Whirlpool Corporation: Do You Have The Guts To Be Greedy While Others Are Fearful?
Introduction After today’s price drop, and frankly even before that, I thought that Whirlpool Corporation (WHR) represented a unique opportunity to invest in the world’s oldest and largest appliance manufacturer at extremely undervalued levels. I understand that there have been issues, but I see nothing that would suggest that the price should be this low. […]
Yields Explode, Jobs Don’t
It was inevitable. And yet the market is struggling to digest it, and the mainstream financial media is grasping for stories to explain it. “Normalization” is a smooth-sounding word. But it happens with moves like last week’s spike in Treasury yields. It’s happening; rates are going higher. And don’t expect Federal Reserve policy to change until something […]
Singapore Embraces Blockchain And A Digital Currency Future
Many enthusiasts immediately think of Switzerland when looking into crypto friendly locations. The tiny island nation of Singapore, however, is making its own moves up the ranks. Such an official ranking system doesn’t actually exist of course, but that hasn’t stopped several opinion lists from appearing online in recent months. Expect “blockchain Singapore” to be […]
A Drug Giant Whose Dividend Safety Isn’t As Bad As It Looks
Investors tend to buy large pharmaceutical companies because of their safety. But during the Great Recession, shareholders of Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) not only suffered a haircut in stock price, along with shareholders of most companies but also got stung with a dividend cut. In 2009, the company slashed its quarterly dividend in half to $0.16. The dividend has since recovered to […]
E The U.S. Treasury Sell-Off Needs To Be Confirmed By Inflationary Pressures
As bond yields worldwide surged last week, the bond bears were out in full force to announce that the 35-year bull market has ended. Although these claims have been made numerous times over these past three decades, this ‘time could be different’ or so it seems. Of course, we cannot declare the demise of this […]
WTI Slumps To 2-Week Lows After Biggest Crude Build In 20 Months
After holding around $75 yesterday amid storm news as Hurricane Michael shut more offshore oil platforms and the International Energy Agency warned that the global market is entering a “red zone”, today saw risk-off sentiment slam it lower, back below $73 ahead of tonight’s API data. Globally, supplies from Iran and Venezuela have been shrinking, creating a “risky situation” for the […]

Will Netflix Ever Pay A Dividend?
The decision whether a company should pay a dividend is a complex one. Dividends can be a major part of a company’s capital allocation strategy. For example, the Dividend Aristocrats are a group of 53 stocks in the S&P 500 that have raised their dividends for 25+ years in a row. Other companies do not pay dividends […]
Stocks And Precious Metals Charts – Lows Of The Day
“It’s probably early days, but now might be the time to start taking precautions against a 2008 class event in the financial markets. I would suggest it might arrive anytime between now and July 2020. These sorts of things depend on the magnitude of any ‘trigger event,’ which is why it is so difficult to […]
