Dow +59.17 at 12612.13, Nasdaq +11.62 at 2491.94, S&P +5.05 at 1452.85

Was a good week for the markets as the broad ones like the NYSE and Value Line hit all time highs. The Fed minutes earlier in the week seemed to cause a stir as the wording shows that the inflation concern is high so not ruling out further rate increases. The Friday PPI report showed un changed results so at first seemed to help the market but there is rising energy and food so actually inflation is not necessarily under control.

Having nothing to do with inflation but what in the USA has been something associated with riches I noticed in the airport in Moscow this caviar epricevending machine. Salmon Caviar. Years ago I was in the hospital for a while for treating pneumonia and at lunch it was not uncommon with the soup course to have bread, butter and caviar as associated with good source of protein and good for health. The prices in this machine are from $3.25 for a 55 gram jar to $23 for a 350 gram jar.

Also on Friday a report was showing that  consumer sentiment is decreasing and that one-year inflation expectations are the highest they have been in many months.

There is so much liquidity in the world still that the money has to go somewhere and it still seems that stocks are one favored place. CSCO helped the Nasdaq later in the day when its Chief Development Officer said the company is at the "high end" of sales forecasts and is in the "early phases" of an upgrade cycle.

Here are the indexes and all up this week.

The hottest sectors this week - railroads and the others shown here.

For our special situation stocks last week we mentioned that SDVC's merger had not yet been completed and we then found that it may be yet more months until it is. This limits some institutional buying and even though the stock may get a boost or more toward the end of April on the Chicago show promotion it is hard to know. It would be much better to have the official merger finished. Each week thousands of people see the StockTiger site for the first time so to avoid confusion we took the SDVC information off the special situation's page until they finalize the merger. Nothing has changed with the company but hard to time them exactly. You may recall that with NNRF we first bought it last September at $1.40 and sat through the low volume pullback that took several months so will try to avoid that here.

Speaking of which NNRF had another great week going up over $1.50 and 52% from last week's close. It had a run Monday then consolidated until Friday morning when it dropped to oversold area and rallied back up. We expect we may see some news released this week as the company representatives have been in London for meetings. We of course know of several strategic partnerships and agreements the company has with some of the highest level companies in the nuclear field in Russian and its involvement in the nuclear remediation projects that await the awarding of contracts. We also know the company is looking for a production facility for its nuclear shielding material and expect that technology and product to be a really successful revenue stream. However, if we do a back of the napkin calculation of only a couple of the current income streams we see how the stock price is very low. They own  50% of ATOLL with already announced expected profits of $22 million (for NNRF $11 million) and they will own about 38% of the new acquisitions with profits to grow to about  $11 million if they have similar margins to ATOLL. This would be $4.2 million to NNRF. Total of the two is $15.2 million on 35 million shares is $0.43 so now trading at a forward PE of 10. The areas of the much larger income is not yet even entered into this estimate so there is a huge upside potential. I think the current fair price could carry instead a PE of 20-25 or a price of $8-$11 before any new contracts are announced. This pullback was needed and helpful as it brought the stock back under the top Bollinger band to leave room for gains ahead. I expect news from the company this week.

Our new addition to special situations is Coffee Pacifica Inc. If you did not read the special mailing on this one it is here. We also strongly recommend that you watch the excellent video on the company website  Papua New Guinea Coffee Growers What they have done in a short time is remarkable starting with a few growers to now include about 123,000 in two countries. In the video you see how they have formed and or worked with cooperatives to provide education and a means for increased earnings for the farmers and health care and the cooperative actually has stock in the company. This formula can be used in any coffee producing country and we are sure that Coffee Pacifica is working on that.

Blue Mountain coffee is well known all over the world and Coffee Pacifica now controls about 30% of the production and plans to increase the total amount. Last year this company had large one time expenses to set up the distribution of the Jamaican coffee and this year are running in a profitable regime. The increase in the total sales is remarkable and we would not be surprised to soon see very positive news. When the prices are low, stocks like CFPC like NNRF can be lifestyle changers when you buy them low as the percentage gains can be so high. The main break out will be about a 100% move up from here so very good for the longer term.

