Shanghai sold off -2% overnight, adding to a -3% decline
on Tuesday. Russia opened weak on news
of a credit downgrade. Brazil was
pressured by continuing weakness in oil.
EEM (Emerging Markets), RSX (Russia), CAF (China ‘A’
Shares) and EWZ (Brazil) have had (and still have) no shortage of reasons to
sell off. They’ve recovered from
the mid-December washout lows and are holding up nicely. Seasonal bias (which generally refers to the
last 5 trading days of December + the first 2 in January) turns positive
today.
- Opened CAF (China ‘A’ Shares) @ 27.7x.
- Opened EWZ (Brazil) @ 36.2x.
- Opened RSX (Russia) @ 15.5x.
- Opened PBR (Petrobras) @ 7.5x.
- Opened GDP (Goodrich Petroleum) @ 4.9x.
- Opened RYWVX (Rydex 2x Emerging Markets) at the 1030 est window.
Why the obsession with Emerging Markets? The US indexes are likely in the later
innings of their bull run. For emerging
markets, it may be only the bottom of the first.
(Note that UGAZ declined another -11% today. That's an extreme, 'off-Desolation Row' kind
of negativity. It ends at some point,
but no longer a candidate for trading until a bottom is in.)
Quoting a Marketwatch columnist: 'According to data from Yale and Jeff Hirsch’s Stock Traders Almanac, the average year ending in “5” has produce a gain of 28.3% (!) going all the way back to 1885.' If that holds true in 2015, I predict John Hussman gives up.

ReplyDeleteI'm contemplating holding on to my WYNN position for a longer period than I have. I bought in at $137 which seems like a pretty good price for a longer term hold for a variety of reasons:
ReplyDelete(1) the stock is down big from the $249 high it reached nine months ago. At the time I bought it was down 45% but the $249 high was excessive. It should have not gotten there at that time (maybe later).
(2) the dividend yield, while in no way guaranteed because the casino business is cyclical, is really attractive. TTM dividends were $7.75 which amounted to a 5.7% yield on the $137 cost.
(3) they are constructing Wynn Palace in Macau which could be a huge boost to earnings...completion date is expected to be 2016. Not many people know about this but there is a huge bridge being built that will connect Hong Kong to Macau in 2016 that could open up a lot more gamblers to Macau and could transform investment into China (maybe this is part of why the Chinese stock market has been rallying so hard??) Read more here:
http://online.barrons.com/articles/macau-casinos-time-to-bet-on-the-house-again-1418977279
(4) Wynn won a casino license in Massachusetts (fairly close to downtown Boston) that could be really lucrative. This is being opposed for a variety of reasons and is not a sure thing yet but it could be a nice boost to earnings down the road.
From what I know amongst my friends, the perception of WYNN is that it is one of the higher class joints in Vegas and I think the brand is well regarded. I've contemplated the right time to moves some of this money back into FCAU but I feel as though I got lucky with my entry on what might have been a washout low. The December Macau numbers aren't going to be pretty but like the article above says, the worst of the downturn in Macau may be priced in already.
It appears Lake Mead level has gained a few feet in the past few weeks or months, not sure what snow pack looks like currently.

DeleteWondering if the slowdown in the oil industry might create issues for pickup truck sales?
ReplyDelete"Canadians registered more new vehicles in 2013 than any year in the country’s auto-buying age. Yet in 2014, that record was very nearly broken in the first eleven months of the year.
Auto sales in Canada through November 2014 rose 5.5%, a gain of 89,000 units compared with the first eleven months of 2013.
Despite a sharp 3.4% decline in the number of passenger cars sold in November, the Canadian auto industry was up 3.6% last month thanks to strong pickup truck volume (up 15% to 25,811 units) and continued improvement in the SUV/crossover category. "

