HI Financial Services Mid-Week 01-27-2015

It has been said that history turns on small hinges, and so do our lives.  Decisions determine destiny.  But we are not left unaided in our decisions.  – Thomas S Monson

How safe do you think it is to spread trade with our volatility in the market? There is no right answer but non direction spread trades are the best right now – Strangle, Straddle, Collar, Ratio Spreads and maybe Calendars if Way out in time

Today’s Market

DJIA Down -291 or 1.65%

SPX Down -27.54 or 1.34%

Comp Down -90 or 1.89%

How much was HI down today at the close? Bert won with ALL Trade Monster Accounts down $28,990

Putting that into perspective – Did I beat the market today? YES

Am I beating the market YR to Date? YES down 37K on 6.1 Million

Am I able to sit thru volatility? YES – WHY? Hedged, Collars, Non directional Spreads

What saved me today was chart analysis, collars, non-direction and portfolio hedges with the SPX, !!!!

Put on the hedge yesterday 30 minutes before the market close and closed it 30 mintes today before the market close.  Reason Why? Based on positive tech earnings or earnings in general on AAPL, T, YAHOO, MMM, BMY in all honesty I expected bad earnings from COH, CAT, FCX, PFE

If you are fearful of the stock market you should NOT be trading !!!  IF you can’t pull the trigger on a trade you should NOT be trading !!!  Save your money and wait until volatility slows down or change your style of trading.

 

18 of the 150 S&P 500 that reported this week up to this morning ALL cited stronger dollar for lower overall revenues and weaker guidance than estimate

What’s happening this week and why?

Greek Elections and new President promises !!!

Durable goods -3.4 vs est 0.5

Durable ex trans -0.8 vs est 0.6

Case Shiller 4.3 vs est 4.3

Consumer Confidence 102.9 vs est 96.0

New Home Sales 481 vs est 450

AAPL, YHOO, PFE beat big today and we will probably see a bounce or follow through into tomorrow and the rest of the week

 

 

Where will our market end this week?

End of the month so I will call for 1% down with selling at the end of the month BUT funds have to be in AAPL so the Nasdaq will most likely run positive into the end of the month

 

 

DJIA – Bearish on all three tech indicators

SPX – Technically speaking we are bullish, with resistance at 2060 ish and support at 2020ish

 Screen Shot 01-27-15 at 03.46 PM

 

COMP – Bullish but today closed below the 50 SMA

Where Will the SPX end January 2015?

01-27-2015 I would expect down 3% but moving down 7 to 10% during the month. Feb my guestimate is 2050 or slightly positive

 

01-20-2015 I would expect down 3% but moving up 1% or more this week.  Earnings may change my mind

 

01-13-2015 I would expect down 3% but moving down 7 to 10% during the month.  Earnings may change my mind

 

01-06-2015 I would expect down 3% but moving down 7 to 10% during the month
