1 August 15, 2014 Password for the Premium Newsletter Archive is: STOCKS Is the U.S. Consumer Confident? "American families feel better about the economy than they have in a long time," said Kurt McNeil, General Motors' U.S. sales chief, on Friday. The improving economy is behind the strength in the auto market, economists and automakers said. 1

2 The above statement appeared in the Los Angeles Times on August 1, Meanwhile, the latest reading from the Conference board on Consumer Confidence came in as follows: The Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index Improves Again July 2014 Third Straight Monthly Gain; Index at Highest Level since October 2007 Headlines like these make me want to pop a cork, beef up my wardrobe, and load up on the consumer discretionary (retail) stocks. But, keep your credit card in your wallet for now, because here is what a few major retailers have said recently. We are approaching the second-half of 2014 with confident optimism in our business strategies, merchandise assortments and marketing plans, tempered with the reality that many customers still are not feeling comfortable about spending more in an uncertain economic environment, Terry J. Lundgren, Macy s chairman and CEO, said in a statement. (August 13, 2014) And what better bell-weather could there be on the retail sector than Wal-Mart (WMT)? Here is the headline from their earnings report on Thursday, August 14: Wal-Mark stores cut its earnings guidance for the year after it posted its seventh straight quarterly decline in U.S. store traffic and said growth in online sales would slow. It cited sluggish consumer spending. Mickey D s (MCD) reported their earnings just three weeks ago. I would consider McDonald s to be yet another fairly good proxy, bell-weather stock for the consumer discretionary sector. McDonald's reported a lower-than-expected quarterly profit as comparable sales in its struggling U.S. business fell for the third straight quarter and sales in Europe declined for the first time in four quarters. It is an improving economy says the Los Angeles Times. Consumer Confidence is at its highest level since 2007 says the U.S. government. Yet, Macy s, Wal-Mart, and McDonalds are telling us a different story altogether. Who am I supposed to believe? I need more facts-more evidence, I need a bigger sample. Let s dig a little deeper. Here is a headline from Reuters today: Euro zone economy grinds to halt even before Russia sanctions bite Here is some more color on the story. 2

3 Euro zone's economy unexpectedly stalled in the second quarter of the year dragged down by shrinking growth in Germany and stagnant France, ringing alarm bells about the health of the bloc's economy bracing for impact of sanctions against Russia. Economy of the 18 countries sharing showed no growth in the three months to June when compared with the first quarter when it was up 0.2 percent, data from the EU's statistics office Eurostat showed on Thursday. Wait a minute. This does not sound very good, I am beginning to lose my confidence. How can a non-growth European economy not impact us here in America? They are our biggest trading partner. Let s next check on Japan, the world s third largest economy: Japan's GDP Falls By 6.8% In The Second Quarter On Sales Tax Rise A sales tax hike last quarter drove Japan s economy into its biggest contraction since the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami, Cabinet Office data showed on Wednesday, keeping policymakers under pressure to expand fiscal and monetary stimulus should recovery falter again. The April 1 sales tax hike took a heavy toll on household spending, shrinking the world s thirdlargest economy by an annualized 6.8 percent from April through June, and wiping out growth of 6.1 percent seen in January-March as consumers went on a shopping spree to avoid the higher tax. Yikes! Who is the genius that suggested a massive sales tax increase? Japan s economy has been struggling for years. It seems to me that the money would have been better off in the hands of the consumer and not in the government s hands. 3

4 I am getting less and less confident as I go. Many times pictures tell me much more than words. Let s look at a few. Maybe I can get my confidence back. We begin with Wal-mart. I see a stock that has gone nowhere in one year. Let s next take a look at McDonalds. The stock has come down real hard in the last two months. 4

5 I see a lot of charges on my credit card to Bed, Bath, and Beyond (BBBY). It does not looks like it is helping the stock, however. If folks are not shopping at Wal-Mart, then they must be shopping at Target (TGT): So much for that theory. How about The Container Store (TCS)? Lots of neat things there 5

6 The stock is not so neat, however. I see a lot of teenagers wearing American Eagle (AEO) gear: It does not look like their parents are buying the stock, however. OK then, they must be saving money by shopping at T J Maxx (TJX) 6

7 I guess not. How about Ross Stores (ROST)? Nope! 7

8 Boy, all of this consumer confidence is invisible almost everywhere! All-time highs! But then how come the consumer stocks are hitting lows? Maybe all that discretionary spending is showing up at the restaurants. We Americans love to eat out Let s check EAT (Brinker Intl.). All of those sizzling fajitas commercials don t seem to be paying off very well. Maybe we prefer Olive Garden or Red Lobster over Chili s. Darden s stock just got whacked too 8

9 Taco Bell, KFC, Pizza Hut? Nope! My office is right across the street from Horton Plaza in downtown San Diego. It is a Westfield Mall. It has most of your typical tenants: Nordstroms, Macy s, Brookstone, Wetzel s Pretzel, etc. I have never seen this mall as empty as it has been over the last several months. This is high-time tourist season in San Diego. There are nice hotels all around the mall, but the visitors don t seem to be interested in shopping. Maybe they are visiting Sea World (SEAS), one of San Diego s big tourist attractions: 9

