<![CDATA[In my November 9, 2012 article on National Beverage (NASDAQ:FIZZ), I noted that the company has an outstanding record of creating value for long-term shareholders, and that it was highly likely that a special dividend would be declared before 2013.  

I wanted to provide a brief update, as the special dividend we anticipated was declared on November 23, (which for me, was a slightly early birthday present!), and the exact dividend amount of $2.55 was released November 29.

Let's check out the impact this announcement had on National Beverage's ($800 million in market cap) stock price:

<![CDATA[This analysis builds upon the studies presented in the article, "You Can Profit From Other Investors&#39; Mistakes: Price Action Research in the SPY" to demonstrate how simple information can be used to create powerful trading edges. If you have not read the referenced article yet (or need to refresh your memory), I suggest you read it before diving into this one.

In the article mentioned above, we noted that the expected return for the S&P 500 ETF (NYSEARCA:SPY) is higher after the market closes poorly (For example, if the market closes in the bottom 50% of the day&#39;s trading range). ]]>

At the end of the article, it was suggested that simply knowing the general "volatility breakout" approach is not enough to create a very profitable trading strategy.  In fact, in certain markets and under certain conditions, taking volatility breakouts can be a very counterproductive trading strategy.

<![CDATA[MINYANVILLE ORIGINAL In our last article on short-term stock index timing, my firm used just one day&#39;s worth of data to document that short-term market strength tends to be followed by below average returns, and short-term market weakness tends to be followed by above average returns. In other words, by acting in a way that is contrary to the average investor&#39;s impulse to chase market strength and sell market weakness, the disciplined trader can develop a trading edge.  The analysis in this article will help you to do this.
