Yesterday, I went out on a limb saying I thought the Santa Claus Rally might commence. Yesterday was not any real kick-off rally, and this morning’s openers are not pointing to any significant lift either. Nothing more than 1 to 2 tenths as of 7:54 a.m. EST.
It may take hold today, or it may not. It’s okay.
I’ll try updating, and see if yesterday’s action was small enough to let any of my technical indicators fall into place, so as to perhaps give me more reason to believe. O, Santa, are you even going to come this year?!?!?
Here’s to your successful investing!

Well, MHG is a $5.8 billion company whose sales were off by 23% the past year at $3.4 billion. Div Yld is 4.95%, and has been slowly declining, probably due to currency conversion to USD. That Div is some 58% of the projected $1.10 a share EPS 12-onths out., but that EPS figure has been rising rapidly since April! In VV projected future earnings growth 1 to 3 years out is only 2%, but I can’t tell you if such a number is to be relied upon. By VectorVest metrics, MHG should be considered as an aggressive investment idea.
HSIC has never come up in my work, so I need to check it out as well. It is awesome by every measure I look at, but one. It pays NO dividend, which explains why I’ve never seen it before! If one is all about capital appreciation, it makes perfect sense as an investment on that score! Way to go in finding it!
