There has been virtually no news out of Hanfeng Evergreen in the week and a half since I wrote them up as my “best idea of the month” at the end of June, and my opinion of the company and its potential future hasn’t changed. During that time, most of the big fertilizer names are […]

Selling CME Group — Too Foggy
I bought shares of CME Group not that long ago — a few months back, for a significantly higher price than I’m getting for my shares now (I’m losing something on the order of 20% on these shares). Why? Well, I bought CME Group because of their growing monopoly status as a trading platform for […]
2 Comments Read MoreBought more CapitalSource — speculative bottom feeding?
I recently picked up a few more shares of CapitalSource, mostly because I had a long-term limit order in for just a hair below $10. I am, in all honesty, not entirely sure about this one. I do like CapitalSource, but the next year seems incredibly uncertain — I think that they should do fairly […]

This article originally appeared on June 3, it has not been updated. “If you complete and return the 2-page form sampled above, your broker could pay you $2,100 in less than 2 weeks. What’s even more incredible is that soon after you could receive an additional check for about $1,200.” That’s the latest “free money” […]

I’ve written a few times in the past about the tempting teasers sent out by the folks at the Stansberry & Associates Dividend Grabber service … indeed, just the name of the newsletter itself is enough to dampen the lips — grabbing dividends, mmmm … Unfortunately, it doesn’t quite work out every time.

This teaser email has been rolling around for quite some time, I think — it at least triggered some memory bells, but I’ve never written about it and it’s still being actively promoted, so I thought it might be worth a gander. And of course, it’s an oil services company … so there’s no mystery […]

Hyflux Water Trust is now facing the first test of their business strategy. For those who don’t know, Hyflux Water Trust is a spinoff of Hyflux — the parent company is a developer of water treatment technologies and a builder of water treatment plants; the Trust was spun off to own and operate those plants […]
Leave a comment Read MoreHigh Yield Investment of the Month again … and again … and again
Let me just warn you up front — this is a rerun. But I calls ’em like I sees ’em, and Carla Pasternak runs this same exact ad so often that I get questions about it once every few months. This is no exception — she’s been calling this particular Closed End Fund (CEF) her […]

Well, I had a large irritation in my personal portfolio today — a margin call because my broker messed up some options transactions, but there’s no reason for you to care about that. What you might care about is that I promised to let you know what happens in my portfolio … so today, I […]
