Making Money When the Market Heads Lower
Today the S&P500 index was down over 1% and 6 Exchange Traded Funds that have been resting near their 52week lows all moved up.
This morning I read Doug Kass's latest column from Real Money after finding it referenced at BusinessInsider.com.
Kass was right today and if his prediction holds true for the next several months then the best investment returns can be found in the following Short Focused Exchange Traded Funds:
ProShares UltraShort Dow30
(NYSEArca: DXD) $53.36
ProShares Short MidCap400
(NYSEArca: MYY) $27.60
ProShares Short QQQ
(NYSEArca: PSQ) $25.76
ProShares UltraShort QQQ

ProShares UltraShort S&P500
(NYSEArca: SDS) $15.60
ProShares UltraShort Russell200

prices are as of 4/9/2012 close

Titan Machinery Unusual Volume With No News
The unusual volume on the morning of June 28,2013 looks like somebody saw this 8-K coming.
Chart from May through July 2013 (see volume before news
Titan Machinery (NASDAQ : TITN) is a very peculiar stock. The company has a market capitalization of nearly $300 million but the company's underlying fundamentals disclose a business that is on the brink of bankruptcy. Shares of the stock are being held and practically tied up by a group of major mutual funds that for some reason have added to their positions as the company's future becomes more and more in doubt.
Titan has a history of questionable related party transactions and a family member who has led underwriting from a boutique investment firm.
Questionable Accounting:
"in certain circumstances, n upon the customer's written request, equip revenue is recognized before delivery occurs"

Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc (NYSE: DKS) filed their 2nd Quarter financials this morning with the Securities & Exchange Commision and reported an Operational Cash Flow decline of 46% for the first 6 months of FY2012 vs. same period FY2011.
Equities Research also believes that this weakness could negatively effect Under Armour (NYSE: UA).
Equities Research continues to recommend Under Armour as a STRONG SELL since June 11,2012.
Titan Machinery (NASDAQ: TITN).
Equities Research issued a Strong Sell on the stock earlier this week. TITN has generated negative $300 million in operational cash for it's trailing 14 quarters and trades at a $500 million market capitalization.

Follow Insiders At Under Armour and SELL
August 14,2012
Under Armour (NYSE: UA) traded less than 1 million shares for the second consecutive day and closed yesterday @ $56.42. Since the company reported 2nd quarter financials on July 24th the stock is 16.62% higher. Increasing its market capitalization by nearly $900 million to $5.89 Billion. (Under Armour traded at an all time high on August 7th @ $58.48.)
- The company reported an increase in sales of $78 million while only adding a mere $427,000 in net income
- For 6 months 2012 the company increased sales by $149 million and only increased comprehensive net income by less than $900,000.
- The company has generated NEGATIVE FREE CASH FLOW for its trailing twelve months
- Operational Cash Flow for the prior 3 years (2009,2010,2011) has declined from $119 million to $50 million to $15million,respectively.
- Accounts Payable increased by $50 million vs. 1st Quarter
- Accrued Expenses increased by $19 million vs. 1st Quarter
- Total Liabilities (all current) increased by $69 million vs. the 1st Quarter
- Stockholders Equity increased by only $15 million vs. the 1st Quarter
Read : "Under Armour Special Effects" to learn more.
- The dilemma that Under Armour faces is that it only has $143 million in cash. That is not enough to pay off its Accounts Payable of $146 million and its current portion due of $42 million of its long term debt that was moved to its Current Liabilities section of its Balance Sheet in its first quarter ended March 31, 2012.
Below is a table from Yahoo finance showing daily volume with stock prices since company reported 2nd quarter financials on July 24th.
