Thu, 01 Oct 2009 13:27:51 GMT

Here is a look at the top scorchers of the third quarter; a period where the S&P 500 gained 15% - it's best return since we were building the last stock market bubble in 2008. Who says history does not repeat itself?[More...]

Cheap On The Lows

Fri, 07 Nov 2008 20:21:00 GMT

As the economy deteriorates, one of the first casualties will be corporate profits.? Earnings estimates have been falling very fast for 2009.? Recently estimate cuts for 2009 have been running at about 8x the number of estimate increases.? P/E-based valuations become tricky in such an environment -- you are shooting at a moving target.? One way around this is to focus on the low (or most pessimistic) estimate, rather than on the mean estimate.? Assume that everyone else will move to where the biggest pessimist is now. This is not to say that the most pessimistic analyst today can't be too optimistic, but at least he will be closer than most. On this basis, there are some very compelling values out there.? Below we present a list of the cheapest S&P 500 companies based on 2009 low estimates.? Since I simply do not trust the numbers, I have excluded from the list all firms from the financial sector.? However, I would note that we classify the health[More...]

Picking Some Stocks To Survive The Market

Mon, 20 Oct 2008 00:04:00 GMT

I have not done well in the markets for the last six weeks. Here is why: Overweight in Life Insurers. Yes, they are in better shape than the banks, but that only means they got hit later, not that they would not get hit. Too much economic sensitivity. I felt that global demand would hold up better than US demand, but that only means they got hit later, not that they would not get hit. I suspect that hedge funds have been blowing out my positions. I’ve ben talking about stock survivability lately. What does that mean? Low levels of short-term debt. Few major debt maturities coming in the next three years. Low levels of total debt relative to tangible capital. Still earning money and producing free cash flow, even in a tough environment. If a company is[More...]

Mon, 14 Jan 2008 14:08:35 GMT

Good morning. Premarket futures are higher this morning following good news from International Business Machines (IBM) who told the market really want they wanted to hear this morning- i.e. strong profits from Asia, Europe and emerging countries led to the better than expected results. In response, buyers are bidding up tech and hoping that more unexpected good news is coming as earnings season gets fully underway. While not all earnings news was great (see Sears (SHLD)), some positive analyst commentary, rumors of more writedowns in the financial space & subsequent takeovers,...[More...]

New Intel Chip Smaller, Packs Twice the Power

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 16:53:00 GMT

Sep. 25--Moore's Law, the famous doctrine that has served as the guiding principle of the semiconductor industry since it was postulated by the co-founder of Intel Corp., is alive and well.
That's the word this week from Intel President Paul Otellini, who displayed the latest chips from the company's technical wizards at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco.
In 1965, Intel co-founder Gordon Moore said the number of transistors that can be incorporated on a chip will about double every 24 months.
