7. AFUND LETTERS

1. “Intermediate Term, the 2004 US Presidential election is only One of Seven Market-Driving Forces in 2005. The others are Terrorism, Iraq, Oil, Valuation, Interest Rates and the Economy. Just as Democrats and Republicans were roughly and highly evenly divided, so are market Bears and Bulls today. The former see the cup as half full with continued worries about the three "I"s: Iraq, Interest Rates and Inflation that will result in further economic slowdown and reduced corporate profits overall in 2005. The latter, while acknowledging that there are many dangerous and difficult challenges ahead, view the post October 25 markets not as a bear market rally, but as the beginning or continuation of filling up a half empty economic cup.  The two sharply different worldviews are likely to continue to clash in 2005. In such a market, it is not so macro economic views but the quality of individual companies and the individual prospects that should determine most stock buying in 2005. Furthermore, active trading and/or frequent profit taking is required in order to sustain portfolio growth…”

GUEST HYDE PARK SOAPBOX: GMI's World Poll 

"GMI's World Poll indicates the rest of the world views America's Iraqi intervention as arrogant and selfish," said Princeton University Professor Douglas S. Massey. "Because of their frustration, U.S. unilateral action will not only isolate it politically, but economically too, depressing worldwide demand for American products and services." Key findings include: 20% of foreigners are less willing to buy American-made products until the U.S. alters its foreign policies and 67% of foreigners believe U.S. foreign policy is guided by “self interests" and "empire building".
 
A direct correlation exists between how closely foreigners associate companies with the U.S. and the likelihood they'll avoid purchasing their brands. For example: 43% of foreigners won't purchase Marlboro cigarettes and 33% will avoid the Barbie doll. "A decrease in purchasing is more likely if products are closely associated with America and there's a good non-American made substitute," commented Dr. Mitchell Eggers, COO at GMI. American companies such as McDonald's [MCD] and American Airlines [AA] are therefore likely to see decreased international sales.

TRADERS: A Day Trading Week.
INVESTORS: Markets will have peaked ahead of Friday’s Full Moon for the month, or will be moving towards SPX 1200-1250.  A hedged long/short portfolio will modestly make money in either case.


KEYDATES:    NOVEMBER 8, 10, 12
DJIA:               10,400 PIVOT
SPX:                1168 PIVOT

SIDEWAYS Market Marker Sentiment: Initial Worry, then Rally, ending Flat.
DON’T BUY AND HOLD: BE LIQUID WITH A BALANCED AND DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIO!
12/31/2003 EOD:    DJIA 10453   NASDAQ 2003 SPX 1111.
October Lows:         DJIA   9660,  SPX  1090 & NASDAQ  1899
FAIR VALUE:        DJIA <9660,  SPX<1090 & NASDAQ<1899, GOLD = 440
DIJA:                      3 ~ FV 0 UV; 4 offer 4%+ Dividends.
While the internal Stock Market astrology, as in 2003, is mixed, the external risk potential is still high.

2. AFUND INVESTOR POST ELECTION ADVICE:
SHOULD BUSH WIN:  SELL ANY RALLY AND THE US DOLLAR; BUY GOLD AND CANADA.

The US Dollar is at record lows, while gold is trading at its highest level since August 1988, when it reached US$449.  While periodic profit taking is always prudent, at the moment, the trend continues to be our friend.
 
As gold WSNW subscribers know, we have been playing Google (GOOG), as our favorite short much like we did Yahoo in the past. After two false starts (similar to our previous Yahoo plays), our latest sell at 199 did quite well last week after Google shares had their largest ever single-day decline after UBS analyst Benjamin Schachter recommended clients reduce their holdings. Shares fell 8.3%, or $15.35, to $169.35. Will it go below 108 as previously forecast for November?
 AFUND FORECAST 1: In November, GOOG will be trading below Friday’s close of 108.
 AFUND FORECAST 2: GOOG will trade below its offering price of 85 in 2005.

