Thursday, May 30, 3:26 AM While service providers have been worrying about households ending their cable TV subscriptions, a bigger trend has been customers dropping wire-line Internet. With consumers being able to take advantage of faster cellular networks and the proliferation of WiFi, 1% of households ended their Internet subscription last year vs 0.4% for pay-TV. Comment! [Tech, Consumer]
Tuesday, January 8, 3:29 PM Vanguard's recent expense reduction means 9 of its 10 sector ETFs are now the cheapest available to U.S. investors. With an annual expense ratio of just 0.14%, VOX, VPU, VCR, VDC, VDE, VHT, VIS, VGT, and VAW stack up favorably vs. the 0.18% charged by State Street's Sector SPDRs (XLU, XLY, XLP, XLE, XLF, XLV, XLK, XLI, XLB and XTL which charges 0.35%) and the 0.47%-0.48% iShares sector ETFs (RXI, KXI, IYE, IYF, IYZ, IYH, IDU, IYW, IYM, IYJ) charge. At 0.19%, Vanguard Financials (VFH) is still slightly more expensive than the Financial SPDR (XLF). 2 Comments
Tuesday, January 8, 9:59 AM Just before New Year's, Vanguard cut fees on more than a third of its U.S.-listed ETF lineup while raising fees on just 2 ETFs. Its sector ETFs saw the biggest price cuts (from 0.19% to 0.14%) while its 2 small cap funds (VIOO, VIOV) actually saw slight fee hikes. Comment!
Monday, October 29, 2012, 1:15 PM Some areas of the dividend universe (telecom, utilities) may be pricey, but dividend stocks are not in a bubble, says ClearBridge's Mike Clarfeld. He suggests looking not just at the upfront yield, but instead at the ability of the company to increase the payout over time. "The sweet spot ... attractive dividends, but really dividend growers - we don't think they are overvalued at all." 1 Comment
Wednesday, October 17, 2012, 9:13 PM Currently weighting U.S. telecoms and utilities at zero in his dividend stock portfolio, Pimco's Brad Kinkelaar notes both sectors are trading at near off-the-chart premiums to their average relative multiple. Dividend investors would do better to look overseas, he says, where one can find companies that are growing, paying good dividends, and trading at better value. An excellent presentation. 7 Comments [Quick Ideas]
Monday, April 23, 2012, 7:57 AM Among the major ETFs seeing redemptions last week were the Industrial SPDR (XLI), losing 9% of its AUM, the Retail Spider (XRT) losing 6%, and the Vanguard Telecommunication Services (VOX), losing 12%. Among the top ETF creations were Semiconductors (SMH), gaining 31% in AUM, and the Euro (FXE), +21%. Comment!
Wednesday, January 25, 2012, 3:33 AM Ericsson (ERIC) -12.9% in Sweden after its poor Q4 results, leaning on fellow telecom equipment maker Alcatel-Lucent (ALU), -4.5% in France. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
Tuesday, January 10, 2012, 10:52 AM Liquidity in the telecom and cable sector remains strong, says Fitch, while margins are solid despite competition. These factors should provide a "sufficient buffer to material negative rating changes" in the face of economic headwinds. Of Fitch-rated issuers, 90% have a Stable Outlook, 5% are Positive, and 5% are Negative. Comment! [Tech, Consumer]
Thursday, May 19, 2011, 1:26 PM The real battle for smartphone combatants Apple (AAPL) and Google (GOOG) may not be against each other - it may be against dumbphones. While smartphones now account for a record 27% of phone shipments, that means the other 73% of the market has yet to be penetrated. Which means it may be less predictable (and less discountable) than expected. 6 Comments [Tech, Consumer, Quick Ideas]
Thursday, January 6, 2011, 12:36 PM Proper "earth shattering" news from CES could have a ripple effect on technology ETFs, says Tom Lydon. Given consumer hunger for advanced graphics capabilities, investors should pay special attention to semiconductor funds like SPDR S&P Semiconductor (XSD) and Semiconductor HOLDRs (SMH). And there's software and telecom potential, too. Comment! [Tech]
