3 Overseas Choices for Yield-Starved Investors
The markets are tapping new highs and shell-shocked investors are doing two things:
1) Coming in off the sidelines; and,
2) looking for dividend stocks in a zero-rate environment.
Unfortunately, many U.S. choices are "bid" up right now. Having run 144% off the March 2009 lows, the easy money's been made. U.S. Treasuries offer 1.77% over 10 years and the average S&P 500 stock is generating a mere 2.01%.
So look overseas.

Hot Option Plays: Cyprus-ed Midday
Cusick’s Corner 3-18-2013 Midday The overnight action did not look good and the headlines out of Cyprus were fodder for media outlets. I find it hard to believe that this event is nothing more than that, an event. I also have not seen this type of news flash become a solid catalyst for a market [...]

Hot Option Plays: Contrarian’s Crockpot Midday
Cusick’s Corner 03-12-2013 Midday Is this a contrarian’s crockpot? (My wife cooks everything in a crockpot, seriously everything!) The bearish sentiment on the retail side is at a level right now that has not been seen in over 2 years – just take a look at the flow into bear funds. Now this is only [...]

Hot Option Plays: Crude And Copper Under Pressure Midday
Cusick’s Corner 02-06-2013 Midday Nice move yesterday but the follow-through has not transpired, especially in the Tech sector. The QQQs continue to lag the market and this does weigh on the market bulls. But looking at the oX put/call ratio of .44, it actually has been backing away from last month’s .30 levels, so there [...]

Stocks to Buy in 2013: Don't Miss the New Developed Market Leaders
When looking for stocks to buy in 2013, many investors turn to the markets that outperformed the Standard & Poor's 500 Index in 2012.
For example, they might like Germany. The MSCI iShares Germany Index Fund (NYSE: EWG) soared more than 32% in 2012.
That's far better than the 15% gain from the S&P 500. It's also much stronger than the 15% gain from the iShares MSCI EAFE Index Fund (NYSE: EFA), which tracks developed-market equities in Europe, Australia, Asia and the Far East.
But amid slowing growth and frothy equity valuations, German stocks appear unlikely to continue such performance in 2013.
That's why investors should check out these other developed market players ready to soar in 2013. They're all expected to deliver gains that could rival Germany's explosive 2012 profits.

Hot Option Plays: Let’s Look At Global Midday
Cusick’s Corner 12-17-2012 Midday This is the part of the year where you might typically see last minute shifts to clean up any lose ends, preparing for a new year. But this is anything but normal with the action being mostly range-bound and we are not having the discussions of taking on or off “risk” [...]

Hot Option Plays: Stock Market Averages Attempting To Rebound Midday
Cusick’s Corner 11-09-2012 The market pulled back in the pre-market, then opened weak and now back in the positive in spite of France’s news and the continued uncertainty of the Fiscal Cliff. Buying was hard to do but the bid did strengthen into the midday and the headlines crossing at this hour are continuing to [...]

Hot Option Plays: Bonds Breaking Midday

Hot Option Plays: Bears Biting Back Midday
Cusick’s Corner 09-26-2012 Midday The sellers took control early and have stayed in control with only a little bounce into the Midday. Volatility popped early, VIX +~5%, hitting resistance at the $16.50 level which has put the onus on the bid to come in and support this market into the After Hours. What is not [...]

Hot Option Plays: Pre-Fed Chop Continues
Cusick’s Corner 07-31-2012 I continue to not chase the market in either direction — the market is just too choppy and uncertain right now. The only market that has reacted as I thought it might was Crude, USO -2.30% — the pricing looked out of whack, running up too far, too fast. From my perspective, [...]

Hot Option Plays: Selling Is Modest Into The Midday
Cusick’s Corner 07-31-2012 The market action into the Midday is mixed. The pressure is mounting for more details from the Fed. Support levels are currently being challenged, 1375 on the S&Ps, and if you look at the advance/decline, the action has been hitting on the decliners side. This selling is modest at this stage but [...]

Hot Option Plays: Market Needs A Catalyst
Cusick’s Corner 07-30-2012 As I wrote earlier today, there’s uncertainty and it looks like there is no real conviction in the marketplace until it is made clear what the world central bankers will do. The Small Caps, IWM, and Financials, XLF, continue to lag and I want leadership in these segments for bulls to get [...]

Hot Option Plays: Market Could Not Hold Support
Cusick’s Corner 05-01-2012 The close did breach support, 1405 on the S&Ps, and Small Caps (IWM) (the canary in the coalmine), were testing lows into the close. This probably does not give short-term longs relief into the overnight trade. So after today’s close, the longs are staying on their toes, but one positive note is [...]
