5 Stocks to Avoid Like the Plague
XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
tdp2664 InvestorPlace There’s no better time to take a good, hard look at your portfolio than the beginning of a new year. I know this might not be your first rodeo, and chances are you’ve already done at least a little thinking about how your investments came through 2011, and what you’d like to achieve in 2012. If not, there’s no time like the present. Especially when it comes to something I call “Ditching the Dogs,” which is a variant of the well-known and very popular “Dogs of the Dow.” You’ve probably already guessed from the name that I’m talking about unloading those investments that have underperformed, or that are likely to hold your portfolio back in the next 12 months. Obviously, this is a highly personal process and every investor is different, but here are five stocks I’d avoid like the plague right now (and the reasons why): Sears Holdings Long a bastion of American retailing success, I’ve been leery of Sears (NASDAQ: SHLD ) for a long time. In fact, I’ve steered clear of it since hedge fund investor Eddie Lampert used more than a little financial wizardry to create Sears Holdings. At the time, his goal was to tap into the vast real estate empire underlying Sears and subsequently Kmart when that company emerged from bankruptcy and he snapped up shares — the stock hit $190 a share in early 2007 on the assumption that it would. Now, though, it’s a very different story. With real estate in the toilet and the value of his “collateralized” debt circling the drain, he plans to fire employees, cut more than 120 stores and sell property. Same-store sales are down sharply as is profitability. Fitch Ratings has cut the company’s bond to junk status, and it’s likely to have hundreds of millions in writedowns ahead. I think the company is going to restructure, and net income is going to fall to the tune of billions when now-litigation conscious accountants have their day. Research in Motion Once the darling of connectivity and a status symbol for the cognoscenti, Research In Motion ‘s (NASDAQ: RIMM ) share of the smartphone market continues to evaporate like fog on a hot morning. I recommended shorting the company a few years back but was early to the party on several occasions — somehow the stock seemed to fight back. The stock is down over 88% from its peak of $144.56 in early 2008 and up a creek without a paddle …and you know which creek I am talking about. Dual Chairmen and CEOs Mike Lazardis and Jim Balsillie — who also are co-founders, by the way — couldn’t fix things, and with Apple ‘s (NASDAQ: AAPL ) iPhone and Google ‘s (NASDAQ: GOOG ) Android users on the rise, I don’t believe they will. Long-term government contracts prized for their encryption and steady cash flow are falling by the wayside. Small businesses are dropping the company like hotcakes because of the constant updating, technical complexity and brain damage — mine included. We switched to Droids more than a year ago and have never looked back. The technology has simply had its day, and this is yet one more innovator that’s about to head into the sunset. It’ll be lucky to find a buyer.

tdp2664 InvestorPlace The European debt crisis was the by far the biggest news story of 2011 , and now, as expected, S&P has downgraded France's debt rating from AAA to AA+ . Austria also got dropped to AA+, and Italy, Spain, Portugal and Cyprus were cut by two notches. Germany kept its AAA rating, along with Finland, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. If we start to see European nations default on their bonds, and if bond yields (i.e., the cost of borrowing more money to fund the massive EU debt loads) spike to unsustainable levels, we could see a major deleveraging by banks around the globe. The real harm here is that debt defaults could be the fissure in the dike that causes the entire global financial dam to break open. A freeze-up in European credit would cause a major contraction in economic activity in the region, and that contagion would quickly spread to the emerging markets, to Asia and eventually to the U.S. PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bullish If Europe crumbles, the euro will get pulverized relative to its rival currencies. That means a currency such as the U.S. dollar will attract a lot of investment capital. Indeed, a euro collapse means a flight to quality in what is still seen as one of the world's most stable currencies — the good old American buck. PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bullish