While it doesn’t seem likely, it is still possible.  Whether on target or not, we expect to bring home the bacon on this one.

3. Spam offering cheap Rolex watches has reportedly topped the list of the most frequently sent messages over the last couple of weeks. Rolex has replaced Viagra as the most common word in spam. The official manufacturer of Rolex has said that the watches are not sold by mail order, only through authorized dealers.  We see two trends here.  First, there continues to be no rush to buy Dow Drug stocks Pfizer [PFE] and Merck [MRK] until the class lawyers are foaming at the mouth or MRK is under 25 and PFE below 26, whichever comes first.  Second, it may pay to check out fashion and luxury watch manufacturers that may benefit from Jupiter’s recent move into Libra such as Swatch [SWGNF] and Bulgari (BULIF).

4. "The real issue for investors is whether the economy slows significantly next year, and how fast corporate profits grow."
FT Lex Column
HW: After the election euphoria is over, that is one of the major stock market determinants.

“Rather than looking for entry points, investors should be looking for exit point right now.
Michael Painchaud, research director, Market Profile Theorems
HW: That is the big question whether short term markets will peak under Dow 10500, or whether they will go to 10700 or even higher. Personally,  I see the cup as half empty and not half full.

“It's difficult to see where pressure can be brought to bear on the president to narrow the budget deficit.''
Steve Pearson, head of currency strategy, HBOS Plc
HW: That is why all of uss Dollar bears are growling.
 
5. Bush Win Seen As Boon to Many Industries

Voting Over, but Market Pressures Remain
“The same fundamental issues that have been pressuring the market will remain into President Bush's second term, analysts warn. A record budget deficit makes further tax incentives for consumers unlikely, an enormous trade deficit is pressuring the U.S. dollar and energy prices remain at uncomfortably high levels. Terrorism is still a concern, corporate earnings are decelerating and interest rates are on the rise, with another hike expected when the Federal Reserve meets Wednesday.”

Greenspan: Playing the Fool Or the Scoundrel?

6. READER: RE: condolences to all Americans re: the election
HW:  Today we have been selling the US dollar and buying gold which is going first to $450 and then $500 in 2005/2006. 

READER: Gold up again and this assures that US dollar going down more.
HW: Yes, sad isn’t it?

READER: Thought you might like to know:  Pfizer is spelled Pfizer.
HW: Yes. Thank you. Obviously my Pfeizer came from its symbol PFE.

7. HERE WE TALK ABOUT AFUND CLIENTS: HESG, IHITF and UAMA.

READER: See the stock [UAMA] is going up!  Good for you!
HW: Good for UAMA shareholders!

READER: I intend to buy UAMA as fast as you have done an astrological analysis. Is it recommended to set a stop loss in such a company? Let say you by it on 0.18 cent. If you set a stop loss by 0.16 such a small company can very well several times go down to 0.15-0.16.You will get heavy losses. Have you said anything on entry, target etc on HESG? Astrology? Stop loss?
HW: As for UAMA, stop losses have to be 50% since it trades under $.25 (currently) and one is buying this stock for at least a double. I think you could have a starter position ahead of the analysis, but the analysis is key for me whether to sell if/when it doubles/triples or to add!

We believe Health Sciences [HESG] has an extremely powerful “January effect” move ahead.  HESG is a trading buy under .70 to $1-1.10.  It is an investing buy under .85 to ?. As for stops, this depends on whether you are a trader or investor. Microcap stops are bigger than on larger stocks (8-20%) due to their volatility and potential profit.  I would say 10-20% for trading purposes and 25-40% for investment purposes, depending on what price target you are holding your investment for.

READER: Not looking good for the home team [IHI].
HW: One would have to say almost all the risk is NOW gone from the stock.  It is a good thing that it acts like a non-expiring option!

Reader: Which horoscope charts are you looking at when you mentioned the Thanksgiving time period below?
“Please note, astrologically speaking, the time period just before and after Thanksgiving, is another BIG cosmic opportunity for Roger and IHI.”
HW: Roger’s.
