Janel World Trade (OTCBB:JLWT, $0.33)
52 Week Trading Range Price: $0.25-$0.85

Recent Seeking Alpha report noted:"Janel World Trade, however, has apparently yet to be discovered, as the stock price is at its 52-week lows of $0.25 (JLWT price on Dec. 22 is $0.30). At this late juncture in the year, tax loss selling is most likely a contributing factor to the recent weakness, as there has been no negative news. However, the company has pre-announced that its soon-to be-released fourth quarter and annual report for 2010 (ended Sept. 30) will show a minimum of $87 million in revenue (a record year)." JLWT Annual Report for 2010 is expected before end of year.

Buying Stocks Weak from Tax Loss Selling


It is well-documented that a good hunting ground for stocks that could jump after the first of the year are stocks that have seen much higher prices during the past year, but which have declined over the past few months from either a one-time bad news event, under-followed, etc.

The stocks above all have good or improving fundamentals, yet are either near their 52 week lows or significantly off their highs due to an understandable incentive by current shareholders trying to manage their tax bill to Uncle Sam this April.

How do you reduce your tax bill from already realized capital gains? Sell weak stocks in your portfolio--sometimes regardless how weak they have gotten in the last few days of the year.

How do you profit from this annual phenomenon? Identify stocks with fundamentals that may attract bottom fishers once tax loss selling is over. And it IS over on January 3. At the very least, put these stocks on your "Watch List" for news and/or increasing trading volumes and attractive charts. Quick trading profits of 20-100% are possible using this one time a year trading strategy.
