Practicing Patience Pays

December 19, 2011

It’s hard to remember now, but there was a time when a rainy day presented an actual challenge to parents. The assumption was that on sunny days, children would be outside, playing in a kind of Norman Rockwell wonderland, no matter what the season. But when the sun disappeared and the rain fell, kids were cooped up indoors, bored, grouchy and itching to let off steam in the kind of activity that often resulted in raised voices, frayed nerves and broken lamps. There were even activity books, called “rainy day books” that prudent parents kept in reserve against their...

My example is SinoHub (SIHI), a Chinese supply chain manager and order fulfillment service for cell-phone components that has suffered through a precipitous drop since it came public in August 2009.

Stock Market Video: Tightening Range

In this week’s Stock Market Video Review, Cabot China & Emerging Markets Report Editor Paul Goodwin sees the market’s range of motion tightening up–with swings much narrower than they had been. This is a good sign, says Paul, as continuing tightening could lead to a new rally. But right now, there’s still lots of resistance, so Paul’s advice is to remain heavily in cash until the market direction becomes clearer. He names four stocks that he’s keeping a close eye on: Sohu.com (SOHU), Colfax Corp. (CFX), FMC Technologies and Fortinet (FTNT). Click below to watch the video!
