Market Timing Buries 'Buy and Hold' in Asset Allocation

Great article, thanks! Buy/hold died 10 yrs ago and even then it was mediocre at best.

Changyou.com IPO: Reminiscent of the Tech Bubble Era

A company that is growing revs and earnings at 400%/yr priced at 6x earnings is a steal. This will be a fun ride.

Fed Intervention, Market Response Confirm: We're on the Path to Hyperinflation

Cuomo also said that the markets were dropping due to rumor-mongering by the short sellers a year ago. He implied the banks were fine. Cuomo is clueless.

Fed Intervention, Market Response Confirm: We're on the Path to Hyperinflation

Philman, do you even know what a 10yr Tbond or a 10yr TIP represents? Its the market estimation of what those yields will be for the next 10yrs (duh?). The Dow or any other stock index represents whats happening now. Its not called the 10yr or the 5yr Dow for a reason. Seriously, if you don't understant these basic concepts you should not even be trading.

If you want to buy gold go ahead and enjoy your 3% ave annual return like it has for the past 25yrs. The fact that you're still holding your stocks that have dropped 50% instead of selling everything in 2007 like I did is further proof that you simply don't understand the markets at all.

Fed Intervention, Market Response Confirm: We're on the Path to Hyperinflation

Stop trying to scare people. We are not on the path to hyperinflation. The market even says so. The best indicator of inflation is to compare the yield on the 10yr Tbond with the 10yr TIP yield. Right now that spread is about 1.3% which means 1.3%/yr annual inflation for the next 10yrs. Focus on the data, not your emotions.

10 Top Dividend Stocks of the S&P 500

As those high yielding stocks get into more and more trouble those dividends are sure to be cut. Its either that or those companies will go bankrupt. What's the point of a 30% dividend if you lose 100% of your investment?

How Far Could Oil Prices Fall?

The bottom line is that oil could do anything and nobody knows how far it could fall. If one wishes to profit from oil its best to just go with the flow (and not guess at what it will do) and follow the stats...

Risky Waters, But Opportune Waves

Also there are plenty of money making opportunities in bear markets (shorting financials and automakers, buying gold and oil) too so no need to focus only on "sidestepping losses" during bear markets.

Risky Waters, But Opportune Waves

Not really. It seems to be way too loss-averse though. I don't think that the goal should be to "sidestep" losses in bear markets or in any markets. I think the goal should be to minimize losses but never try to completely avoid them. Losses are a normal and natural part of good trading.

More on Technical Analysis

yogatrader, we could ask you the same question. Why are you telling us you trade against Black-Scholes? Why not just continue trading quietly? Why does warren buffett talk about how he trades?

More on Technical Analysis

Yeah, and also James Simons at Renaissance Technologies who manages oh about $30 billion uses technicals and statistics and has a long term track record of 38%+ annual return (and thats after 40%+ fees!!).

A funny thing about Buffett, his number one rule when buying companies is that they have to have long and stable operating histories. Well companies with long and stable operating histories have long and stable price trends. Stocks with long and stable price trends have good technicals. So in reality is he is buying stocks with good long-term technicals.

High Likelihood of a Market Crash

Markets rarely crash when everyone thinks they will. I can't believe all the negativity Im reading about the market nowdays. To me thats a bullish indicator. Either way, its doesn't matter. One of the keys to making money is to assume the market can crash at anytime and set yourself up so that your risk is minimized if it does crash.

More on Technical Analysis

No indicator, fundamental or technical, works on all stocks at all times. It makes no sense at all to say that technical analysis "doesn't work". If it truely didn't work then you could simply reverse the signals and buy when it says sell and sell when it says buy, then it "would work" right? The key to making technical analysis (or any analysis) "work" is to use statistics. You have to backtest the signals on historical data and see which indicators work best for which stocks.
