Stocks? Throw The Book At Them!
Net worth used to be a simple concept. Add up assets. Subtract liabilities. And celebrate (or mourn) the tangible book value of the company. It is not so simple anymore. In a service-oriented economy, the value of a corporation partially depends on several intangibles. How influential is the company’s brand? What about the impact of […]
A Look At Some Key Levels
Simply a quick look at our “Modern Family” key levels. S&P 500 (SPY) 289.50 pivotal area support. 291.74 the current all-time high, which today’s high came within inches of. Russell 2000 (IWM) Broke 170 on a day Dow made new highs. 168.94 the 50 DMA to hold, then 167.30. Over 170-we still want to see this […]
Are We Headed For A Passive Index Meltdown?
Without Googling, try to guess who said the following quote: “If everybody indexed, the only word you could use is chaos, catastrophe. The markets would fail.” Give up? The speaker, believe it or not, is John Bogle, founder of Vanguard, which has been at the forefront of indexing. Bogle made the comment last year […]
Tilray – Should You Buy It?
Oh, hell no. Please don’t go buying a risky pot stock that is up 68% in one day, and nearly 200% on the week. But what if Tilray (TLRY) goes higher? Who cares!?! It doesn’t matter. Yes, people are jumping in Tilray (TLRY) with the hopes and dreams that it continues to march higher. Don’t fool yourselves, people – […]
Turkey ETF Surges Post Rate Hike

This resulted in lira appreciating by 4.3% against the U.S. dollar and iShares MSCI Turkey ETF (TUR – Free Report) gaining 5.9% on the same day. This is the biggest rate hike in President Erdogan’s 15-year […]
Market Talk – Wednesday, Sept. 19
A strong performance from most Asian markets following the US run. Rather the news than the rumor as many people feared. Both the Shanghai and Hang Seng opened unchanged but from that point on, both made steady progress throughout the day. A strong close for both (+1.2%) after the retaliatory response, but does only appear […]
Red Hat Stock Plunges On Weak Q3 Earnings, Revenue Guidance
CNBC’s Courtney Reagan reports that Red Hat stock plunged following an earnings miss.
An 11.7% Yield On The Verge Of An Upgrade
Annaly Capital Management’s (NYSE: NLY) 11.7% yield and the fact that it is a current recommendation in The Oxford Income Letter make it an often requested stock for the Safety Net column. I last reviewed it in January, saying that while Annaly received an “F” rating for dividend safety, its prospects were improving. Let’s see if that’s still true. Annaly got […]
Bitcoin, Meet Tilray (TLRY)
As mentioned in a post earlier, shares of cannabis drug maker Tilray (TLRY) have gone absolutely bananas in the short time it has been public. In the 47 trading days since its IPO, the stock is already up over 1,200%. In order to help put the stock’s surge in perspective, we wanted to compare its recent performance […]
Stocks And Precious Metals Charts – A Dance Of Dragons
“[Hillary] Clinton tells Maddow that she [Hillary] was an obstacle to Russia’s plan to undermine our democracy, and suggests we should be scared of the Kremlin’s grand designs. The lengths these people will go to protect their privilege and deflect from their own failures is staggering, and a real threat… I’ve said that Russiagate is an act […]
