Saturday December 15, 2012
9:00 PM South Florida Beach Time

The end of the year holidays are around the corner. US lawmakers all want to get home for the holidays and many investment market participants are traveling and winding down trading for year end.  This will be 2012’s final Bi-Weekly Investment Outlook.  We will keep recommended positions to a minimum and use the New Year holiday weekend to publish issue # 412 and begin sending day trade flashes for short term trading. During the Holiday period, traders should look for markets to trade actively in flurries and then slow down as participants close up shop if they have not done so already.
Some of US stock market indices we follow in this letter have held up over the last few weeks while advancing off the November lows but have set back over the last few days. The March Nasdaq 100 future suffered the worse, closing at its lowest level on Friday since November 21, giving up every bit of its post-Thanksgiving rally.  The US Dollar hit our buy level last week and we exited on the bounce and will watch it from here.   We remain bearish yen and want to buy sharp dips in Dollar/ Yen, selling Yen futures on Rallies. The Canadian Dollar and Aussie Dollar have both firmed nicely. However a dip may now be due. Euro, Swiss Francs and Cable are all pushing higher look for lower prices into spring after a peak in December. Typically heating oil rises into the end of December buy a dip for a trade.
Be prepared to trade metals from both sides, last week silver acted lousy and sits where it did at the onset of November. Bond and Note futures weakened after the Fed noise and are near the middle of October’s price region, below most the November range. Wheat pushed lower last week and lower prices may still be in front of the market, traders can sell a sharp rally to get back short. Corn bounced after making a test of its early harvest lows. Hogs tend to pull back into early January, thus we will avoid February hogs from the long side and try to re-short. Traders can Buy a Sharp pullback in July Hogs and June Hogs if it occurs.  Buying June and Selling Feb hogs should work.  Stay tuned for Livestock Flashes and Updates. Coffee remains under pressure. Seasonally higher prices are normally in front of the market now but at best it is a trading affair. Sugar and Cocoa tend take out or test December and November lows in January, thus we would avoid the long side except for a short term trade and prefer to sell rallies.

We are rolling analysis to March Forex in this letter, Indices will roll later this week.  Stay tuned for Flashes in All Markets. The Nasdaq Composite is up on the year, as are the Dow, SP500 and Russell 2000. However only 3 times in the last 25 years or so has the Dow Jones Industrial Average exceeded the lows in October that is before this year’s performance. Those were 1991 and 2007 and 2008, 1991 was in the midst of a secular bull market, we know what happened in 2009 it fell further into spring and  2008 was a mess. So caution remains even though typically the Indices act well for a rally into year end and Christmas. Our Job is to listen and the message is now a tad cloudy. This week Investors will be watching for Unemployment Data and Central Bank comments, along with constant chatter about the fiscal cliff.  Traders should remain nimble, but we do expect more Fed QE comments and more additions to its balance sheet, what the markets do with all the news is something only the markets know.

The dollar closed a tad higher on the month, lower on the week, we remain broadly dollar friendly with backing and filling, thus trades for both sides. Buy dips in Dollar/ Yen and Sell yen futures on Rallies. Canadian Dollar and Aussie Dollar are a trading affair and subject to news and babble, the same goes for Kiwi. Euro and Swiss Francs remain rang bound we would still look for lower prices into spring after a peak in December. Stay tuned for Forex flashes.
Use the volatility for trade crude and products during the sessions, typically heating oil rises into the end of December, buy a dip. Be prepared to Buy dips and sell rallies in metals as the markets decide which way they want to go.. Ditto for treasuries, both complexes offer trading chances especially with all the news coming out. Global Copper consumption is still positive and climbing a bit., Copper acts better and is worth keeping an eye on for both longs and shorts as it continues  to chop in its range and currently a tad higher on the year.
Soybeans and its products rallied and then set back, traders should look for a sideways to lower.
Stay tuned for Corn and Soybean Complex Flashes.  Wheat ran into a wall and closed lower on Friday, lower prices may still be in front of the market sell a rally. Cattle prices closed sharply lower on Friday. Seasonally Cattle and Pork tend to get soft into Mid December. Sell Feb Hogs on the Open Monday.  Traders can also Buy a Sharp pullback in July Hogs and June Hogs but not for a couple weeks , buying post mid-month would be desirable..  Also Buy June and Sell Feb hogs for a longer term seasonal trade into January.  Stay tuned for Livestock Flashes and Updates. We will keep Hog spreads as a separate item in the position listing and will let them work longer if able.. All the Softs look to be stuck in trading range for now, seasonally Sugar tends rise a bit in early December before acting like garbage in January. Coffee is range bound but should see some support in this region. Selling Cocoa in December tends to lead to lower prices in January.
