  • Big company boards' get 11% raises in '08 to $2 m

    (Wednesday, November 19, 2008 1:39 PM)

    NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Board directors for companies in the Standard & Poor's 500 index gave themselves, on average, an 11% raise in 2008 for a total compensation of $2 million per company, according to preliminary data from the Corporate Library on Wednesday. Median total compensation for each director is now just under $200,000 a year, the independent research firm said. "Directors in the S&P 500 have a clear differential, earning almost twice the overall figure for total compensation at the median," the Corporate Library said. "They also earn higher median option awards and stoc???

  • Dow Member Changes Since the 10/02 Low

    (Thu, 20 Nov 2008 10:34:00 -0500)

    Hickey and Walters (Bespoke) submit:

    The Dow Jones Industrial Average is still about 15% above the bear market closing low on October 9th, 2002, but half of the index's current members are now down since then.  Below we highlight each Dow member's percentage change since 10/9/02.  As shown, McDonald's (MCD) is up the most at 241%, followed by Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), Exxon Mobil (XOM), Chevron (CVX), and Caterpillar (CAT).  Surprisingly, financial giant JP Morgan (JPM) is also one of the best performers with a gain of 108%.

    General Motors (GM) is, not surprisingly, down the most since...

  • S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats and Your Portfolio

    (Mon, 10 Nov 2008 15:36:35 -0500)

    Avi Morris submits:

    Portfolio income has become increasingly important after stocks have gone through one of the worst market declines since the depression. These difficult times may require significant base building for stocks before markets resume an upward climb. The S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats include 59 companies from the S&P 500 with dividend payments that have withstood the test of time. To be included, companies need a track record of at least 25 years consecutive years of higher dividend payments. Many have track records of 30-50 years and more.

  • Dow Price Targets

    (Tue, 04 Nov 2008 17:17:32 -0500)

    Hickey and Walters (Bespoke) submit:

    Below we highlight consensus analyst price targets for the 30 stocks that make up the Dow Jones Industrial Average. As shown, Alcoa's (AA) price target is currently the highest above its actual price at 52%. AA is trailed by [[HPQ]] and [[INTC]] with price targets 40% above current levels.

    General Motors (GM) is the only stock in the index with a price target that is lower than its actual price. With the record of analysts these days, price targets should be taken with a grain of salt, but we thought...

  • A Buy & Hold Forever Dividend Stock Portfolio

    (Mon, 03 Nov 2008 08:10:49 -0500)

    Devin Hobbes submits:

    This year's market turbulence has many investors calling the buy and hold strategy dead. Let's prove them wrong. My musings (here and here) on holding dividend paying stocks forever have inspired me to make a new, all dividend paying stock model portfolio.

    It's composed of 43 stocks and one ETF, and is based on minimal research (more research is always better, but the goal here is to show how it doesn't take an investing maven to succeed with a relatively diversified dividend stock portfolio). Almost all the stocks were selected because they're household names that pay...

    Avi Morris submits:

    Portfolio income has become increasingly important as stocks have gone through one of the worst market declines since the Great Depression. These difficult times may require significant base building before markets resume an upward climb. The S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrat list is of 59 companies from the S&P 500 with dividend payments that have withstood the test of time. To be included, companies in the S&P 500 need a track record of at least 25 years consecutive years of higher dividend payments. Many have track records of 30-50 years and more.

  • Options Trader: Thursday Outlook

    (Thu, 23 Oct 2008 10:01:59 -0400)

    Phil Davis submits:

    The market has a lot of work to do to test our bottoms today.

    The Dow has 788 points to fall before retesting 7,731, the S&P is 57 points above 896, the Nasdaq is 73 points away from 1,542,  the NYSE only needs 294 points to hit 5,336 and the Russell is 34 short points away from 467.  These are all spikes down that were hit on October 10th and all are a bid day’s move away in this volatile market. ...

  • Bargains Abound in Four Large-Cap Leaders

    (Thu, 23 Oct 2008 09:14:06 -0400)

    James Cullen submits:

    I’m set to give another presentation (see the slides) at the Boston College Investment Club, focused on recapping what’s been happening in the world the last two weeks, and I plan on editorializing a bit in presenting a new market outlook. Because however you slice it – two weeks with the S&P down 11%, or one month with the S&P down 25% – those are substantial moves driven by distressed sellers unable to make patient, rational decisions, and that means there are opportunities out there.

    As you’d expect, my presentation is rather negative. If that’s a...

  • Sign of the Times: Ethanol Boom Goes Bust, Utilities, Energy and Consumer Staples Hit Hard

    (Wed, 22 Oct 2008 10:18:22 -0400)

    Jessica Johnson submits:

    Six of the biggest publicly traded U.S. ethanol producers have lost more than $8.7bn (£5bn) in market value since the peak of the boom in mid-2006 and the beginning of this month, according to the Financial Times. The newspaper focuses on Aventine Energy (AVR), VeraSun (VSE) and Pacific Ethanol (PEIX), where one of Bill Gates' private investment firms lost millions in 2005.

    All of these stocks have seen considerable short covering three to four months. The percentage of AVR's Market Cap out on loan to short investors has decreased from 19% in July, down to 6% now. VeraSun has...
