The CD rates thus far in 2013 have been terrible.  We would only consider Ally Bank or this week VirtualBank's CD offers.  We did find a 1.3% APY offer but there's a catch.

This week Mastery found opportuinity in Crocs Inc (CROX), WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity Fund (DXJ), Reynolds American Inc (RAI), and AbbVie Inc (ABBV).  We aren't sure if the rally in equities will continue and we believe the line-up just mentioned provides diversity for your portfolio.  Enjoy the weekend Masters and thank you for reading.

Zillow Inc. (Z) shares were crushed this week to the tune of almost one-third of their values.  Despite the Zillow jump off Mastery believes it could be a great opportunity to buy on weakness. Silver via the iShares Silver Trust (SLV) makes a compelling trade and we review the latest Obama Stock Picks.  Stocks that could benefit with four more years of Obama include Smith & Wesson Holding Corp. (SWHC), First Solar (FSLR), Vanguard Health Systems Inc. (VHS), and more. We review the week a la 1897 Beastie Boys.

Quiet week except for silver and its silver mining companies. Besides SLV, SSRI there could be something left in AMD (AMD) but its a risky trade.  Nokia (NOK) jumped big time since we recommended it.  Let's review the week and relive the glory of MCA.

Highlights of a rather boring trading week included the following:
