The accompanying chart presents an 8-week analysis of global coal futures prices as a follow-up to my previous 5-month analysis last month, Market Vectors Coal ETF (KOL), PowerShares Global Coal ETF (PKOL), S&P 500 ETF (SPY), U.S. Natural Gas (UNG) + Oil (USO) Funds, and the Energy Sector ETF (XLE). The global price of coal is tracked by the near-month coal futures contracts from the U.S. (QL – Central Appalachian NYMEX Coal Futures), South Africa (AFR – Richards Bay ICE Coal Futures), and Eur
The accompanying table presents a 20-stock defensive growth portfolio which I believe will outperform the overall market as measured by the S&P 500 Index as the current panic trade comes to an end and investors stop selling stocks regardless of their fundamentals. The average PEG ratio for this group of stocks is below one and the average dividend yield of 4.4% is nearly two times the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) yield of 2.4%. All of the stocks have a market cap over $1B with an average of just under $75B and the indust
Oil will keep on boiling and I would rather give credence to the words of Arjun Murti who has been sending shock waves through the oil industry for the last three years with his oil spike theories and predictions.

Those of you who are long in an IRA or just long in general consider buying some put options, to protect your stock in this downturn over the next few weeks. Oil may drop over the next few weeks as well. Good luck with the trade. It should do well.
THe breakout of 8000 has failed and the DJIA has printed 4 consecutive up closes. We should expect a longer rebound toward the 9500 level. Pullbacks and dips if prices remain above supports should be used to accumulate positions. I am far from saying that the worst is over, but I would expect some relief to the upside at this stage. Some stocks have manged to print their 20 day highs. They are 3M Company (MMM), Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (WMT), Exxon Mobil Corporation (XOM), Chevron Corp. (CVX). THere are others which are very close to their 20-day highs, such as McDonald's Corporation (MCD)...
