The Housing Crisis And Wall Street Shame

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 19:04:49 GMT

One out of four homeowners is now under water, owing more on their homes than the homes are worth. Why? The biggest single factor behind the housing crisis is rising unemployment. According to the latest ABC-Washington Post poll, one out of every three Americans has either lost their job or lives in a household with someone who has lost a job. Today it takes two and sometimes three incomes to buy the groceries and pay the mortgage or the rent. So if one of those incomes is gone, a homeowner can't make the payment.[More...]

9 Dividend Stocks Sending More Cash To Shareholders

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 14:54:28 GMT

Option implied volatility (IV) on the video game software company Electronic Arts (NYSE:ERTS) rose slightly to 49% on Monday on the news that the company was buying a London-based social network game company called Playfish. Gosh, IV fell back to 40%. Implied volatility is widely believed to be informationally superior to historical volatility, because it is the "market's" forecast of future volatility. Higher the volatility higher is the chance of an upside or a downside on a stock and its option.[More...]

Tickers For The Latest Portfolio Reshaping

Fri, 04 Sep 2009 15:45:21 GMT

Fortunately my portfolio management methods don’t revolve around frequent trading. One of my kids came up to me recently and said, “What did you do today, Dad?” I said, “I made one trade, and I did a bunch of research.” He then asked, “How often do you trade?” I answered, “That was my first trade in a week, and I haven’t traded much in the last two months, but that’s not normal. There is no normal for me. When the market is really volatile, I trade a lot more, selling when stocks are rising, and buying when they are selling off. When the market is relatively placid, I don’t do much.” He looked at me, kind of smiled, and moved on. Information overload from Dad. Most people and investment managers trade too often. They sell their winners too rapidly, and panic too soon on their losers. Now, I’m not advocating “buy and forget,” or Buffett’s statement, “Our favorite holding period is forever.”[More...]

Large Scale Elliott and Fibonacci Insights On GE

Sat, 02 May 2009 17:13:14 GMT

Conglomerate General Electric (GE) has shown fascinating confluence via Elliott Wave and Fibonacci (as well as “Measured Move”) analysis. Let’s see what I mean and start the count from 2000 to present on the monthly chart. First, let’s see the simple AB=CD “Measured Move” (aka large bear flag) that has just hit its target: I’m using TradeStation’s Fibonacci Extension Tool (see my educational post “How to Project a Flag’s Measured Move“) to arrive at a final target. I start with the 2000 high, draw to the 2003 closing log and then draw up to the 2007 closing[More...]

The Day, New London, Conn., The Remote column: The Remote

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 16:06:00 GMT

Dec. 1--Presidential Address
President Prime Time is coming on to talk to us about Afghanistan.
My favorite part of the president's speech tonight is the fact that over on Fox, they are giving him only 30 minutes, whereas everyone else is giving him an hour.
