Confident Investor Rating Poor

The following company description is from Google Finance: http://www.google.com/finance?q=bte

Baytex Energy Corp. is a Canada-based holding company. Through its subsidiaries, the Company is engaged in the business of acquiring, developing, exploiting and holding interests in petroleum and natural gas properties and related assets in Canada (primarily in the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan) and in the United States (primarily in the states of North Dakota and Wyoming). The Company’s crude oil and natural gas operations are organized into three business units: Saskatchewan, Alberta/B.C. and the United States. The Saskatchewan Business Unit’s heavy oil operations include primary and thermal production. The Alberta/B.C. Business Unit produces light and heavy gravity crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids from various fields in northern, southeast and central Alberta and northeast British Columbia. The United States Business Unit focused its activities on the light oil resource play located in Divide and Williams Counties of North Dakota.
Confident Investor comments: At this price and at this time, I do not think that a Confident Investor can confidently invest in Baytex Energy Corp (USA). It is not possible to confidently invest in a company that is not currently profitable. I am removing the company from my Watch List.
If you would like to understand how to evaluate companies like I do on this site, please read my book, The Confident Investor.

I usually put this post out on Monday but with the Labor Day shut down, I waited until today. The market was generally good last week and should be good this week as well. More concern is on geo-political events that could cause a pullback. There is a very good chance that the week will be flat so individual stock choices will be important. I may make some acquisitions this week so make sure you are following me on Twitter @ConfidentInvest.

The market was generally good last week and should be good this week as well. Retail oriented stocks tended to have good announcements which may signal a positive couple weeks for any stock that is driven by consumer spending. More concern is on geo-political events that could cause a pullback. There is a very good chance that the week will be flat so individual stock choices will be important.

Investment Indicator Thoughts

S&P 500
The general S&P 500 (ticker is ^GSPC and the first line of my investment indicator articles). It was a tough week last week with this index seeing an early rise primarily due to good news of certain retail stocks and then falling at the end of the week but still ending the week slightly ahead. This was caused by geo-political events along with some less than excellent results for Q2. I think this week will also continue to have challenges with last week ending with negative MACD and Fast EMA underwater, so investors should be cautious.

NASDAQ Composite
The NASDAQ Composite (the ticker is ^IXIC and the second line of my investment indicator articles). It was a tough week last week with this index seeing an early rise primarily due to good news of certain retail stocks and then falling at the end of the week but still ending the week slightly ahead. This was caused by geo-political events along with some less than excellent results for Q2.

The market was generally good last week and should be good this week as well. More concern for geo-political events that could cause a pullback. There is a very good chance that the week will be flat so individual stock choices will be important. Look for a spike or drop on individual stocks this week and the next couple as quarterly earnings are released.

Investment Indicator Thoughts

S&P 500
The general S&P 500 (ticker is ^GSPC and the first line of my investment indicator articles). Last week was a good growth week even though it was interrupted by Independence Day holiday. This week is the beginning of Q2 earnings announcements. It is possible that any stock could see significant movement in pricing due to unexpectedly good or bad news. Vigilence is warranted during this time.

The market was generally good last week and should be good this week as well. More concern is on geo-political events that could cause a pullback. There is a very good chance that the week will be flat so individual stock choices will be important.

Investment Indicator Thoughts

S&P 500
The general S&P 500 (ticker is ^GSPC and the first line of my investment indicator articles). While there is some weakness in the MACD, this indicator continued to climb last week. I would expect a continued overal increase or potentially flat movement this week.

NASDAQ Composite
