  • Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News [View article]
    User 18358,

    As soon as I hear the CEOs of FedEx, UPS, and BNI saying their shipments are skyrocketing, CEOs of major retailers saying their same store sales are through the roof, and the jobless rate is plummeting, I'll be sporting the BIGGEST set of horns you ever saw....until then, I'll just hang out here near the cave...

    "New home sales flatline."

    Not to worry, though....the home buyer's rebate will be expanded and extended, as the gov. struggles to revive that particular bubble.

    David Van said what I was thinking, as I was reading...esp. the part about periodic rebalancing and/or culling the wheat from the chaff. Its a pretty broad spectrum from "day trading" to "buy and forget", LOL.

    He's also correct on the dividend issue. By hanging on, and reinvesting dividends, I've managed to accumulate some very nice, profitable positions. (Normally, my "rebalancing" consists of adding new money to where I think its needed).

    prudentinvestor,

    I have to disagree with you. According to the clip, the bank was being fined on a daily basis. Is it reasonable to expect the bank to continue such a situation? It appears from the clip, these models were basically out in the middle of the desert. Who the heck would want to live out there? There appeared to be little, if any infrastructure in place.
