Why I'm Sticking With Valero
The Curious Investor submits: Last week, Valero announced the postponement of a major capex project in Port Arthur, a guidance towards a second quarter loss, and a dilutive stock offering. Basically, a triple whammy that sent the stock tumbling from $22 to $18, a near 18% single day loss....

Why You Should Be in Cash Now
The Curious Investor submits: The markets have rallied nearly 50% off their lows, but the last two weeks have been decidedly slower. Are we about to correct back downwards? How severe will it be? I’ve been more focused on bottoms-up fundamental stock ideas over the last few months, but having...

Sears Holdings: Technical Analysis Is Not Clairvoyance
The Curious Investor submits: Been meaning to write this post for a while, but it seems that my patience has paid off as I have even more chart evidence to work with. And, that is the main point of this post. Technical analysis is not a means for predicting...

While the traditional acquisitions, cash used in investing activities, and minimum guaranteed payments for ad inventory (i.e. MySpace) were scrutinized, particular media attention was placed on Google’s rate of hiring.

S&P 500: Finally, Bottoming?
The Curious Investor submits: In October of last year, Warren Buffett wrote an op-ed in the New York Times announcing his intention to buy U.S. equities. In the months since, we’ve seen the markets oscillate wildly but ultimately head only further down into its trough, sparing no one in...

Befriend the Trend, Even in this Market
The Curious Investor submits: A reader of my last post on Google’s current stock performance, took issue with my statement: It is interesting to note that, in the area marked in the above graph, all short term indicators were overwhelmingly positive just before Google’s swift and violent...

Private Equity: What Have You Done for Me Lately?
The Curious Investor submits: Recently read an article, “Texas Pacific Group Made Money On J. Crew, Did You?,” that seems to paint a rather damning picture of private equity, particularly Texas Pacific Group and its investments. The article makes note of the fact that TPG recently sold the last...

ISIS' Short-Term Trends Demonstrate When Technical Analysis Is Important
The Curious Investor submits: This is a follow up to my post, “ISIS Pharmaceuticals breaches long term support.” As many of you may know, posts from this blog are often though not always syndicated on SeekingAlpha.com. In the case of my previous post on ISIS, I caught significant flack...
