VXX Sux!

We have noted many times the poor structure and performance of the iPath S&P 500 VIX Short Term Futures ETN (NYSE: VXX ). But as you can see in the chart below of VXX (black) versus VIX (yellow), it has performed even worse than we could have imagined in the past three months.   Since July 21, VXX has pared a jaw-dropping 45%, while VIX has lost only 20%. That’s incredible when you consider VXX should only move about half of VIX on a given day. That guideline apparently only works on days when the VIX is up, and we have not seen too many of those since July. Let’s say you were unlucky enough to own VXX back then at 27. How far would VIX, which was at 24 in mid-July, have to rally to get you back to even? The answer is pretty darn far. The course of VXX is very path dependent. That is, there’s no rule that says if VIX is “X,” then VXX will go to “Y.” It depends how long it would take VIX to get to “X,” and how closely nearer-term VIX futures track the move to “X.” In other words, if futures believe VIX will stay at “X,” they will rally sharply. If they believe the move to “X” is a one-off pop that won’t sustain, they won’t track so closely. So let’s say VIX doubles or so to 40 in the next week. It’s highly unlikely, but it could happen. The VIX nearly did that in May, albeit with a lower starting level. Right here, right now, VXX predominantly consists of November VIX futures, so we can use those as a proxy for VXX. What would November futures do if VIX soared to 40 in fairly quick order? They would track some of that move, but likely maintain a decent discount. No one is assuming a 40 VIX will hold for a month right off the bat. So let’s say November VIX futures go to something like 33. Well, conveniently, they trade at 22 now, so that’s a 50% lift. If VXX exactly proxies that move, it will lift 50% … all the way back to 20. Yes, that’s right. In mid-July, VIX was 24 and VIX was 27. In a late October crash, that moves VIX to 40, and VXX will have trouble even getting over 20. And trust me, I leaned toward optimistic assumptions here. In a week, VXX will contain more December VIX futures than it does now. And if VIX explodes, the VIX term structure will invert from the current contango to more of a backwardation. And December VIX futures now trade 24.5. So they may only rally about 33% or so in this VIX pop, further dampening a potential VIX move. To get VXX back to that magical 27, you might need to see VIX pop to the 50s, or even the 60s. It all depends on the timing. A slower pop in VIX would ultimately work better for VXX, but of course, that also means you would need to wait longer for the VXX pop. In short, VXX sux as a trading vehicle!

Market News: Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG), Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)

Here is another batch of news briefings which could affect stocks on world markets in trading later today. The following companies should see some movement: Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG), Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL). Here is a more detailed look at the news that will affect each company when trading continues. Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) has launched a standalone YouTube application for Froyo. On a move to split one more application from the Android platform, Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) has released Froyo as another standalone application.  The search engine giant had come up with a separate Gmail client last month. The newest application is available for handsets running on Android 2.2 or above. It was reported that the updated features include in-page playback, the option that allows users to read comments while watching videos. Other notable features include the option to rotate to full screen, home screen personalization, and shooting videos and uploading them directly from the application rather than opening a separate camera client. Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT) Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) has sold 240 Million licenses of Windows 7 in the first year. Brandon LeBlanc, a Windows Communications Manager at Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT), wrote in a blog post that the company could sell 240 Million licenses in a single year, making Windows 7 as the fastest selling operating system in the history. LeBlanc said that "Six months after launch, 100% (over 18,000) of our OEM partners were selling Windows 7 PCs versus 70% for Windows Vista PCs at a comparable time period.

