Mullooly Asset Management Podcast for April 20, 2011

by Thomas Mullooly on April 21, 2011

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.

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

Under no circumstances should any of the content discussed on this podcast be considered investment advice.

This week, John Dorfman talks about “inside” information.  Why would insiders buy their own stock? Is it really an indication that the stock will move higher?

Hang on. What do really wealthy people hate doing?
They hate paying taxes.

Of course it’s unlikely a guy like Michael Dell is going to sink ten million into something that will generate a lot of taxable income – like buying/selling stock.

Would he put it into CDs?  Have you seen what the rates are?
Not to mention that’s taxable, so that’s out.

And there’s no chance that some insurance guy is going to sell him one of those principal protected annuities.

What about tax-free bonds?  Maybe, but if interest rates move up, he’s sunk.

Real estate?  No chance.

Insider buying is not the best or most accurate predictor.  And as our listeners know, we hate predicting.
Here at Mullooly Asset Management, we’d rather stick with Point and Figure.
PnF tells us precisely what’s happening now – not what might work, could work, or should work in the future.

We’re won’t predict.  Want to know what’s working right now?
Give us a call at the office.

Mullooly Asset Management Podcast for April 14, 2011

by Thomas Mullooly on April 21, 2011

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.

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

Under no circumstances should any of the content discussed on this podcast be considered investment advice.

In this week’s John Dorfman column, he makes an analogy between the 30-30 club in baseball and his own 30-30 club for businesses.  To make his cut, the stock has to have a 30% return on stockholders equity in the last year and 30% average annual earings growth over the past five years.

Here’s the point:  30-30 in baseball isn’t such a big deal anymore. The same goes for businesses.

Who cares if stockholders’ equity grew be 30% in the last year?
We want to know what’s happening this year.

Even though some of the names are in positive trends, I don’t like relying on fundamental analysis.  If you buy a stock because some analyst expects (PREDICTS) an average annual growth, you’re sunk if those earnings don’t perform as expected.

As an investment adviser, it’s not prudent for me to make “blanket recommendations” – if you have any questions, call us at the office and we’ll talk about the names on the list.

Here’s the real kicker: at the end of the article, Dorfman discloses that he only owns one of the names on his Elite list.
John, if you really feel a particular stock is “elite”, do your clients a favor: BUY IT.

Back On Offense

January 12, 2010

Just what the heck does that mean…”back on offense?” When I refer to “offense” and “defense” I mean which team currently controls the momentum of the market. If the defensive team is on the field, then “supply” is in control.  If the offensive team is on the field, then “demand” is in control.  When the [...]
