Consumer Confidence Index
The latest readings on numerous economic indicators suggest that stock prices, in general, will continue to trend higher during the weeks ahead. For example, The Conference Board reported last Tuesday that its Consumer Confidence Index, which measures the economic sentiment of U.S. households, as well as their outlook for the U.S. economy six months into the future, rose during June to its highest level since January 2008. Separately, the U.S. Department of Commerce reported last Thursday that during May U.S. households continued to increase their spending on various types of household goods and services, albeit at a slower pace during each of the prior two months.

Stock market indices for most regions of the world were somewhat mixed last week, with the S&P 500 Index closing on June 27 down a mere 0.1%, while Japan’s NIKKEI 225 Index closed last Friday down 0.5% and China’s Shanghai composite Index closed the week up 0.5%, as compared to the prior week’s close. Meanwhile, India’s BSE Sensex Index ended the week essentially unchanged, while Brazil’s Bovespa Index declined 2.7%.

S&P 500 Index
Some more good news regarding the U.S. housing market was also announced last week, with the National Association of Realtors (“NAR”) reporting on June 23 that sales of previously-owned homes rose by 4.9% during May, and the Commerce Department reporting the following day that sales of newly-constructed homes rose by 18.6% during May, as compared to the prior month. With my research indicating that the NAR will announce on June 30 that contracts signed by prospective homebuyers to purchase a home within the next two months also rose during May, I’m projecting that sales of homes continued to rise during June. That would be a very positive development for the U.S. economy and U.S. stock prices because the economy and stocks tend to move in the same direction as home sales. Separately, my research indicates that the U.S. employment situation also improved during June. We’ll know later this week whether or not that was the case, with the U.S. Department of Labor scheduled to issue employment data for the month of June this coming Wednesday. As a result of the positive factors and developments mentioned above, I advise you to continue to hold all of the securities that compose our model portfolios. Week Ended June 29, 2014

Frazier’s Speculative Portfolio is structured for persons who seek to profit from short-term developments in the financial markets and/or from the substantial longer-term appreciation potential of cyclical and small-cap growth stocks. That portfolio seeks to outperform the S&P 500 Index by a wide margin over complete market cycles, meaning from the beginning of one bull (bear) market to the beginning of another bull (bear) market. We urge investors to establish some type of core investment portfolio before allocating any of their financial market assets to a speculative portfolio. Specifically, we recommend for investors to allocate at least 70% of their total financial market assets to some type of core investment portfolio, and no more than 30% of their total financial market assets to a speculative portfolio.

The percentage shown for each of the securities outlined in the table above represents the percentage of the total value of the portfolio that was allocated to the security on the date that the security was recommended for purchase. ** Year 2013 performance results are for the period from the official inception of Frazier’s Short-term Trading Portfolio on September 2, 2013 to December 31, 2013. (We made only one round-trip short-term trading recommendation during that period, which generated a 19.2% gain in only four days. 1
Although we made numerous short-term trading recommendations prior to the official inception of our Short-term Trading Portfolio on September 2, 2013, all of those prior recommendations were made via our Speculative Portfolio. Therefore, the provision of any “Since Inception” performance results for our Short-term Trading Portfolio would be misleading.
Frazier’s Short-term Trading Portfolio is structured for persons who seek to profit from very short-term movements in the prices of stocks, bonds, precious metals, and commodities. Frazier seeks to identify securities that he expects to generate a 10%-20% return for holding periods ranging from 1-30 days for the securities that he recommends for our Short-term Trading Portfolio. We urge financial market participants to establish some type of core investment portfolio before allocating any of their financial market assets to Frazier’s Short-term Trading Portfolio. Specifically, we recommend for financial market participants to allocate at least 70% of their total financial market assets to some type of core investment portfolio and no more than 10% of their total financial market assets to Frazier’s Short-term Trading Portfolio.
