Daily Report for Sat, Nov 22, 2008

In July, Google reported having over 1 trillion record locators (url’s). That’s a 1 followed by 12 zero’s, or 1 million times 1 million. It’s a lot. However, if you want to see the only person in the entire database who gave you the “Trade of the Generation”, you’ll find the answer here.

I must have a lot of readers because yesterday $GOLD (+$43.10 +5.8% to 791.80) and $XAU (+26.1% to 88.80) both soared. Either that or I must be clairvoyant.

It was just Wednesday November 12 that I gave you my Report on Goldcorp (GG). When the price was $17.75, I said we went long and with put writes our cost basis was well under $17. Seven trading sessions later, GG closed at $24.22 (+41%). The gain yesterday, after I gave you the TOG was +27.3%.

In time, people will see they are not getting this kind of advice from UBS, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch or whomever. I do it here free.

Securities industry rules state that financial advisors like me must state that past results do not guarantee… (yada yada) … but the fact is that in this blog I don’t run a portfolio; I discuss case studies with subsequent proof of concept (or otherwise) so that more people can learn to trade. At some point soon, however, I do plan to reference my actual portfolio results here – every day in a chart box that is linked to my professional site, and that’s where you will see lots of disclaimers, etc. Taking on clients quickly – I wish we could work faster, but I believe in doing it slow and right – I look forward to the ultimate challenge.

There is no question the market is a challenge. Most people have lost fortunes if they sold. If they decided to hang in, they will recover. My point to all this is that when the market was in a cycle top phase, I said “Sell” and most people thought I was nuts. When recently I said “Buy,” the same people thought I was nuts. I’m sure their financial advisors agreed. It’s why those financial advisors are not listed by Google under the category “Trade of the Generation.” You see, those people just want your money whereas I just want you to do better. I’m not one of “them” – I never will be.

Yesterday was the first day of higher volume. Not just Citigroup (C), which traded 1 billion shares, but volume was high right across the board. Markets erupted right after rumors started a few minutes before 3pm ET (with the DJIA flat on the day) that Tim Geithner, the current head of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, was President-elect Obama’s choice for Treasury Secretary.

By the end of the day, the DJIA (+494.13 +6.54% to 8046.42), S&P 500 (+47.59 +6.32% to 800.03) and NASDAQ Composite (+68.23 +5.18% to 1384.35) set records.

All sectors, all industries and 91 of the Cara 100 closed higher. There were fewer 52-week lows, and many of those had terrific last hour gains -- like Cara 100 IBM and First Solar for example. IBM hit 69.50 but closed at 74.88 (+7.75% off the low) and FSLR hit 85.28 and closed at 92.81 (+8.83% off the low).

The leading sectors were the Energy (XLE +11.2%) and Utilities (XLU +10.0%). The laggard was Healthcare (XLV +0.1%).

Already stated, the Goldminers ($XAU +26.7%) were by far the leading industry, but NatGas ($XNG +13.3%) and Big Oil ($XOI +12.4%) were also very strong. Biotech ($BTK +0.4%) and Airlines ($XAL +0.2%) were the laggards.

In Canada, the Toronto Composite jumped +430.63 +5.57% to 8155.39, while the Venture Board was up much less, +11.88 +1.72% to 703.83.

Electronic brokers had a record setting volume/transactions day.

The Cara 100 big winners were the goldminers Barrick (ABX +31.3%) and Goldcorp (GG +27.3%). Others were PDA +19.7%, KB +19.2% and BHP 18.3%. The losers were led by TGP -7.9%, and DELL -5.2%. Dell reported lower quarterly revenues than a year ago.

The US long bond ($USB) gained +0.41% to 126.30, which yields just 3.663%. As the bond market closed before equities soared, it’s quite likely that $USB reached a peak yesterday. T-Bill’s were yielding just 0.010%. That yield will likely rise on Monday as capital flows back into equities.

On the forex front, the $USD was down -0.21% to 87.80. The Euro was up +0.99% to 125.87. The Pound (+1.11% to 149.02) and the Loonie (+1.58% to 78.57) were huge winners, while the Yen (-2.20% to 104.24) was the big loser.

$WTIC (Crude Oil) lost -$0.95/bbl to 48.47, but that market will lift substantially on Monday as capital flows back into equities and commodities and out of cash and bonds.

Earlier in the day, the Asia-Pacific equity markets were higher except for the Shanghai Composite (-0.72% to 1969.4). The Japanese Nikkei (+2.70% to 7910.8), Hong Kong (+2.93% to 12659.2), Australia (+1.63% to 3386.9) and India (+5.49% to 8915.2) all traded higher. Banks and beneficiaries of higher commodities were strong.

At the close in Europe, the French CAC was down -3.33% to 2881.26; the German DAX -2.20% to 4127.41; and UK FTSE -2.52% to 3777.27. But those markets closed well before the Geithner to Treasury rumor/announcement. They should open with a flourish on Monday.

I wrote in yesterday’s Daily Report, “Yesterday in Seeking Alpha and here in the blog I gave the Trade of the Generation re sell bonds and buy gold/goldminers. Gold was 735.20 at the time, so it’s already up +33.00/oz.”

Spot gold, palladium, platinum and silver closed the week at 799.50, 182, 824, and 9.64 respectively. Gold is the best performer over the past few days.

The DJIA futures closed the week at 8034. January Crude Oil was 50.75. The Euro at 125.00 and the $USD at 87.135.

We live in interesting times. Even in The Bahamas.

Last night was the Wine Experience 2008 at the Sheraton Cable Beach and tomorrow is Jollification. Apparently there will be a bit of drinking going on there too. We had to move the Hash House Harrier run up to 11am to lead into Jollification.

The Burns House Group put on a splendid evening with orchestra, food and far too much wine, cognac and champagne to sample. Drinking and driving is legal here – probably the only country in the world where one can imbibe while driving and not be arrested. There were even police and defense force officers assisting last evening. I really don’t know how some people manage to get home from these events. I guess, being non-stop throughout the year, people here build up a resistance.

Anyway, it was rather difficult to write this report after making the rounds of 15 tables and “sampling” several from each. To thank the hosts, I purchased an expensive Hennessy (French Cognac), Ruffino Grappa (Italy’s Sangiovese), Cakebread Cellars (Napa Valley CA Cabernet Sauvignon), Jacob’s Creek (Aussie Shiraz), Louis Jadot (both the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Burgundy France), Kendall Jackson La Crema (Sonoma Coast CA Pinot Noir), and a Masi Masianco (Venezie Italy Pinot Grigio). Actually I bought three bottles of one of them.

I hear it’s an afternoon of shots of liqueur at Jollification tomorrow. So, I will have to work today to get the Week In Review done by 10:30am tomorrow. However, if my head still isn’t clear by then, the Hash run should put me in good shape for the afternoon.

Have a good day. Don’t forget, this week we are celebrating the Trade of the Generation. Next week, we’ll have to think of something else. But if I know this place – and I do – there’s always something else.