10 I reported on local channel six news that Sea World s stock was down 30% on Wednesday. Theme Park traffic is way down. Blackfish has something to do with it, but not that much! To be fair, Disney (DIS) is hitting new highs, but they rely on a whole lot more than just their theme parks. Things like Frozen and ESPN have really helped them. I wrote an article for TheStreet.com this past week on why I currently like the stock. But very few consumer discretionary stocks are doing well this year. Most of them topped out more than a year ago. Retail stocks are a leading indicator of the economic cycle. I cleaned up on stocks like Tractor Supply (TSCO), T J Maxx (TJX), and Dollar Tree (DLTR), a few years ago when the economic cycle was really accelerating. But, where are we now in the economic cycle? Here is where we started five years ago.? 10

11 The fact of the matter is this: We are not at the beginning of a new economic cycle. This was obviously one of the best times to invest. Consider that the market has almost tripled since the trough in You have heard the old adage that is not good to fight the FED. Nothing could be truer during this 65 month old Bull. The FED has been pumping unprecedented stimulus into our economy, the party is now over, however. Do you know what your living room looks like the next day after New Year s Eve? Confetti, dried up deviled eggs, and sparkling cider corks everywhere. I am not saying that this current Bull is over, but I am pointing out the fact that a very important leading indicator like the Consumer Discretionary sector has already rolled. This is not a good sign. Fortunately, other sectors have been picking up the slack, however. More and that in a moment. 11

Investors feel like Geopolitical events have calmed down for now. I am not so sure about that! Putin s convoy of humanitarian aid was reportedly shelled by Ukraine troops on Friday morning. The market reacted immediately with a 100 point sell-off and then rebounded somewhat by the end of the day. I do not trust Putin. Investors also seem to think that ISIL is now under control after a little bit of targeted bombing by the U.S. Meanwhile, ISIL s numbers continue to increase and they are promising to bring their brand of car bombings to an American city near you. Let s hope that they are all talk. 12

13 The peace is holding in Gaza, but it is ever so fragile. India had a very good week, Brazil s third candidate for their President was killed in a plane crash, and oil prices continue to drop, yet another sign of a SLOWING GLOBAL economy!

Emerging markets continue to outperform our market. U.S. interest rates remain low. The bond market had a big rally on Friday after the conflicting news reports out of the Ukraine. 13

14 Emerging Markets. U.S. Bonds. 14

15 Gold remains neutral The Dow is bouncing hard of its 200 day moving average. It is on a short term sell signal however with the 20 day/50 day moving average crossover. 15

16 The S&P 500 has rallied back to its 50 day moving average. The 50 day could now become resistance. It too is now on a short term sell signal. It has downside risk to 1,870. The Nasdaq continues to hold up well. In fact it looks like it wants to break out to the upside once again 16

17 China is holding up well and I added some more exposure to this market this past week. My U.S. Small-cap Growth indicator is still neutral and hanging tough for now. 17

18 We will continue to watch this index very closely going forward. Again, here are the support and resistance levels of this key index. $108-$124. We are currently at $ This is still neither bullish nor bearish. It is a neutral reading. Let s next have a look at where the indexes currently stand. Here are this week s all-important ranking of the 77 indexes that I track on a daily basis: BEST two weeks ago BEST last week BEST this week We now have four B+ Indexes. The top spots are still dominated by Asia. I have no interest in the Egypt ETF. I continue to increase my exposure to the Asian markets. 18

19 Here are my second tier (9-16) of indexes. Two weeks ago Last week This week. Here are this week s bottom ranked indexes. Worst Indexes 2 weeks ago Worst Indexes last week Worst Indexes this week No surprises here. Europe and Russia continue to be the worst places to be invested in Argentina is also having its difficulties right now. 19

20 Now for this week s ranking of the 34 asset classes. This gives me a good indication of where the money is flowing. It will also help to warn us of a lurking bear. Top 8 (3 wks. ago) Top 8 (2 wks. ago) Top 8 (This week) The Nasdaq 100 index and the MLP index are still the top ranked asset classes. Emerging Markets are also right there in the leadership group. There is still not any one dominate asset class like there was last year, however. 20

21 Here is the second tier of leading asset classes: (9-16)Three weeks ago (9-16) Last week (9-16) This week Nothing exciting here. Here are this week s worst ranked asset classes. This also very important to watch going forward. As long as the Inverse S&P 500 remains at the bottom of the pile, the bear is at bay. Bottom 8 two weeks ago Bottom 8 last week Bottom 8 this week The INVERSE S&P 500 is back where it belong, at the bottom of the heap! It has been at or near the bottom throughout this entire 65 week bull market. 21