5 Stocks to Avoid Like the Plague
Theres no better time to take a good, hard look at your portfolio than the
beginning of a new year. I know this might not be your first rodeo, and chances
are youve already done at least a little thinking about how your investments
came through 2011, and what youd like to achieve in 2012. If not, theres no time
like the present. Especially when it comes to something I call Ditching the
Dogs, which is a variant of the well-known and very popular Dogs of the Dow.
Youve probably already guessed from the name that Im talking about unloading
those investments that have underperformed, or that are likely to hold your
portfolio back in the next 12 months. Obviously, this is a highly personal
process and every investor is different, but here are five stocks Id avoid like
the plague right now (and the reasons why): Sears Holdings Long a bastion of
American retailing success, Ive been leery of Sears (NASDAQ: SHLD ) for a long
time. In fact, Ive steered clear of it since hedge fund investor Eddie Lampert
used more than a little financial wizardry to create Sears Holdings. At the
time, his goal was to tap into the vast real estate empire underlying Sears and
subsequently Kmart when that company emerged from bankruptcy and he snapped up
shares the stock hit $190 a share in early 2007 on the assumption that it
would. Now, though, its a very different story. With real estate in the toilet
and the value of his collateralized debt circling the drain, he plans to fire
employees, cut more than 120 stores and sell property. Same-store sales are down
sharply as is profitability. Fitch Ratings has cut the companys bond to junk
status, and its likely to have hundreds of millions in writedowns ahead. I think
the company is going to restructure, and net income is going to fall to the tune
of billions when now-litigation conscious accountants have their day. Research
in Motion Once the darling of connectivity and a status symbol for the
cognoscenti, Research In Motion s (NASDAQ: RIMM ) share of the smartphone market
continues to evaporate like fog on a hot morning. I recommended shorting the
company a few years back but was early to the party on several occasions
somehow the stock seemed to fight back. The stock is down over 88% from its peak
of $144.56 in early 2008 and up a creek without a paddle and you know which
creek I am talking about. Dual Chairmen and CEOs Mike Lazardis and Jim Balsillie
who also are co-founders, by the way couldnt fix things, and with Apple s
(NASDAQ: AAPL ) iPhone and Google s (NASDAQ: GOOG ) Android users on the rise, I
dont believe they will. Long-term government contracts prized for their
encryption and steady cash flow are falling by the wayside. Small businesses are
dropping the company like hotcakes because of the constant updating, technical
complexity and brain damage mine included. We switched to Droids more than a
year ago and have never looked back. The technology has simply had its day, and
this is yet one more innovator thats about to head into the sunset. Itll be
lucky to find a buyer.

Kate Middleton Stock Index Outperforms the Dow Jones Industrial Average
XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
dow2664 Her Royal Highness Princess William, Duchess of Cambridge, Countess of Strathearn, Baroness Carrickfergus is the official name of Catherine ‘Kate’ Middleton, the wife of Prince William. Ever since their engagement was announced on November 16, 2010, news on the couple, and more specifically Kate, has been constant: what she’s wearing, where she’s going, what she’s doing. The marriage has been a boon to the press, especially the British publications, such as The Times and The Sun, published by News Corporation (NWS) (NWSA). It is not just the newspapers that are benefiting from all the publicity surrounding Kate. Look what has happened with the clothing retailers whenever Kate buys another dress. Web site hits have skyrocketed and inventory was cleaned out at many dress stores. As a matter of fact, when Kate wore a dress from Reiss to meet President and Mrs. Obama, the company website crashed due to the influx of orders. Reiss is a privately held company, but there are several publicly companies that have benefited from the ‘Kate Effect’. When Kate wore a beige trenchcoat from Burberry (BRBY.L) on her trip to Belfast in March, sales spiked and the trenchcoat sold out. Burberry, which also makes perfume and accessories in addition to clothing, has been around since 1856. The stock is part of the FTSE 100 Index. Kate has also worn lots of French Connection (FCCN.L) clothing, including tops and dresses. French Connection, also known as FCUK, was founded in 1972 and trades on the London Stock Exchange. Alexander McQueen dresses on Kate are a common site. The company is a luxury fashion house founded by designer Alexander McQueen, and is a Subsidiary of PPR (PP.PA), a French holding company that specializing in retail shops and luxury brands. The company was started in 1963 and the stock trades on Euronext Paris and is a part of the CAC 40 index. Even entrepreneurs are taking advantage of the Royal Wedding through eBay (EBAY). If you do a search on eBay for Kate Middleton, you will find a couple thousand items, everything from magazines to photographs to jewelry to dolls! eBay trades on NASDAQ and trades at 13 times forward earnings. Speaking of entrepreneurs, Kate’s parents started their own party supply company, called Party Pieces, back in 1987. Since the wedding news, company sales have grown enormously. Sorry, you can’t buy stock in it, it’s a private company. Show business is getting in on the act. Two movies have been made about the wedding. The first was a Lifetime movie called William & Kate . Lifetime is owned by A&E Television Networks, which is owned partially by Disney (DIS). Disney trades at 11.5 times forward earnings and yields 1.6%. The second movie was William & Catherine: A Royal Romance , which was distributed by the Hallmark Channel. Hallmark is owned by the California based media production company, Crown Media Holdings, Inc. (CRWN). [ Crown Media? That's an interesting coincidence.] Many celebrities have an effect on companies that they are connected with in some way, whether the celebrity is a supermodel, such as Gisele Bunchen , an actress like Angelina Jolie , or just a celebrity for unknown reasons, such as Paris Hilton . Examining all the companies that Kate is connected with, an analysis can be made showing how the Kate stocks compare to stock indexes. If you look at the chart below, you will see the one-year time frame from the date of her engagement announcement. The Kate Index is the blue line on top. As you can see, the Kate Middleton Stock Index has greatly outperformed the Dow Jones Industrial Average. During those twelve months, the Kate Index was up 18.1% versus the Dow, which was up only 10.9%.

