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...]

The Alternative Energy Market: Bullish & Bearish Scenarios For NYSE: PBW

Mon, 22 Jun 2009 20:44:53 GMT

Monday, June 22, 2009 by Jim Stanton, Technical & Quantitative Analyst and Editor of The 1-2-3 Trader When oil prices moved over $30 a barrel in the mid 1980s, it was considered a significant event. It also signaled the birth of small ethanol companies in the Midwest. Many of them managed to hang around long enough to get a second wind when Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait and the ensuing Gulf War pushed oil prices pushed past $40. But the renewed interest in ethanol proved to be short-lived, as oil retreated back below $20 a barrel just four months later. As a result, many of those smaller ethanol companies within the alternative energy market couldn’t survive. Flash forward to today, where we’ve seen crude oil prices double in just the[More...]

Buying A Stock Market Dip: Here Are 4 Strategies To Use

Tue, 26 May 2009 21:13:08 GMT

Tuesday, May 26, 2009 by Karim Rahemtulla, Investment Director, Smart Profits Report Did you miss out on buying Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) at $80 or $90? How about The Mosaic Company (NYSE: MOS) for $25? While investors worry about missing out on stock market rallies, there’s another equally important event: Buying on stock market dips. While the recent rally has been impressive, markets never move in straight lines for long. And given that we’re still 80% below the highs, we still have plenty of room to run. So now is the time[More...]

Japan’s Stock Market: A 4% Quarterly Drop Drives Shares To Bargain Levels

Wed, 20 May 2009 22:10:30 GMT

Wednesday, May 20, 2009 by Martin Denholm, Managing Editor, Smart Profits Report The U.S. and Eurozone economies are going gangbusters. If you compare them to Japan’s stock market, that is… Last Friday, the Eurozone’s first-quarter GDP report showed a record 2.5% contraction, punctuated by Germany’s 3.8% drop. It was the country’s worst quarterly performance since 1970 and over the past three quarters, Germany has erased all its gains made since 2005. But Japan managed to trump both of them today, announcing a 4% quarterly drop. Its fourth straight three-month retreat equated to a 15.2% annualized plunge and in the fiscal year to March 31, GDP fell by 3.5% - the worst since 1955. While the performance came as little surprise, the fact that it wasn’t as bad as the estimated 16.1% drop brought some bold comments from[More...]

Job Reports: Why Friday Could Be A Significant Market Day

Wed, 06 May 2009 19:57:35 GMT

Wednesday, May 6, 2009 by Martin Denholm, Managing Editor, Smart Profits Report Another big day for Wall Street looms this Friday. Being the first Friday of the month, we’ll get the latest monthly unemployment reading from the Department of Labor - a release that always has Messrs. Rick Santelli and his fellow TV cronies breathlessly awaiting it, before launching into a hyperbolic waffle-fest about what it all means. All monthly job reports are significant, of course. But this one could be more so because it will be a test of the stock market’s recent strength. As we’ve argued here before, the speed and power of the current rally, while impressive, probably isn’t sustainable. Markets never move up and down[More...]

Investment Brokerages: Five Tips For Tackling A Bad Fill Price From Your Broker

Sun, 03 May 2009 04:51:22 GMT

Friday, May 1, 2009 by Marc Lichtenfeld, Senior Analyst, Smart Profits Report If you’re an active investor, you’ve no doubt had your fair share of trade executions that are, shall we say, less than optimal. Another way of saying it is, “You were screwed.” Bad executions are a part of trading. Sometimes you’re looking right at the offer price and inexplicably get filled at a higher buy price. Other times, you get a sell executed lower than the bid. It can be frustrating and costly. Most people simply take a bad fill price and move on to the next trade. It’s something that I’ve learned to live with. But occasionally I get a trade filled at such a bad price that I can’t take it lying down.[More...]

Nov. 6--Spirit AeroSystems CEO Jeff Turner says he's concerned that Boeing and Airbus might cut production on single-aisle, narrow-body jetliners.
There are sign that rates should be trimmed, Turner said Thursday during a conference call after the company reported its third-quarter results.
"I felt terrible three months ago and six months ago -- terribly worried I should say," Turner said in response to whether he feels better than he did three or six months ago on whether rates will hold.
