Dividend Stocks Proving That Not All Dividends Are At rRsk

Mon, 02 Feb 2009 15:35:00 GMT

2008 was the year that brought a ton of dividend cuts in the financial sector. Banks like Comerica, Bank of America, Citigroup, Regions Financial and First Third Bank cut dividends several times, which jeopardized the incomes of many retirees. 2009 so far brought a second round of dividend cuts from Bank of America and Comerica. Even pharmaceuticals giant Pfizer had to cut its dividend in half after announcing its acquisition of rival Wyeth. Investors are constantly bombarded with news about[More...]

Best Performing Stock of 2008

Mon, 29 Dec 2008 13:58:00 GMT

I used to, and will one day return, to posting the best performing stocks of the week - but the wicked volatility and "student body left" trading of the past 4 months has made it a moot point. Everything must either be bought or sold, as stocks are either deemed "good" or "bad" that hour, day, or month. The herd piles in, or piles out - regardless of sector, style, fundamentals. It's been a market of asset allocation not individual stocks much of the back half of the year. I like to look for relative strength and ride sector/company trends for the longer term - this market is not for that sort of investor. This has been for many months a run and gun daytrader environment; not a place for theme investors. With that said, I am always curious to see what stocks held up over the long run... folks, no matter what happens (short of 8%+ rally here in the next 3 days) we are projecting the worst year in the markets at least since the[More...]

What percentage of stocks have a negative return over their lifetime? 3. What percentage of stocks lose essentially all of their value? Not sure? The answers to all three questions are below. Want to know why a [More...]

Stocks Continue The Selloff With Volume Finally Picking Up On The Selling

Fri, 21 Nov 2008 04:00:00 GMT

Today can be called nothing other than nasty as most of the indexes made round trips back to either six-year or eleven-year lows, following a nasty selloff that came on very heavy volume. Volume picked up on every exchange as finally some signs of panic selling hit the market. This selling took the markets off around 5% to 6% and a lot of stocks were just walloped. Now while I have continued to talk about the nasty downtrend this market is in and how well my shorts have been doing: top short holdings and total returns: IPHS 44% POT 65% GGB 72% SBAC 66% CYT 69% MOS 74% CETV 89% CPRT 28% AZO 24% RDK 17% AMX 49% PLCE 38% CAJ 34% SPG 52% CEO 51% AAPL 50% ENB 24% K 18% ARB 67% AMSG 20% SPW 77% RIMM 58% LLL 37% CEDC 65% APD 55% OKE 46% SDA 80% TITN 59% PAA 28%). I don’t believe I have seen the market in such a bleak condition in a long time and think I need to tell you about the lack of bullish items out there. To start it all off only 3% of[More...]

Marin's Dairies in Crisis As Costs Skyrocket

Sun, 09 Aug 2009 13:49:00 GMT

Aug. 9--By 10:30 a.m. on a normal day, rancher Joseph Mendoza Jr. would have checked the cattle in his mating pens, made sure all 490 cows had been milked, examined them for health problems and begun a long afternoon of entering feeding and breeding data into his computer.
"I worked with those cows for 45 years," said Mendoza, 65, who sold his entire herd at the end of June.
"It was not an easy thing to do, I guarantee it.