dow2664 The primary indices in the U.S., as well as those in the eurozone, were pressured lower to end the last trading session of the week. The DJIA , as well as the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 finished the final session below break-even across the board. The CAC 40, FTSE 100, and the DAX in Germany all closed the last session red. Officially, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed the last session negative by 48.96 points and closed out at 12,422.06. The Nasdaq closed negative by 14.03 points and final close mark posted at 2,710.67. The S&P 500 fell negative on the day by .49 percent to close out at 1,289.09. Investors were on edge as they waited for the potential credit downgrades via Standard and Poor’s rating scale. The downgrades eventually materialized for nine eurozone nations and the indices dropped as a result. The negativity was observed earlier in the last session as indicators found final day marks in negative territory in the eurozone. Officially, the FTSE 100 in England finished the last session red by .46 percent closing at 5,636.64. The CAC 40 in France closed out lower by .11 percent at 3,196.49. The DAX in Germany closed out lower by .58 percent to close at 6,143.08. The credit downgrades across the eurozone nation came after a week when leaders were attempting to promote progress regarding the debt crisis resolution plan. The downgrades rattled the global marketplace and ultimately spilled over into the U.S. At one point in the last session, the DJIA was down over 100 points. It partially recovered as close approached, but individual components still struggled. Primary losers on the day for the Dow 30 were Bank of America Corp BAC, JPMorgan Chase and Co. JPM, and Intel Corp. INTC. BAC, JPM, INTC: Bank of America BAC finished the last session lower by 2.65 percent at 6.61. Previous close for BAC was 6.79. JPMorgan Chase and Co JPM finished the last session lower by 2.52 percent to close last trade at 35.92. Previous close for JPM was 36.85. Intel Corp finished the last session lower by 2.37 percent at 25.14. Previous close for Intel Corp. was 25.75. Frank Matto

Standard and Poor downgraded the credit rating of nine eurozone nations and this action closed out the week on a sour note. The euro lost value in the midst of the negativity and the dollar grew stronger. The reports of the European sovereign debt downgrades triggered a broad-based sell off in the global marketplace. Both gold and silver futures dropped off to close the week as a result.

Todays DJIA; Dow Jones Industrial Average Index DJX:DJI; Top Dow Losers BAC Bank of America, JPM JPMorgan Chase Market News Today
The primary indices in the U.S., as well as those in the eurozone, were
pressured lower to end the last trading session of the week. The DJIA , as well
as the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 finished the final session below break-even across
the board. The CAC 40, FTSE 100, and the DAX in Germany all closed the last
session red. Officially, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed the last
session negative by 48.96 points and closed out at 12,422.06. The Nasdaq closed
negative by 14.03 points and final close mark posted at 2,710.67. The S&P 500
fell negative on the day by .49 percent to close out at 1,289.09. Investors were
on edge as they waited for the potential credit downgrades via Standard and
Poors rating scale. The downgrades eventually materialized for nine eurozone
nations and the indices dropped as a result. The negativity was observed earlier
in the last session as indicators found final day marks in negative territory in
the eurozone. Officially, the FTSE 100 in England finished the last session red
by .46 percent closing at 5,636.64. The CAC 40 in France closed out lower by .11
percent at 3,196.49. The DAX in Germany closed out lower by .58 percent to close
at 6,143.08. The credit downgrades across the eurozone nation came after a week
when leaders were attempting to promote progress regarding the debt crisis
resolution plan. The downgrades rattled the global marketplace and ultimately
spilled over into the U.S. At one point in the last session, the DJIA was down
over 100 points. It partially recovered as close approached, but individual
components still struggled. Primary losers on the day for the Dow 30 were Bank
of America Corp BAC, JPMorgan Chase and Co. JPM, and Intel Corp. INTC. BAC, JPM,
INTC: Bank of America BAC finished the last session lower by 2.65 percent at
6.61. Previous close for BAC was 6.79. JPMorgan Chase and Co JPM finished the
last session lower by 2.52 percent to close last trade at 35.92. Previous close
for JPM was 36.85. Intel Corp finished the last session lower by 2.37 percent at
25.14. Previous close for Intel Corp. was 25.75. Frank Matto
