Hello Readers,

The new year is off to a decent start for the markets, thanks to an 11th-hour tax deal where the congressional Republicans caved. Some of their reasoning was fear that the markets would see a huge sell off, if they failed to act. Who would have cared about the sell off? Markets go up and markets go down. If they had tackled the spending issues right then, when they had some great leverage, they probably would have gotten much of the spending cuts they wanted, and the markets would be on a major tear, right now. So, what do they do? They drag the nonsense out even more. Does the GOP really think that they will get any real spending cuts, now that they trashed their real leverage? Oh sure, they think the debt ceiling clock is on their side, but that strategy failed in the mid-nineties and we suspect it will fail, again.

Hello Readers,

To be succinct, 2012 was not a banner year for us. It wasn’t a bad year, but it fell short of what we expect from ourselves. During 2012, we closed 52 positions; 36 for gains and 16 for losses, if we count correctly. In previous years, it seems we have had more gains and fewer losses. The one bugaboo has been that for the last several years there has been a nice rally in big and mid-cap stocks while small caps, though not withering, have not kept the same pace. We feel that this has been due to the dominance of mutual funds, hedge funds, and ETFs, and other similar financial instruments, which have had little room for small stocks in their portfolio.

Hello Readers,

Since the last Newsletter we closed only one position for a very nice gain.

BIOMIMETRIC THERAPEUTICS (9/20/11). Closed position 11/19/12 at $7.34 for a 98% GAIN.

This seems to be happening more than usual as a big company swoops in on one of our Current Portfolio picks and its fun time! It was nice to get almost a 100% gain as Wright Medical acquired BioMimetric Therapeutics.

Hello Readers,

Between the market sell off and Hurricane Sandy, October was a lousy month. The market downturn, once again, battered our Current Portfolio, and, as many of you know, small stocks get banged up even more than large and mid-cap stocks during such periods. What will November bring for the markets? Who knows? Will Romney or Obama be better suited to fix the economy and prevent the Fiscal Cliff? A case can be made for both gentlemen, although Romney seems to have a better background for such challenges. Will Europe keep it together? Will the Fed’s QE Forever policy be ignored in favor of fundamentals? As shocking as this may seem, many market pros, such as fund managers, would prefer keeping Obama and the status quo of easy money.
