Thanks for the article. As a novice trader it be would be helpful if you were able to explain the reasons why the markets should be regulated, and what effects an unregulated market place has on the economy. Thanks
Brocade did decently, up 23% in the past year, but down -2.2% since Jan 1st. Alternatives include; CSCO, and HPQ with market caps of $144.25bn, and $73.5bn respectively.
Perhaps one of the most obvious signs of a cyclical economy is in the sector of employment. For example, cyclical unemployment occurs as a result of of a downturn in aggregate demand. Demand is affected by by numerous factors including; consumer tastes and preferences, income, price of related goods and consumer expectations.
I think the housing data is very city specific. There are huge ranges within each state or geographic area. Take New York City vs Buffalo, NY or London, UK vs Newcastle, UK.
Sounds like you had some good recommendations that advanced nicely. Would be useful to see all your stock picks including the ones that declined (if relevant). Also, perhaps for many investors, the tricky part of investing is not just the entry point, but also the exit point - setting clear profit goals. Any thoughts?
Apparently the company has consistently increased its dividend for the last 18 years, having paid one to investors since 1816, but at 2.5% its not the highest dividend out there. I like the following higher dividend diverse sector stocks: PFE 3.1%, GE 3.8%, T 5.6%, and ED 3.7%. Any thoughts on these?
