One of those rare no BS wall street firms. immediately after the rate hike of the BOJ, he told to go long yen and warned about the unwinding of the carry trade. He likes stuff stocks (commodities/ hard assets), oils and Precious Metals. I would… More

technicals as of 6/5 look like it might be a buy, crossed over 50 day, stochastic looks like its not overbought,macd is trending up. but technicals end there, fundamentaly, analysts say its a moderate sell, sales qtr vs qtr are 3 times lower than industry, income 2x lower than industry, and they are in a lawsuit accused of misleading buyers of a company they own, until the suit is settled, and the industry standards come up i'd hold off

This company was individually screened to verify that during the boom years ('04-'08), their Balance Sheet expansion appeared excessive. The company operates within the FIRE (Financial Insurance Real Estate) sector of the economy which has been hot the past few decades, yet will run out of steam this coming decade. At some point or another, something's gotta give with this company. Income will start collapsing due to debt levels, and/or dividends will be slashed or removed, and/or significant losses will be realized. The chances of this being a growth company or having significant growth is heavily muted due to its dividend paying obligations at the current levels of today.
This company was personally found after using a screener.

initial google screen:
Market cap over 400M
Dividend yield over 1%
1 Year price change better than -35%
price to book 0.9 or higher
total debt/equity (recent qtr) greater than 50%
13 week price change greater than 17%

After individually screening for companies appearing overvalued due to Balance sheet expansion, it yielded the following stocks to short:
EVR NTRS PRSP JEF LAZ FIS RJF

For the heavy shorting within the FIRE sector as part of the above picks, I will offset them with the following longs relating to FIRE companies:
LONG on BX CVBF UTR

This will be the primary focus of this profile, to seek & obtain alpha from long/short dividend opportunities across various industries.

Financial - Held up better than some of thier peers, likely will not receive TARP funds. The street doesn't seem too concerned with the succession plan since the current CEO will remain on the board for a while.
