It’s Alot Simpler Than I Thought

I am still destined to partake in extreme ETF winshippery; but you know I couldn’t just let the market climb without having a look under the hood. The formula for moderate stock market success appears to be so simple, almost too simple.

Find a company trading below 15x earnings, with a low p/s ratio, better than 5% revenue growth, and accelerating earnings, and I will show you a stock that is trading higher. I have a whole list of names that seem poised and primed to edge higher. As the rebels try to time bottoms in WDAY, older men with tootsie rolls in their pockets continue to increase their net worth–by picking value stocks and holding them. For their troubles, they even get a dividend  to boot.

April is over and it was my worst month since I lost a bundle during the Tulip craze of 1637. I’d like, very much so, to start back on the road to recovery. We appear to be in a very sweet spot for low multiple stocks. I realize these stocks have risen, but not all of them. There are companies out there worth exploring and I might just try my hand at one or two, as I wait for an oversold signal.

More on this tomorrow.

    The hide trade has a polar bear eyeing it no doubt. But old man stuff like GE looks low enough to run for no good reason.

    Just look at these charts of VGK and DVY. You could’ve just bought and held these and made a very handsome profit all while collecting dividends. I’m betting the returns on these from Oct. 2011 – today are a lot better than these idiot traders trading in and out every day and try to catch every up and down move.

      Jesse, Repost ”

      I’m a fib guy too. QQQ retraced 61.8 of recent correction on 4/24 and put in a higher low on 4/28. correction will be over if we put in a higher high………………Jesse, If you notice the QQQ 61.8% of the all time move from 2000 high happened in Dec, which is also when we hit 1755ish (lol, to that other guy that hates my ish). That level is normally really strong support, but with the SPX in the air and all the central bankers easing off QE, I see it not holding. What is cool, is that when SPX challenges 1755, QQQ should be challenging it’s all time 61.,8% at the sametime.

    IMO Nothing looks very attractive here. Stocks and bonds seem blown out and overpriced. Haven’t sold my longs but not interested in adding up here.

    And BTW, Fly “Alot” is a major grammatical error. I cringe anytime I see it because my English teaching mother hammered me anytime she saw it.

      I am fully aware of the grammatical error and yet still decided to write it anyway. Do you know why? I am not shackled by the rules they set out for you. I eat popped corn and you just eat popcorn.

    Hindsight always being so clear, it seems we witnessed HFT’s vs. Balanced Funds, over last 3-4 months, along with mfunder’s juicing profits along the way, who probably were selling high beta’s that juiced thru year end for some secret sauce bonus.
