15 Stocks Having ATough Quarter But Worth A Look

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 05:06:38 GMT

The S&P 500 ended moved into the green in May and has never looked back. So far in Q3, it's up a whopping 16.8%, even better than Q2's 15.9% total return. Despite the large advance, 40 of the members are actually down QTD. Thinking that there might be some opportunities from the long side, I wanted to take a closer look, so I created a screen in StockVal to narrow the list. Here is how I constrained the group:[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...]

Where’s The Value?

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 14:30:00 GMT

The summer of 2009 is drawing to a close and as a number of us return from holidays and vacations our attention can once again be directed towards the stock market, our investment portfolios and the prospects of investing over the remainder of the year. The problem so far in 2009 is that despite a huge amount of volatility earlier in the year the rest has been...well...pretty dry. Stocks, corporate bonds and mutual funds have all appreciated off their lows and a lot of investors are scratching their heads wondering where the value is in this current environment. When you look at most measures of quantitative value such as price to earnings (P/E), price to book (P/B) or dividend yield there are a lot of stocks that don’t appear cheap and the ones that are cheap are inexpensive for a very good reason; a poor investment. It’s at times like this that I look towards my discipline of investing in Enduring Value for[More...]

Low Yield Dividend Stocks – What Does It Mean?

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 00:10:47 GMT

In last few weeks, I have looked at dividend stocks (aristocrats and achievers) that have dividend yields of less than 2%. There is a school of thought among dividend crowd that low dividend yields will take more than 10, 12, or even 15 years to match income from high yielding CDs or money market accounts. Furthermore, when low yield dividend stocks are compared to high yield dividend stocks, considering conservative dividend growth rates, low yielding stocks will often lag by significant amount. I agree that, mathematically, there is no argument for low yielding dividend stock providing lower income. Purely based on numbers, it is always good to[More...]

Becton to Buy Ann Arbor's HandyLab

Sat, 24 Oct 2009 18:46:00 GMT

Oct. 24--Ann Arbor-based HandyLab Inc. on Friday became the second University of Michigan spin-off firm to be acquired by a multinational company within the last 12 months.
The deal, whose terms were not disclosed, represents a victory for the state's small but growing venture capital industry since most of HandyLab's major investors are Michigan venture capital firms.
"It's the quintessential Michigan venture deal," said Jan Garfinkle, managing director of Ann Arbor-based Arboretum Ventures, one of HandyLab's investors.
