Finding it difficult to buy shares in an IPO?

Though Initial Public Offerings or the IPOs are considered to be as good investments in the market, you have to remember that this isn’t for everyone. Individual investors usually find it hard to get their own shares. And the reasons behind this are numerous.
One reason can be linked to who controls the whole process. When it comes to IPOs in the market, it is the underwriters and the company who delivers the shares and control and the process. The SEC isn’t involved in the process and it does not regulate the process and much mo…

Mortgages 101: A Survival Guide For Today’s Homebuyer

I have recently received a few e-mail comments from readers asking me to expand on my previous article Understanding Mortgages, this article will answer many of the questions that were posed to me in those e-mails.
Mortgage and Housing Markets
Today’s housing market in most of the United States is a virtual candy store for the homebuyer. The sheer selection of properties on the market in most cities allows today’s homebuyer a tremendous selection at prices we have not seen in many years. There is only one problem however - lenders are tightening the purse strings on mortgage financing!

WSJ: Steelmakers Develop New Iron Recipes

Necessity is the mother of innovation - however it strikes me as strange with the “end of the commodity boom” imminent why people would bother? Ah, these people actually are *in* the industry and not a hedge fund computer. As we bring online another 2 billion humans to the plant, along with hundreds of millions more into cities and into 2nd and eventually 1st class living standards we are going to need many of these type of innovations in our “World of Shortages” scenario….

Pipelines from Alaska; Sarah Palin and Energy Independence; Profit from this

While reading a New York Times article on recent Republican VP Selection Sarah Palin of Alaska, I discover this:

Her intense pursuit of a pipeline to deliver natural gas from the North Slope of Alaska to market in the Lower 48 led to what her administration has claimed as a major triumph: the Legislature this summer approved her plan to give a $500 million subsidy to TransCanada, a Canadian…

Freddie Mac, Heads I win BIg,.. Tails I lose but not that much

The price of freddie mac currentlt stands at $4.50. At this price Freddie might seem like a good buy due to its risk reward ratio.For those who are not sure what freddie mac actually does, they are a governement sponsored entity involved in the purchase and guarantee of 30 year fixed housing mortgages with the purpose of managing liquidity in the mortgage market. They also by the way own a huge portfolio of bonds.The part of the mortgage market that they operate in is the conforming loans market. There have been many investment thesis on this company. Several investors are short it while some are long it. I am probably more inclined to the long side of it for several reasons….

Five for the Weekend #4 (Labor Day Weekend Edition)

You might have noticed I haven't been posting as much as I have in the past. Sometimes when that happens it is because non-blogging duties consume my time, even when I find things I'd like to post about. Lately has been a bit different. Non-blogging tasks have consumed my time, but there also hasn't been much that I wish I could post about if I had the time.Perhaps that's because nothing is going on (from the bottom-up prospective of a value investor) with the Labor Day holiday coming up. Or because everything got swallowed up by the Democratic Party convention in Denver. Either way, it just feels like we're muddling through and tolerating many stocks being underwater until investors at large see their value. And, with that, I offer up five items to read over the course of the three day weekend….

Bookkeeping: ‘Rising Tide’ Performance Year 2, Week 4

Year 2, Week 4 performance of the mutual fundComments: Yawn. We continue to churn. [Churn] Despite all the hectic moves this week the indexes were not wildly different than where they they were at the end of last week. Or the week before. Or the week before. Four weeks ago the S&P 500 was 1296; today 1283 - or a -1% move in return for wild daily gyrations. The fund is almost exactly the same spot it was 4 weeks ago - one PENNY higher. Whoop there it is. Again - the brokers executing the trades are the only one amassing any real wealth the past few months. Fact of the day - the S…

India’s Q2 Economic Growth Slows to 7.9%

It’s a global world, so we need to keep our eyes open to the world stage. India “slows” to 7.9% GDP growth which while lower than the 5 year average is a rate Western countries would dream to have. The question is when and at what pace do they bottom? Their central bank has been extremely aggressive at raising rates to try to stem inflation.India’s economic growth slowed to 7.9 percent in the April-June quarter from 9.2 percent in the same period last year …

Bookkeeping: Starting New Position in Alliance Data Systems (ADS)

Since it is hard to really hold on to any sector trend in this market for a sustained period of time, I’m trying to find some “special situations” to help create some longer term return. One such name might be Alliance Data Systems (ADS) a position I’m starting today near $64 for 1.5% stake. This is a relatively “boring” company but with high cash flow and some potential catalysts coming its way. C…

Bookkeeping: Getting Back some Energy Conversion Devices (ENER) and ReneSola (SOL)

I am replacing some solar exposure I sold off earlier this week. I continue to find this space very undervalued but valuation has meant little in this market for a long time - so we’ve relied on charts. I’m also wary of the type of reversals this group is infamous for. But we have 2 industry conventions coming up, Obama, McCain, blah blah and perhaps we can get sentiment to stick. The solar story is very global and has very little to do with America thus far, but investors in solar stocks are mostly American so it’s an interesting j…

Bookkeeping: Cutting Back Research in Motion (RIMM)

I pointed out the non confirmation yesterday in the tech leadership stocks - it was very strange on a big up day. Today, I’m cutting back Research in Motion (RIMM) - simply sticking to our laid out plan to cut anything that breaks support - RIMM just fell below its 50 day moving average so it’s going down from 1.0% allocation to 0.1% stake. This is yet another ominous “double top” formation. Frankly this is a chart I’d be shorting with a stop loss over $126… $115 seems almost destined….
