Hello Readers,

In the last two Newsletters, we said that the summer’s market action would most likely be dictated by the Fed’s actions at its June meeting. Break out the duck tape. Chairman Ben and the other Fed guys couldn’t wait to give us the news early. Our major concern is that the Fed too often over-reacts and can do more harm than good. Is the Ben Brigade setting the stage for another crash, or should we take the view that rate hikes are closer to the end rather than at the end of the beginning?

One thing is for certain. This is the ugliest market mood since the Enron, Worldcom et al scandals of four years ago. It is also the worst pounding that small stocks, including those in our Current Portfolio, have taken in many years. And, no, we did not close any positions, once again, over the last few weeks. When does the carnage end? We should be a lot closer to the bottom than we were a month ago, (sounds like something Yogi would say).

Hello Readers,

May was probably one of the worst months for the markets in over a year. There just aren’t many four-letter adjectives to describe it. Stubbornly high oil prices and rising interest rates are the main culprits. There is also now a tug of war between the bulls and bears over whether this is a healthy market correction or the start of a major bear downturn. Whatever it is, it hasn’t helped our Current Portfolio one bit; once again, we did not close any positions since the last Newsletter. In fact, many of our picks had good to great news, only to mark time or slide down.

What’s going to happen next? Like we said in the last Newsletter, the Fed’s actions in a few weeks will perhaps dictate the direction of the markets over the next several months. The Fed’s statement may be just as important as its actions.

Hello Readers,

We did not close any positions since the last Newsletter. Our Current Portfolio is feeling the effects of the recent market slaughter, particularly in the NASDAQ and Russell 2000 averages. Of course, the big bugaboos are nose-bleed oil and gasoline prices, and now rising interest rates are gaining more attention than they had been. The Fed is still following the previous chairman’s mind set, which is to raise rates in hopes of calming inflation. Doesn’t raising rates only fuel inflation, since this expense will also be factored into costs, which, in turn, leads to higher prices? A major key for the markets between now and the Fall is what the Fed does at its June meeting. It may not be pretty. Now, after having sounded like the Grim Reaper, the markets all too often take off during the darkest moments.

Hello Readers,

We did not close any positions since the last Newsletter, and we’re not overly surprised. For the last several weeks, the markets have been marking time, thanks to rising energy prices and with special emphasis on talk of $3 to $4 gasoline possible by year’s end. The oil companies blame the automakers and vice versa while the rest of us blame both. The markets are sorting all of this out, along with the spectre of even higher interest rates. For now, there appears to be a bump in the road.

Hello Readers,

Since the last Newsletter, we closed one position for a pretty nice gain.

ART TECHNOLOGY (8/5/03). Closed position 3/10/06 at $3.43 for a 67% GAIN.

Until we closed it, Art Technology had been our second oldest open position, one that we held onto even when the stock sank to around a dollar. We kept it for the simple reason that it usually maintained a pretty good balance sheet. However, we suspect that because of the volume, fundamentals did not have much to do with the stock’s recent surge; it was probably a favorite among some momentum players.

The first part of March was pretty choppy for the markets, as we feared it would be in the last issue. We’ve heard all sorts of reasons as to why, such as the Iranian nuclear controversy, higher oil prices, and higher interest rates looming over the horizon. But, it could have been some good old fashioned profit taking. However, we suspect that the main pall currently hanging over the market is a lack of confidence in our national leadership, on both sides of the aisle.

Hello Readers,

For the first time in 2006, we did not close any positions between Newsletters, but we are not overly upset, since many stocks in the Current Portfolio had some nice movement during the last few weeks. And, we will say this again, 2006 should be a pretty good year for the markets, barring unexpected incidents such as terrorism or acts of nature. However, we suspect that there is a pullback looming sometime, soon, because the Russell 2000 is up nearly 10% year-to-date. This usually suggests a little too much froth in the markets.
