About Our Newsletter
Weekly Market Strategies is a weekly on-line market letter commenting on the economy, economic indicators and the fundamental and technical aspects of the stock market.
Technical indicators and cycles are used to analyze the stock market and to predict the expected direction of the market during the next week and also the next few weeks and months.
We accurately predicted weeks in advance the October 2007 top and warned our subscribers about the coming sell-off. We recommended the purchase of put options to protect one’s portfolio. We also accurately predicted months in advance that the market would bottom late February/early March 2009 (actual date was March 9).
We also predicted in advance most of the tops and bottoms in the market during the past two years. Our past predictions can be found in our past news letters located in the past news letter file.

HITK- Hi-Tech Pharmacal- 21.53- a generic drug manufacturer. We were stopped out of this one recently but it now forming a base in the area of good support. Is only selling at around 10x earnings and is growing rapidly so has nice upside potential. Place a stop at 18. Is very thin so is very volatile.
LEI- Lucas Energy*- $ 0.58 – a small independent oil producer. We recently took half profits at 0.75. We will now add a half position at the current level. Production is increasing nicely. Place a stop at 0.47.

FUNDAMENTAL NEWS
Following three decisive down weeks of destruction, totaling 895 Dow and 106 S&P 500 points, a modest retracement occurred last week making an attempt to penetrate the January lows. The Dow made back 264 points or 27% of the loss while the S&P 500 regained 106 points or 9.2%.
Basic Materials led all ten Dow Industrial Groups rallying 3.21%; followed by Consumer Goods up 2% and Technology plus 1.87%; Oil and Gas rose 1.70% reversing a poor performance last week. Then with smaller gains Consumer Services gained 1.61% followed by Industrials up 1.38% and then Health Care up 0.42% and Telecommunications + 0.14%. The remaining two groups were lower; Financials fell 0.05% and Utilities, beleaguered by weather were worst shedding 0.59%. The Russell 2000 outperformed all indexes gaining 2.99%.
The dollar continued to be the main source of influence as the potential aid package for Greece helped prop up the markets and depress the greenback. The Euro seems tentative, looking distressed from reports from Germany, that Europe’s leader had a meager 4th Qtr GDP growth of just 0.1%. This could keep a floor under the dollar and a lid on equities if Europe continues to have bad news on the economic front. Also underpinning the greenback was Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke’s testimony for unwinding the emergency lending programs that infused liquidity into the banking system to prevent a further recession if not a depression. He suggested the likelihood of an increased discount rate “ before long.”
Markets are closed around the world on Monday as in addition to our President’s Day, the Lunar New Year festivities begin in Asia and China, Taiwan and Korea. Carnival will be celebrated in Latin America. Dozens of markets will be closed Monday and many all week long. Trading from overseas should be subdued. However, much action should be forthcoming from here as a multitude of Earnings Reports are to be forthcoming including: Abercrombie, Analog Devices, Apache, Barrick Gold, Dell, First Solar, Hewlett Packard, Intuit, Kraft, Las Vegas Sands, Merck and WalMart and will probably dominate the news.

Model Portfolio Comments/Changes
We were stopped out of our HITK position. The stock is very thin so very volatile. We believe the stock is very cheap and will look to re-enter our position.
