Tickers For The Latest Portfolio Reshaping

Fri, 04 Sep 2009 15:45:21 GMT

Fortunately my portfolio management methods don’t revolve around frequent trading. One of my kids came up to me recently and said, “What did you do today, Dad?” I said, “I made one trade, and I did a bunch of research.” He then asked, “How often do you trade?” I answered, “That was my first trade in a week, and I haven’t traded much in the last two months, but that’s not normal. There is no normal for me. When the market is really volatile, I trade a lot more, selling when stocks are rising, and buying when they are selling off. When the market is relatively placid, I don’t do much.” He looked at me, kind of smiled, and moved on. Information overload from Dad. Most people and investment managers trade too often. They sell their winners too rapidly, and panic too soon on their losers. Now, I’m not advocating “buy and forget,” or Buffett’s statement, “Our favorite holding period is forever.”[More...]

Cramer: Keep Suppliers In Mind

Wed, 02 Sep 2009 15:23:55 GMT

As Mad Money’s Jim Cramer says, “There’s a bull market out there, somewhere. I’m here to help you find it.” He has firmly established himself as a bull in this market, and so he spent very little time talking about Tuesday’s sell-off, and instead imparted tips on how to find stocks that are a bargain. One strategy is to follow spending cycles through buying not the company’s that are selling so well, but instead buying their suppliers.[More...]

Fitch Cuts Honeywell (HON) Outlook

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 21:14:36 GMT

Fitch Ratings recently lowered its outlook on Honeywell International Inc. (HON) as it expects the defense contractor’s weak operating performance that began late last year to continue through 2009. Lower earnings and cash flow have resulted in a leverage which is above normal levels for maintaining an “A" assigned to the company’s long-term default rating, unsecured bank credit and senior unsecured debt program. Fitch has an "F1" rating on Honeywell’s short-term issuer default and commercial papers. Although the global recession has hurt the company’s short-term outlook and 2009 results, Honeywell plans to continue its investments to ensure growth when the economy rebounds. It intends to reduce debt to help limit the impact of weaker financial results on leverage in 2009. The[More...]

Looking for the right time: Rates vary depending on peak usage

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 23:46:00 GMT

Dec. 2--Duncan city utility customers should probably avoid doing laundry or using additional appliances from 5 to 7 p.m. each night if they want to save some money.
That's the portion of time that the city is locked into its wholesale supplier as being the peak usage time, meaning it's costing consumers -- and the city -- a bit more to use electricity or water.
City Manager Clyde Shaw said that's the worst time of the day to use appliances.
