November 5, 2008: Clean Up When Funds Clear Out

Wed, 05 Nov 2008 21:50:00 GMT

Money managers clean up portfolio holdings before the end of their tax year. Over 48%of US mutual funds close their books between late October and December. Managers sell stocks with large losses to avoid reporting them on their year-end report to shareholders. This causes downward pressure on stocks trading within their portfolio(s)that are at or near 52-week lows. Once the selling subsides, these stocks have historically experienced a price reversal. That said, investors should exercise due diligence before buying any of the companies listed below by analyzing any potential shift in a company's fundamentals and other factors such as sector weight and risk tolerance. Here are the screen parameters used to select the following "sells" from funds: Large-cap and mid-cap stocks trading at or below 30% of their 52-week high and have not bounced above 15% from their 52-week low,and have above-average valuation on both an absolute and[More...]

West Brightens New Home Sales - Analyst Blog

Mon, 27 Oct 2008 22:37:00 GMT

This morning's new home sales report was moderately encouraging as overall new home sales rose in September to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 464,000, up 2.7% from August's rate of 452,000 but down 33.1% from last year's rate of 694,000.? Unlike housing starts, a rise in new home sales is a good thing since it helps clear out the huge inventory overhang. ? Total inventories (not seasonally adjusted) fell to 396,000 from 422,000 in August and 527,000 a year ago.? On a monthly basis, the improvement was slightly more significant in the number of completed homes for sale, which were down 7.1%.? On a year-over-year basis, though, the improvement there has been much more muted, down just 11.0%.? The combination of slightly rising sales on a monthly basis and falling inventories have helped push the months supply figure down to 10.4 months from 11.4 months in August.? The August figure had been the highest sine 1982.? The figure is still well above[More...]

Commercial real estate agents go from callous to collegial

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 16:47:00 GMT

Nov. 22--As a neophyte commercial real estate broker eight years ago, Kenny Anderson got used to the who's-this-new-punk sneers from fellow real estate pros.
The business of leasing and selling offices and shopping centers in Tampa Bay was so lucrative that brokers weren't above driving an elbow into the ribs.
At a recent "commercial property pitch session," hosted by the Florida Gulf Coast Commercial Association of Realtors, Anderson and about 30 fellow Realtors shared coffee from big cardboard boxes and bagels cut into quarters to make them go further.
