		The Week Ahead... and an Alternative Tactic for Traders   by Rob Goldman     This week is what I refer to as the "Compass of the Stock Market."  This compass will tell us the direction of the market going forward this quarter. This last week of January will feature no fewer than 130 members of the S&P 500 Index reporting their quarterly financials, beginning with Caterpillar (NYSE - CAT) Monday before the market open and Apple (NASDAQ - AAPL) after the market close. Other notable companies reporting this week include Visa (NYSE -V) and ExxonMobil (NYSE - XOM).     Make no mistake. The results themselves, the future guidance proclaimed by these companies' management teams, and how all of the information is digested by Wall Street will serve as a major aspect of the market's direction for this quarter. Interestingly, the S&P 500 Index is down around 1% or so on a year-to-date basis while the primary small-cap index, the Russell 2000, is up incrementally.  This is odd due to the fact that the consensus sentiment is that large-cap stocks are undervalued relative to small caps. Perhaps institutional investors are waiting to see confirmation of strong financial results before going all-in ... or conversely, are prepared to sell if the numbers disappoint.   To read more click here >> or visit http://www.thestockjunction.com   VISIT OUR SPONSOR   The One Stock to Own in 2014 -- The Year Mobile Takes Over   On Dec. 31, something incredible happened. For the first time in history, the majority of Internet traffic originated NOT from PCs or desktops -- but from mobile devices including smartphones and tablets. We're never going back. Mobile is taking over. And even though the biggest player in mobile, Apple, is selling over 200 million iPhones this year alone... here at Wyatt Research, we're recommending the one company no one is talking about. The one reaping massive profits each time a new Apple or Samsung smartphone is activated. In fact, as mobile data usage explodes in the year ahead, its stock is set to soar! Shares are already on the move.

No, there is no ETF or vehicle that represents a series of small public or private businesses in disparate businesses and domiciled all over this great nation. Still, considering that the consensus expectation is that the small business owner will increase spending for the first time in years; investors should seek out exposure to this segment.   According to our due diligence, the best way to play this trend is to buy shares of NASDAQ-listed Newtek Business Services, Inc. (NASDAQ - NEWT - $3.31), which seems to be the perfect proxy for small businesses.   To read more click here >> or visit http://www.thestockjunction.com
