K202 Weekly Review
Longtime friend Mark Bern (aka K202) many weeks posts at Global Economic Intersection a summary of his work over the previous week at Seeking Alpha, where he writes extensively on dividend stocks and the use of options in income investing.
The article covering last week's posts appeared today on the GEI Investing Blog.
Stocks mentioned in the latest summary are Teva, Apple, Walgreen, Conoco Phillips and Phillips 66.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

The5 Min. Forecast offered a provocative graphic Monday, 21 May 2012. The following suggests that there are good timing signals for both gold and the dollar based on swings in the 60-day volatility.

This deserves some closer examination. I will return with some analysis later.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.
