WALL STREET, NEXT WEEK: FEBRUARY 21
FINANCIAL ASTROLOGY FOR THE SUCCESSFUL INVESTOR AND TRADER

1. We remain uncomfortable with the current stock market risk levels. Outside of possibly accumulating more gold and alternative energy shares, we are in a do nothing investing mode for the remainder of February.

Many believe that the Fed will continue lifting the federal-funds rate until at least 3.75 percent, putting it within the "neutral" range that neither stimulates nor inhibits economic growth. On March 22, the Fed should go to 2.75%, with the April 8 Solar Eclipse within activation.  This is the time period when we expect to see long bond act the way most analysts expected long ago. If so, the fall out in the real estate and stock market should be interesting.

TRADERS:      We will be selling/shorting more than buying as long as Dow 10850, SPX 1216 and NASDAQ 2190 essentially 2005 hold as a 2005 market top.

INVESTORS:      We still remain patient and in a globally opportunistic mode.
 
KEYDATES:    February 23
DJIA:               10784 PIVOT
SPX:                1200 PIVOT   
NASDAQ:       2061 PIVOT
XAU:               95 PIVOT 100 R1 105 R2 113 R3

Market Marker Sentiment: First Bullish, then Bearish.
DON’T BUY AND HOLD: BE LIQUID WITH A BALANCED AND DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIO!
2004 CLOSE:             DJIA 10784, SPX 1211 & NASDAQ 2175
DIJA:         1 ~ FV 0 UV; 5 offer 4%+ Dividends.
While the internal Stock Market astrology is mixed, the external risk potential is high

2. "The 'InvestWrite' competition challenges students to apply critical thinking skills to real-world savings and investment situations," said Dr. Lisa A. Donnini, director of education for The Stock Market Game Program.
HW: I believe the following top three winners’ picks of the 2nd "InvestWrite" stock market student essay competition are as good as any Wall Street analyst:

Grades 4-5 Division: Luke Massaro, Shore Road Intermediate, Bellmore, N.Y., whose love of his grandmother's homemade cheesecake, with a main ingredient of Philadelphia Cream Cheese, led to an understanding of Kraft's many popular brands. "There are a few reasons why I would buy stock in Kraft Foods. One reason is that Kraft owns a variety of products that are favorites to many people, including me."
 
Grades 6-8 Division: James Newby, St. Patrick School, Dallas, Texas, researched a nanotechnology stock, Altair, as the ideal candidate for a long-term investment holding: "Nanotechnology, in general, is a fairly new field of engineering. It has begun a scientific revolution that will impact the entire world and bolster our understanding on the fundamentals of nature. Once nanotechnology becomes a more mature industry, companies such as Altair will no doubt grow radically in size and profits."
 
Grades 9-12 Division: Andrew Basham, Brunswick School, Greenwich, Conn., considered how Lockheed Martin Corporation, a domestic industry leader in homeland security, would benefit from the new emphasis on updating the post-Cold War military. "With a leadership role in the industry not easily affected by the woes of the domestic economy, Lockheed is capitalizing on increased government spending on the twenty-first century technologies."
 
3. Over the last six months, at least 135 people have been gunned down in drug-related mob killings in Naples. In one incident, men dressed in police uniforms stopped three gang members, tied their hands behind their backs and shot them execution-style. In another, a woman was shot point-blank and her body stuffed in the trunk of a car that was then set on fire. The source of the bloodshed is the "camorra," the Neapolitan version of the Mafia. "The problem is the skyrocketing increase in income," said Amato Lamberti, a sociology professor at the University of Naples. "Construction, banking, transportation, retail sales -- the camorra is in all of them.”

It has been sometime since we have looked to Italy to invest. Clearly, the MIBTEL Index is pricey above 24,500.  Perhaps upon a retest of 20,000 as was the case twice in 2004; it is worth a serious look.  But buy what? Alitalia? No. Fiat? No.  Parmalat? No.  There is Luxottica (LUX), which is in one of our favored sectors of healthcare products and services.  Additionally, we might research the Camorra favored sector list of construction and banking by watching the ADRS of Italcementi (ITALY) and Sanaolo IMI (IMI).

4. "It does appear that Mr. Greenspan thinks long rates should be higher than they currently are. And that is a warning to bond investors."
Joel Naroff, president, Naroff Economic Advisors
HW: Yes, beware in March as rates hit our magic 2.75 number.

“We expect consumer spending to expand this year at about the same rate as last year.''
Robert Mellman, economist, J.P. Morgan Securities
HW: We don’t

“The economy is clearly not as strong as it was last year. You need faster profits growth for the market to go much higher.''
Pascal Lebois, manager, U.S. equities fund ING Luxembourg SA
HW: So that would imply that markets are near their top. We agree.

5. Dread the Spread

The Gold Bottom is in

6. READER: I haven't heard you talk about UAMA lately, have you changed your opinion on it?
HW:  VOIP is one of our favorite 2005 sectors. I believe UAMA’s teliphone product is very good and recommend its use, but their marketing is sorely lacking. They are not taking advantage of their technical lead as much as we had first anticipated (and expected to help with). They seem to be doing well enough locally, but my interest in this microcap was for a possible home run, which seems increasingly less likely.  As we parted ways with management in not the friendliest of terms, we cannot be objective.  That being said, unless there is a fundamental change, I am personally recommending selling/stopping on any upcoming good news rally. Should that not occur within 2-4 months, I would probably just exit and try greener VOIP pastures elsewhere.

HERE WE TALK ABOUT AFUND CLIENTS
READER: where does this [TNXT] stop? It looks real good [technically].
HW: I don’t know, but its horoscope is excellent for February. I would wait until the end of the month and then recheck the charts.
.31, .38 and .50 are likely R1, R2 and R3 short term. However, longer term, the fundamental potential seems far higher.

READER: Why are you saying in your newsletter that February 13, 2004 at 2:25PM is the horoscope date for TNXT when its website reference shows February 17, 2004 as the reincorporation date?
HW: My source is a photocopy of the Delaware sealed articles of incorporation.

READER: If they [IHI] lost the case against the GE re the Robotics- could it bankrupt them or is this nonsense?
HW: This is utter nonsense.  First of all, IHI is very likely to win this case. But whether just for costs plus, or  if proper damages will be awarded, I don’t know.  However, a settlement payment is probably years off.  If they didn't win, that is NOT what IHI is basing their future on, but it could be nice icing on the cake for long term IHI shareholders.
