It's absolutely idiotic to own SLV for two reasons, says technician Peter Brandt. First, he believes fans of silver get a far deal better trading the futures, rather than the ETF. Second, the daily chart remains in a strong downtrend, and a break much lower puts long-term support of $25.50 in play. Beyond that, the next major support is $20.75. [View news story]
As one of 17,360 Seeking Alphas who are alerted to news of SLV, this is unimportant news! I'll gladly use this idiotic hedge instead of the obviously even more stupid Gold! I suppose incendiary throwing about of "idiot" may apply to all-eggs-in-basket users. Why not try owning 2+ things and making sure the totality balances to zero losses?
Fundamentals, Technicals Or Insider/Analyst Sentiment: 2012 Review And 2013 Pick [View article]
Great concept. Got my attention not for Whole Foods, but that you looked at DWA Technical leaders. I have looked at the holdings of them, plus PFM (Div Achievers), plus PWC (Dynamic Mkt) and not exactly like SPY, looked through SPHQ ... the same plus "High Quality".
Discovered that drugs are a different place so tacked on an ungraceful fifth wheel and looked at the XPH though. Drugs are weird when part of finance!

Correct me if this is wrong, but - if there is a Contango on a thing though futures AND a parallel offering without contango, then somebody somewhere is going to be in an uncomfortable situation and this will slow down trades? Or what? Or are futures enough of an imaginary friend to fiddle with it and undercut their predictive "power" ?? (You can see I'm confused)
Was about to re-read Security Analysis and look over various equities - you've shortened my work by letting us know the Graham number is unknowable here. (Thanks I guess)
He shouldn't tell you that! :-) Any information feeds back in to a loop, even obscure anecdotal things stack up. Anyway, good article Mr.Plaxe, UNFI recently made one of my obscure screens, and I had held HAIN long ago (sold for cash, but probably shouldn't have.)
Humans have odd feeding habits, so I would tend to factor in a lot of lying about what people "say they will eat more of"...they mean well, but then aggressive marketing of cheap things grabs them by the wallet...
Cramer Has A Buy Rating On This $7 Stock That Yields 16% [View article]
People fail to pick up on Cramer's way of adding "with a grain of salt", to his pronouncements! (The too quick disclaimer the lawyers text-display during the show.) Also, many of his callers explain the context of a trade/investment, and he responds with a markedly contextual response (off the cuff). If you "hate" what he's doing, I'd advise you to think of him as giving estimates to individuals.
More important is his experienced and apolitical in the trenches viewpoint. Look, the insider stuff you hate, he is shining a light on it while rolling his eyes! Sectors. What the fools who "technically" send signals to each other through wavy lines WILL DO. etc.
While I appreciate the meaninglessness of that money, I would note that Sprint may have had zero money from such activities. And things scale differently.
Good points all around. But. Besides other apples to oranges, I see no mention from Ted (or anyone) that year vs year on AT&T is also incomparable. (Pears to Plums?)
T has, perhaps wisely, farmed off its boring Yellow Pages division. Unless I'm mistaken, this changes the "Non Wireless" % considerably and can no longer be projected in the same way for comparison vs S. Maybe the drag is gone and OTOH maybe some cash-cow property is missing.
A.K. is looking more seriously at non-US telecoms for both value and growth. Sort of pairs alertness. Pairs for pears :-)
(Disclose : T for now, looking at bargains in Italy, Portugal, etc - also monopolistic-like. Vodafone??)

Good article - fully understandable to most. greg4, perhaps you refer to the continuing tension between the Confederate States and the Union of States? :-/
