statistical analyst? (I don't call myself anything)

It's unfortunate that you bought these right before what may be a strong day, lol I like NFG - it has a long way to go, I'd consider scaling out/placing tighter stops around 28

Yes, but assuming it is 20 years until maturity, keep in mind this is about a 6.5% annual rate of return (assuming your figure of 3.5 is correct) After inflation, which we can under-estimate at 4%, you are left with 2.5%. I don't mean to be a downer but want to make sure you know what...

From what I've heard, most likely not. Now, I'm not sure if this is against the rules, and I apologize if it is, but I suggest the OP check out wallstreetoasis.com, there are many more who have taken/are taking the MBA/finance degree route and they may be able to offer you more relevant advice.

I think he means selling short

Well, it wasn't really a good call, the market as a whole went down, if that went down, say, 20%, then I'd take credit :) Regardless, you're right, this is not a time to go long unless everything is lining up (or want to DCA some investments which I'm looking into doing)

I've posted this link so many times I feel like I'm becoming a shill ... lol finviz.com (completely free site)

it seems like he's not exactly sure about the technicalities of bonds, and zero coupon bonds specifically

what are your cost bases and investment horizon?

Fair enough. And, haha, I thought it was you who was lumping all shares together. My apologies for taking you out of context.

To be honest, MandelBrotSet, I am surprised at your condescension towards Daniel33. Take a look at the PnL thread, and notice how a lot of the big winners trade shares. The only reason I am even responding to this comment is because, on other threads, you've seemed to be a pretty...

Don't zero coupon bonds have, zero coupons? As in, no interest? Also, since they have a par value of of 1,000, clearly they can't go up 20% per year. Also, you are benefiting, in my opinion, from the recent flight to quality that has driven yields down/prices up, not something that you can...

Why bother spending so much time criticizing SCT followers? If you do it to prevent newer members from wasting their time, in your opinion (coincidentally, mine as well), then that is mostly a moot point - it is abundantly obvious that many here don't follow this strategy and see it as a...

an interesting (depressive for investors) chart: http://stockcharts.com/def/servlet/SC.pnf?chart=anr,PLTADANCBO 104 seems to have been a very obvious top ... 3rd time around I imagine some of us would've gotten short? I think a good screen for the future may be stocks that have hit a...

because McCain went there to "shake things up"
