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.

$21.8M exec pay, 67 layoffs decried

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 10:46:00 GMT

Dec. 4--State Attorney General Richard Blumenthal is criticizing the Spanish parent company of the state's two largest natural gas utilities for having given a retiring executive a $21.8 million severance package nine months before it announced plans to lay off 67 workers.
Blumenthal used Thursday's Department of Public Utility Control hearing in New Britain regarding proposed layoffs by Southern Connecticut Gas and Connecticut Natural Gas to assail the decision by Iberdrola.
The Spanish energy giant late last year paid $21.8 million in severance to Wesley W. von Schack, the man who led Energy East, which was acquired by Iberdrola in 2007.
