Stocks Better than Bonds When Inflation is a Big Threat

What we make of it is that dividends used to account for a much larger percentage of your total return in stocks than they have in the last twenty years. Times change.

Aren’t You the Least Bit Suspicious that Goldman is Talking Up the Banks?

Goldman Sachs has raised its rating on large banks to “attractive.” In related news, Neal Barofsky, the special inspector general for the Troubled Asset Relief Program has said that the Feds may have, er, not quite told the truth about the health of the banks receiving TARP funds.

Meredith Whitney and the Buy Recommendation on Goldman Sachs

Hold that thought. Her recommendation preceded Goldman’s actual announcement on Tuesday that second quarter net earnings were up 65% to $3.44 billion.
