HDV: An ETF With Safety, Strength And A Solid Yield
I’ve advocated for funds that focus on dividend aristocrats for some time. They generally represent some of the best and sturdiest companies in the world and provide a degree of income security that many other investments can’t. The problem is that many of these funds just don’t pay big yields. Funds that invest in long-term […]
Kite Pharma – Chart Of The Day
The Chart of the Day belongs to Kite Pharma (KITE). I found the biopharmaceutical stock by using Barchart to sort today’s All Time High list first for the highest Weighted Alpha, then again for technical buy signal of 80% or more. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 6/8 the stock gained 55.42%. Kite Pharma, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical […]

While there’s certainly been no shortage of commentary containing the term “complacency” from analysts and pundits, the idea of putting a number on it was new. Kocic’s approach was relatively straightforward and his note (which you can read in the linked post above) explaining the rationale and […]
That’s Odd, I’ve Seen That Curve History Somewhere Before
Orthodox monetary theory tells us that central banks matter, a lot. Monetary policy is supposed to be the difference in everything from economy to currency. If one central is doing one thing and another central bank something different, it is presumed the only necessary information to infer what markets and therefore economies might do in […]
Snap Inc. Shares Rise As Teen Facebook Users Migrate To Snapchat
Investors who have held Facebook (FB) shares for years are probably well-accustomed to concerns that the social network is falling out of favor among teens, which date back years, but these concerns have resurfaced this week. One firm predicts that for the second year in a row, this key demographic of Facebook users may actually cut […]
