KDK Fund once a week will write about the week's performance, the thoughts on the future trades, and other financial information thought to be relevant to the account.
- IAU December $12.00 Put Trade - During the week, IAU dropped from a close of $12.13 last Friday to a close of $11.93 this Friday. The put price stayed the same at $0.20. There was positive news on the economic, employment, and manufacturing numbers that were instrumental in this week's drop. The likelihood of the drop continuing is high as the Federal Reserve meets on the 17th and 18th of December to discuss the possibility of tapering the $85 billion monthly QE. Gold is nearing the yearly low. There has not been a large volume day to indicate that a bottom has been reached. Technicals and fundamentals are suggesting a continuation of the down trend. There is still quite a bit of interest in the trade as the time value is higher than expected. Positives for gold include buying pressure from China. KDK Fund will continue with the trade as it is. The goal is still $1.00 for the put. The trade will end by December 20. The initial post of this trade can be found here.

Long Term Investments For 2014
Hello all
The fund has spent the last couple of months looking at what to invest in for 2014 and has come away with 5 companies. As of right now, the list includes Ford, Verizon, Costco, Google, and United Healthcare. The feeling is that this group of stocks provide a mix of strong dividend and stock price appreciation.
The fund is looking to invest in Ford primarily for its growth prospects. North American sales are good and Europe seems to be bottoming out. Ford also continues to be led by a very good management team and gives a 2%+ dividend (annual) in the third month of the quarter.
The fund is looking to invest in Verizon because of its leadership in the communications sector. It gives a 4%+ dividend (annual) in the second month of the quarter.
The fund is looking to invest in Costco because of its outstanding leadership and steady stock price growth. Costco gives a 1%+ dividend (annual) on the second month of the quarter.
The fund is looking to invest in Google because of its growth prospects in most of its product areas. Their innovative processes combined with their business plan execution shows a large promise of profit.
The fund is looking to invest in United Healthcare because of its growth prospects. The Affordable Care Act should help with new enrollment. The company gives a 1.5%+ dividend (annual) on the third month of the quarter.
All five of these companies have at least what can be considered strong balance sheets.
The trailing PE ratios are 11 for Ford, 20 for Verizon, 29 for Google, 13 for United Healthcare, and 26 for Costco.
Purchases will begin in January of next year. Purchases and sales of stock will go through Sharebuilder.
