  • Investing in Stocks: Emotional vs. Financial Costs

    (Fri, 21 Nov 2008 03:24:48 -0500)

    Daniel J. Obrycki submits:

    Co-written by Rafael Resendes

    Over the past couple of months, worsening macro economic conditions, declining corporate profitability and a bottomless stock market have investors longing for the good old days when increases in GDP, declining unemployment, and higher corporate profits and sales resulted in a rising market.  When times are good, the emotional cost to putting money into the stock market is very low.  Who does not remember how easy and fun it was to make money in the late 1990s, when the market only seemed to go up?  Conversely, today’s emotional cost to investing is...

  • What Are Some of the Best Hedge Fund Managers Doing?

    (Wed, 19 Nov 2008 06:04:48 -0500)

    Keith Robison submits:

    It's 13F filing time again. Institutional money managers who oversee more than $100 million must report their holdings to the SEC each quarter in their 13F report. These reports can be used to analyze the position movements of the best fund managers in the industry. Sometimes they can even be used to figure out the manager’s current strategy, but keep in mind the funds that I am going to review are most likely hedged in some way. Also keep in mind that not every position held is shown in these filings and many of these funds have high turnover; so...

  • Hedge Fund Tracking: Thiel's Clarium Capital, Q3 2008

    (Tue, 18 Nov 2008 07:14:01 -0500)

    Market Folly submits:

    The second fund in the 3rd quarter edition of our 2008 hedge fund tracking series is Clarium Capital Management, LLC. Clarium is a $6 billion global macro hedge fund run by Peter Thiel, the co-founder of PayPal. 2008 has been a roller coaster year for Thiel and company. Earlier in the year, they were up over 45%. But, as market volatility increased, they began to give back their gains and now find themselves -2.8% for the year. This was in part due to a rough October, in which they were down 18% for the month,...

  • Bond Expert: Thursday Wrap

    (Thu, 06 Nov 2008 16:50:39 -0500)

    John Jansen submits:

    Prices of Treasury coupon securities posted mixed results today with a firm bid in the shorter securities and a dearth of bids in the longer maturities. The yield on benchmark 2 year note declined 6 basis points to 1.28 percent. (I believe the low yield in this cycle was 1.25 percent, and that was attained in the aftermath of the Lehman bankruptcy when money funds were seen wreaking systemic damage.)

    I will begin to include the three year note in my coverage as it has rejoined the fold. It trades at 1.80 percent. That puts it about...

  • 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...
