Travis – Please give your thoughts regarding AWRE considering last week’s special dividend and corresponding big price drop. Much appreciated.

Travis : As a holder of National Oilwell Varco (NOV), and as a result of the recent (May 22) spinoff of their distribution business (NOW, Inc., ticker DNOW), I have been given one share of DNOW for each four NOV shares I own. Only a few $100 worth of DNOW – nuisance-value really. Hope you […]

Pembina Pipeline Corp (PBA) is the resident Gumshoe Core energy/oil holding. PBA has also been hit hard by the oil price crash. I like this company and plan to add to my holdings soon. I'd appreciate your current thoughts on PBA Travis.[...]

Travis - I'm interested in your thoughts on WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity Index (DXJ). This ETF hedges the Japanese currency so gains will be directly from the Japanese market. The European Central Bank might also be looking to pursue quantitative easing[...]

On Personal Buys and a Few Updates

Thanks Travis. AWRE is extremely oversold - the last time it had a weekly RSI under 30 was in December 2008. None of the other Core or Speculative stocks come close to this sort of level. Although not in the Tables, Africa Oil (which I hold) has also beco[...]
