2008 ASTROLOGY
The low point of the nodal [economy] cycle is reached in 2008. Pluto ingresses into Capricorn, has one Total Lunar Eclipse February 21 and a Total Solar Eclipse over China and Russia. 8/1/2008.  
This is also the time that the US baby boomers start to retire in mass, taking more money out of the market. Couple that with a practically non-existent US savings and some will argue that is it is a good thing that the US is now on sale! 

7 economic warning signs for 2008
The good news includes: Cheap money, stock buy backs, and a Cheap Dollar which is good for certain stocks and encourages foreign buying and China (see below). 

OUR ADVICE: Sell before Thursday any stock holdings you don’t want to own in January 2008.

BUY when the price is right. Also buy tax loss selling, but in stages, not all at once.  I never thought Nova Gold (NG) could sell for less than $9, but when it did, WSNW readers were there!
Remember: Just as investors overpay for stocks, they also oversell.  Make sure you have enough cash for a forthcoming market debacle whether or not it happens as early as 2008.
The optimists are calling for a “mild” US recession.  These same optimists called for no housing crisis in 2007. 

THE US IS FOR SALE AND CHINA IS BUYING! Bank QDIIs approved to invest in UK stocks, funds
If/ when China allows its banks and then its citizens to invest directly in the US and UK stock markets, one cannot help but be bullish as markets are fundamentally a Supply and Demand mechanism.  Front running this news, is potentially the major bullish factor in the 2008/2009 stock market that I foresee, assuming that it is not derailed by the August 1 2008 eclipse. Check out Shanghai Stock Exchange P/E multiples and it is 2001 all over again. Couple that with the fact that US is now for sale, more US Dollar devaluation, and we could easily exceed Dow 18000. Of course it most likely would be followed by one hell of a crash that would make October 19, 1987 seem like child’s play.

TRADERS: YEAR END BONUS GAMES.  TAKE THE WEEK OFF OR DAY TRADE ONLY 

INVESTORS: My long term view is well known: focus on protecting against downside risk. 

 
KEY DATES:     December 27, January 2
DJIA:                13400 PIVOT
SPX:                 S1 1470 S2 1420 S3 1410  R1 1485 R2 1495 R3 1520
NASDAQ:          2700 PIVOT
XAU:                 168 PIVOT SUPPORT 160  R1 175 R2 178  R3 188 R4 195
FEB GOLD:       --> 859 

Market Marker Sentiment is:  TOO MUCH COMPLACENCY STILL- ONLY SANE RESPONSE IS TO OWN GOLD
DON’T BUY AND HOLD: BE LIQUID WITH A BALANCED AND DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIO!
2006 CLOSE:           DJIA 12463, SPX 1418 & NASDAQ 2415
2005 CLOSE:           DJIA 10717, SPX 1248 & NASDAQ 2205
DIJA:                      0 ~ FV 0 UV; 2 offer 4%+ Dividends 2 offer 5%+ Dividends.
Looking ahead, my question is whether 2008 will show less than 2% growth or be a classical recession?  
THINK SWISS AND PRESERVE CAPITAL: FOCUS ON PROTECTING AGAINST DOWNSIDE RISK. 

2. 12 Stocks to Buy on a Pullback

Please remember the operative words are “ON A PULLBACK”!

It is my fundamental view that given uncertain markets, Stock selection will be key in 2008.  For example, note the performance differences between the following two retailers.
Circuit City (CC) [Circuit City stock plunges as losses widen]  vs. Saks [SKS] [Planeloads of 'rich' foreigners flock to U.S. retailers]

3. NEXT STOP FOR GOLD: $700 OR $900 TEST?
Our bet remains that the gold will reach its all time high by or before our Winter Triple Gold Conference. 

WSNW readers are advised to periodically review our premium S:2008 Mining post. 

4. Taj Mahal Won't Accept Bush Dollars as Indians Fret Americans Losing Value

Fatwa against the dollar? 

It seems to me that ‘GOLD IS THE ANSWER” for wealth preservation.  Another is to diversify US stock holdings to 50% of one’s portfolio.
PS October 19, 1987 was largely a US Dollar Crisis.  Will history repeat itself? 

5 "While an economic slowdown could impact the growth, demand for water companies will never go to zero, and should continue to enjoy success when others are faltering."
Neil D. Berlant, portfolio manager, PFW Water Fund
HW: Water Water everywhere, but not a drop to drink?  Water like Gold and Oil is a key commodity asset class. 

“The economy is inching closer to the tipping point, with the credit-market turmoil and housing-market recession, the risks are very grave that this weakness will spread.''
Chris Rupkey, senior financial economist, Bank of Tokyo- Mitsubishi UFJ

HW: Step by step come to me said the Spider to the Fly! 

"We will avoid a big recession from the U.S. and it won't go so negatively. We continue with a positive view going into the new year."
Philippe Gijsels, senior equity strategist, Fortis Global Markets
HW: Yes mustn’t let any reality interfere with our Christmas bonus, must we?  A little recession that is ok eh? 

6. Tech, health-care and industrials stocks to watch in 2008 

Bet on dividend-paying stocks 

Stock market 'winter' is moving in
Where in the world can you safely put your money? Not in equities, two top investors warn.

7.   READER: Thank you for the alert on Nova:

12/18 NOVA GOLD ALERT:
CURRENTLY UNDER $6. 25.THIS COULD BE 50-100% INCREASE IN 60-90 DAYS ON TRUE VALUATION!
WE THINK A SUPER STEAL HERE.  WE HAVE BOUGHT HIGHER AND RECOMMEND BUYING HERE IF APPROPRIATE FOR YOUR PORTFOLIO.
HW: Trading note: NG closed $6.08 low of day $5.87.  Friday close $8.05. 

Reader: I would say GREAT CALL on Nova gold but it is a FANTASTIC CALL. I Sold out my position that I purchased yesterday after your alert for a quick and very profitable scalp trade. 
Nova is at $7.00+ at this time. What is your upside target?
HW:  $12-$18 in 2008 and $9-11 by February 1. 

READER: You say Gold should be accumulated the rest of 2007.You probably mean Gold will rise from early January and finish before February going to 850-900?
HW: We are continuing to buy gold and gold stocks until January 31. At our Winter Gold Conference February 1 at the Princeton Club we will disclose what we recommend next. 

READER: Do you think interest rates will go bonkers?
HW:  I believe the rate curve will steepen with short term rates lower : while long term rates higher
