CLUES
As stock markets remain overvalued, we
continue to recommend waiting for better value pricing.
According to Dorothy Belshaw. NY
International Gift Fair director, the three key trends for winter 2010 gift market
are:
Sustainability, “timeless classics”
(traditional items with a contemporary twist) and multicultural products
(design with global influences).
Market translation: Expect outperformance
from 1) Sustainable Investments 2) Value and Dividends and 3) International
investing or export oriented

TRADERS:
10K DJIA Support testing success or failure? So far, the post January Solar eclipse
trend is your friend. After protecting old profits, reshort any rallies.
INVESTORS:
My long term view is well known. Focus on protecting against downside risk and
only buy and hold stocks with sustainable earnings at Deeply Discounted Value
pricing.
Invest
only in stocks at bargain basement prices that you are willing to hold until
2011.

TRADITIONAL SWISS AND PRESERVE CAPITAL: FOCUS ON PROTECTING AGAINST DOWNSIDE
RISK.
2. Whether 10,000 Dow support holds this week or not,
we expect it broken in Q1/April 2010.
3. GFMS
Gold-Silver-PGM forecast for 2010.
While gold may trade up or down, or both ways next week, we
are neither long term investors nor recommend strong buying at current prices.
However, we expect it to be within 30 to 45
days.
4. "We may be in
for another challenging year for equities, according to the January
barometer."
Sam Stovall, chief
investment strategist, Standard & Poor's Equity Research
HW: From a cosmic
fundamental view, that is an understatement!
“We believe recent market weakness is a buying opportunity. Both
earnings revisions and economic surprises remain positive.”
Andrew Garthwaite, analyst, Credit Suisse Group
HW: We believe there will be a far better buying opportunity early
Spring.
“People are being a little too pessimistic right now. There are
some headwinds, but companies are in pretty good shape. They did a good job
realigning their businesses to reflect the economic realities.”
Erick Maronak, manager, Victory Capital Management
HW: While I agree with the latter statement, I disagree that
people are too pessimistic- au contraire.

6. READER: Just wanted to
ask you why April 15th is important, do you have this as a cycle date when the
markets may move higher or lower from this point.
HW: I wrote: We believe it
is just a question of how low we go and when before April 15th.
I believe markets will be moving lower in
March/April. Perhaps I should have written “before April 30th.”
HW: Too
bad astrologers don’t have more (direct) influence in US elections!
READER: How do you see
current Gold correction in Q1 2010? Will it end around $1000 before rebound? or
will it just stop at $1070?
HW: It could hold (not my view), but if so, we will see it
closer to fair value (1011) then in Q2 2010.
