Selling ServiceMaster out of my 50 Stocks Portfolio
I wish I hadn't bought ServiceMaster Global Holdings (SERV) in my long-term 50 Stocks Portfolio back on December 17. But I did. It was a bargain then. It's not now. And now I think it's time to cut my losses after some relatively minor gains on March 24 (2.97%) and...
GM dividend looks safe for now after credit line draw down
General Motors (GM) drew down its $16 billion credit line today to maximize its financial cushion as the auto industry headed into a very uncertain future. The $16 billion drawdown adds to the $16 billion in cash that General Motors projects to have on hand by the end...
Selling HDFC Bank out of 50 Stocks Portfolio as India declares coronavirus lockdown
In normal markets I don't sell stocks out of my long-term 50 Stocks Portfolio on changes in market direction. This is definitely a buy-and-hold-ish portfolio. But these aren't normal times either for financial markets or economies and today, March 24, I'm selling...

Selling Nvidia today out of Jubak Picks Portfolio on belief that the downturn isn’t done
I'm taking advantage of the "Hope the White House has a plan" rally today to sell Nvidia (NVDA) out of my Jubak Picks Portfolio. Nvidia shares are up 3.05% as of 2:35 p.m. today, March 10, for a gain of $7.44 a share to $252.92. The shares are up 25.05% since my pick...
What now for Treasuries and their ETFs? Should you be buying even at record low yields? I’m adding shares of Vanguard’s 1-3 year Treasury ETF
I'd wager that almost nobody today is buying U.S. Treasuries for their yield. The yield on the 10-year Treasury broke below 1% to 0.9043% for the first time EVER. The 10-year finished the day with a yield of 1.01%. The yield on the 2-year Treasury fell to a low of...
Gold rallies today with stocks; is this the answer to the gold drop mystery?
Usually gold, a safe haven, time-of-fear asset, rises when stocks stumble and worries climb. Not during last week's big sell off in stocks. Then gold and gold stocks moved down along with stocks. Today, however, as the Standard & Poor's 500 rallied to end the day...
Buying General Motors in my Dividend Portfolio
I don't think the coronavirus stock market rout is over, but I do believe you have to be opportunistic about snapping up dividend yield during this correction. Today shares of General Motor (GM) were down another 2.12% as of 2:40 p.m. New York time. That brings the...
Selling SolarEdge Technologies out of Picks portfolio on odds of continued market drop
As I was prowling through the wreckage of momentum stocks in the last few days for my post on Tuesday, "They shoot momentum stocks, don't they" I noticed one very lonely spot of green. While stocks such as Nvidia (NVDA) and Twilio (TWLO) were down 11.64% and 12.28,...

SolarEdge rockets 17.94% today on analyst upgrades ahead of earnings today after the close
SolarEdge Technologies (SEDG) closed up 17.94% today ahead of fourth quarter earnings due after the close. Cascend Securities raised its target price on the shares by 17% during today's session. Today's jump will, of course, make it harder for the company to beat...Jim’s Stock Alerts
