This Stock Could Double…
My Grandfather lost his battle with cancer years ago. I was still in Junior High School at the time. I still remember all the cool antique toys he collected. He had an entire corner of the living room dedicated to showing off his toys. They were all heavy metal toys, not the cheap plastic things […]
Would You Buy This Stock?
Back in late 2008, I was reading through the Wall Street Journal. I came across an interesting article about computer hackers and credit cards. It highlighted how hackers broke into a highly secure computer system. The computer system wasn’t some e-commerce website or government defense contractor. It was the system of one of the largest […]
Grab These Shares While They’re On Sale
Everywhere you look the financial news media is freaking out about the market. It seems like the pundits are in a competition to see who can paint the bleakest picture. They’re giving new meaning to the term “sensationalist journalism”. I guess that’s what attracts the most eyeballs these days. While I’m certainly concerned about the […]
A Few Ideas For Your Market Correction Buy List
This past weekend I took my 13 and 9 year old daughters to Washington D.C. It was their first visit to our nation’s capital. And I couldn’t wait to show them all the sights. We did it all. We had a private tour of the Capitol. We visited all the monuments on the Mall. And […]
I’d Love To Be Bullish, But Can’t…

Can You Keep Your Cool?
The past week has been a challenging one for traders and investors. The markets have been going up and down like a yo-yo on steroids. No doubt about it, it’s been a heckuva wild ride. The frantic behavior reminds me of the best piece of advice I ever got. It came from a good family […]
Stop This Madness!
A while back I wrote an article on the corporate greed and corruption on Wall Street. I also talked about the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933. Glass-Steagall was a great law providing for the separation of commercial and investment banking. In a nutshell, the act prevented commercial and retail banks from making bets in the securities […]
Did You Lose Your Shirt On This Trade?
The FDA sent a harsh reminder to investors the other day. The regulatory agency made it absolutely clear… just in case anyone had forgotten… There’s no such thing as a sure thing in the market. What am I talking about? I’m referring to the FDA’s shocking decision on InterMune’s (ITMN) lung drug, pirfenidone. Nearly everyone […]
Europe Will Save Goldman Sachs
Just last week I wrote about the financial industry. I noted they were being assaulted by (and rightfully so) government investigations, charges of securities law violations, and even regulatory overhaul. Despite these attacks, the industry was holding up. One of the big players, Goldman Sachs (GS), is under the microscope these days. The interrogation of […]
