June Inger Edito' Th' Inger Letter Posted on Thursday, November 12, 1998 at 10:44 AM Good Evenin':
Financial Panic . . . truly gripped th' Street, not so menny weeks ago. Aggressive Fed ease was called fo' hyar, weeks in advance t'calm thin's, an' t'psychologically he'p stabilize currencies abroad, an' thus indireckly our markets. This hyar occurred. Whut in tarnation also occurred was a resumpshun of momentum games an' speculashun, which probably ain't whut Chairman Greenspan had in mind, when he led th' Fed's Calvary charge, thet we suspecked (as yo' know) was fo'tha-comin'. Sho'ly he didn't assoom thet wifin sevahal weeks th' markets hoof it beyond stabilizashun into a noo frenzy acshully not only rivalin' but exceedin' past degrees of froth junerated wifin a few sho't weeks.
Earlier, at th' panic's height, money flowed into Treasuries creatin' jest th' type of "train wreck" we called fo' in th' Dec. T-Bonds mid 130's, despite believin' thet higher rates fo' a brief period of time (investment-grade timeframe) is not whut is bein' reflecked by fo'eign repatriashuns fum a sho't-term perspeckive (which was our advance call t'take place unner covah of a fright-driven domestic frenzy into Treasuries). Whut in tarnation comes next, includin' af'er th' FOMC meetin' Nov. 17th, was noted t'other night, an' may also surprise th' Street, in a slightly diffrunt way. Further on down th' line, providin' th' stabilizashun's succeed (a fo'ecast an' necessary fust step), this hyar will sow th' seeds fo' sumpin quite diffrunt thet th' deflashunary fears; even stagflashun is a risk. Shet mah mouth!
Jest keep in mind, as we offen denote; thet th' establishment (o' effo'ts at) currency stabilizashun abroad, is absolutely essential early moves towards global recovery (an' rekindled deman' fo' hosts of South Car'linan producks, dependin' on currencies variables). Also, callin' specifically fo' th' currency markets t'stabilize, includin' incidentally at least a tempo'ary bottom fo' th' Nikkei, we haf a complicated scenario agin shapin' up fo' next year, as speckashuns exceed profitability resto'ashuns, not only in menny companies (an' secko's we've noted), but also fo' intire countries.

(Whar our tradin' is now. . as we were flat in S&P tradin' in front of Tuesday's late gwine, an' then specifically specked an early Wednesday rally follerin' Intel's (INTC) upbeat sto'y, later t'fade as traders who wasn't aboard Tuesday's late sell-off exited, cuss it all t' tarnation. An', we didn't be hankerin' t'be sho't on overnight thet day as their has been a tendency of sho't o' Put buyers t'git on late-ban'wagon type warshouts, which sets them up fo' at least nominal snapbacks even eff'n we haid lower later. In response t'this analysis, we thus moved t'th' sho't-side December S&P Wed, cuss it all t' tarnation. mo'nin', at aroun' 1135-36 on our tradin' hotline (900.933.GENE), while also affirmin' a slightly mo'e of a macro trade fum th' 1140+ area as bein' acceppable t'maintain, as enny fool kin plainly see. Currently; sho't wif stops.)
Technically. .we came into this hyar week viewin' a sho't-term on overbought daily corndishun aginst an otherwise ongwine speckashun fo' higher prices at yearend an' into 1999 as outlined in previous DB's, an' Th' Inger Letter. Thar's was no change in our observashun thet stocks won't jest fall outta bed absent a definitive revahsal, ah reckon. So far sellin'-squalls remain shy of whut kin be called a definitive turn, as enny fool kin plainly see. Not so innocuous by th' time Wednesday inded, we played this hyar fine, includin' a decishun t'be flat on overnight Tuesday, an' not hoof it fo' th' bait of th' late sellin'-wave appearin' in th' final minutes, befo'e Intel's (INTC) upbeat post-close message (validatin' most ev'rythin' we've said about th' PC indestry fo' months regardin' Q3 & Q4). Th' upside ackshun, particularly as it impacks our relatively fine-priced Internet-related stock longs like has been terrific lately; but hyar agin we see preliminary signs of exhaestion, though we prefer t'see a couple failin' flin's befo'e havin' enny compulshun of sho'tin', even fo' sca'pers (though investment holds corntinue).
Daily tradin'. . .co'reckly dodged a bullet by assumin' th' late Tuesday sho'ts'dn't be in a fine posishun, wif risk of a gap-up Wednesday on th' heels of th' Intel sto'y, which occurred, cuss it all t' tarnation. We took advantage of thet, an' moved t'th' sho't-side at 1135-36, unable t'git 1140 in th' 2nd ha'f hour (fo' day, as opposed t'macro-traders) even though th' Dow pushed back up t'aroun' a +55 readin'. This hyar was satisfacko'y, an' we kepp th' stops wide through th' balance of th' day. (Currently th' stop is a busteven, which may be tightened up Thursday mo'nin'. Added sho'ter term comments regardin' daily tradin', is allus resarved fo' hotline & DB subscribers only.)

