At the bell yesterday, the DJIA (+49.91 +0.44% to 11496.57) was up and the NASDAQ Composite (-29.52 -1.28% to 2282.78) was down, while the S&P 500 (+0.36 +0.03% to 1260.68) was flat. The difference was the last 30 minute strength in the oils, led by Exxon (XOM and CVX), which I believe was related to the options expiry. That in itself was enough to power the DJIA by +60 points in the final minutes, which made the markets generally appear stronger than they are.

Toronto Composite closed up +55.7 +0.41% to 13516, but as the afternoon dragged on, the TSX faded.

The winning sectors in NY were Consumer Discretionary (XLY +3.1%) ex the Retailers ($RLX which dropped -1.0% on the day). The Financials (XLF +2.0%) were strong too, especially Citigroup (C +7.7% as it reported a massive loss that apparently exceeded expectations), but all the action in the Financials was near the opening bell. Energy (XLE +1.8%) gained on the session, particularly in the Oil Services industry ($OSX +2.5%).

For the Retailers, a couple Cara 100 company stocks did well (KSS +0.6% and WMT +0.4%), but many retailers got hit, such as Rite-Aid (RAD -10.3%), Whole Foods Market (WFMI -5.1%), Safeway (SWY -4.3%) and Amazon (AMZN -4.2%).

The winning Cara 100 stocks were IBKR +5.0%, BBD +3.6%, IBN +3.4%, and IBM +2.7%, which I gave you off the top of the day.

The losers were GOOG -9.8% (a good put write as even Mr Platinum was doing that at the end of the day as I sat at his table at Hy’s), WFMI -5.1%, VCP -4.3%, and GRMN -3.4%.

The US long bond ($USB -0.27%) closed down to 114.33. Three days ago $USB closed at 116.88. Inflation data has taken its toll this week. On the day, the bond yields closed higher across the 30-, 10-, and 5-year Treasuries and T-Bills at 4.662, 4.081, 3.397 and 1.420 respectively.

Equity markets in Europe gained strength during the afternoon session, closing up between +1.7% and +1.8% in UK, France and Germany. Traders there were continuing to support the banks.

The $USD and Euro were completely flat, but the Yen (-0.49%) and Pound (-0.18%) lost ground on the day.

At 2:30pm, Crude Oil futures closed at 127.47, down -$0.71/bbl.

$GOLD dropped -$12.70/oz to 958.00. At the close, the spot prices for precious metal prices for gold, palladium, platinum and silver (compared to the morning prices at the start of each of the past four days) reflected ongoing weakness: 954.3 (957.05, 959.65, 970.81, 984.43); 412 (418, 424, 432, 447); 1850 (1866, 1942, 1946, 2008); and 18.10 (18.42, 18.72, 18.74, 19.355), respectively.

Bank tightening on credit to speculators plus the higher margin requirements recently introduced at the futures exchanges has dimmed the action in the commodity markets.

The DJIA futures closed the week at 11501.

Comments & Outlook

As to witching days, the SEC might want to check the unfair advantage that Humungous Bank & Broker has over the rest of us. I suspect the SEC investigators will find some funny business going on when the US equity market closes at 4pm ET Friday, but HB&B trades in the after-market and then closes their options market at noon Saturday.

If they need some help, why not check out the XOM and CVX share prices and options trading near the close.

What a set-up for improper actions by HB&B. And you know; where there is a will (and there is!), HB&B will always find a way to screw over the client, which is why the performance of the average mutual fund, hedge fund and average institutional and retail account always trails that of the broad market indexes and the HB&B prop trading desks.

The important order of business now is for me to change the composition of the Cara 100. I will be removing a (gasp!) gold producer in exchange for a (gasp!) auto manufacturer. That’s right, cars for gold. “Kaimu” will have a heart attack.

But really, what I’m doing is some long-term planning, switching the troublesome infrastructure/divestment issues of the Republic of South Africa for the rapid growth and entrepreneurial brilliance of India. I am no longer interested in South Africa as a place to invest. So out goes Gold Fields (GFI) and in comes Tata (TTM).

As you know the Cara 100 is a list of companies that I monitor for possible trading purposes. I like their quality, ie, financial strength, superior operating metrics, sound management, macro-economic factors and the like.

I won’t go into the Tata switch too much as today is my day off (smiley goes here), but suffice it for me to say that Tata is raising eyebrows among international investors with (i) the Landrover-Jaguar deal, (ii) then the world's cheapest car, and (iii) its latest plan to introduce a car that runs on compressed air. As Tata powers forward, the Big Three of Detroit are going in reverse.

So, ta-ta everyone. Enjoy your weekend. The WIR will be done on Sunday, as usual.

btw, I am in Toronto watching the start of the 300 mile sailing race around Lake Ontario as it passes in front of my home. I'd take photos except the smog and humidity is so high, you can't see much even though the hundreds of boats are close to the shore line. You know, people complain about heat and humidity in Nassau in the summer, but it's never like this.

Hurricanes, well that's a story too. Nassau, or the entire Bahamas, even if you add up the damage of all the hurricanes in its recent history, has never experienced the fury of Hurricane Hazel on Toronto in 1954 during my youth. I remember it well. As Wiki states: "The flash flooding (8.5 inch rain) that followed destroyed 20 bridges, killed 81 people, including five firemen who died in rescue attempts, and left about 4000 families homeless. A wall of water rushing down the Humber River swept away a full block of homes on Raymore Drive, and killed 32 sleeping residents in an hour. It was the deadliest hurricane to hit Canada in recorded history, and no natural disaster since has led to such a high death toll on Canadian soil." Aunts, Uncles and cousins of mine lived a block away.

It's all part of life, and why I never get too worked up about hurricanes. Like the market, you first manage your risks and let the upside come to you. If you are smart about it, things usually work out.
