The way the market has been going since late April it's almost a smart idea to short the S&P500 to make gains in the near term. Having said that I would structure a straddle to go along with it in case the market does recover, which it should sometime near August before the elections.
It is only 15% as long as you hold it long enough. The company is undervalued based on any conventional metric.
http://blogs.barrons.com/incomeinve...n-8-on-talk-of-dividend-cut/?mod=yahoobarrons The stock price dropped because of the dividend, but it appears the reporter or editor didn't know that, and she is writing for Barrons.
Son, please, I warn you not to throw your money into individual stocks with your level of knowledge. Just put it in an index fund if you insist on investing in equities.
Do you know what FTE is? It is one of the largest telecom companies in europe (orange). They are trading at a low valuation by any conventional metric. I figure they will trade at 14 or 15 bucks at some point this year. However I don't plan to hold the stock for the very long term. Dividends are taxed at 15% as long you hold it long enough, so I will get taxed at a lower rate on the dividends. There are risks with this company with the new french regime and their tax policies as well as US dividend taxes going up, and that is why I wouldn't want to hold it for the super long term. I know you don't care and are just trolling, but maybe someone will look at the stock.
Hey texxx what do you think about some of these high yielding independent oil and gas stocks? I know they are heterogenous group, but some have been worked over pretty good in this sell off. Are there any that you follow?

Buying some more FCX. Pretty cheap right now and pay good dividends. Anyone have other ideas for mid/large cap stocks that are currently undervalued?
DANG is not a large or mid cap company. It is a small cap. And I just go with this.....so why is DANG undervalued? If anything it looks overvalued. Even always bullish analysts are projecting massive losses for the next 2 years. How exactly are they going to stay solvent?
Yeah I was gonna post that deal they got http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-...er-tencent-partnership-report.html?cmpid=yhoo but either way they need a ton of help and can't exactly be considered a value.
