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...]

AmerisourceBergen Corporation: Increase the “Health” of your Portfolio by David Fessler, Advisory Panelist Several weeks ago, we focused on the distribution side of the health care industry as yet another overlooked area that should continue to do well during our economic downturn.

The Middle 8:30 p.m., ABC I had enjoyed the premiere of this Patricia Heaton sitcom, but decided not to watch because I felt that in too many ways, this barely-hanging-on middle class family's situations too closely mirrored my own.
Last week's episode perfectly answered all those questions, and I'm guessing tonight brings back the LOL, as Manny takes up fencing.
