WALL STREET, NEXT WEEK: JANUARY 28, 2008
FINANCIAL ASTROLOGY FOR THE SUCCESSFUL INVESTOR AND TRADER
 


1. FEBRUARY MARKETS
2. UP STARS/DOWN STARS
3. GOLDEN OPPORTUNITIES
4. QUOTES
5. ON THE WEB
6. LETTERS

 
1 TWO BELIEFS

               I.      Markets will be higher by the Chinese New Year (February 7).

             II.      Gold will be UP January 30 and 31. 

Two obvious questions are: 1) How high is UP and 2) How to play? 

Last week US markets were technically very oversold and ready to rally, even without the Ben surprise. I expect at least 1000 Dow point profits on our last buys under Dow 10750. Not until markets are 12650-13150 OCO February 7 will I look to lock profits.
Regardless of whether Ben moves again or not and the markets first reaction, we are currently planning to BUY MORE next week for a (pre) Chinese New Year rally. 

Additionally, precious metal shares are undervalued vs. gold and silver. I recommend buying again early in the week. Depending on how high gold is up January 31, begin to lock in and/or take some short term TRADING profits by Friday.  This does NOT apply to investing and hedging PM allocation, only short term trades as there is likely to be some gold selling and profit taking at record prices.

Please remember our advice last week: Be Careful Buying. 

ASTRODATES

2/7 Chinese New Year: The Earth Rat

TRADERS: We are buying gold and gold shares early in the week for a projected 1/30 & 1/31 aka Ben rally.  We are also doing strategic market trading buys this week for the Chinese New Year. 

INVESTORS: My long term view is well known: focus on protecting against downside risk. However, since early last week, we are short term bullish. 

KEY DATES:     January 28, 30, 31
DJIA:                12250 PIVOT 12,000 SUPPORT   S1 12500 S2 12750 S3 13000 S4 13189
SPX:                 1325 PIVOT
NASDAQ:          2331 PIVOT 2225 SUPPORT  2475 RESISTANCE?
XAU                  175 PIVOT 200 RESISTANCE
FEB GOLD:       888 PIVOT  930, 950 OR 1000 RESISTANCE? 

Market Marker Sentiment is:  TOO MUCH COMPLACENCY STILL-ONLY SANE RESPONSE IS TO OWN GOLD. NEXT MARKET MARKER DAY IS FEBRUARY 5.
DON’T BUY AND HOLD:
BE LIQUID WITH A BALANCED AND DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIO!
2007 CLOSE:           DJIA 13264, SPX 1468 & NASDAQ 2655
2006 CLOSE:           DJIA 12463, SPX 1418 & NASDAQ 2415
2005 CLOSE:           DJIA 10717, SPX 1248 & NASDAQ 2205
DIJA:                       2 ~ FV 0 UV; 4 offer 4%+ Dividends 1 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. We recommend WSNW readers periodically review the 20 companies in the MWM ETN ELEMENTS Morningstar Wide Moat Focus ETN. Some of them are worth researching as longer term investing buys.

The MWM ETN seeks to replicate, net of expense, the Morningstar Wide Moat Focus Total Return Index. The index contains companies that have sustainable competitive advantages and that trade at discounts or Morningstar’s determination of their fair value. It contains approximately 20 companies. 

3. We fully expect a BEN GOLD rally.  We are recommending BUYING ahead of time.
I believe that buying Monday and/or Tuesday two of our undervalued clients: Nova Gold (NG) and Piedmont (PIED) will be very profitable trades and/or longer term investments.

Current Probability of gold breaking its all time this week: 88%.
Current Probability of $ 930 Gold by/before Feb. 1:  88%. 
Current Probability of $ 950 Gold by/before Feb. 1:  50%.
Current Probability of $1000 Gold by/before Feb. 1: 31%.  

4. “What Mr. Bernanke did was panic and cut rates in front of the opening, and never let the markets cleanse themselves on the downside. All the Fed is doing is putting off the inevitable. As sure as night follows day we are going to have a recession, and the longer they massage it and keep it from happening, the worse it will be."
Jeffrey Saut, chief investment strategist, Raymond James
HW: I AGREE 100%!

“We're in the bottoming process and that's not a quiet, soft or demure thing. It's violent, nasty and you have wild moves as stocks are under ferocious liquidation pressures.''
Brian Barish, president, Cambiar Investors
HW: Short term I agree with you.

"It's a sad testament to think the Fed has to cut interest rates eight days in front of a meeting to salvage the equity markets. The U.S. economy is in a rather sad state of affairs in that it depends on housing and stock prices to keep going."'
Bill Gross, chief investment officer, Pacific Investment Management Co
HW: Sad, but true. 

5. A market of two minds: The pessimist 

A market of two minds: The optimist

6.  READER: Great Call on GOLD! Really wonderful performance! In your latest WSNW, you write:
"That being said both gold and silver have a good month and you most definitely want to be profit from the Ben Gold rally January 30-January 31."
"ASTROLOGICALLY  Gold has extremely positive astro the very end of January"

Do you mean that Gold will move up again to higher/highest level at the end of January (30/31 Jan 2008)?
HW: It means I will be trading LONG gold and gold shares by the 1/29 or 30th.  Some risk to the downside on 1/28 [gold options expiration], but a fair amount of upward potential as well. 

READER: Three and a quarter, have you ever seen such a thing by the Fed?
I remember reading your forecast on different countries in Q1.  But I can't locate it anymore.  Could you send it to me?   Thanks!
HW:  Yes, sad that Ben panicked.  Our global reports are now only provided to platinum and diamond clients.
 

READER: Is the dollar/gold relationship independent of the Dow?  Can gold & the Dow both rise?
HW: Yes AND No.  At times, the dollar/gold relationship is independent and at other times, not.  Yes both gold and the Dow can rise- think inflation!
