Is Spain a buy? In a word, “Sí.” But perhaps a better reply would be “Depende.” After the recent volatility stemming from the Cyprus bailout, Spanish stocks are more attractive than at any other time in 2013. But you shouldn’t buy just anything trading in Madrid. A little selectiveness is warranted. To start, if a [...]
One of my favorite scenes in the classic James Bond spoof Austin Powers is when Powers sits down at the blackjack table occupied by Dr. Evil’s Number 2. (see “Bond Investing. JAMES Bond Investing.”) Number 2’s cards give him 17…and because he “likes to live dangerously” he says “hit me.” (Number 2 has x-ray vision [...]

When I tell readers that Spanish stocks are still cheap, I can’t help but recall Chevy Chase’s 1970s Saturday Night Live skit in which for weeks after his death, Chase announced “breaking news” that “Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.” Spanish stocks are still cheap, as they have been for over a year, but they [...]

The most annoying thing about old Wall Street adages like “Sell in May, go away” is that once in a while, they are actually true. Sure, most of the time it makes sense to be invested during the summer months. If history is any guide, they are more likely to be positive than negative. But [...]

For a year that started with one of the best first quarters in history, the second quarter has proven to be something of a disappointment. On the first trading day of June, the U.S. averages had their worst performance of 2012, pushing the Dow Industrials into negative territory for the year. The S&P 500 is [...]
