Searching Out the Optimal Portfolio of “Revelation” Stocks

Adding Noble Corp, Seabridge Gold to Secular Trends Portfolio (NE, SA)

I’ve been sitting on larger-than-desired cash position of 12.5%, and waiting out what I saw as the potential for a 4-5% pullback in the major indexes. That pullback just doesn’t seem to have gathered its critical mass, with all due nods to the anemic volumes we’re seeing of late. Meanwhile I’ve been pouring over sectors [...]

The Not-Ready-For-Primetime Stock List

Several readers have asked me what particular stocks are on my radar these days.
The list is actually quite long, but unfortunately it’s chock full of companies that just don’t seem to grasp their own potential. But since I’m currently giving away my best ideas for free, I have no problem presenting a list of my [...]

And while all the oil majors are subject to the whims of crude prices lately, Petrobras has an under-leveraged balanced sheet (30% debt/equity) and attractive valuations of 5 times trailing [...]

If I devote too much time to parsing out the details of Lehman, Merrill, AIG, etc. I will lose track of the more important long-term goal - finding those great stocks [...]

Halliburton - Valuation Revisited

This is to be expected in a market with little in the way of broad direction or leadership, but with oil becoming so volatile on YoY levels, price movements have lost [...]
