Trading Psychology: A Checklist Approach

By Kenneth Moore | Jan 26, 2012

The S&P 500 made significant gains in the first days of 2011, yet many market analysts and traders are bearish. The reasons vary and include worries about earnings or the economy but many feel that the market is headed for a fall. These bearish pronouncements seem to be business as usual. Last summer many of the same commentators expected a new bear market but stocks resumed their up trend after a brief decline. It can be difficult to maintain long positions in stocks when everyone seems to disagree with you, but the best traders ignore the headlines and follow their rules. Having a simple checklist to follow can improve your odds of sticking with a disciplined approach.

At any given time, a lot of the people calling for a top are probably seeking headlines rather than profits. There is no qualification test required to become a market commentator or a blogger, and anyone with an email address can use WordPress to offer market opinions.

Used Car Loan FAQ

By Kenneth Moore | Jan 18, 2012

Purchasing a used car with a loan is very similar to using a loan to purchase a new car. The main difference is that many used car dealers are able to provide financing for people who present a higher credit risk. If you have been thinking about a used car loan, the following FAQ may help you make a more informed decision.

Is it More Expensive to Finance through a Dealer?

Direct dealer financing usually carries a higher interest rate than financing through a lending institution. Borrowing from the dealership is not always the most stable way to finance a car, either. If the dealership should close or relocate while you are still paying off your loan, your loan may be transferred to a different lending institution with different regulations. It is also difficult to refinance a loan held through a dealership.

IS JOSB MONEY IN THE BANK? A RULER DOES THE 4Ms

By Kenneth Moore | Jan 10, 2012

The following JOSB 4M analysis comes to us from Michael McIlhinney.  My brief comments and analysis follow:

“Recently, Jeff H., a newbie to the Rule 1 blog, said that he was looking at Jos A. Bank (JOSB) as a possible Rule 1 business albeit one that is currently trading above its apparent Margin of Safety (MOS).  However, we shouldn’t just throw out JOSB because current price is above the calculated MOS.  This is when we should do our homework to see if JOSB is a great, growing company worth owning at a MOS price.  We know that, although the price will change daily, we need to focus on JOSB’s value.  If JOSB has great future value, then we need to be ready to buy it once it drops under the MOS price.  We do the work now, so that we can be ready to act if/when the price drops.  As I said in my Gildan post, JOSB is a company that I’ve followed for a while and really like, so let’s take a trip through the four M’s, and check out the sticker/MOS.

 

What is JOSB? 

 

Jos. A. Bank Clothiers,

Bank Rates Defined

By Admin | Dec 29, 2011

Bank rates work in three different ways. There are interbank rates which represent the cost of borrowing that banks pay each other or the government to borrow money for solvency. Then there is the savings rate a bank pays depositors for use of their money placed in savings in that particular bank. Finally, there is the interest rate charged on loans banks provide individuals and businesses to use the bank’s money, resulting in a profit from the money paid back.

Interbank rates are the least understood and the most critical for banks. Banks themselves do not keep every cent in their accounts. They try to lend as much as possible to make new money off of loans via interest. However, from time to time, banks need cash infusions to close deals, stay solvent, or meet liquidity requirements imposed by government regulations. Read more…
