It's The Economy Stupid, Part II
Posted on December 11, 2003
There is enormous debate about the market and the economy. Corporate profits are climbing rapidly, gold continues making new highs, and the dollar continues falling. The talking heads on CNBC are now trumpeting the likely hood inflation will return. Weren't we hearing about deflation just a few months ago? I believe the only real risk for stocks right now is increasing interest rates, barring any major geopolitical catastrophic event. It's a simple concept most people fail to grasp- When interest rates are higher, earning are worth less in the eyes of the market. This simple fact explains why the morons who believe the market needs to drop to a PE of 8 before the Bull can come back are simply wrong. More »

Project Group Takes Off With SouthWest Airlines
Posted on December 03, 2003
Project Group, the subject of the November 22nd Trading Alert at $.17, did far better than I expected. It took off like a Southwest Jet on climb out. The stock opened in the $.19 range, giving members every opportunity to accumulate below the recommended $.20 level, and charged up to a high trade of $.31 over the next three trading days. That's a 50% return on your money short term. My target was $.25, so I missed on the low side. The stock is becoming a fairly prolific performer with consistent volume over 1 million shares daily. I think it's time to ratchet up expectations, particulary in light of today's announcement which came out after the close. More »

I am very thankful for the return of the bull market. If you think this was a relief rally in an ongoing bear market, you are simply wrong. Growth fuels bull markets, and growth is back in a big way.

Another words, enterprise software integrates all the individual software components of running a company into one massive, hopefully seamless system. More »
