Quarterly earnings release time is the real news make or break time for most publicly traded companies. For investors in many publicly traded companies, these once-every-three months information dumps are the only time actual business results can be reviewed and analyzed. All the stuff you read in the 90 days between release dates are just […]
Earnings season is upon us again, seemingly out of nowhere. Has it already been three months since last quarter’s results were released? Well, many of the most widely followed companies don’t report until November, so I guess we have some time to come up with earnings-related trading ideas. Most of the time, traders think of […]
Investors who buy stocks for yield and dividend income soon learn that, for most of these investments, they need to keep a close eye on those investments. For many income stocks, the cash flow to pay dividends can be at risk and the business results – revenues, profits and free cash flow – should be […]
Being from western Pennsylvania, I am quite familiar with the whole idea of zombies. One of the great cult horror film classics, directed by the late George Romero, was the 1968 film Night of the Living Dead. The story centered on seven people trapped in a rural western Pennsylvania farmhouse that are attacked by a […]
The sign on the booth touted a new, sophisticated computer-generated money management program. I walked inside and asked about stop losses. The young man replied, “Hold on to your stocks, the market always comes back.” I countered, “Can you guarantee it?” He pulled up a chart with some blips, concluding the market has always come […]

As part of being somewhat of a contrarian investor, I like to look for possible investments in areas where the Wall Street hype machine went crazy, but then the ‘hot air balloon’ was punctured. One such area in technology has to be 3D printing, which is also known as additive manufacturing. Valuations in this sector […]
“Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it … he who doesn’t … pays it.” Albert Einstein I wonder what Einstein would have said in a world where bank savings products pay less than 1%, the five-year Treasury bond yields 1.9% and the S&P 500 dividend yield also […]
Remember the days when political strife and geopolitical volatility used to spook investors and send tremors through the stock market? I do… but those memories are fading fast. Given the current climate, you’d think the phrase “market jitters” would appear more often. After all, if there’s one thing the market hates, it’s uncertainty. Yet stocks […]
Predicting where the stock market is going is a tricky business. Very few investors or traders have a consistent, strong track record when it comes to guessing the short- to medium-term direction of the market. That’s because there’s always plenty of noise in the short-term. While there aren’t any obvious events this year (like an […]
