I spoke to a friend of mine the other day who works for a health care venture capital firm, and I thought I?d pass through a few tidbits. Gilead Sciences (GILD) is basking in the glow of the most profitable drug launch in history. Its blockbuster Sofobuvir treatment for hepatitis C, launched in 2013, inhibits

5%. A lousy 5%. That?s all we managed to clock in the latest correction in the greatest bull market of all time. It?s not the 6% hickey we had to endure in February, nor as modest as the 4% setback in August. Call it a middling type correction, a kind of correction light. The buyers

It looks we are going to have to start watching the appalling Zombie shows on TV and in the movies. That is so we can gain tips on how to survive the coming Apocalypse that will unfold when the Ebola virus escapes Texas and spreads nationally. I?m not worried. I?m actually pretty good with a

A number of analysts, and even some of those in the real estate industry, thought that there would never be a recovery in residential real estate. Long time readers of this letter know too well that I went hugely negative on the sector in late 2005, when I unloaded all of my holdings. However, I

I don?t double up short positions very often. I am too old to lose all my money and go back to work as an entry-level analyst at Morgan Stanley. Besides, they probably wouldn?t have me back anyway. It is a different company than it was 30 years ago, a lot different. However, the dead cat,

Watching the market melt down today, I have been hurriedly compiling a shopping list of stocks to buy, and writing the Trade Alerts in advance for readers to execute. If I am right about interest rates remaining flat or rising for the rest of the year, then financials have to be at the absolute top
