Markets react on FED so turn your computer off and walk away

Server Yahoo posted several articles this morning in reaction to Mr. Market’s behavior today asking a basic question: “Is the market overreacting?” Well, in my opinion of course it is!

Next dividend paying stock worth adding to my portfolio - Kinder Morgan Partnership (KMP)

Stock sell off on every battle front continues. Well not every battle front but this shout sounded appealing to me so I used it. Yesterday and a few days ago I was interested in Realty Income, which fell from its parabolic run to sky heights. So it was obvious that it would fall. Many stocks Continue reading →

Mr. Market’s bad mood seisure

The stock market is in a selling mood. But the selling isn’t that bad yet. It can get worse, although today the DOW was losing a triple digit loss. When I woke up this morning – and I heck didn’t want to – I saw my account completely in red. The biggest losers were REITs Continue reading →

Market slid again today and the “we-know-the-future” experts out there are competing among themselves who comes up with the best reason why.

Is Lorillard offerring another buy opportunity?

Is Lorillard offerring another buy opportunity?

I think Lorillard is offering another buy opportunity. On Friday session the stock dropped by 4% and hit 200 day MA.
