Chart Of The Day: Express Scripts
The Chart of the Day belongs to Express Scripts (NASDAQ:ESRX). I found the stock by sorting the All Time High list for the stocks with the most frequent new highs in the last month then used the Flipchart feature to review the charts. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 10/21 the stock gained […]
Peter Schiff To CNBC: High Inflation Never Benefits An Economy
This afternoon, CNBC Europe asked Peter Schiff about the effects of low oil prices on the European economy. Peter used the opportunity to explain why the governments of Europe, the United States, and Japan are all playing the same game: claiming inflation is good for the economy, when in fact it just allows politicians to […]
Northern Oil And Gas: Michael Reger’s Deeply Misleading Tweet
Northern Oil and Gas (NYSE:NOG) is familiar to long-time readers of this blog. I posted about it here, here, here and here. I have been short this stock for some years and my view is that absent sustained high oil prices this company will file bankruptcy. I also follow the Twitter account of Michael Reger […]
EC Are Stocks Really The Only Game In Town?
Contrarians must be thinking about the sustainability of the year-end stock rally after six weeks of remarkable gains. The most recent AAII Investor Sentiment Survey discovered that a whopping 52 percent of respondents were Investor Sentiment, far surpassing the long-term trend of 39 percent. Meanwhile, nearly $43 billion of inflows poured into U.S. equity ETFs […]
Portfolio Update
As we enter the home stretch of 2014 I wanted to give an update about my portfolio and holdings in my taxable and ROTH accounts. November has brought about my highest ever portfolio value in both accounts as my total investment balance in my taxable account reached $111,328.59 and my total investment balance in my […]

Here is 8 years of the last few seconds of the trading day and how ‘efficiently’ it has evolved… Running time 1:13 h/t @NanexLLC alternative for […]
The Right Way To Find Growth And Value Stocks
Looking for growth and value is a winning combination. First off, Growth Investors focus on companies with great earnings growth. And this makes sense since earnings drive prices. But nobody wants to overpay for good growth. Value Investors focus on low valuation metrics like low P/Es for example. But many companies have low P/Es because […]
Housing Fraud Is Back – Real Estate Industry Intentionally Inflating Home Appraisals
Almost 40% of appraisers surveyed from Sept. 15 through Nov. 7 reported experiencing pressure to inflate values, according to Allterra Group LLC, a for-profit appraiser-advocacy firm based in Salisbury, Md. That figure was 37% in the survey for the previous year. “If you thought what was happening before was an embarrassment, wait until the second […]
The Santa Rally: Separating Fact From Fiction
It’s December and you know what that means: let the “Santa Claus rally” calls begin. Like “Black Friday” sales, the Santa rally talk seems to start earlier and earlier each and every year. We actually started seeing articles about the rally in early November and they are out in full force today. Why the constant talk of […]
