Picks of the week 23-Feb-2015

MFLX @ $18.00 - market order at open (whatever that price ends up being)

UEPS @ $13.36 ""

CNC @ 59.86 ""

Bonus play ENOC and if you want to play oil then my pick is ATW.

MFLX +4.2% .... I still think it has room to move but pulling out here just in case
UEPS +2.5%
CNC +2.2%

Mean = +3.0%

SPY = -0.3%

The bonus plays were terrible this week and I hope nobody played them.
ENOC -22.2% bad earnings release today. Never trust earnings haha
ATW -10.1% oil price rebound ... too little to late. Negativity is still being priced in.

I follow a quantitative model that I've spent years and a lot of money on putting together. I'm still in a development stage but I've made a LOT of money in the past with these methods and someday I may sell subscriptions to the model picks. For now I post a few of them here every week for free.

I'm sideways on MFLX and CNC since I went in late. Holding a little longer. I actually like mflx for a longer term buy

Fair enough thanks for clearing it up, I was just intrigued since every time you post your weekly picks the majority of the time they are +.

That is very true, What do you think about getting into emerging markets, im thinking for long term from now, albeit they have under performed.compared to S&P. India and Indonesia have potential GDP growth from my research.

Careful with emerging markets. Outside of the US, much of the world, especially emerging markets, are about to plunge into recession. Some good emerging market gems, but be careful. I do wish I had taken my fathers advice and gone heavily into some Turkish equities.

Indian real estate has been hot. but that's a very risky play

I think India is a HUGE potential market and I too am looking at a way to play it. I think rail could be a winner ... I'm just not sure where the steel would come from for the rail systems?

As for other EM's ... they were pretty pumped up before all the free money from the FED so they will likely see some growth again once rates increase. Mind you there are a lot of EM's that are scary with all the uncertainty in their governance .... it's a big risk.

I believe it to be Jindal steel? but i swear one of their spokesman said they were negative about the budget for the proposed railways or something along those lines.

Don't worry about a budget. If you want to build it then you have to take on debt. What better way to take on debt then to go to your newest funding consortium called BRICS Bank. I have a feeling that BRICS will be capable of issuing bonds soon and of course you'll get a much higher yield on those than US treasuries.

Check out TEXRAIL they are up >10% today and 287% on the 1yr chart!

http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/...cle6941671.ece

The Budget hiked the plan outlay for 2015—16 by 52 per cent to Rs. 100,011 crore over the revised estimate of 2014—15.

“We believe that the large increase of 52 per cent in plan allocations should result in increased order flows for companies in the rail infrastructure space ranging from rails, signaling, wagons and rolling stock among others. The 52 per cent higher plan allocation has been the key takeaway of the Rail budget,” said R Sreesankar Head — Insitutional Equities Prabhudas Lilladher.

Dude you've got to correct your sig to indicated the current date of calc and change SP500 for SPY since SPY includes divs and it's a direct comparison with what someone can actually purchase.

Corrected gets you greens
Left gets you reds ... the choice is yours

not sur if srs.....

It's a basement ghetto video in the lower left corner. Plus the non script is so spotty and full of historic examples that don't mean sheet. Everyone is a review mirror millionaire.

I don't take medical advice from someone who is sick all the time, I don't take workout advice from the smallest guy in the gym, I don't take diet advice from the fattest person in the room, and I don't take financial advice from someone that looks like I should be loaning THEM money.

Your logic is flawed.

I would take coaching advice on basketball from Phil Jackson, even though he was never a good ball player. I would take work out advice from a 5'1 125lb educated graduate if he had the right credential. I would take diet advice from an obese whale if they had research to prove what they are saying (but not doing) is correct.

However that video looks shady as hell would not listen/10

Whats everyones take on Afren (AFR) its taken a battering since last year, the improvement in the oil prices could give a reactive upside in price for Afren. Thinking of buying for a speculative stock 8.67p

It wasn't too long ago that I remember Bernanke sneering at people who held their money in cash under the mattress.

Now we are approaching a situation where negative yields and deposit rates are charging people to hold money in a bank, with some banks even paying you interest on loans taken out.

Keeping your money under the mattress now is actually logical in some situations, ironically created by the central bankers.

If anyone thinks this is normal or representative of a healthy economy they are out of their mind.

I have no idea what this means longer term. There are numerous possibilities, including a massively strengthening dollar, or at the exact opposite end of the scale a new bull market for metals,or may be both in different orders.

Thinking I'm going to sit for CFA level 1 in December.

I'll be glad to help if you need any.

The dynamics of a capitalist economy demands an accelerating growth of perpetual national debt, which is naturally unsustainable. Deleveraging is inevitable, and it's going to be very painful. I expect to see major fiscal and monetary reforms, particularly related to the banking system, and socialism. But it needs to be an international consideration for it to work.

That's just not true. The national debt is a political issue.

I'm not familiar with US politics, but how is that a political issue?

[woodbarry]

The national budget is something that is fought over constantly because each representative wants their pet projects funded and wants to tell their constituents that they brought back the most money for their state and stuff like that. A majority of the reps don't care about the national debt as a whole, but tend to look only at what will get them either re-elected or get large "donations" to their bank accounts.
