Daniel, Great article just like your others. But I wish you wouldn't refer to the Fed's actions as being stimulus. Bailout or rescue would be more applicable.

Because of the Feds actions, all markets have been distorted. At some point the true supply and demand factors will have to be reflected throughout the economy. Ben's cure could prove to be worse than the desease.
RAIT is now making a multi-year high. Its performance is even amazing me who was pretty bullish on the stock. I'm looking forward to the upcoming conference call on May 2. With the two cash infusions in the last two quarters by way of equity offerrings the equity base has solidified and they now have the financial resources to better grow the company. It will be interesting to see what management plans concerning that.

Doug,
Thanks for the article. You do a nice job on the fundamentals but it is the market technicals that concern me. I'm hoping that the dividend announcment will have a salutory affect on the way that the investment community appraises the stock.
An Update On PetroLogistics: Stay Long And Strong [View article]
Richard, When I invest in a stock I want the bottom of its price action behind me; not in front of me. If you look at a price chart on PDH you will see that the most recent of the top or bottom was the top. Once I make that decision I don't buy on weakness but I do sell on strength. That is technical rule number one for me. Rule number two is if I have been in a stock for a little while and the price drops below that which I paid, I admit I made a mistake and sell it to cut my losses short. I can't be afraid to admit I made a mistake because doing so too often results in big losses.
Right now it looks like the top in PDH is behind us and who knows how poorly the stock will act until the downtrend is reversed. At best, I expect it to be a dullard in the market except for the fact that it tends to be volatile on a daily basis.

Richard, The stock price chart that I use is of my own construction and its characteristics can be seen in any of the articles that I originate. I use price versus moving averages, relative strength, Bollinger Bands, and trading ranges. And my purpose is to look for trends and trend reversals. If you are going to use charts you have to update them frequently, preferably daily, to keep abreast of the trend and to get an early detection of a trend reversal. From a technical standpoint, I remain bearish on PDH. In my previous comment (March 14) I stated that I was inclined to be a seller of the stock.
Dana, You really do know how to stir the pot. You started by asking a rhetorical question and brought forth a flood of inconclusive replies. Thank God you are what you are and not one of the extreme right wingers in Congress.
Dana, This is a good time to become interested in JCP. At some point it could be a "buy" but I'll let the fundamentalist debate the pros and cons of that. I have JCP in my workbook and will track it on a technical basis. There is a pretty good chance that there could be a washout coming in the stock. With the change in management you can bet that the new CEO will want to write off everything that he can. After that, who knows? I might be a buyer for a bounce off the bottom for a trade more than as an investment.
That was a wonderful reply. We only go around once in life and you are seeking new challenges while doing what you enjoy doing. It reminded me of a favorite poem of mine called "The Guy In The Glass." Look it up on the internet. Never mind what others think of you. Be true to your own beliefs and you will reap whatever rewards you deserve. What more could you ask for?

A tip of the hat to you. It looks like the stock just needed someone to show some interest in it and you certainly provided the that in spades.
