The Fury of the Seven Seas

I was up another 2.5% today, thanks to BALT. Owning close to 1 million shares, I can tell you that this pagan Xmas was rightfully bountiful. My only wish is to see the shares down a little from current levels. Bear in your small minds, BALT is the very best of the dry bulk shippers, having the very best balance sheet and market position, tethered to spot rates instead of charter.

Many of you don’t know it yet. But I bet you’re starting to pay me some mind, being that the shippers are the very best and most fashionable stocks out of all the stocks publicly traded right now.

NOTE: On Friday evening, I will be unveiling the new GARP index, for The PPT, exclusive to members and for private eyes only.

BUD DEO TAP are three alcohol stocks  in uptrends with room to push higher into New Year’s Eve festivities, as you can see on their respective daily charts, below.

BEAM has been a disappointing laggard of late.

Also keep an eye on stocks like NTRI MED WTW for New Year’s resolutions plays in the next few weeks.

IPO’s Printing it Today

Twitter is obviously stealing the show again, not just with its strength but also the volatility in the options market.

In addition, keep an eye on other recent IPO’s WIX WUBA to see if they follow suit.

Fidelity Sector Rotational System Surges Ahead of $SPY Benchmark

I must start this post with my sincere thanks for the comments you all left me on my semi-retirement post. I was treuly moved by your comments.

Because when one semi-retires from something, no one wants to hear that the semi-retiree has been doing nothing. That would represent pure laziness and sloth. Why would one semi-retire if he was going to do nothing? Indeud, I have been enjoying semi-retirement, having recently purchased a beautiful piece of property on the Cacapon River, West Virginia’s cleanest river.

I caught a nice smallmouth shortly after this picture was taken.

So life is good. Which is a nice segue to the reason I am posting this, which is that my Fidelity Sector Fund Rotational System killed it in July, and surged ahead of its $SPY benchmark.

The system rocketed up 7.5% in July, once again outperforming $SPY, which gained only 5.2%. The system is also outperforming $SPY in August, but the month is not even half-finished.

Year-to-date, the system has logged gains of 20.8%, and that is net of fees, commissions, etc. $SPY has gained 19.1% YTD.

The top five ranked Fidelity Sector Funds are as follows:

FSAVX (Automotive)FSRPX (Retailing)FBSOX (IT Services)FSRBX (Banking)FSPHX (Healthcare)

The system rotated into some new funds last week. It is currently holding FSAVX, FSRBX, and FSRPX.

I’ll leave you with a little chart porn. Below is the equity curve and monthly performance for the system, starting in 2012. I use 2012 because that is when I started trading the system in real-time. Click on the graphic to make it larger.

Best to everyone!

Going through the “Kill The Shorts” screen inside The almighty PPT, which searches for stocks with high short percentages and high technical scores, here are two names that look ripe to squeeze higher this week:

NILE – Look for things to get fast above Friday’s high, $48:

DECK – Closed near the highs of the day on Friday, watch for a breakout as shorts continue to cover with further strength:

ANOTHER FINE DAY

Shut up, at once, you stupid vagrant!

I made another 1.6% today and schemed amongst my associates to make more. For those of you who are brand new, rookie, punks to this market, tomorrow is half day, a time of year when Santa Claus himself sleds over the faces of the unfortunate.

I intend to make fat gains amidst thin trading.

Try this at home if you dare. Just know, the SPY is barely up 1% for the month of December, which means “The January Effect” is right on schedule to punch the faces off of anyone in the way. Please pardon my violent demeanor, for I was raised in the sewers of Brooklyn, dodging bullets and knife jabs on my way to school.

Top picks: BALT, DRYS, RBCN, YY
