  • Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News [View article]
    Wow, what a quarter insurance companies have had! No weather or earthquake disaster. Long AIG, HIG, & AFL. Think it will last? Me don't know.

    Since fixed income investments are low, my premiums are high (auto/home). Maybe the reason why in the last 3 years, while getting my car crunched by 2 teen tweeters, I pay an additional $ 300 per year for auto as teen insurance company wouldn't pay right a way. Forcing me to rely on my good ole insurance company for repairs. Eventually other insurance paid in full, but I get 2 hickies on my auto report resulting in 5 years of additional payment penalties. What about depreciation via Car Facts? Me thinks this is a scam. Making it up and more on my insurance company investments, for the time being. This is a national deal unless prevented by state law. No state law, yet, in my state.

    Baby boomers are retiring early, some cuz they can and some cuz they can't find employment. Employment difficulties for 50+ yoa folks happens every recession, especially now due to additional health care costs.

    Deer.... Agree with the Skilling comment, reason for 10 reduction was mostly likely $ 40m payout he agreed to to go to some victims of the fraud.

  • Chipotle (CMG) dips in the post session, giving back most of the day's gains after hedge fund manager Jeff Gundlach repeated his short thesis on the company during his presentation today at the Ira Sohn Conference. “All you need to compete with CMG’s core business is a taco truck,” he quips. In fact, Gundlach takes it a step further, saying he's not interested in virtually "anything related to middle-class consumer discretionary income.” [View news story]
    What was Gundlach's return for the last 4 years? If that was his position, he missed a lot of opportunities. Absolutely the dumbest statement I have heard from a so called investor.

    Self serving bs. In the long term, who cares. What a idiot, what did FOSL do today? I guess it must be the upper class buying all of the stuff. MCD? BA (who flies?), PG (soap), NFLX? If he had my money, I would fire his butt today.

Fusion-io, which announced a CTO change only last week, is reaffirming its FQ4 guidance[View news story]
    If their technology is so great, they would have more than 3 customers that represent 80%, or so, of revs. I smell a buyout brewing.

  • Today's Market News To Trade On: 5 Stocks Moving On News [View article]
    A seasonal thought, look at insurance companies around Thanksgiving and hold through this time next year to limit exposure to weather related issues. Never can tell when a disaster will occur, ie, earthquakes, but all insurance companies are "hitting out of the park" now. Was lucky I was in several insurance stocks in late fall '12. However, come late fall '13, I look to try it again. Good luck and simply an idea and not, obviously, a fool proof deal.

  • Twenty Dividend Stocks I Recently Purchased For My IRA Rollover [View article]
    Great article and chart. Thanks. New one, since Jan 1, is ABBV which was spun off of a great divi producer, ABT. ABBV is the pharma part of ABT and yields 3.51. Down today after being up 35% since Jan 1. Adding more on pull backs. Good luck.
