No: Rich People Don’t Work More
The meme is ubiquitous, and widely documented: Rich people work longer hours. Obvious implication: they deserve what they get, right? Ditto the poor. Bunk. Why? All the research supporting that meme looks at workers, not families. It completely ignores students, the retired, and anyone else who isn’t working. Alert the media: workers work more than non-workers. And, news flash: rich families are […]

Five Mining Companies Joe Reagor Believes Are Ahead Of The Curve
TM editors’ note: This article discusses a penny stock and/or microcap. Such stocks are easily manipulated; do your own careful due diligence.

Canaries In The Coal Mine, Part 1: Tech High-Flyers Fall To Earth
While the “stock market” continues to flirt with new records, there’s turmoil under the surface. High-flying social media companies Twitter (TWTR) and LinkedIn (LNKD) fell hard in late April, and now recent IPO Etsy (ETSY), an online marketplace for arts and crafts, is down 50% since going public (8% of that today). Bull markets don’t […]
Charts Of Interest – May 11, 2015
As previously noted, I have the potential to become distracted and busy elsewhere this week. So for that and market related reasons I am very lightly positioned (heavy cash). But one position I hold is an NFTRH+ trade idea on Gilead. The ‘+’ update was produced before GILD reported its good earnings. It was based solely on […]
Chinese Stock Bubble Now Plumbing Depths Of Human Stupidity
What’s in a name? A lot apparently, especially if you’re a property developer-turned P2P company riding the wave of China’s self-fulfilling, margin-fueled equity mania. Enter Shanghai Duolun Industry, a Shanghai-listed company which, until recently anyway, engaged in real estate development and commodity residential buildings distribution. All of that changed however, on April 29th when the […]

Muskular Magic
Elon Musk, Silicon Valley’s poster-boy genius replacement for the late Steve Jobs, rolled out his PowerWall battery last week with Star Wars style fanfare, doing his bit to promote and support the delusional thinking that grips a nation unable to escape the toils of techno-grandiosity. The main delusion: that we can “solve” the problems of […]

The US dollar has surged significantly over the past few months, weighing on earnings of multinational companies. Currency headwinds and weakness in some of the key international markets will continue to hurt these companies this year. About the Company Based in Benton Harbor, MI, Whirlpool Corporation (WHR – Analyst Report) is one of the leading global manufacturers of home […]