Another Special Situation stock we put on hold is GRSR as they have yet to file the year end results and did not complete any arrangements yet for a USA production facility. We would rather our money be working and not sitting so will now wait to move back to GRSR when they come out with some good news. They did not do what they said they would do but the great advantage to being an individual investor is the ability to get in and out of stocks easily.

If you have any question on the special situation stocks you can call.

The world stock index continued making new all time highs.

Your father's index however has not yet been able to reclaim its high. The Dow has now almost made it to the top of the one-day sell off candle so often is a place to short but with the major broad indexes making new highs this one may play catch up this week. The coming week is seasonally very strong . Up about 83% of the time.

The Nasdaq also has lagged the broad markets but it is nearing the gap filling and maybe the Cisco upbeat comments will help it along.

This is the Monthly chart of the Qs (Nasdaq 100 proxy) and you see only a buck away from a new recent high. See how far away it is from the former highs though as compared to the broad markets.

Here is the actual Nasdaq 100 weekly and stochastics about midway on the move back up.

ndx1304.png

The Nasdaq summation index back to the underside of the broken trend so this week may show if we can get this break out.

nasi1304.png

And the BPCOMPQ had another cross after the brief dip so maybe this means the correction is over? There of course still may be a C wave down using that ABC count and or the Nasdaq could be in a shorter term wave 5 now with a drop to com only after that completes. I prefer at the moment to use trend lines and volume.

bpcomp1304.png

The S&P 500 is now above the one day drop candle and seems it is destined to test the March highs pretty soon.

 spx1304.png

The Russell 2000 has made a very nice recovery also off it lows at the 200-day EMA double bottom. Now only 11 points away from a new high.

rut1304.png

The broad index the NYSE is all those stocks so is not only USA stocks. It as you see broke out on Friday to new highs. (The S&P Midcap index also hit all time highs Friday)

nya1304.png

The number though of the stocks in the NYSE that are now trading above their 50-day is not near its highs so room to run more.

nya501304.png

The Yield curve on this scale is still negative (10 equals 1) but it has made good gains. Getting back above 1 (10) would not rule out a recession but would make it less likely.

 yieldcurve1304.png

In the past, stocks have gone up as oil did and this seems to be the case now also as oil is once again at a little break out level.

oil1304.png

The US dollar dropped below support and the next support is shown and maybe the long term bottom also ahead.

gplfdlt1304.png

The dollar going down seems to have contributed to the rise in gold as it is also, like oil, near a little break out area. This being at $692.50

 gplfdlt1304.png

The HUI Gold Bugs (basket of unhedged gold stocks) Closed at resistance so we could see a break out when stocks outperform the metal. This is shown on the line in the center chart.

Here is the economic calendar from briefing com.

Now some additions to the watch list

TQNT has a double level - lower at $5.31 then at $5.48

tqnt1304.png

ALY on Friday got to $18.98 so lets try this on a move over $19 on good volume.

aly1304.png

There were a few picks that by the close Friday had moved above our buy point but PAAS has a second one at the break of $31.84 but is close to the top Bollinger band.

paas1304.png

HL another silver closed right at its $9.44 break out.

hl1304.png

JDO a good play on Friday and now has a break out possible at $2.40

jdo1304.png

KCP  above $28.10

kcp1304.png

CY also moved above the first buy point on Friday so now would need to beat $20.42

cy1304.png

ENER above $37.31

ener1304.png

TKER is not a break out play as it did it already on Friday but pointing it out as it closed above the 200-day EMA so it may be a longer hold with a stop below. The company has interesting products but seems it has poor management but if they ever get their act together this could really run.

tker1304.png

BOOM we would buy over $34.04

boom1304.png

Gold stock KGC also popped at the close. Hate it when that happens when we have a nice set up but maybe will give a Monday entry.

kgc1304.png

CSCO had bullish comments Friday and has a possible level at $27.00

csco

Yet another silver stock SLW also closed a bit above its buy point so maybe an $11.25 entry or a minor pullback.

slw1304.png

For CRGN it has only been 10 trading days since the big drop so maybe not ready to try higher but we would buy over $3.20 for a try.

crgn1304.png

DCTH had a good day Friday on some rumors and would be a play over about $4.85.

Aurora Borealis  from auroraskies.ca

At one time I was driving very late night in northern NY on a country road and saw the Aurora Borealis so brightly it was quite amazing. These pictures show how interesting it can be.
