Looking for a Reason to Sell

Kenneth Y. posted an article on Investcraft - The Art of Investing - Mar 25, 2011, 2:09 pm
When I recently asked my good friend and co-author Anand what he thought the impact of the Nuclear crisis in Japan and the turmoil in Libya would have on the stock market -- he responded "People just need a reason to sell. It doesn't have to make sense." I couldn't agree with that statement more.

Libya: What it means for Stocks

Kenneth Y. posted an article on Investcraft - The Art of Investing - Mar 3, 2011, 6:48 pm
A month ago, it was all about Egypt. This time, it's Libya. The difference between the two is that the Egyptian leader was fairly rational but the Libyan leader is seriously delusion and bordering on the insane. So what does that all mean for stocks?

Finally, there's some sense of stabilityin Egypt. Hosni Mubarak finally resigned as president of Egypt and the stock markets rejoiced. Actually, the stock market rejoiced twice -- once to his "rumored" resignation yesterday and then his actual resignation today.

Great Move by AOL to Buy HuffPo

Kenneth Y. posted an article on Investcraft - The Art of Investing - Feb 7, 2011, 3:32 pm
I'm not the first to say it but I think AOL's purchase of Huffington Post for $315 million was a great move. Whenever you invest in a company, you're really investing in the people. With the acquisition, AOL just added a real visionary to their management team.

As everyone has probably heard by now, Egypt's in turmoil. How does that affect our stock market? Well, more than ever, our stock market has been affected by headline news. People respond to the media and when the media hypes things up, the market reacts. Last year, it was all the hype around th...

Bank of America Corp – A Good Buying Opportunity

So it's been several months since I last updated. I felt pretty compelled to write about Bank of America (NYSE: BAC). At it's current price of $11.75, it's really a screaming buy. I believe the stock has been pretty battered due to a lot of negative press relating to it's foreclosure mess

Week Ahead

The last couple of weeks have been pretty brutal for the stock market. The volatility has skyrocketed and a lot of it has to do with irrational fears about Greece. I have said it once and I will keep saying it. Worries about Greece and Europe are completely overblown.

Making money in stocks is easy but Wall Street tricks you into thinking its hard and that you need to pay someone to do it for you. We now know that buy, hold and pray doesn’t work. The ONLY reason to buy a stock is to sell it at a higher price. Get that? Wall

Irrational Fears Causing Market Drops

It’s just ridiculous to see the markets drop the past week. I’m always one to believe that fundamentals and performance of a company, not irrational fears, should be the basis of your investment decisions. Unfortunately, the price swings on the NASDAQ and DOW are ultimately controlled by panic-s...
