Weekly Trading Analysis: Gregg Hymowitz

Sun, 29 Aug 2010 08:49:02 +0000

Here’s an interesting look at recent trading events and advice for those interested in the market.

As the author writes: “The truth is that companies that pay dividends actually believe in their earnings. If a company does not pay dividends, then they are usually uncertain about the volatility of their earnings or they believe that it is best to invest their cash in expansion plans or in buying back their own shares. Unfortunately, companies are usually horrible at timing share buybacks and can be terrible with acquisition plans (Time Warner/AOL?). This is not to say that the home runs do not exist, just that they are incredibly hard to find and growth projections are terribly difficult to estimate.”

Certainly, this advice and these graphs are interesting information for professional investors like Gregg Hymowitz of EnTrust Capital or for the individual who is looking to invest.

Filtering the Financial Noise

Tue, 03 Aug 2010 07:42:46 +0000

This blog post offers an interesting piece of advice for filtering the noise, as he puts it, in the stock market. Seasoned investors and financial experts like Gregg Hymowitz of EnTrust Capital are well aware of the many factors that influence their investing decisions. The rest of us may not be quite so astute in this area.

Here the author explains, “It is not hard to learn to recognize profitable setups. The biggest obstacle for the average investor/trader is the huge disparity between knowing and applying that knowledge in the heat of the moment. This concept is called an empathy gap – the difference between how we believe we will act in a future moment and how we actually act when the moment comes. We make our plans, we pledge to stick to them, but when the time comes we often forget about our intentions and we get lost in the craziness of market jungle. You can’t imagine how often I have caught myself thinking about pursuing a trade that doesn’t meet the requirements of the setups where I have an edge. Sometimes I manage to catch myself. Sometimes I don’t.”

Read on to find out more about silencing the noise and hearing what you need to for your investments.