An Outrageous True Story: Why People Don't Trust Banks

dow2664

Last week, my mother went into a branch of a major banking institution, the same branch she had been going to for many years. She wanted to get something out of her safety deposit box, so she filled out the form, showed the clerk her key, and waited while the clerk went in the back. (My mother usually goes into her safebox about once a month.) After waiting for ten minutes, my mother finally asked one of the tellers what was taking so long. The teller went to check and came back with the clerk who told my mother that they had no record of her having a safe deposit box there. My mother told her that was ridiculous, showed the woman her key and driver’s license, and said that she had been going into her box regularly for years. Then the clerk asked her if she was in the right branch, and she replied that of course she was in the right branch, she never used any other branches. Finally the branch manager came over, and asked what the problem was. When my mother told him, he went in the back. After a very long wait, he came out and said that he couldn’t find any record of her having a safebox. My mother said that she had to get into her box. The manager said “I’m sorry, there is nothing I can do.” Apparently, there has been a recent turnover of employees at the branch. One of the tellers who did know my mother said that she saw that the safebox signature cards were moved from a drawer to a metal box, and maybe her signature card got lost in the transfer. Anyway, my mother finally left, completely stunned, stressed, and devastated, without being able to get access to her safety deposit box. My questions to you, dear readers, is: 1. What would you do if this happened to you? 2. What would you do if this happened to your mother who lives 500 miles away, and asks you what she should do?

Mobile Games Gold Rush Continues

DeNA Co.’s $400 million purchase of iPhone game maker Ngmoco was just the beginning. Large corporations are spending big on mobile game developers, looking to cash in on the burgeoning app market as the Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) App Store, Microsoft’s (NASDAQ: MSFT ) Windows Phone 7 Zune Market, Nokia’s (NYSE: NOK ) Ovi store, and Google’s (NASDAQ: GOOG ) Android App Market bring in the dollars from an ever-growing audience millions strong. Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: ERTS ), already one of the five most profitable social and browser game publishers, has added one more mobile game developer to its growing stable. Electronic Arts purchased U.K. mobile publisher Chillingo for $20 million in cash yesterday. Chillingo is the publisher behind break out iPhone App Store hits Angry Birds and Cut the Rope , titles that have dominated the App Store charts in recent weeks. Rovio Mobile, the creators of Angry Birds , and Zepto Lab, Cut the Rope ‘s designers, remain independent following the acquisition but it’s likely that Electronic Arts will hire them to develop software based on their existing intellectual property. Electronic Arts isn’t the only company following DeNA’s lead. Shanghai-based game operater The9 (NASDAQ: NCTY ), which became a major player in the game publishing industry when it  began distributing Activision Blizzard’s (NASDAQ: ATVI ) World of Warcraft in China, has joined with Intel Capital (NASDAQ: INTC) in investing a total of $8 million in the Burlingame, Calif.-based Aurora Feint.  Aurora Feint is the creator of OpenFeint, an online gaming network not dissimilar to Microsoft’s Xbox Live or Apple’s Game Center. The service connects game players across a variety of mobile platforms, including both Apple’s iPhone and hand-held devices running Google’s Android. OpenFeint already supports more than 3400 games across the services and is partnered with major game publishers, including the Square-Enix owned Taito, Konami (NYSE: KNM ) subsidiary Hudson Soft, and Capcom. Intel Capital, Intel’s investment arm, and The9 are likely strengthening Aurora Feint’s operation in the hopes of attracting DeNA into making another high-profile buy in the mobile gaming space. While Ngmoco has developed a number of successful downloadable games for the iPhone, it is also the creator of the Ngmoco Plus+ online gaming network, a competitor of Aurora Feint.  DeNA also has a 20% stake in Aurora Feint, meaning that the two networks could be merged under a single banner. The new network would be established enough to combat both Apple and Microsoft’s gaming networks on mobile platforms. Elsewhere in the mobile game space, while major publishers are moving quickly to secure their control of the emerging mobile game space, game retailers are attempting to establish their own foothold on smartphones and other handhelds. North American retailer GameStop (NYSE: GME ), a company whose profits have wilted as consumers increasingly move away from physical game purchases toward digital and browser-based options, has released its first game on the Apple App Store.  Buck and the Coin of Destiny is both a game and a marketing tool, in that it stars the rabbit spokescreature featured in the company’s print and television advertising. Investors are advised to keep an eye out for IPOs from independent developers like Rovio Mobile and Zepto Lab. Apps and mobile games are one sector that is seeing serious growth at the end of 2010. As of this writing, Anthony Agnello did not own a position in any of the stocks named here.

