I am a silver miner today
- Silver could be a safe haven in case of disasters.
- Silver besides being a precious metal, is very much needed by industry (so I read somewhere).
- Pan American Silver Corp. (PAAS) is World’s second Silver producer/miner, and I can’t figure out which is the first.
- 3% dividend yield is something I like very much, specially considiring that Payout ratio is an honest 30%
- Forward P/E ( Dec 31, 2014): 10.01 seems cheap enough to me, although current P/E = 30 is quite high. (more…)
Facebook is a good investment because Google Plus is a failure January 8, 2013

It’s like a rich kid in high school who discovered he wasn’t invited to a party, so he threw a better party and no one came.
Facebook’s edge over Google:
- data on which Google is built ( web sites all over the World) is available to Facebook and to anyone able to build a spider.
- data available to Facebook is locked.
Google’s edge over Facebook:
- much better technology
- much better mobile strategy
- much richer
- ads based on what you are searching for are much better than ads based on who you are. (more…)
Just bought 8 IBM because I didn’t have it November 5, 2012
Posted by deminvest in Blue Chips, IBM, investment.1 comment so far
I have never liked IBM as a company, this is very unfortunate because buying it 10 years late, I misses the chance to double or triple up my investment.
I hope it just late and not too late!

5 reasons why I just bought Sandisk (SNDK):1. SSD is the future, 2.good numbers, 3. new brand, 4. opposite making sense to Seagate ( September 28, 2012

What about SanDisk that produces those?
I started from a great stock I own: STX. Seagate is an amazing company.
- Its revenue was up 56.80% year on year.
- Its earnings growth was stellar 751.30%.
- It is dirt cheap: they sell for price five times its earnings (P/E=4.77).
- Expectations for next year are better still P/E= 4.74.
- Dividend yields 4.1%, up 30% from previous year.

transparent kayak
Two weeks after buying airplane tickets and hotel, I found those two websites that could have saved me more than $1000 on my reservation, by automatically comparing hundred of prices in seconds:
- http://www.trivago.com gets the best deal for my hotel reservation
- http://www.kayak.com gets the best deal for any flight
3 reasons not to use Stop Loss – answer to Jon Trausti’s question about Free Stock Strategy May 28, 2012
Posted by deminvest in investment, nasdaq, stocks.3 comments
Dear Jon, thanks for your very good question about Free Stock Strategy :
Dont you ever use “Sell Stop” for stocks you buy? … for example, many suggest you always use 5% “sell stop”.. or 10% .. and just buy some other stocks, if the ones you bought are not going in the direction (up) you hoped/wanted ?
It is for 3 reasons
Reason 1)
The only way to make money on the stock market is to buy low and sell high.
Most stocks move together up in good times and down in bad times. Automatic stop loss results in forcing to sell a bunch of stocks, even good ones, as the market sinks.
With my strategy, I have to buy every month, even when markets point down. In bad times I can hardly sell any stock because they can’t hit “up 40% target” in bad times.
As soon as market recovers most stocks that I buy in bad times hit my 40% up target and I make money.
What I accomplish that way is buying low and selling high. The best think is that I do it automatically, without having to understand or forecast what is going on in the Economy.
S&P 500 and NASDAQ 2002 to 2012
If we look at the last 10 years, we can see that if I had bought every month and if I had a stop, I’d have sold with a big losses every stock the next month in 2002, 2007 and 2008. (more…)
What are “top line” and “bottom line” for companies and stocks? April 27, 2012

What do bottom-line and top-line mean for stocks and companies?
The answer is simple: “TOP-LINE” means REVENUES and “BOTTOM-LINE” means EARNINGS: this graph below is a good and clear example:
Top line shows revenue and bottom line shows earningns for EBIX
The graph also helps me to understand why Revenue is called TOP LINE and Earnings BOTTOM LINE:
Since Earnings = Revenue – Expenses, then Earnings are smaller (less dollars) than Revenues. On a graph showing dollars over time, Revenues will always be the top line and Earnings the bottom line.

No more “market” or “stops” orders. NO MORE TRUST in markets after yet another flash crash that brought Apple shares down 9% for a few minutes March 27, 2012

How to avoid the ripoff?
Hard (bad) facts:
- On Friday, 23 Mar 2012 Apple shares lost 9% of their value in seconds, due to some market “error” called “Flash Crash”.
- the Flash Crash, also known as The Crash of 2:45, was a United States stock market crash on May 6, 2010 in which the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged about 1000 points—or about nine percent—only to recover those losses within minutes.
