Three Small Caps To Help Weather A Bear Market
The third quarter of 2015 was a bad one for the market. The S&P 500 fell 7%, its worst performance in four years. In the third quarter of 2011, the S&P 500 dropped 14%. It then rallied in the fourth quarter to finish the year exactly where it started. If you include dividends, you made […]
The Phrase That Initiates Recessions
It Can’t Get Any Worse? On Friday, shortly after the release of the payrolls report, we asked half in jest whether the time had finally come for the market to interpret bad news as bad news, and not as an opportunity to speculate on more central bank largesse. As someone remarked to us later: “You had to […]
A Long For A Change
It’s been so long that I’ve actually suggested a bullish chart, I thought I’d break my own trend and do so: here is one of the very few charts that looks like a good, strong long pattern: Boyd Gaming.

Our benchmark S&P 500 opened higher and rose fractionally above 1% in the opening 10 minutes. The index then continued to rise throughout the day to its […]
A Compelling Case For General Motors’ 4.5% Dividend Yield
GM has been nothing short of an extremely disappointing business (and investment) for more than a decade. Market share losses, chronically unprofitable operations, ballooning pension and healthcare obligations, safety issues, vehicle recalls, a massive government bailout during the financial crisis, and more have left investors’ skeptical of GM since its relisting in late 2010. More recently, […]
