Occidental Petroleum (NYSE:OXY) stock is down 16% in the past month and even over 75% in the year-to-date. OXY stock is wavering at 70% of its estimated $14.05 common stock tangible book value per share (TBVPS).

It’s likely that OXY stock will drift further down if oil does not rebound and if its TBVPS deteriorates. But in the near to long term, I believe that OXY stock will move higher as economic mobility increases.

In addition, as Covid-19 vaccines start to slow down the spread of the pandemic in 2021, the price of oil should rise. This will slowly push up OXY stock

Essentially, then, now is a good time to accumulate the

I Bought Fidus Investment: 12% Yield And 35% Below Book (NASDAQ:FDUS)

October 4, 2020

| business

Introduction

This article is part of a series discussing how to build a retirement portfolio using business development companies (“BDCs”) currently yielding over 12% and their safer notes – baby bonds/preferred shares with yield-to-maturities ranging from 6.5% to 10.0%. The previous article discussed Golub Capital (GBDC) which is a lower yielding BDC that typically implies a “safer” portfolio and/or sustainable dividend coverage.


BDC Buzz Starts a Position in FDUS

I recently started a position in Fidus Investment (FDUS) because I believe that there’s a good chance for a total return potential of 30% or higher over the next 12 months as discussed at the end of the article. My subscribers are well aware that I often wait for stocks to have a relative strength index of (“RSI”) of close to 30 before buying. This is the definition from Investopedia:

The relative strength index (RSI) is a momentum indicator developed by

U.S. stock indexes closed higher Wednesday, but booked their worst month since March, as hopes faded for another round of fiscal stimulus from Washington ahead of November’s election.

Market participants also were wary of a potentially contested November result following Tuesday’s rancorous first presidential debate.

COMP,
+0.74%

finished 0.7%, or 82.26 points higher, at 11,167.51.

For the month, the Dow closed 2.3% lower, the S&P 500 down 3.9% and the Nasdaq Composite ended off 5.2%, marking the first monthly decline for each benchmark since March which saw the low point of the sell off resulting from the coronavirus pandemic.

On a quarterly basis, the Dow advanced 7.6%, the S&P 500 rose 8.5% and the Nasdaq Composite

New Book Advocates Declaring Your Own Personal Championship Season

May 4, 2020
| No Comments
| personal

In Becoming Your Own Champion, Duane Martinz teaches readers how to achieve success by creating their own rules to play by. His energetic cry is to declare your own championship season and then do whatever works for you to become a champion.

Early in the book, Duane talks about how too many people sarcastically say when asked how they are, that they are “living the dream.” They act like life is a sentence they are serving rather than a gift they can enjoy, and they fail to seek out opportunities to improve their situations and live life on their own terms.

Duane knows the reason that holds most people back is a negative attitude and a failure to believe they can succeed. Rather than focusing on the bad things that happen and using those as our excuses for not moving forward, he suggests: “How about claiming that everything that happens … Read More

New Book Focuses on How to Handle Business Growth Beyond Sales

May 4, 2020
| No Comments
| business

In Sales Won’t Save Your Business, “Super” Joe Pardo answers the questions business owners have about how to create a viable and successful business beyond just selling. The book’s title is very apt because, as Joe points out, selling a lot of your product won’t help your business if you don’t have an effective team in place to handle customer service and you don’t have the right processes and procedures in place to prepare for the growth that results from sales. As a result, Joe takes the reader on a journey to the TOP by dividing the book into three parts that focus on Team, Offer, and Process.

Following a foreword by Lee Cockerell, Retired Executive Vice President of Walt Disney World® Resort, Super Joe jumps right into telling it like it is by asking readers to recall why they started a business in the first place, what is the … Read More

In Your Money and You: How to Increase Your Chances of Achieving Financial Security, Deborah Ellis, a longtime Certified Financial Planner (CFP), offers readers a plethora of information about stocks, bonds, saving, investing, allocating your investments, and even individual advice for people in different industries. While the book is full of information, it’s also written in a highly accessible manner. Ellis shares her personal stories of how she began saving money as a child and young woman, how her aunt taught her how to invest and buy stocks, and how things have changed in the decades since she began saving. Her personal experiences then branch into her professional experiences with clients and with years of investing in the market.

I know investing can be scary and confusing, but that’s usually due to a lack of information or the fear that we won’t understand the information. As Ellis shows us, investing … Read More
