.  Until then, more travel will be local with selective regional hotels and attractions outperforming.  Outside of our favorite high yield hotel Reits MHX and FCH, we only trade travel stocks for quick profits but will NOT hold them into calendar 2002.

4.  the Heavenly Star Bra by Victoria Secrets has a price tag of £8.7 million. For that paltry sum, it has been decorated with more than 2,300 diamonds and 1,200 pink sapphires. This year's model is still £1.74m less than last year's £10.4m outfit. This PROVES the economy can remain stuck in low growth/recession until the end of the Saturn-Pluto opposition this May. So unless you are a horny teenage boy, we recommend avoiding Intimate Brands (IBI), as well as European luxury good makers, such as Italy’s Gucci (GUC) and or French LMVH until then.

Wasatch Beer is facing a boycott over an ad campaign for Polygamy Porter in Utah. Slogans for the beer read 'Why have just one?' and 'Take some home for the wives'. I think this is one perfect play for Afghanistan.  However, we don’t recommend adventure travel there as the US State Dept has just issued the following warning: “Travel in all areas of Afghanistan, including the capital Kabul and all major cities, is unsafe due to military operations, banditry and the possibility of unrest given the fluid political and military situation."  Also given landmines and acute food shortages, I believe there is a better way to take advantage of investing in Afghanistan (and the other “stans- Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan or Pakistan) - currency trading!

Currency traders normally buy Afghanis, which perversely tend to go up when governments fall. However given the value of the Afghani more than doubled the week before Thanksgiving, short term I recommend US dollars over either the Pakistani rupee or the Afghani.  Let us not ignore the wisdom of Nasruddin from Afghanistan Online:
"How old are you, Mulla? Someone asked,  'THREE YEARS OLDER THAN MY BROTHER. 'How do you know that? 'REASONING. LAST YEAR. I HEARD MY BROTHER TELL SOMEONE THAT I WAS TWO YEARS OLDER THAN HIM. A YEAR HAS PASSED. THAT MEANS THAT I AM OLDER BY ONE YEAR. I SHALL SOON BE OLD ENOUGH TO BE HIS GRANDFATHER.'
HW: I hear Nasruddin is now working for the OBM!

5.  "We think the opportunities will be better and cheaper in six months' time than they are now -- or 12 months."
Rupert Murdoch, chairman, News Corp
HW: To buy certain businesses that is true, but as for the stock market I disagree, although there will certainly be another opportunity cycle this Winter/Spring.

“I don't know how we can have really great confidence in coming weeks about how to read the incoming data or how to make forecasts.”
William Poole, President, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
HW: I do: incorporate financial astrology into your forecasting models!

6. Q: How many technical analysts does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None - the market has already discounted the change.

7. READER: A guy I work with has a very important astro turn at 10:30 eastern time today [Nov. 21] and then down into about December 3.  This is based on eastern astrology.
HW:  As traders, we are going long at DJIA 9800 and Nasdaq 1855 and plan to begin selling circa DJIA 10,000 and Nasdaq 1931. As positional investors, we plan to reaccumulate on any weakness during this next week and sell before year end.

READER: Why is the US dollar so strong today?
HW: War victory. This rally should end after our projected Ben Laden take out.

READER: When do you see CSCO at 29? Bought at 28 7/8, would you recommend selling in December rally?
HW: I already sold. If I had not, I would in this next rally.  While a great company, CSCO sports a too high P/e of infinity (no profits) for my taste. 

READER: Dec Gold near target 270.40  Dec  Silver getting close to 3.98 US$ has met target for counter trend rally.... Timing window now into Nov 26 for change in trend so we may be getting to where time and price come together for potential reversal in these markets.... Russia's token production cut makes Jan Crude target 12.32 look probable.
HW: We are bullish on gold here and disagree re: crude. As a short term trader, I would be a BIG buyer for yet another quick up move.

READER: What is your forecasted price for IHI* this time next year? Conservatively based, is 2.00 too low and is 4.00 too high? I thought we might see 5.00 but it appears I am way off.
HW: Personally, I believe that $5 is conservative. To date markets have disagreed with me. I am highly confident, however, that sooner or later, more and more people will agree with me, given how close we are to the Delta factory beginning production.  Furthermore, aggressive traders can only imagine how high the price will be after shorts (7.2 million shares?) will be forced to cover!
