Overvalued Stocks: Don’t Touch These Bloated Investments With A 10-Foot Pole

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:03:43 GMT

To celebrate my parents’ anniversary, I took the family to see Grease last weekend. As musical theater buffs, I figured that they’d love the seeing the show, especially with my kids who had never seen a Broadway quality production. Unfortunately, they still haven’t. The show stunk. The “actor” who played Danny Zuko couldn’t act. And American Idol winner Taylor Hicks was so bad as Teen Angel, it was laughable.[More...]

Dr. Doom vs. The Investment Biker

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 01:36:39 GMT

Roubini versus Rogers. Let's recap the match to date. First, Nouriel Roubini gets in the ring by himself and starts shadow boxing. He warns that a "wall of liquidity" and "the mother of all carry trades" (via the dollar) are consorting to spark asset bubbles which could lead to another financial crisis.[More...]

2009 Commodity Fund Performance - Part III

Fri, 29 May 2009 03:44:10 GMT

This is part three of a four part series this week that looks at commodity ETFs and ETNs. For the first installment covering index-based products, see this item from Tuesday and, for energy funds, see yesterday's post. Today, the subject is precious metals and base metals where there is very little of interest going on aside from the "elephant in the living room" in the first row of the table below - the gargantuan (and still growing) assets for the SPDR Gold Shares ETF (NYSEArca:GLD).

2009 Commodity Fund Performance - Part II

Thu, 28 May 2009 03:23:19 GMT

This is part two of a four part series this week that looks at commodity ETFs and ETNs. For the first installment that covered index-based offerings, see this item from yesterday.

(Note: All year-to-date gains/losses are[More...]

2009 Commodity Fund Performance - Part I

Tue, 26 May 2009 21:40:45 GMT

This is part one of a four part series this week that will look at the current crop of commodity ETFs, ETNs, and mutual funds, most of which sprung to life in the first half of 2008, prior to the financial market meltdown last fall. First up are the index-based offerings where it's hard to tell which fund follows which index based on what appears in the gain/loss column in the table below since there is such a big disparity in how well funds follow the commodity index they're supposed to track. (Note: All year-to-date gains/losses are based on the May 22nd market close (last Friday) and the commodity offerings are listed in the order that they became[More...]

St. Petersburg Times, Fla., Robert Trigaux column: Florida lags in venture capital

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 16:48:00 GMT

Dec. 1--Florida entrepreneurs must possess cast-iron constitutions to try building start-up companies in these economic times.
Ask Florida Venture Capital Forum executive director Robin Kovaleski in Tampa what the climate is like these days for venture capital funding and she alternates between "tough" and "brutal."
The survey may quibble with me, but I'll add one more name, Sharklet Technologies of Alachua, as a fifth Florida company to get funding just as the second quarter ended and third quarter began.
