Searching Out the Optimal Portfolio of “Revelation” Stocks

Inside the Numbers for November; Big Buyers Only Tiptoeing

I wanted to close out November with a review of the performance trends in what I’ve categorized as fundamentally cheap stocks, using the S&P 500 as my universe.

Happy Thanksgiving

I hope you all had the opportunity to feel appreciation (and appreciated) today. I took the day off from research, to the delight and surprise of my loved ones.

Obama Speaks, and The Land Grab Has Been Set

I just finished listening to Obama’s press conference announcing the new economic team, and the market seems generally disappointed by the lack of juicy details. We wanted to hear how big the stimulus package would be, and we secretly hoped to hear that capital gains rates would be preserved to expiration.
