54 Stocks Returning 15%+ in January

Sun, 01 Feb 2009 18:18:00 GMT

As we exit the worst January ever, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at the best performers of the past month. Before we do, courtesy of Dshort.com this is a chart that has been passed around a lot in the investing community so I thought I'd share it. Two ways to read this - of the 4 great bear markets the past 100 years, 3 "ended" roughly where we are now... about a 50% loss in value from peak. That's the bullish view i.e. "can't get worse than this" and if we fall to S&P 750 (November lows) but never break through they will be correct. The bearish view is - the 4th bear market ended in a 90% drop, and if you plot the velocity of the decline, what happened to us in Sep - Nov caused us to be in lockstep with the worst of the 4. I'm not calling for a 90% drop[More...]

The Great Stimulus Boondoggle (And How to Profit)

Fri, 16 Jan 2009 14:40:00 GMT

From the government that brought you $1,000 toilet seats and $500 hammers comes the "Great Economic Stimulus Boondoggle of 2009". Okay, while it might be an appropriate title, that's not what it is called. President-Elect Obama's stimulus plan is actually called the "American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan." In my article last week, I brought up the distinct parallels to Ayn Rand's book Atlas Shrugged and what is happening in the financial and political world today. In a Wall Street Journal article highlighting these startling similarities, Stephen Moore tells how Rand pilloried various acts of government futility and their "benevolent-sounding titles". There is the: "Anti-Greed Act" which[More...]

The Shaw Group Inc. : Options Commentary

Tue, 13 Jan 2009 16:42:00 GMT

In last week's edition of Trading Tools, shipping concern TBS International Limited (TBSI) was examined, as it appeared on the Zacks Put/Call Ratio Greater than 1.0 filter. However, utilizing the Zacks Unusually High Call Volume screener today, I stumbled upon another equity that piqued my curiosity: construction company The Shaw Group Inc. (SGR). Before we begin, let's explain the contrarian stance that makes Schaeffer's so unique. When searching for a bullish pick, we like to see heavy skepticism toward an outperforming[More...]

Shaw Group - Exactly Why I Don't Play the 'Earnings Game'

Fri, 09 Jan 2009 14:11:00 GMT

The favorite game on Wall Street seems to be "the earnings game" - aka pure gambling. Roll heavily into a stock ahead of earnings, roll the dice, and hope it comes up your way. Shaw Group (SGR) - one of the Obama infrastructure stocks - had earnings yesterday and put on a huge gain off of earnings that were non too impressive. But... they pumped up their prospects of getting US taxdollars from New Deal 2.0 and the Street loved it. It's so very random, but this is the casino we play in. [More...]

Obama Team Targets Infrastructure

Mon, 15 Dec 2008 14:14:00 GMT

"One theme already seems likely to dominate the playbook for the Obama team is 'infrastructure plus' -- encompassing alternative energy, the environment, and health care," says Patrick DeSouza. The contributing editor to Steven Leeb's The Complete Investor, explains, "These priorities will translate into tremendous opportunities for well-situated firm in these areas." Here's some ideas. "The[More...]

Investors Business Daily: Obama Says 'Yes We Can Build' Infrastructure

Wed, 10 Dec 2008 20:36:00 GMT

One thing about being ahead of the curve is you do not realize that patience is rewarded as the herd catches up. Again, I am completely boggled that this infrastructure "story" was "news" to everyone but apparently we can see why newspapers are dying a slow death - no one reads... scratching my head still since it was so obvious. Investors Business Daily chimes in on the man with the golden touch.... While the massive economic stimulus plan proposed by President-elect Obama should be a boon to engineering and construction stocks, how big of a boon won't be known until more details are trotted out -- or, for that matter, any details. (details, schmetails - we have a thesis! that's all[More...]

Kraft rounds up banks to help Cadbury bid

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 22:46:00 GMT

Nov. 24--(Dow Jones)--As rivals weigh whether to top Kraft Food Inc.'s GBP9.9 billion ($16.5 billion) offer for Cadbury PLC, they are confronting an unusual situation: Kraft has extracted exclusivity agreements from the banks it is using to finance its bid, leaving contenders with few other banks to choose from.
Northfield-based Kraft, which made a hostile offer for Cadbury on Nov. 9, is being advised by Lazard and has secured a GBP5.5 billion bridge loan from a group of nine banks lead by Citigroup Inc., Deutsche Bank AG and HSBC Holdings PLC and including BNP Paribas SA, Barclays Capital, Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC as well as Credit Suisse, Societe Generale SA and Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria SA.
The lead banks have cast the net even further and the number of banks financing Kraft's bid could grow to 18, a person familiar with the matter said earlier this month.
