Hello Readers,

Since the last Newsletter, we closed three positions; two for gains and one for a loss.

LEXICON PHARMACEUTICALS (9/20/08). Closed position 9/15/09 at $3.55 for a 92% GAIN.

MIND CTI (2/5/06). Closed position 9/14/09 at $1.43 for a 56% LOSS.

RETRACTABLE TECHNOLOGIES (10/20/07). Closed position 9/1/09 at $2.92 for a 56% GAIN.

Two weeks ago, Lexicon was hovering at around $1.50 and then rocketed on news that the company had successfully completed a trial in patients for its drug canidate for Type 2 Diabetes. Many times, stocks just seem to have a “sugar rush” for no apparent fundamental reasons, and that appeared to be the case with Retractable Technologies as the stock roared nearly $2 in a single day. We closed MIND CTI for a loss.

The markets should have tanked many months ago, but, as we have said periodically, stocks have soared for no reason other than the fact that the Fed has kept interest rates at zero, forcing small investors, like us, to buy way-overpriced stocks, which is really a mass suicidal bet. When this ends, and it will, it will end ugly. What will ignite the sell-off of the current “equity bubble”? Pick one of any five dozen reasons. Chances are that the trigger will be some unforeseen flaw in the financial fabric that will open up all of the other sores. But, hey, this has been a good ride for our Current Portfolio, for the most part.

Hello Readers,

Since the last Newsletter, we closed three more positions; two for gains and one for a loss.

ENDWAVE (1/5/09). Closed position 8/27/09 at $3.41 for a 55% GAIN.

RODMAN & RENSHAW (3/20/08). Closed position 8/24/09 at $3.16 for a 58% GAIN.

EON COMMUNICATIONS (2/5/07). Closed position 8/24/09 at $1.46 for a 78% LOSS. (price reflects reverse split)

Endwave experienced “unusual trading activity” and the company didn’t have an explanation, and neither do we, and, with a 50%-plus gain, we don’t care. Back in March, Rodman & Renshaw sunk to 19 cents during the mini crash and we placed it on the “Endangered List”, but, a few months ago, the company began a comeback, as did many of the financial stocks: RODM is our all-time Lazarus pick! We closed Eon Communications for a loss.

Frankly, this rally has had us mystified and baffled. Never in our lifetime has there been such a disconnect between the markets and the realities on the ground. An economy cannot keep sustaining itself on massive government intervention and bailouts. No country in world history that has ever attempted this has ever succeeded in doing so. The markets now go gaga over economic reports that really are lackluster at best. The higher these markets go, the scarier things get. We are now convinced that the Fed has created a massive equity bubble fueled by zero interest rates, which have forced small investors into panic buying of way-overpriced stocks.

Hello Readers,

It’s summertime and there really is not a lot to say other than what we have been. The markets have been drifting down over the last month and we suspect this trend to continue for some time. Yes, there will be the occasional surges, but those will probably short-lived. We need to ask ourselves, “What is there to get them really refueled?” The simple answer is “not much”. Well-known financial analyst Meredith Whitney summed it up best, recently, when she said, “The economy needs to restructure and it isn’t, it is only buying time”. Buying time is never good for markets, at least over the long haul.