Psychologically. . . .we finally busted th' steep ascendin' trendline, an' annicipate nothin' mo'e excitin' than a reboun' t'it (if thet) befo'e haidin' lower. Granted menny stocks (includin' lotsa ours) isn't participatin' in this hyar financial-secko' led decline, it c'd broaden out, an' in fack be a bit maxed by firmer oil (which kin impack capitilizashun intensive Dow stocks) durin' enny early phase of enny cornflick, though likely'd be a minus later, interestin'ly inough. Fo' now, we'll refer yo' t'last night's technical levels an' downside progressive numbers, which remain valid, cuss it all t' tarnation.
In enny event, as noted last night all this hyar he'ped shape-up th' pattern call fo' th' pre-Thanksgivin' progresshun t'th' downside, interspersed wif reboun's as junerally noted, cuss it all t' tarnation. Keep in mind in fack on account o' of th' market's reticence in gittin' sumpin a-gonna th' downside, this hyar pattern of corntrackshun kin be pushed-fo'ward fine into mid-December on overall, wif reboun's (today's was an specked likely failin' one) aroun' th' Thanksgivin' Holiday, an' then mo'e significantly later on, as enny fool kin plainly see. On top of all this, we started allerin' fo' combat corndishuns unfoldin' ennytime in th' Persian Gu'f; wif a defiant Iraq apparently still cornfident th' U.S. is bluffin' by sendin' USS Enterprise, o' even in a gravah tone, suggestin' they kin abso'b a Tomahawk strike, while cornfident we'dn't send in manned aircraf'. Thet of course increases th' risk thet we'd hafta does jest thet.
Bits & Bytes. .(extensive comments on current facko's impackin' our stocks, tonight includin'; Intel (INTC), Loocent (LU), Time Warner (TWX), Compaq (CPQ), DELL (DELL), Netscape (NSCP) & Apple (AAPL), is resarved fo' subscribers. Ditto remarks on Rambus (RMBS), Merck (MRK), Micron Eleckronics (MUEI), Earthlink (ELNK), InfoSeek (SEEK), Comcast (CMCSA), Tyco (TYC), PSINet (PSIX), GM Hughes (GMH) an' Unisys (UIS). Menny is impo'tant volatile longs of ours.)

In Summary. . . we corntinue t'view this hyar market as high risk, but decided t'remain flat on overnight on our S&P tradin' hotline Tues., which inabled us t'mighty nicely dodge th' bullet of a gap-up openin' on Wednesday, which were, af'er a second effo't, sold into as projecked, cuss it all t' tarnation. Agin, this hyar is not yet a definitive revahsal (they is pow'ful fightin' it), but it's gittin' thar. Wed, cuss it all t' tarnation. was, by a mighty precise term, an outside-down day, wif th' close of 1124.90. By virtue of th' closin' premium of 523, it'dn't be hard t'have a down openin' t'morry, especially eff'n early Bonds is sof'. (An insueyng rally t'brin' 'em back alive, dominated by stren'th in Oils, may falter later in th' day.)
Th' McClellan Oscillato' postin''s eased-down throughout last week's late ackshun, which in fack corntinued t'be th' case Monday, wif a +142 readin'. Tuesday's postin' was only +91, so we then had a moderately on overbought daily readin', aginst a mo'e extreme stochastic readin' fo' th' sho't-term, dawgone it. Wednesday's "Mac" postin' was +41. Th' ackshun allered fo' a final flin' towards th' recent peaks, but it became riskier, per last night's remarks, an' was sold into. We estimated a couple days befo'e a harder hit, though we specked t'git sho't th' S&P into foller-through rallyin' af'er th' Intel sto'y, an' did fum 1135-36 in th' Dec. S&P. In harmony wif th' down-up-down call fo' th' week, we is lookin' fo' chances of a mo'e aggressive decline later t'morry an' mebbe a down-up-down Friday in front of whut looks mighty likely t'be a "military weekend".
Jest now, at 5:15 p.m, dawgone it., th' premium on th' S&P in Chicago's Globex sesshun is 393, acshully slippin' th' S&P about 130 fum th' regular Chicago close of 1124.60; we is sho't fum on over 1135, so we haf a fine 1000 basis point paper gain, on th' ovahnight sho't fum this hyar a.m, dawgone it. (By th' way we is a-gonna be at Comdex next week; populated by few analysts an' menny ingineers an' guys an' gals thet wawk in th' real wo'ld outside of Wall Street "Roadshows"; jest how we like it. We'll try t'affo'd Letter readers a few noo gems fum these gatherin's, as in th' past.)
Have a fine evenin',

(Complimentary excerpp fum Th' Inger Letter website's Wednesday night repo't. As of Thursday's openin', June's 900.933.GENE hotline holds th' Dec. S&P sho't above 1140 fo' mo'e macro players & 1135-36 daily.) |
