The Most Contrarian Idea I Have

Thu, 07 May 2009 14:46:10 GMT

Any reader of my blog recognizes that I generally have an affinity for consumer products and retail facing stocks. In this recession, I’ve also become quite the fan of dividends as manifested in my recent investments - GE, VLO, [More...]

A Stock Offering Safe Dividends And Speculative Upside

Tue, 10 Mar 2009 08:10:00 GMT

Sounds like an oxymoron, safe dividends and speculative upside. How could that be possible? Oil has fallen over 70% over the last year due to declining projections of future oil demand. While I have argued that long oil exposure is a prudent and wise move for any portfolio, there’s no better time than today to be adding long oil exposure given the potential upside available. It’s hard to argue that, despite increased focus on alternative energies and alternative fuels, these new[More...]

Playbook For The Week

Mon, 12 Jan 2009 04:23:00 GMT

Now that the market has lightened up a bit on the "student body left" (or right) trading ("sell everything! buy everything!") we can spend some more time sorting out good charts from bad. Except in times of extremes - this is a market of stocks, not a stock market. Below I'll break out some of the stocks that we made some changes to last week, and others of interest with commentary.... 1) We had been holding off on adding to Emergent BioSolutions (EBS) as noted Thursday waiting to see if it was reading to break up, or down... the answer the next morning was down. The answer was down, but after flushing out to $20 it bounced right back to $22, where we took the[More...]

Mon, 15 Sep 2008 07:37:00 GMT

Undoubtedly, you already know this news. Lehman Brothers (LEH) will file for bankruptcy protection, as they couldn't seem to sell themselves this weekend. Additionally, Merill Lynch looks like it will be bought out by Bank of America for around $25-30 a share ($29 a share offer being voted on). Lastly, AIG will be restructuring. If you want more info on all this than you can handle, just head to any major financial publication, as the news is all over the place. I'm not here to regurgitate this news. Instead, I want to turn my focus to a way to possibly play this madness. In the event that LEH does liquidate, the following stocks will undoubtedly trade lower. Why, do you ask? Well, because they are some of LEH's top holdings.The List[More...]

PSC must set meaningful efficiency standards: THE ISSUE: PSC must set new energy-efficient standards.

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 10:47:00 GMT

Nov. 4--The Public Service Commission can show its "new management" mettle by establishing new energy efficiency standards.
The current standards used by the utilities under the PSC's supervision are far too inadequate and are an impediment to establishing a "green economy."
The PSC staff wants utilities to curb consumer energy usage by a miniscule 1.2 percent over the next 10 years, a target that is embarrassingly small.
