The Chairman’s Circle Weekly Briefing
There are only so many shopping days left ’til Christmas, so I hope you’re checking off your list at a rapid rate.
If not, don’t panic too much. That’s what gift cards are for, right? After all, they always come in the right size and color…
Rather like the returns you should be enjoying on the recommendations made by our array of exceptional investment gurus.
In the last week, four of our VIP services wrapped up gains and five raised stops on jumping profits.
Just to name a few, Chief Investment Strategist Alexander Green’s True Value Alertbooked another 275% on its Alcoa calls, while he scored big again with a 155% gain in The Insider Alert. Better yet, there’s still room to play the latter position out since Alex only directed followers to sell half of their holdings.
Then there’s Sean Brodrick’s Gold & Resource Trader, which featured two new positions on which to book future profits…
Thanks to the chilling temperatures that have swept across much of the country – and are likely to keep coming as the winter officially gets going late next week – Sean sees natural gas prices moving in a bullish pattern.
So naturally, he’s positioning his followers to capitalize on that trend early on.
All in all, despite the market drops we saw over the last five days, we’re sitting quite comfortably on a whole host of well-situated investments that will not only ensure we have some very happy holidays… but give us a cheery start to the New Year ahead as well.
Sincerely,
Jeannette Di Louie
Chairman’s Circle Liaison
The Oxford Bond Advantage
Editor: Steve McDonald
Our Navios bonds have been called. The call price should be around 104.4, the coupon was 8.875% and we bought the bond onApril 3 of this year. Based on this month’s call, our return is the interest from 4/3/13 of about $59. We paid right around the call price. That’s not a great return, but it’s still a respectable 5.68%, annualizing to 8.875%.

The Emerging Trends Trader
Editor: Matthew Carr
PC Connection (Nasdaq: PCCC) hit a new 52-week high of $24.18 on Monday, followed by a special dividend of $0.40 per share. With today’s action, that takes our gain to over 50%. If it stays that high or continues upwards until our projected exit date, it will mark our fourth such close this year.
Gold and Resource Trader
Editor: Sean Brodrick
New Recommendation: The ProShares Ultra DJ-UBS Natural Gas (NYSE: BOIL) targets twice the daily performance of the Dow Jones-UBS Natural Gas Subindex. Basically, BOIL is a double-down bet that natural gas prices will head higher as most indicators point to. Buy 80 shares at $41.60 or better, good till canceled. Set a close-only, trailing stop at $35.
New Recommendation: Antero Resources Corp. (NYSE: AR) is a significantly sized natural gas producer that went public in October. It owns properties in the Appalachian Basin, and is a pure-play operator with a vast inventory of un-booked resources and consistent reserve growth. Production from its Marcellus and Utica shale wells is expected to rise 76% next year and 47% in 2015. Buy 50 shares at market. Set a close-only, trailing stop just under $52.
Cliffs Natural Resources (NYSE: CLF) traded below our protective stop. Sell at market.