22 This continues to be a horrible chart to bet on. Here is my current ranking of the sixty sectors that I track on a daily basis. The sector rankings will also be critical to watch going forward. Top 8 three weeks ago Top 8 two weeks ago Top 8 this week The Biotech sector had huge week. It back near the top. U.S. internet and Chinese Internet are also very strong right now. Healthcare stocks are also still doing well. Why is the biotech sector starting to lead again? BECAUSE FOR THE MOST PART, IT IS NON-CORRELATED TO THE ECONOMY. 22

23 23

24 Here is what sectors 9-16 look like right now. #9-16 (3 weeks ago) #9-16 (2 weeks ago) #9-16 (this week) The Energy Sector is still missing from the leaders, but I am still bullish. If any one of these hotspots in the world escalate, oil will be right back over $100 per barrel. Here are this week s bottom ranked sectors Bottom 8 Two Weeks Ago Bottom 8 Last Week Bottom 8 This Week 24

25 THIS WEEK S BOTTOM LINE The Consumer Sector really has me worried about the U.S. economy. The Russian/Ukraine situation has me worried about the Global Economy. It is going to have a major impact on Europe, our largest trading partner. Now the third biggest economy in the world (Japan) is getting clobbered. And I do not trust Putin. Yet, the 65 month old bull market is still intact. I have been a bull all throughout this more than five year old uptrend. I continue to be cautious on the U.S. markets however. I have a yellow flag flying on them, but I continue to have a green flag flying on the emerging markets. Please follow me on throughout the week for any changes in my current stance on the market or individual stocks.

26 Bill Gunderson s Conservative Growth Model Portfolio This model is made up of mostly large and mid-cap companies that I consider suitable for investors who have a conservative growth risk profile. Time horizon of at least 3-5 years would be appropriate. Investors need to be able to ride through swings of 10-18%, however. This portfolio was up 23.8% in This is net of an annual mgt. fee of 2% and all $7 trades. This portfolio is up 2.30% YTD. I sold SLB and made no new buys. Cash level is now 12.3%.

30 Bill Gunderson s Income & Growth Model Portfolio This portfolio is for investors seeking Income along with the possibility of Growth. This is a good mix for retirees who are seeking a CD alternative-albeit with greater risk. This is my MOST CONSERVATIVE portfolio. Still, investors need to be able to handle a 10-15% swing. This portfolio currently has an average yield of 3.3%. This portfolio was up 21.75% in It is now up 33.14% since its August 5, 2011 inception. This works out to an annualized rate of 9.34%. Not bad for an Income account. This portfolio is now up 0.13% YTD. I sold HP and BTE this week. No new buys. Cash level in this portfolio is now 30.5%.

It is also my most VOLATILE portfolio. Investors need to be able to stomach as much as 10-20% swings from time to time in an aggressive style of investing. This portfolio goes anyone in in the world, wherever the action is. This portfolio was up 39.5% in 2013 after all expenses. It can also be heavily weighted in certain sectors of the market. This portfolio is down (6.61%) YTD. I sold OAS. I bought PCYC, and VIPS. Cash level is now 7.3%. If you are a new client or in my moderate profile, your cash level could be much different.

38 Bill Gunderson s 401-K/Mutual Fund Model Portfolio Everyone has different choices to them in their 401-ks. The choices basically fall into several broad categories however: Large Cap, Mid-Cap, Small-Cap, Govt. Bond, Corp. Bond, Inflation Protected Bond, International, Emerging Market, and maybes sectors like technology, natural resources, etc. I have added a number of mutual funds to my Best Stocks Now database that are representative of the various categories of funds that are available in most 401k plans. I grade them on a daily basis. I am almost done with my BEST MUTUAL FUNDS NOW app. If you have a wide selection of mutual funds in your plan, here is my current recommendation. This portfolio was up 31.33% in 2013 (net of all fees and trading costs). It is now down -2.43% so far this year. No changes this past week. Cash position is now 3.5% Mutual Fund Model Portfolio -2.43% (YTD after fees) S&P % 8/14/2014 (Close) -1.41% (before fees) Dow -0.4% 31.33% Since 1/1/13 Inception (net of all mgt. fees trading costs) Annualized 18.4% Add Add Adjusted Beginning Current Current Date Symbol Name Sector Price Price Shares Value Price Value G/L Alloc. 16-May-14 DODFX Dodge & Cox International International $45.17 $ $3,388 $45.90 $3, % 10.75% 20-Jun-14 FBIOX Fidelity Biotech Drug $ $ $3,361 $ $3, % 11.00% 28-Mar-14 FEMKX Fidelity Emg.

40 Bill Gunderson s Trading Account (new) This is Bill Gunderson s actual trading account. I deposited $25,000 into it on 3/28/14 and went shopping. I have sent out a tweet on every trade I have made since. For the most part, these stocks are too small or too thinly traded for my managed accounts. This is not a daytrading account. I am looking to bag some big winners, while keeping a short leash on my positions. I am using sell stops on leveraged investments. This account is now down 5.37%. I sold OAS and PHX. No new buys. Cash Level is now at 40.1%.
