  • Can a Stock Market Meltdown Happen from Here? [View article]
    Of course Heiko Seibel is not "a leading German stock market strategist". I happen to be German and I know his websites. Seibel seems to be a professional scaremonger who is trying to promote his stock market newsletters. At present, his "remedy" against the "coming" market crash is his currency trading newsletter.

  • Five Great Companies to Buy at a Drop [View article]
    Waiting for a dip can cost you dearly. Trying to time the market will get you nowhere. Colgate is a good case in point. Apart from the fact that CL already corrected (down from 80.98 in January to 68.21 a couple of days ago), by standing on the sidelines you would have missed today's big rally (CL up more than 8 %).

  • 8 Dow Stocks Likely To Outperform [View article]
    You stock market genius, find out first whether it is Proctor & Gamble or Procter & Gamble. Why should we take you seriously?

    By the way, what really matters is the dividend growth rate, esp. given the current inflationary environment. Of course, not a single word from you. And that guy wrote a book about stock-picking!

  • Proctor & Gamble: Consistency Is Crucial to Success [View article]
    If you want us to take your wish-wash seriously, find out first whether it is "Proctor & Gamble" or "Procter & Gamble".

  • Hedge the Recession with Staples and Sin Stocks [View article]
    Three objections:

    1. Tobacco: You can't assume that the tobacco companies will continue to grow their earnings like they did in the past. Regulatory issues used to play a minor role then. That has changed dramatically, with banning of public smoking in a lot of Western countries. Growth is only possible in emerging countries with much less affluent customers.

    Insurance: Oh yes, AIG (should you opt for the largest insurance company) makes a great hedge against recession these days (down 40 % since last summer and still falling).

    Go global: Invest in European stocks and this will only get you so far. For you are investing in a very strong euro. But what happens if the euro weakens against the dollar (which it eventually will)? Then the stock price has to increase more quickly than the value of the euro deteriorates. Doesn't sound like a safe hedge for a portfolio to me.
