  By Jacob Wolinsky - May 31, 2013 | Tickers: CTB, GT, TWI

  Declining rubber prices this year have helped consumers of the commodity in a big way. Tire producers such as Cooper Tire & Rubber (NYSE: CTB), The Goodyear Tire & Rubber (NASDAQ: GT), and Titan International (NYSE: TWI) have benefited from the trend so far, but it remains to be seen if the rally can be sustained.

• Tuesday's Post-Earning Movers: Are These Worth Buying?

  By Brian Nichols - February 28, 2013 | Tickers: CBRL, M, TWI, TSL

  Earnings and earning-related news is the number one catalyst for stock movement. A strong quarter can dictate the direction of a stock for the following three months as can a bad quarter; in the past I have written in detail about such subjects, a domino effect following a strong or bad quarter. In this piece I am looking at the early performance of Tuesday’s top movers following earnings. Then more »

• 4 Winners as Brazil Prepares to Take Center Stage

  By Howard Rothman - February 22, 2013 | Tickers: CAT, DE, FMC, TWI

  Brazil is considered one of the world’s most important emerging nations, and it’s closer to the U.S. in many ways than any other. Still, North American investors rarely focus on the country and its role in global corporate performance.

• Stop Making Investing So Hard

  By Adem Tahiri - November 27, 2012 | Tickers: DE, LQDT, ORLY, ORCL, TWI

  Jason Zwieg’s book “Your Money and Your Brain” shows that our brains get more of a kick from “finding the next big winner” then from actually collecting money from a proven winner.

  That "big winner" syndrome, so to speak, resonated with me. I couldn’t help but remember all the stocks that I had bought after searching and scouring as if I was a treasure hunter only to see more »

• Deleveraging and its Implications

  By Justin Carley - January 10, 2012 | Tickers: BAC, HIG, LEA, TWI

  I have recently been seeing articles on how the deleveraging cycle in the United States is nearing an end.  I think the concept can have significant ramifications on the performance of risk assets and is a key factor in predicting cyclical peaks and troughs in various asset classes.  Generally, deleveraging would have negative economic implications and will stifle inflation regardless of monetary policy actions.  This is exactly what we have more »
