Stock Trade Ideas For Friday June 15 Posted: 14 Jun 2012 02:48 PM PDT   ( click to enlarge ) As I discussed in my last post about ARNA, I was expecting a pullback today to reset the oscillators and to kill off some the euphoria, but the Bulls exhibited their full control, and recovered all the intra-day losses to close the stock with a small gain. For now, the bulls are still strong and in control on all time frames, short, intermediate and long. The stock is trading well above its key DMAs and both RSI and stochastics are well and deeply in the overbought … [visit site to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards and Best Credit Cards

The Right Formula For Markets Posted: 14 Jun 2012 02:45 PM PDT Last weekend, I had the chance to experience the thrill of Formula 1 Grand Prix du Canada in Montreal. F1 has evolved over the past 60 years to make cars aerodynamic like a jet fighter, design wings that use the same principle as an aircraft, and engineer tires that withstand tremendous forces. Even with all these incredible advancements in technology, rules and regulations have adapted to reduce costs and improve safety. Since 1994, there hasn't been a fatal accident in the motorsport.

Hot Option Plays: Uncertainty Weighs On Market Posted: 14 Jun 2012 12:41 PM PDT Cusick’s Corner 06-13-2012 Support breaks on headlines — from the Greek election and capital potentially fleeing out on results, Moody’s downgrades, and comments that the upcoming G20 will yield very little in the way of near term solutions.

GDX – “The Chameleon” Posted: 14 Jun 2012 11:06 AM PDT As I have written about the HUI Mining Index recently and been watching the related GDX (Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF) with some intensity, I thought some readers may be interested in an update on the True Strength Index (TSI) indicator status of the current rally.

Dividend Achievers – Can The Past Be A Guide To The Future? Posted: 14 Jun 2012 06:27 AM PDT Investors are routinely drilled on the risks of extrapolating too much from the past when trying to predict the future performance of a stock – but when it comes to dividends, the past can be a useful guide. Indeed, when dealing with dividends, there are actually very few options when it comes to forecasting what will happen next.  On one hand, income seekers can track dividend yields – or the ratio of current payouts to current share prices – as a measure of what their cash will buy … [visit site to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards and Best Credit Cards

Dividend Cuts: Are They Always Bad News? Posted: 14 Jun 2012 04:11 AM PDT Investors hate dividend cuts or suspensions and companies fear them. There are few actions that CEOs dread more than cutting dividends, which partly explains why they happen so infrequently. In his classic 1956 study on dividend policy, Lintner interviewed corporate managers and found: “a reluctance (common to all companies) to reduce regular rates once established and a consequent conservatism in raising regular rates”. More recently, a survey in 2005 of payout policies found that 78% of … [visit site to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards and Best Credit Cards
