What Is Volume Telling Us about Gold Stocks?
2012-05-22 17:55:00 By Jeff Clark, I’ve read articles from more than one analyst claiming that gold stocks are down on low volume, implying there’s a lack of interest in precious metals. While on the surface that seems like an obvious statement, their point is that most of the recent volume has been coming from sellers and thus exaggerating the recent decline. I decided to test this hypothesis, because if correct, it has investment implications, starting with the fact that at some point you run out of sellers; and if and when buyers return, the ensuing rise could be spectacular. I also wanted to compare volume now to the waterfall … [visit site to read . . . → Read More: What Is Volume Telling Us about Gold Stocks?

Natural Resource-Related Stocks Show Promise: Frank Barbera

Frank Barbera: In the headlines, Europe looks like quite the mess. Imagine being a Greek who saved over a lifetime now facing the possibility of devaluation or Greece leaving the euro. If Greece pulls out of the euro and devalues, most of the people will see their life savings collapse in terms of purchasing power.

3 High-Yield Stocks for the Coming Wave of Retirees
2012-04-17 19:00:00 The greatest demographic trend affecting the United States today is the aging of the baby-boomer generation. Many of the baby boomers (those born between 1946 and 1964) are beginning to retire. In fact, starting this year it is estimated that 10,000 baby boomers will retire every day. This means there will be more than 3.6 million potential retirees every year for the next 17 years. Given the magnitude of this trend, every investor should own a stock or two that will benefit. One of the best ways to invest for this demographic is to own health care REITs (Real estate investment trusts).

One of Buffett?s Favorite "Forever Stocks" Just Announced ANOTHER Dividend
2012-04-13 13:32:00 In the 1994 investment classic The Warren Buffett Way, author Robert Hagstrom delves into great detail on the stocks that catapulted Buffett's fortune into what it is today. In the chapter describing Berkshire Hathaway's primary holdings, he quotes Buffett as saying "I find that a long-term familiarity with a company and its products is often helpful in evaluating it." Familiarity, coupled with a great business that does nothing but grow, are two of Buffett's most important investment philosophies. A holding period that for all effective purposes is "forever," is another of his cornerstones.

A Further Downside Run in Gold and Gold Stocks is Coming! Here?s Why
2012-04-09 20:02:00 By Nu Yu, Ph.D. The Fed’s recent inference that QE3 was not imminent has caused physical gold and silver and the HUI and the XAU to breach their downside support lines. These transitions set up the distinct possibility that we could well see $1,500 gold and the HUI and XAU at 400 and 144, respectively! Let me outline my analyses of the current situation and how it might unfold. GOLD Now in a Downhill Run Gold had been in a 20-month long ‘Bump-and-Run Reversal Top’ pattern but, with the recent events, has transitioned from the “Bump” phase to the “Run” phase.

When the GOOG bubble popped it signaled the end of the bull market. Two stocks, AAPL and PCLN, have been the leaders of this bull market. Both have entered the euphoric “bubble” stage. When the Apple and Priceline parabolas break it will almost certainly signal the end of this bull market. Apple is now stretched 49% above the 200 day moving average.

3 High-Yield Stocks with Heavy Insider-Buying
2012-04-05 03:00:00 Whenever I screen for stocks, I always look at whether insiders are buying shares of their companies. This kind of information can be extremely valuable to individual investors. Insiders know the industry, the inner workings of the company and the business opportunities far better than the average investor. Insiders may buy shares in anticipation of a hot new product, an acquisition or simply because they think the stock is undervalued. Peter Lynch said it best: "Insiders may sell their stock for many reasons, but they buy for only one: they think the price will rise." With these words in mind, I found three great high-yield stocks that have recently experienced heavy insider-buying. Keep in mind . . . → Read More: 3 High-Yield Stocks with Heavy Insider-Buying

Casino Stocks Are Still Trading Like Chinese ADR's
2012-04-04 21:58:00 This afternoon, all of the leading casino stocks are trading lower with the major stock market indexes. The leading casino stocks are still generating good revenue from the Macao market. Many traders are waiting to see if the casino stocks will start trading like a U.S. stock instead of trading like a Chinese ADR. A fair case can be made that the daily chart of Wynn Resorts Ltd (NASDAQ:WYNN) looks very similar to the chart of Baidu Inc (NASDAQ:BIDU). Both stock made a short term high around late March 2012 and have been pulling back since that time. Recently, Chinese economic data has pointed to a modest slowdown. Obviously, at some point in the future the Chinese central bank (People's Bank of China) will try and stimulate the economy again. Until that time, traders should trade the casino stocks just the same way you would trade the Chinese ADR's. Some leading casino stocks that are pulling back today include Las Vegas Sands Corp (NYSE:LVS), MGM Resorts International (NYSE:MGM),...

