Roubini bullish on everything! Psych!

4 October 2009 by Christopher Suleske

NOURIEL Roubini states the (I think) obvious:
“Markets have gone up too much, too soon, too fast,” Roubini said in an interview in Istanbul on Oct. 3. “I see the risk of a correction, especially when the markets now realize that the recovery is not rapid and V-shaped, but more like U- shaped. That might be [...]

Excellent unadvertised counsel (the ideal sort)

1 July 2009 by Christopher Suleske

I am still processing this read. It’s an interview with Ray Dalio, a well-respected Chief Investment Officer with an excellent track record. More importantly, he pulled out nearly 10% gains last year because he’s been on the watchful end of our economic situation. He appears to know what he’s talking about and [...]

Cramer blows his stack

6 August 2007 by Christopher Suleske

JIM Cramer loses it. Do you believe it’s as bad as he thinks it is? Is the Federal Reserve clueless?
UPDATE (2007.08.07 10:09) – My father in law and I discussed this and he is of the opinion that Cramer’s histrionics are largely rooted in his less than complete embrace of the free market [...]

The next big thing

1 August 2007 by Christopher Suleske

The FCC decided yesterday to experiment with governing the nation’s radio spectrum, the hugely valuable broadcast rights that enable TV and radio stations, cell carriers, and other wireless devices to operate without interfering with one another. The commission was setting the rules to auction a chunk of the spectrum that’s becoming available because TV stations [...]

I’m not saying to get out of U.S. stocks…

13 June 2007 by Christopher Suleske

BUT get out of U.S. stocks.
Please note that this is not investment counsel – not from me, at least.
I do not know everything. I only purport to recognize bunk and I’ve seen a lot of it.
Investments in which I continue to see growth: gold, foreign equities (foreign, as in nations not steeped in public [...]

How to profit from slumping “X”

11 September 2006 by Christopher Suleske

“X” is whatever – markets, commodities, equties, bonds, indicies, currencies – anything tied to something liquid.
I read a bevy of contrarian / pessimistic / downright dystopian literature nearly daily. Some of it is better in its content, suspicions, assertions, and analysis than others. It’s always interesting, however. Some contrarians tend to be [...]

The Interesting 135

8 September 2006 by Christopher Suleske

A quick visit to the Wikipedia’s listing of the Fortune 500 led me to wonder what that list, sorted by gross operating profit would look like. I took the list, sucked it into Microsoft Excel, divided profits by revenues, multiplied it by 100 to get a percentage and sorted on the new column. [...]

Technology Value Plays

8 September 2006 by Christopher Suleske

Don’t you just love when you make a financial decision that goes against the popular grain and later along comes some authority which supports your decision? Such is how I felt today when, in the span of one e-mail in my inbox, I read about 2 of my current holdings. Well, one directly, [...]

Another voice calling out from the wilderness

3 August 2006 by Christopher Suleske

Dave Eberhart has a good interview with U.S. Comptroller General David M. Walker at NewsMax.com. Good, if you consider knowing the truth at all cost – even when that cost is sleeping soundly. Walker warns the U.S. economy is heading speedily toward implosion and the Federal Government, insolvency.
Walker is not saying anything new. [...]
