      more useful to tell us payout ratios and whether there has been an increase this year Aug 26 08:16 AM
    • Dividend Investment Myths [view article]
      agree with captain ccs: the point (a point) of buying dividend stocks is to take advantage of long term compounding. A ten year period would be more persuasive. Aug 26 07:54 AM
    • The Oil Bubble Will Meet the Same Fate as Tech, Housing [view article]
      A very well written and cogent argument. Against the argument that the bubble will burst soon are the facts that US demand no longer dominates the market and demand around the world is buffered by subsidies in many countries. But I agree with the sentiment.

      By the way, I made a 60 year crude oil chart today on a log scale and found a nice little channel (big channel actually) with resistance bang on 140 or thereabouts. It will be interesting to see if it is borne out by a top in the coming months.

    • Time To Buy Banks? Proceed With Caution. [view article]

    • GE's Selloff and the Market's Complacent Reaction [view article]
      I would have thought that the lack of extreme reaction would be taken as a sign of bullish divergence, rather than a sign of continued bearishness. The very mild new hi-new low ratio last Friday also suggests bullish divergence. See a chart of GE and a filtered new hi new lo histogram on my website. Apr 15 10:54 AM
    • GE Q1 Estimates Widely Off the Mark [view article]
      The yield is a ten year record. The previous high was in February 2003, when the stock was making the second of a double bottom. Check out bigcharts.com. Use the interactive chart option. Select Yield in the 'lower indicator' option and you can see the yield over the last 10 years. Pretty nifty. Apr 12 06:45 AM

      Trading volume was a whopping 366 million shares. That's a 10 year record and five times the previous record. I wonder why?

    • GE Drops a Bomb, But Options Traders Are Cautiously Optimistic [view article]
      A month or two ago, such news would have driven the Dow down 200 or 300 points. Friday's fall was modest by comparison. I wonder why? Apr 12 01:49 AM
