Earnings Review Of Note Monday-Tuesday

Mon, 27 Apr 2009 11:59:36 GMT

Some names I am looking at early this week Monday Fund holdings - Baidu.com (BIDU) and First National Financial (FNF). The former broke through the 200 day moving average Thursday but I cut it down to 1 share on super froth. The latter has been stagnat the past 8 days, with each day an intraday low hitting the 50 day moving average. Very strange. I cut back a bit to a 2.5% stake since I have double jeopardy in these guys with FNF and FAF. I expect good things but the stock action has been weak"ish" and this is the more expensive of the two - not that[More...]

Second Bullish Intraday Reversal In-A-Row Comes On Lower Volume; For The Week, Stock Indexes Pullback On Higher Volume

Sun, 18 Jan 2009 19:42:00 GMT

It was a fitting end to a week that saw emotions pull dramatically at first to the bear side then to the bull side before the week came to end. Today, like yesterday, saw the market selloff early on only to see the bulls pull out an amazing display of confidence as indexes reversed and closed in the green on both Thursday and Friday’s trading session. The same market action that was seen on Thursday and Friday was also seen this week during the past five session. Stocks started the week on a very weak note, sending me from 11 small longs to 5 smaller longs as some recent stocks that I went long gave me signals that they were not ready to blast off and make runs higher quickly. But there was a slight hint that the turn down might not last long. What was that hint? It was the fact that I could only generate ONE NEW short position during the first three days of this very weak week. The Nasdaq fell 5.2% but I only had ONE NEW short that setup in what I[More...]

Hedge Fund Best Ideas and Consensus Follow-Up

Thu, 15 Jan 2009 21:00:00 GMT

In late 2006 I proposed tracking a portfolio of 10 hedge fund managers I considered to be great stockpickers. In sounded good to me in theory, but I always like to let the data speak for itself so I then went and backtested two strategies based on their 13F filings. Top Holdings - This selected the top 2 holdings from each manager to form a portfolio of 20 holdings. Consensus - This selected the most popular ten holdings among the managers. The ten managers were: Baupost Group Blue Ridge Capital Warren Buffett Eminence Capital Greenlight Capital Lone Pine Capital Maverick Capital Okumus Capital Private Capital Tiger Global This process literally took me and a co-worker a month to complete by hand. I found that these two naive strategies of[More...]

Five Ideas For 2009

Fri, 02 Jan 2009 03:13:00 GMT

I thought I would summarize a few ideas mentioned on World Beta over the past few months as potential trading ideas based on some simple quant research. 1. Follow a simple tactical asset allocation model. With returns near flat the model performed admirably in 2008 - look for an update to the white paper with out-of-sample numbers sometime in late January. The model is currently 100% in cash/bonds. 2. Look for a particularly pronounced January Effect in beaten down microcaps. I found that following the worst 10 years in stocks since 1927, the average return for microcaps in January was around 18% with no down years. An investor could either go long[More...]

Let the Tiger Cubs Manage Your Portfolio

Mon, 22 Dec 2008 16:21:00 GMT

If you had to name the top hedge fund managers ever, Julian H. Robertson would certainly be on the list. Robertson successfully ran the Tiger Funds for many years, and an entire book is written about Robertson (Julian Robertson: A Tiger in the Land of Bulls and Bears). The Tiger Funds reached a peak of $22 billion in assets in 1998. After many years of strong outperformance, Robertson suffered large losses and while the S&P 500 index climbed 21% in 1999, Tiger declined 19%. Tiger’s largest equity holding at that time was U.S. Airways, whose troubles dragged down Tiger's overall returns. As a result of such missteps, Robertson closed his investment company in March 2000 and liquidated the remaining $6 billion in investments. After[More...]

Nice Rally Today Too Bad It Was On Below Average Volume

Thu, 04 Dec 2008 01:05:00 GMT

Today’s rally, while it probably made you feel all nice and warm on the inside, was still as cold as the grips of a long term bear market. Why? The leadership, silly. The leaders are all still coming from groups that reside in the bottom 25% of industry groups. When you have a real bull market from a bottom you can be FOR SURE that the top 25% of industry groups based on price performance will be leading the way. Right now, there is only one area of leadership, and I am sorry folks that is not going to cut it. That group is the education stocks which are being helped by the only recent IPO out there in LOPE. Besides that we really do not have any amazing group leading. Business Services is such a diversified area that while some stocks look great some look horrible. The facts of a bull market show that in a real bull market rally leading stocks in leading groups help lead the market higher. What we could have here is a bear market[More...]

Stocks Resume Selloff As Distribution Day Rattles Investors Who Bought Last Weeks LAME Rally

Tue, 02 Dec 2008 05:33:00 GMT

Do people not pay attention to volume at all? I am starting to begin they don’t after listening to all the typical talking loud-mouths this weekend. They all clamored and were happy the indexes were up 15% to 20% last week. Yet not a single person anywhere mentioned that volume was lower and lower each day as the rally went along. They also did not mention that we were right near/at the 50 day moving averages which are in a downtrend on all the indexes. Leaving these two key facts out made anything they said irrelevant. There was always a possibility of waking up and seeing a market running away today but the truth is this market is predictable yet insanely impossible to trade unless you are a daytrader. After my initial short positions before the selloff really started, things have been harder to manage as shorts are not going down in a smooth line like they should in a bear market. This is making for a very difficult trading environment and why unless[More...]

Dell dials up smartphones, ex-Motorola exec

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 18:50:00 GMT

Nov. 13--Dell Inc. confirmed Friday its long-rumored plans to get into smartphones, a new business for the computer maker that is being led by Motorola Inc.'s former mobile phone chief.
"Our entry into the smartphone category is a logical extension of Dell's consumer product evolution over the past two years," Ron Garriques, president of Dell's Global Consumer Group, said in a statement.
Garriques' role at Dell was a newly created post, and his arrival fostered speculation that the Texas-based computer maker would be delving into mobile phones.

The Dallas Morning News Steve Brown Column: Calatrava Bridge Isn't Only City Project to Be Delayed

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 15:49:00 GMT

Aug. 29--In December 2005, government officials and dignitaries gathered on the banks of the Trinity River to kick off construction on a city landmark.
But almost three years after the groundbreaking ceremony, there's nothing to show for Dallas' first grand Calatrava bridge but a few steel supports in the muddy river bottom.
If that were not bad enough, now comes word that the project will be delayed further, and it will be sometime in 2011 before the arching white bridge spans the Trinity.

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 09:50:00 GMT

Aug. 26--If the dispute between Americatel and El Salvador's dominant telecommunications company were a boxing match, Americatel should have won a knockout.
Americatel El Salvador won an arbitration against Compania de Telecommunicaciones de El Salvador -- or CTE -- to allow greater access to the Salvadoran market.
The company has appealed the arbitration decision all the way to the Supreme Court in El Salvador and is taking the U.S. bout to the federal appeals court in Atlanta.
