Volatility in the Marketplace Podcast

by Thomas Mullooly on January 9, 2012

Podcast January 9, 2012

Even though the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index was essentially flat (up less than one percent) in 2011, we witnessed the most volatility in recent memory. However, the volatility might NOT be coming from the daily news that so many feel are driving the markets. In Bear markets (and we are in a secular bear market in 2012), there is (often) a tremendous increase in volatility. But the strange phenomenon about bear markets is they typically finish where they began. We also spend time in the podcast discussing why Mullooly Asset Management does not make market predictions and why predictions about the economy and predictions about the stock market are usually a waste of time.

We encourage our readers and listeners to our podcast to consult with their investment adviser before making a decision to buy or sell any investment.

And if you are relying on a podcast for specific investment advice, you are making a huge mistake. Please speak with an investment adviser before making ANY investment decisions.

John Dorfman

Weekly Commentary for February 15, 2011

***** ***** *****

Each week, John Dorfman (syndicated columnist from Bloomberg.com and chairman of Thunderstorm Capital in Boston) publishes a weekly column. If you live in central NJ, his column is carried each week on Sunday in the Asbury Park Depress. His column is published in many papers around the country.

Dorfman recommends several stocks each week. What WE DO is take *his* recommendations and look at them on a point and figure chart.  Dorfman is a value manager, he wants to buy beaten down companies at pennies on the dollar. The problem with the “value approach” is investors need the patience of Job to see if (and when) these recommendations ever work out.

We do not give our own recommendations on the podcast. We save those for you. Instead, what we do is take *his* ideas and see how they look on a point and figure chart. Now, if you have a tip or an idea you want us to put up on a chart, get in touch with us.

If you are relying on a blog post for specific investment advice, you are making a huge mistake. Please speak with an investment adviser before making ANY investment decisions.

If you do not have an investment adviser, we encourage you to contact Mullooly Asset Management at 732-223-9000, or through our website.

Spin Cycle

January 24, 2009

When I was in college, I loved listening to a local college radio station (WFUV, Fordham) that had a sports-talk show on Sunday nights.  The show featured something new: phone calls from listeners!  This was more than 25 years ago, before WFAN in New York, ESPN Radio and all the other sports outlets we have [...]

Why Momentum Matters

February 3, 2007

In the late 90s, when Internet stocks were starting to run higher and higher, there was no logical (fundamental) explanation why.  Those stocks were going up because they were going up.  They had positive momentum. These very same stocks started to crash a few years later.  Even though these companies were still growing like weeds, [...]
