Jerry Flint on Saving General Motors

To say Jerry Flint is a knowledgeable observer of the auto industry is a huge understatement. The gentleman has covered Detroit since the late 1950s. That doesn’t make him right on everything — and he’d be the first to tell you that. But it does make him worth reading and listening to.Flint’s latest Forbes column dwells on the perilous positions of the Big Three. He estimates Ford to be in the best shape (relatively speaking) and Chrysler in the worst. My portfolio holding, General Motors (GM/NYSE) is in the middle. It’s good stuff (the column, not any of the companies) and you’ll want to check it out if this subject interests you….

High Drama at the Cleveland Cliffs (CLF) Corral

Oh boy oh boy…Charts don’t lie. People do.I was completely flabbergasted to see Alpha Natural Resources (ANR) trading BELOW the stock price of Cleveland Cliffs (CLF) today. And yesterday after the initial spike in ANR which represented the underlying spread (or most of it) in the agreement, the stock began tailing off. Which was a head scratcher. For those not in the know.My guess is by that time yesterday AM…. Harbinger Capital - a hedge fund which owns 18%+ of C…

The Google (GOOG) Gap

I’ve been discussing the “gap” in the Google (GOOG) chart and how I felt it must be filled[Jul 1: Cutting Apple] I wroteThat chart of Google (GOOG) still strikes me as ominous and Google *is* tech nowadays. There is about a $60 gap that looks to be filled there - again I think this could be a wonderful short (I can’t do it but I would if I could) Set that stop loss over $540 and a wonderful low risk trade awaits - current price is $530….

Reader Investment Pledges mid July Update

Monthly update time. Another fantastic month where readers committed $792K towards our goal. This is once again far ahead of my projected run rate of $200-$225K a month, and considering how gosh awful the market is, I appreciate it. Just from anecdotal evidence, and talking to a lot of people offline who don’t follow the market day to day, there is simply a lot of disgust and “giving up” happening, after the past decade’s experiences. (for those newer to the market, many people have lost a lot both in the early part of the decade, and now again the past year) That is too bad, I am hoping that does not deter this project but it is certainly a worry at this point considering how the markets have treated people the past year, and for many - the past decade. Total dollars committed is now over $…

The excitement of tracking your most speculative names will most likely carry over to the rest of your holdings.

Bookkeeping: Selling Down some Homebuilder Exposure

We decided on the last rally in April/May that before the “next” correction (which did not take too long to surface) we were going to adopt a bit more of a barbell approach. That meant buying at least a few of the sectors we don’t like, for times just like this - when financials, homebuilders, and retail is jumping. This way we have something working at all times. Frankly on a day like yesterday, if we had the type of positioning we had in January and March (full fledged “global growth” stories while remaining hedged against financials and real estate) we’d of shown one of those days as we had in Jan/Mar where the market was up 2.5% and we were down 2%. But with this adjustment we actually outperformed the market yesterday even when almost half our positions were red to flattish. It helps when U…
