Hi Prof. Navarro.

You stocks picks (Long Housing and Financials) imply that either you expect a stock market recovery or you currently advocate on short-time and counter-trend trading.

However, according to your sayings at your newsletter you are not convinced yet that taking long positions is prudent:
“What I see is a global economy slowing on every major continent”
and
“will the biggest bailout in global history reverse the market’s bearish trend? That’s not a bet I would want to take on the long side just yet”

Also, according to your book “When the Market Moves, Will you be Ready?” Weak sectors in a weak market should not be traded long.

Any comments?

Best,
Giorgos

PS. I enjoyed your aforementioned book

I am really grateful that you are contributing to us budding investors in this way Prof. Navarro. I notice that you will make buy recommendations but won’t comment on when it may be time to sell. Is this because the current market trend doesn’t support selling at this point or do you choose not to give sell recommendations?

Sincerely and thanks for everything

Nathan

Long term, I would hold it. Do you see anyone using LESS oil these days?

Prof. Navarro,

I believe that you are an advocate of sector rotation. I can see that you have consumer staples in your portfolio in this down trend big picture. Should you also have utilities and health care and even some others?

Ted,
I know Prof. Navarro wanted to be in 100% cash when he started making picks for us in September, but that doesn’t work for a stock market game like ours.

If you don’t want to hold just cash, defensive stocks like utilities, health care and any large dividend yielding stock are good bets.

My first day looking at your Survivor portfolio and I am looking forward to learning from it weekly. One question: On 9/28 Dr. Navarro recommended selling IFN but as of today10/11 it is still showing in his portfolio. Is this an oversight?

IFN is still in his portfolio and since bottoming Friday at $16, it’s up 40%.