I keep looking at YNDX. Anyone have any special insight on that one? Came across this:
ReplyDeleteLast November, I profiled Russian search engine company, Yandex (YNDX).
I pegged it as a “major player in the online search market,” and one of my top tech stocks for 2014.
In fact, Yandex is so large, it’s often dubbed the “Google of Russia.”
With good reason, too.
In November, I said, “Yandex is an attractive company that’s well able to continue its growth curve and invest in future product developments.”
Well… it just added another weapon to its arsenal.
Last week, Yandex announced that it’s expanding into the “classifieds” area by offering $175 million for car sales and advertising website, Auto.ru.
With over 400,000 classified car ads, along with ads for auto parts and repair services, Auto.ru is one of Russia’s top three auto classified sites, and No. 1 in Moscow.
But it’s not just an advertising portal…
Auto.ru is similar to Yelp (YELP), in that it also functions as a consumer information portal, hosting reviews and forums for automobile subjects.
So Yandex isn’t just expanding into the auto classifieds market, it’s also becoming the go-to place to get detailed answers about cars.
The deal is expected to close in the third quarter. And it underlines my belief that it’s a “tech all-star,” as it will add to the company’s already strong growth…
Consider, in 2013, Yandex cracked the $1-billion barrier by growing its revenue to $1.2 billion, versus the $941.7 million it grossed in 2012. That resulted in net income of $410 million – up a staggering 52%.
The additional revenue from Auto.ru will only help Yandex going forward. Especially in continuing to trounce Google (GOOG) in Russia, where it boasts more than double Google’s market share.
Like Google, Yandex is expanding outside of internet search revenue, too.
In January, the company spent $80 million to buy delivery firm, MultiShip, continuing a trend in recent years that has seen Yandex broaden its reach into mobile technology, mail, mapping and movies.
The company also penned a deal with Facebook (FB) in January, which gives it access to Russian Facebook users’ public data. Yandex will now be able to include a user’s posts, and the comments on those posts, in its search results.
ORI - What are the chances the ih&s fruits, considering the US yield curve has flattened bearishly and europe seems unable to QE?
ReplyDeleteWYNN - TOF's pick is lifting here today!!!
check out these dividends on WYNN over the past 8 years:
Delete2006 $6.00
2007 $6.00
2008 $0.00
2009 $4.00
2010 $8.00
2011 $5.00
2012 $7.50
2013 $6.00
TOTAL $42.50
Picked up some YNDX at $18.4
ReplyDeleteI sold all of my WYNN at $153.7 to $154.5. Booking a 11% gain in like 2 weeks. I think it runs higher but tough to pass up a big gain like that. Rolled more into YNDX. 20% position in that.
ReplyDeletePicked up some UGAZ at $4.99 and HABT at $33.36. I'm playing for brief bounces in both.
DeleteSold HABT at $33.9.
DeleteSold UGAZ at $5.13. I could see that running hard but a nice gain in just 30 minutes or so.
DeleteI think if you buy YNDX here and hold for a year it could do really well. I don't ever really hold for more than 6 months or so unless it's a internet stock in it's infancy like BIDU which I held for a couple of years but this reminds me a lot of when those other internet stocks like NFLX, BIDU, etc got beaten down and came roaring back a year or so later.
ReplyDeletelots of risk because of russia so it could go down a lot first so i wouldn't put a huge amount in it but it’s pretty cheap right now.
There was s Canadian oil company back in 1998 which was drilling in Russia and trading at an obscene low price of 1 times cash flow. Ended up being a 30 times winner, but was tough to buy then like any Russia stock is now.
DeleteProbably it ends up Ok, but could be tough in between
Any idea what the impact of a crashing ruble is on the debt that a company like VIP has? I think its domiciled in the Netherlands but I believe a lot of their debt is denominated in rubles. If they’re in a net debt position then wouldn’t a falling ruble positively impact them?
DeleteDid pot squeeze out all the shelf space for beer and tequila in Co.?

ReplyDeleteCrude oil supply / demand
ReplyDeletehttp://www.yardeni.com/pub/globdemsup.pdf
If this is true (that supply and oil have been rising and we're still seeing higher demand than supply), then I would think it's very very important in determining strategy for next year to consider which companies have benefited most from lower oil and vice versa.
Interesting strategy for long term success: Momentum + Value:
ReplyDeletewww.millennialinvest.com/blog/2014/5/12/two-ways-to-improve-the-momentum-strategy