What Geithner Wants & What Geithner Gets

Living standards in the West are certain to fall as Asian wealth grows…

“There are more tears shed over answered prayers than over unanswered prayers…”
Teresa of Ávila, patron saint of headache sufferers

IT’S NOW five years and $1.7 trillion of Chinese foreign-currency reserves since the People’s Bank ended a decade-long peg to the Dollar, writes Adrian Ash of BullionVault.

Throughout the mid-to-late 1990s’ Asian Crisis, and again as the US currency first began its long decline in the early Noughties, Beijing had defended 8.3 per Dollar. Its rising power – plus grumblings from trade partners – made some level of appreciation inevitable, but only if Beijing kept it strictly controlled. So back then, as today, China refused to even begin making the Yuan freely convertible – and thus accessible to foreign investment – but for very different reasons.

The fear when China carefully recalibrated its Dollar peg in 2005 was of foreign speculators driving the Yuan lower. Whereas in 2010, it’s got the opposite problem. Grabbing export share (and that mountain of foreign-exchange reserves) by suppressing its currency way below any measure of “fair value”, Beijing clearly fears a repeat of the Japanese bubble-and-bust that followed 1985′s Dollar-weakening Plaza Accord. Because since first loosening the Yuan’s Dollar peg (if only a little) half-a-decade ago, China has overtaken Japan as the world’s No.2 economy, and become the world’s top importer of copper, biggest user of cement, No.1 consumer of energy, edible oils, soybeans, rice and wheat, and the No.2 destination for physical Gold Bullion.

Yes, China’s currency should reflect this growth, at least according to non-Confucian theories of floating currencies and trade rebalancing. No doubt it will in due course, too. But if US Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner were to get his wish at the G20 meeting this weekend – which he won’t, not yet – and the Chinese Yuan did bear a greater share of the Dollar’s global devaluation, Beijing’s impact purchasing power in the food, energy and mineral markets would only grow greater.

So where Timmy might want to watch out is that the appreciation in China’s purchasing power must come at the expense of today’s freely convertible currencies.

First, Beijing likely holds some $2 trillion or more of the “big four” reserve currencies – Dollars, Euros, Sterling and Yen. Gresham’s Law says it’s more likely to spend those holdings ahead of its own, increasingly valuable money, as it buys ever-more food, energy and mineral resources to meet its surging domestic demand for a better standard of living.

Second, and should the Yuan extend its global usage from this year’s McDonalds’ bond float to central-banking reserves, the relative loss of purchasing power in Dollars, Euros, Sterling and Yen will only accelerate further. Together, the Big Four account for 96% of forex reserves according to the IMF, but that’s the lowest proportion since before the late ’90s Asian Crisis – a crisis which Beijing managed to avoid but remembers all too well.

Third, and most critically amid the global currency war – a war which will not be settled over the conference table for as long as Western central-bank policy remains fixated on currency inflation – flows of “hot money” are rightly expected, not least from US, UK and Japanese wealth fleeing zero-per-cent rates at home.

As it is, China is gently loosening controls on money outflows, but only a little, and actual outflows of Yuan remain blocked. So trying to preserve its global value, retained wealth in the West cannot get direct exposure to the currency (nor the equities at present) which will increasingly put a price on the biggest trend of the 21st century – the Eastward shift of global demand and consumption.

Even if China does liberalize (which it won’t any time soon) retail investors will be last in the queue. So a fair proxy, meantime, remains buying hard assets and natural resources. It also gets to the heart of the problem, because living standards in the West (by way of our global purchasing power) are certain to fall long-term. Asia’s growing use of world resources must come at our expense, in just the same way as the Pound Sterling’s first fall from top-dog currency status – starting some seven decades ago, and running pretty much ever since – made for a relative loss of wealth to the United States.

Most clearly amid the currency turmoil only just getting started, China’s ever-growing demand for Physical Gold and silver highlight that big, fat 21st century trend in action. By the time (if ever) that Yuan deposits become widely available through retail banking in the US, Eurozone, UK or Japan, this morning’s $1319 price-tag on gold might look a great bargain.

