No trades were done within the focus stock portfolio this past week.

It doesn’t come as a surprise that the portfolio took a 1.25% hit to the crotch today. The biggest losers were [[CLF]], [[TTEK]], and [[BIG]]. However, I remain steadfast with these, though bearish on the general market.

Despite being bearish on the general market, there still is opportunity in selected sectors and stocks related to energy and materials. Stick with the basic theme. Generally, if it’s black and found in the ground, it’s probably a good bet. It’s just that simple. Don’t make things complicated.

All in all, this group of stocks gained  3.43 % for the week.
