  • Report from Europe: A Grounded Boeing to Drag Down the Dow? [View article]
    "Staying with currencies, am I the only one who thinks that the German DAX is defying gravity with the EUR/USD flirting with 1.50 given that they rely so heavily on exports?"

    Mole,

    Just a guess, but maybe a lot of those "exports" have redirected to the emerging markets. Esp. for a company like SI.....the Chinese, as well as others, need that high quality German stuff as they expand their economies.

  • Preview from Europe: Stocks Consolidate at Lofty Levels [View article]
    Mole,

    Too bad that "pending home sales" is a rather meaningless stat. Of more import, imo, is the weak employment number posted in the services sector.

    couldashoulda,

    Yeah, that's usually the case...a high yield results (at least in large part) from a falling price. The "trick" is trying to figure out whether the falling price is due to the "baby being thrown out with the bathwater"...(stock's in a sector thats being hammered), or whether there are serious problems with company. Also, are the problems only a quarter, or two of setback, or is the business model really "broken"?

    The only way to tell is by crunching the numbers.....and DS might read 'em one way.....you or I might read them another....sorry, no "free lunch", :-)
