Indexes Do Not Tell The Tale Of Damage

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 20:27:15 GMT

First, pardon all the trading today - some days just require it. I'm already exhausted and its only 2 PM. Second, we've been saying the indexes are not reflecting the carnage seen "underneath" - my watch lists are full of names in the $500M to $5B market cap space which is my sweet spot, and it looks like September 2008 . Here is a sampling of what is really happening when you move away from McDonalds, IBM, Walmart, and Microsoft.[More...]

Six Things I learned From The Financial Crisis

Wed, 02 Sep 2009 13:22:00 GMT

I started blogging about dividend growth stocks in January 2008; right around the time the market started its slide. Fast forward 18 months and we have seen it all: from companies which were once deemed too big to fail and which were later acquired for pennies on the dollar to the blowups of several prominent pyramid schemes and hedge funds. Back in early 2008 most investors were not fully aware of the dangers that the real estate implosion would have on the overall economy. Some aggressive investors lost much more than S&P 500 in 2008 due to their heavy concentration in certain sectors built at the highs of the market, use of excessive leverage and chasing “broken companies” which offered suspiciously high yields, which proved unsustainable.[More...]

Garmin Stock Navigating To A Huge Day

Wed, 05 Aug 2009 17:48:56 GMT

Personal navigation device maker Garmin Ltd. (GRMN) has been one of the worst stocks for long investors to hold over the last year and a half. The stock traded for about $90 per share in January of 2008, but had steadily declined at a pace much worse than even the poor performance of the S&P 500 or the Nasdaq. The difficulties were many over this period, as the rise of smart phones with GPS mapping features already installed have became ever more popular. Garmin has plans to get a foothold in that space with there Nuviphone, but countless delays have made a significant part of that market less likely. Furthermore, the company relied on sales from its aviation and marine units, and in terms of[More...]

Looking For Solid, Growing Companies In A Recession

Garmin: Blown Nuvis?

Thu, 25 Jun 2009 05:32:25 GMT

There is apparently something VERY wrong with a firmware update that got pushed to Garmin Nuvis (one of their portable GPS systems.) If you have one of these, and have not used it recently, do not until you check with Garmin! If your unit has the "bad" firmware it may go completely dead, requiring replacement. While Garmin is apparently making good, they are not (as of this time) eating shipping charges back to them nor doing anything for your time without the unit. There is now a Garmin FAQ entry up on this that has firmware update instructions - IF your unit is[More...]

GPS cell phone apps challenge standalone devices

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 13:50:00 GMT

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The growth of cell phones with global-positioning technology is making life uncertain for the makers of personal navigational devices that help drivers figure out where they are and where to go.
Manufacturers of standalone GPS products will have to move quickly and smartly to transform their dumb map readers into intelligent devices that can provide a host of services such as traffic avoidance.
"You have to redefine the category somewhat, like what Apple did with the iPod Touch," said Ross Rubin, technology analyst for research firm The NPD Group.