Dollar Shocker! Not the Worst vs. Gold

Gold Bullion has risen faster against the Euro and Sterling than vs. the Dollar…

TO THE SURPRISE of many investors, the Yankee Dollar has earned only a third-place ribbon for its depreciation against gold over the past 12 months, writes Brad Zigler at Hard Assets Investor.

With all the recent hoopla and headlines about gold making new highs against the greenback, the destruction derby of the world’s reserve currencies is actually won by the Euro, with Sterling close behind, on an annual basis.

Over the past year, the US Dollar lost 29.8% vs. bullion compared with a 39.7% tumble for the European common currency and a 34.5% decline in the British Pound. Bringing up the rear is the Swiss Franc, with a 23.1% loss, and the Japanese Yen, which gave up 16.4% to gold.

Oddly enough, the US Dollar is also the least volatile reserve currency when it comes to Gold Bullion purchasing power, too.

The standard deviation of the Gold Price in Dollars stands at just 15.3% for the past year. This may not seem like a testament to the Fed’s steady hand on the nation’s economic tiller, but it’s something. It actually bespeaks the wait-and-see attitude of the central bank after last year’s stimulus and accommodation.

The likelihood of Fed intervention increases when commodity prices – a basic metric of inflation – rise or fall significantly compared with Treasury securities. In the chart below, the red Fed Indicator line dances within a neutral zone – a condition that compels the central bank to watch, but not act. A sustained move in the indicator above the upper band would signal an increased likelihood of accommodation – or lower money rates and a weaker Dollar.

A dip below the lower band flashes a higher probability of tightening, or higher rates and a stronger Dollar…

Keep in mind that this indicator is just that – an indicator. It measures the likelihood of Fed intervention, not its certainty. Political considerations – which can be substantial – are put aside here.

For now, the Fed’s keeping a fairly even keel – even though it’s been economically painful for employees or the unemployed. There’s nascent inflation, reflected in the blue line’s recent trajectory, which complicates the Fed’s handling of the Dollar. What’s economically expedient may not be politically fruitful.

On the other side of The Pond, Sterling’s been the most volatile currency, flopping about with a 17.8% standard deviation in the Gold Bullion market. Largely, this reflects the rising and falling fortunes of the former Labour government. And with all this, one can’t ignore the longer-term trends.

Since the Euro’s introduction in 1999, the Pound’s lost more ground to Gold Bullion than any other reserve currency. Sterling’s average annual loss in gold purchasing power has been 15.3%. The US Dollar follows with an average loss of 14.8% per year. Meantime, the Euro’s given up an average 13.1% each year.

Kinda makes you wonder who’ll take the pennant next year!

Arena Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ARNA) Jumps On FDA Response

Arena Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ARNA) shares climbed 18.50% to $1.73 on heavy volume after the company announced results for its ongoing results from a Phase 1 clinical trial of APD916, the histamine H3 receptor for the treatment of narcolepsy with cataplexy. The randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled trial evaluated the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of 1mg, 3mg and 5mg single doses of APD916. All adverse events in the trial were mild or moderate in nature. No serious adverse events were reported nor were there any significant safety issues with respect to vital signs, electrocardiography or laboratory testing. Earlier in the month of September shares of ARNA lunged about 50% in a single day when a Food and Drug Administration advisory committee rejected the company's most awaited drug, lorcaserin. Numbers of investors were disappointed after the results as most of them were expected a positive response about the drug. Several investors assumed Arena’s pill safer than rival drugs. They were surprised when the FDA staff and the agency’s outside advisers rejected in September. FDA reviewers said lorcaserin was only modestly effective in trimming pounds and had some safety issues. Shares of ARNA today made a new 52-week low of $1.45%.

