At "A Dash" we are advocates of a careful, balanced consideration of economic data. We accept the results whether they are hopeful or dismal. We do not shift our chosen indicators with the wind.

While we agree with his general point, there is a bit more to the story. Barry's opinions are quite important. The impact of financial blogs has increased, and he has the strongest voice, including his most recent accomplishment, the Gold Medal from an inv[More...]

A List of Best Performing Stocks Year to Date

Tue, 27 May 2008 01:16:00 GMT

Since we have a break in the action here, instead of doing our normal best performing stocks of the week (not many made the list this week due to a poor market), this is a good time to look at what is performing best so far this year. Further, due the composition of the list and with many of these stocks due for a correction it's probably worthwhile to take a look now, as things might change relatively soon. We looked at a similar list in early November (Nov 4: How to Make 75% in 3 Months) when the list was dominated by large cap Chinese stocks, a few big cap tech stocks, Indian stocks, and fertilizer. Except for fertilizer most of those groups stunk for the better part of the following 5 months, and hence "returned to the mean". However, the list did turn out a few gems we jumped on, so looking at such lists helps us to identify what has been working and what other[More...]

Questions Regarding the HP-EDS Merger

Fri, 16 May 2008 23:15:01 GMT

Headline-grabbing news last week regarding the Hewlett-Packard buyout of Electronic Data Systems prompted us to check in with Zacks senior technology analyst Steve Biggs, CFA, who covers both companies. We also found out which tech stocks he rates the strongest for the near term. Does Hewlett-Packard's buying out of EDS have any immediate impact on the tech sector overall, or does it mostly just make HP a bigger competitor versus IBM? With the addition of EDS (EDS), HP will have triple the size of its services business and become a much closer competitor to IBM ([More...]
