Jeff Miller submits: "What's the news?" is the first question when we see a big move in a stock or sector. There is always some reason, valid or not. Knowing the news explanation is an important step for those who trade on fundamentals. After months on the national stage, the debate over health care reform has reached the final act. In the next few weeks we will know whether national policy...

Jeff Miller submits: I have noticed a profitable pattern. I am going to cast this from the bearish perspective, but in theory it could work either way. I have a few other historical examples, but let us focus on the present. Background Complete Story »

The Great Shake Shack Controversy hits the New York Times – and Hub Blog is prominently featured. I await the flood of new readers and private-equity offers to buy my blog, though I hope the due-diligence types don’t notice that I never wrote the quoted remarks attributed to me. … BTW: Hub Blog wants the record to show I hereby officially oppose Jeff Miller’s Boston-themed...

from Grub Street Boston Bostonians are divided on their response to the news that an outpost of New York's Shake Shack could open here. Some Hub residents are excited, as the comments on our original news indicate. "Shake Shack would be fantastic, would instantly become one of the best inexpensive burgers in Boston. Frankly, any outpost of Union Square Hospitality Group would be a wonderful addition...

D.J. Fernando and Jeff Miller gave it their best shot at the Dove Canyon CC on Monday and Tuesday in the SCGA 4-Ball Championship, but without their "A" games the tandem found themselves well back after the 36-hole tally. Fernando and Miller, who had qualified for the championship at Rustic Canyon in Moorpark on Oct. 22, could only muster an opening round 1-over 71 that left them in 32nd...

Jeff Miller submits: President Obama's China visit will be a news focus for the next few days. Investors will follow developments closely for hints about trade, the dollar, implications for the U.S. economy, as well as several important challenges to international cooperation. Because China is the biggest lender to the US, the relationship is changing. This occasion is also a good time to consider...

Jeff Miller submits: Anyone who is following the market on a daily basis is paying attention to the strength of the dollar versus other currencies. It can be confusing. While a strong dollar might seem like a good thing, there is actually an inverse market relationship with stocks -- at least in recent times. I described the basics of the dollar debate here: Understanding the Debate on the Dollar...

Not to sound too provincial, but do we really want a N.Y. chain-wannabe on Boston Common? I tilt toward Jeff Miller’s plan, if only because it at least strives for a local flavor. But you just know the same types who think “SoWa” is such a cool name will go with the “beloved” Shake Shack – and then they’ll lecture us about having an inferiority complex while...

“ This is all very cute. I would ask you to name one conservative leader from the last 35 years that hasn’t been labeled by the left as an idiot, but you can’t. It’s a tired exercise. Of the presidents and VPs, all of them… Ford, Reagan, Bush I, Quayle, Bush II have been portrayed as supposedly being stupid. The left has a very small toolbox. If you disagree with them,...

The Call 'Em Out series continues this week -- and this time we’re calling out the House GOP . All but one Republican member of the House voted against health insurance reform last Saturday. During the 12-hours preceding the vote, GOP members stood at the podium spouting lie after lie in a last ditch effort to kill reform.

Jeff Miller submits: A strong dollar seems patriotic. It is also meaningful to long-term purchasing power. A weaker dollar means a higher cost for foreign products, and that is inflationary for the US consumer. This natural impulse is at odds with current equity trading. A friend asked why the market had a 200+ rally in the DJIA on Monday. My answer -- dollar weakness-- was counter-intuitive and unsatisfying,...

Look who loves the Yankees !!! (well..sort of...maybe not...OTR's Jeff Miller lost the Yankees/Phillies World Series bet with OTR's Sam DelPriore (right)...and so now must wear a PINK Yankee's Derek Jeter jersey all day today at work. On the left is OTR's Bryan Robinson who obviously enjoys Jeff's humiliation.

Jeff Miller submits: Let us consider this interesting question: What distinguishes the "smart money" from the average investor? My nomination is a better understanding of risk. The individual investor is always looking backwards and focuses excessively on returns. The pros try to measure risk in many ways -- valuation, economics, or even finding the next black swan. They also implement risk...
