The Study of Failure
“Earlier this month, the Republican presidential nominee said if he were president he would allow domestic steel producers bigger profits, afford them greater protection from foreign competition and stretch out their timetable for meeting federally mandated clean air and water standards. Carter is likely to offer much the same ("President Carter's plan to revive the nation's ailing steel..." UPI Archive: Financial, 29 Sept. 1980. Infotrac Newsstand.).”

Market Verdict on SHLD and JCP? Same Fate
On the day that Sears Holdings (SHLD) officially declared bankruptcy, Bill Friend, VP of Fluent Commerce, came out with a statement saying:
"Sears was raided by hedge fund guys, so they were never going to really recover…J.C. Penney is a different animal in that respect."
The clarity of this statement cannot be emphasized enough. However, the article that highlighted Friend’s comment from Real Money (TheStreet.com) was titled “J.C. Penney and Sears Aren't Cut From the Same Cloth.”
What is the best determination of whether JCP is cut from the same cloth as SHLD? We look at the comparison of the two stocks since the peak of the market in 2007 to the intraday price on October 16, 2018.
With a loss of –99.99% for SHLD and –97.73% for JCP, a reasonable person would get the impression that both SHLD and JCP are cut from the exact same cloth. At least that is what the market price has said so far.

U.S Dividend Watch List: October 12, 2018
What a week that was with both the Dow and S&P losing nearly -4%. From the peak of 2,940 on the S&P, the market fell -6% but that was less than the pullback we saw at the beginning of the year when S&P fell a little over -10% with similar duration.
While similar, there is one major difference between the two and that is interest rates. The 10-Year T-bill rate rose 18% since the end of January. Our followers will know that we will utilize Dow Theory as a gauge for market direction. Until a change of market direction is upon us, we will utilize the watch list below as a starting point to find investment opportunities. Continue reading
