Inside Wall Street View Of Economy And Market: ‘Pyrrhic Victory’ Posted: 01 Oct 2010 01:31 AM PDT Thanks to the friend of Sense on Cents who shared this commentary on our economy and markets. This commentary for clients emanated from a major Wall Street bank. I believe this writer's sentiments are consistent with mine in terms of my assessment of a 'walking pneumonia' economy.  The writer's comparison of our economic recovery to a Pyrrhic victory is very interesting. I appreciate his utilization of another ancient Greek lesson as we try to recover, move forward, and live to … [visit site to read more]

Stock Chart Of The Day: North American Palladium Posted: 30 Sep 2010 11:58 PM PDT Today’s Chart of the Day is North American Palladium (PAL). This stock was also part of the watchlist I had posted last night and the action in it today has forced me to go with this even for Chart of the Day today. The stock today managed to break free from the multi-week trading range, and it did so on impressive volume. The next serious resistance is at 4.42 though I expect there to be some resistance at 4.25 too. I had played this stock a lot in January but the dramatic drop from 5 … [visit site to read more]

Race To The Bottom Posted: 30 Sep 2010 11:21 PM PDT Long ago, before economic models developed their current levels of sophistication, it used to be that the goal of a government’s economic policy was to bring prosperity to its citizens; in other words, to raise the general level of material comfort, while at the same time reducing the amount of toil required to attain that end. However, due to the blather spouted by modern economists, success is no longer measured in those terms. Instead, governments simply look to pump up nominal … [visit site to read more]

Bear Of The Day: Universal Forest Products (UFPI) Posted: 30 Sep 2010 11:05 PM PDT Universal Forest Products Inc. (NASDAQ:UFPI) reported disappointing results in second quarter 2010 with EPS falling 19 cents short of Zacks Consensus. Healthy top-line growth was offset by higher cost of sales due to volatile lumber prices in the quarter. Also, Universal’s huge dependence on general market conditions and growth in end markets increase top-line risks in the event of any adverse conditions. Further, significant volatility in the cost of commodity lumber products from primary producers … [visit site to read more]

12-Pack, Worthy Dividend Income Portfolio Posted: 30 Sep 2010 11:24 AM PDT I have been a long time proponent of a two portfolio investment approach. Following in the footsteps of Harry Browne, who brought the idea to the fore in the 1970s, I assembled a Permanent Portfolio which was designed as an all-season capital preservation, modest appreciation vehicle, and a Speculative Portfolio which was designed to place bets on high risk securities that offered the possibility of high reward. Given the era in which we live, perhaps it is time to adjust the mindset of the … [visit site to read more]