5 Safe Stocks to Own Before the Next Market Crash
2012-03-30 17:30:00 There's a tried-and-true maxim on Wall Street: Stocks fall a lot faster than they rise. There are myriad examples, and the sharp plunge of 1987 is just one. The economy was growing at a nice clip, corporate profits were on the rise, and investors were pouring into the market. And then, "Black Friday" came on October 19, 1987, pushing the S&P 500 down more than 20% in a single day. The fact that stocks had risen 250% in the previous five years led to a great deal of complacency, as few potential land mines stood on the horizon. Looking back, we still don't even know what caused the crash. Some think it was due to computer-driven . . . → Read More: 5 Safe Stocks to Own Before the Next Market Crash

This Could be the BEST way to own Small-Cap Stocks
2012-03-30 04:30:00 If you're more of a risk-taker, then you've probably noticed how well the stocks of small companies, or "small-cap" stocks, have been doing. During the three-year period ended March 27, 2012, the Russell 2000 Index of U.S. small-cap stocks returned an average of 26.7% a year. This rate of return was more than four percentage points better than the S&P 500's 22.6% during the same period. This is just the latest example of why investors should consider including a healthy portion of small-caps — stocks with market capitalizations of less than $1 billion — in their portfolios.

These Are Some of the Most Expensive Stocks I?ve Ever Seen?
2012-03-25 12:00:00 The stock market is a game of expectations. And one of the best ways of gauging investor expectation is by looking at a stock's price-to-earnings ratio, or P/E for short. As readers of my Game-Changing Stocks newsletter know, I like to turn conventional thinking on its head. So while most investors like to look for stocks with low P/E ratios, ostensibly to find a "cheap" stock, I recently decided to look at companies that have high P/Es.

2012-03-12 13:30:00 I recently shared an important piece of news with readers of my High-Yield Investing newsletter that I think every dividend investor should know about. Last month, President Barack Obama tabled his $3.8 trillion budget for the 2013 fiscal year starting this October 1. The budget proposes $1.7 trillion in new revenue over the next 10 years, in part by ending Bush-era tax cuts for "wealthy" individuals making more than $200,000 in income and households earning more than $250,000 a year. That's nothing new. In a recent article, I talked about what Obama was proposing when tax cuts approved under George W. Bush expire at the end of this year.

The Most Overvalued Stocks in the Market
2012-03-09 04:00:00 It's increasingly clear that it's the beginning of the end of the recent market rally. The major indexes have moved steadily higher since Oct. 1, 2011, with some of the more speculative stocks becoming the biggest gainers. These stocks weren't cheap to begin with, so now they're really quite pricey. In the weeks and months ahead, the market may still trend higher, but investors will likely take an increasingly defensive posture, gravitating toward more reasonably-priced stocks. For the market's biggest recent winners, trouble could be ahead.

These Cheap Small-Cap Stocks Could Deliver Safe Growth
2012-03-07 19:00:00 The status of many global economies is in flux right now. I recently looked at several foreign economies that could be headed toward a downward spiral and how it could affect your portfolio. As a result, companies that have fairly minimal foreign exposure may have the most robust near-term prospects. The U.S. economy may not be the picture of health, but possible 2% gross domestic product growth in 2012 looks a lot better than many of our key trading partners. The companies with greatest domestic exposure are likely to have small market capitalizations.

Carl Icahn Loves These 4 Stocks ? Should you Buy Too?
2012-03-01 14:30:00 Carl Icahn is among the 25 richest people in the United States, with a net worth estimated to exceed $13 billion. He accumulated his wealth by being an activist investor, acquiring stakes in companies that were performing poorly, then pushing for organizational and administrative changes to unlock hidden shareholder value. Icahn typically buys buying beaten-down assets, restructures the business and then sells the assets for a profit when they are back in favor. Icahn is far better at identifying hidden value than the average investor, so most of us could make money just by following his moves. A case in point is Chesapeake Energy (NYSE: CHK).

Get the Best "Forever Stocks" on the Market in one Single Investment
2012-02-29 02:30:00 If you think the main impediment to solid long-term investment returns is lousy stock picking, then think again. Yes, there are many factors that can hinder investment returns — missing out on fast-growing IPOs, having an advisor who steers you wrong, high fund expenses or taxes, an uncertain economy — but in my experience, the biggest threat to solid long-term returns is volatility. Extreme fluctuations and instability in the market are so dangerous because they weaken investors' resolve, causing many to panic and "sell low."