5 Blue Chips Raising Dividends This Week

Now that earnings season is in full swing, many companies are  pairing third-quarter EPS and sales numbers with headlines about stock buybacks and dividend increases. A few big-name blue chips have increased their dividends this week, including a few high dividend yield companies in the utility and energy sectors. Some are dividend mainstays, like the REIT and timber powerhouse Rayonier (NYSE: RYN ). Others, like coal giant Peabody Energy (NYSE: BTU ), have meager yields but are paying back shareholders due to breakout profits. In both cases, the dividend increases are worth noting. Here's this week's list of big-name blue-chip stocks raising dividend yields: Rayonier Dividend Increase On Monday, timber giant Rayonier (NYSE: RYN ) said it would boost its regular quarterly cash dividend by 8%, to 54 cents from 48 cents previously. The Rayonier dividend is payable Dec. 31 to shareholders of record as of Dec. 10. The latest increase to the RYN dividend gives this wood and logging blue chip a yield of about 4.2% at current valuations. Rayonier has been paying dividends since 1939, and this recent boost is the company’s fifth dividend increase since its converting to a real estate investment trust or REIT structure in 2003. As a REIT, Rayonier now has to distribute 90% of its income to shareholders — meaning plump, regular payouts for RYN stock owners. What does logging have to do with real estate, you ask? Well, Rayonier owns, leases or manages 2.5 million acres of timber and land in the United States and New Zealand as well as approximately 200,000 acres with residential and commercial development potential. Shares of RYN stock are up 21% so far in 2010 thanks to strong pulp and wood production at Rayonier, and up against a 52-week high of $51.58. Peabody Dividend Increase Coal stock Peabody Energy (NYSE: BTU ) has been heating up lately, jumping 20% since Sept. 1. The buying pressure has come from hopes for increasing demand and the positioning of coal as cheap energy in emerging markets like China. Peabody stockholders another reason to smile this week. It will increase its quarterly dividend by an impressive 21%, to 8.5 cents per share from 7 cents a share. The news came alongside a strong earnings report;  Peabody’s profit doubled year-over-year in the third quarter. The new dividend yield for Peabody is still pretty meager at just 0.7%, but a nice perk for BTU owners. It's also worth noting that Peabody raised its dividend a year ago by 17%, so these aggressive increases may mean BTU is trying to position itself as a decent dividend stock over the coming years. The next Peabody dividend is payable on Nov. 26 to stockholders of record Nov. 4 Visa Dividend Increase Visa (NYSE: V ) announced a hefty 20% increase in its quarterly dividend, from 12.5 cents a share to 15 cents a share. Of course, the overall yield remains pretty meager at less than 0.8%, but Visa hasn't been around for very long (Visa’s initial public offering was in March 2008). The dividend is payable Dec. 7 to stockholders of record Nov. 19. Like Peabody, Visa may be trying to position itself as a dividend stock over the long term with big increases like this, though it likely wants to be cautious and avoid shareholder wrath by not slashing the payouts. Whatever the future holds for Visa, the present is iffy. The stock is down almost 10% year-to-date, though its most recent earnings report show payments are starting to turn around as consumers swipe credit and debit cards more often. Freeport McMoRan Dividend Increase With all the fuss about gold prices and gold miners, it's no surprise that metals giant Freeport McMoRan (NYSE: FCX ) has some cash to spread around via a dividend increase. After FCX reported blowout earnings of $2.49 per share — topping forecasts of $2.19 by 13% — it also hiked its quarterly payday significantly. However, investors should take note that Freeport's copper business had as much to do with those gains as fervor over gold. Here are the specifics: FCX boosted its quarterly dividend a whopping 66%, from 30 cents a share to 50 cents. The result is that Freeport McMoRan now yields about 2.2% at current valuations. The dividend is expected to be paid in February 2011. Freeport is on fire lately, up 56% since July 1, and could be a strong play for the recovery if copper prices continue to creep up and demand remains strong. American Electric Power Dividend Increase American Electric Power (NYSE: AEP ) was charged up this week thanks to a strong third-quarter earnings report. AEP Q3 profits increased by 25%, thanks to stronger industrial activity.  Shares are up almost 3% since late last week. In other good news for AEP investors, American Electric Power announced a 9.5% increase in its quarterly dividend, to 46 cents a share from 42 cents a share. That puts the new dividend yield of AEP stock at nearly 5%. Utility stocks are in favor among dividend investors right now because of high yield and regular payouts. AEP definitely fits that description, considering it has paid out stipends quarterly for over a century. Jeff Reeves is editor of InvestorPlace.com.