I started buying back into FCAU today. Plan on building out a position.
ReplyDeletegood swicth from WYNN to YNDX
DeleteSo far so good. I was looking closer at the p/e's of BIDU as a comparison from 2006 to 2009 and there looks to be more potential downside for YNDX if things really hit the fan. The issue is we're in a raging bull market and the comparison to the lows for BIDU in 2008/9 probably shouldn't apply.
DeleteAnyway, here's what I saw:
2007 High p/e: 176.5
2007 Low p/e: 38.8
2008 High p/e: 62.2
2008 Low p/e: 16.22
2009 High p/e: 29.43
2009 Low p/e: 6.98
YNDX:
(Yandex has a much lower rate of growth at around 30% vs 100% for BIDU back in 2008/9)
2012 High p/e: 58.3
2012 Low p/e: 34.4
2013 High p/e: 55.1
2013 Low p/e: 25.4
2014 High p/e: 44.3
2014 Low p/e: 14.6

ReplyDeleteWhoa I looked at CTCT for the first time in a while.
ReplyDeleteI started selling some of my YNDX and taking a small profit. I think I may have an opportunity to enter at a much better price but I could be wrong. Just thinking there is still another panic move lower coming eventually. Maybe there's panic/rioting in the streets???
ReplyDeleteEasily the most brilliant movie of all time:
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7onFrBK_hKE#t=81
Reloaded FCAU at about $11.72 avg I think. Also sold out of YNDX completely for a small gain. I think there could be another panic selloff in Russian stocks which would create a huge opportunity I think in YNDX. In the meantime, I think FCAU is nearing the end of its consolidation period and I think the downside is limited to the low $11s.
ReplyDeleteKB - Meanwhile this one's busy tanking. Pressure from Japanese QE or Asia in the dumper?
ReplyDeleteALDW - How in the world can this refinery have been paying a $4 dividend when their earnings are far below that? Any ideas?
ReplyDeleteLooks like they have pretty substantial free cash flow (i.e Cash Flow from Ops minus CapEx). This is the true operating power of a business and adds back things like depreciation expense to earnings because its not a cash item. That # dropped substantially in 2013, though. I dno't know enough about the business to offer up anything else than this but it's always important to look at FCF. This is one of the most important metrics to me when I'm looking at a dividend payer or a larger more stable company.
Deletenvmd, figured it out.
DeleteThe cash flow increase came from this, which is what I'd anticipated. Now TEP has their Bakken pipeline to Cushing the spread might decrease assuming Midland supply doesn't increase. So this probably explains why share price has fallen:
Delete"This increase in operating margin was primarily due to a higher Gulf Coast 3/2/1 crack spread and a widening of both the WTI Cushing to WTS spread and the WTI Cushing to WTI Midland spread."
TEP - Speaking of this one, insider and institutional buying.

DeleteI've been doing some work looking at winners and losers for myself in 2014 and looks like I will close out the year with more losers (52% of my trades lost $$) than winners despite having my biggest year in terms of $$ gains (not %). Definitely reinforces that concept of cutting losers quickly. As we progress further in the bull market I think it's important to constantly take a litmus test of the market and assess what is working.
ReplyDeleteFor me I've been sticking with blue chips for the past 6 months for the following reasons:
(1) in anticipation of a dollar rally
(2) because small caps are overvalued relatively speaking
(3) I think this is the stage of the bull market where you can get demolished picking the wrong small caps.
If you look at most of the momentum stocks the valuations are still really stretched. Even companies that are down big like TWTR, YELP, Z, etc., you're talking about companies trading at 10-15x 2015 revenue estimates. I wouldn't exactly call that a bargain. I think at best those stocks continue to consolidate for a while unless some foolish company comes out and buys them. The one I like the best in terms of fundamentals is Z but I wouldn't be surprised to see it drop 50% at some point.

Closing all positions this morning, one trading day short of what normally marks the end of the 'seasonally positive' late December/early January streak. Sure, the indexes could take off on Monday, but that's not my opinion. Taking minor hits on most positions, somewhat offset by an +11% gain on CAF (China 'A' Shares).

ReplyDeleteTake a big picture look at the DJIA since 1900:
http://stockcharts.com/freecharts/historical/djia1900.html
We are coming off a nearly 6 year run in stocks of 200%. The other times something similar happened were 1928/9, 1956, 1961/2, 1987, 1996. All except for 1996 resulted in at least medium pullbacks lasting for a decent amount of time. In 96 stocks ran another 50% higher only to fall back to where they were again in 1996. Just something to think about more.
