Einstein Must Have Been A Terrible Investor
Albert Einstein was one of the most influential scientists of all time. His work led to the development of nuclear power, modern electronics, and space travel. Without his efforts, we probably wouldn’t have developed the atomic bomb ending World War II. We wouldn’t have radios or television. And, we may never have put men on […]
This One’s An Eye Popper!
I’ve always enjoyed a good movie. But over the years, Hollywood has lost its touch. For years, movies have been claiming to be “groundbreaking” and “revolutionary”. Sadly, most of them turn out to be rehashed Hollywood junk. But one movie has restored my faith in Hollywood. Yes, I’m talking about “Avatar”… If you haven’t seen […]
How To Win In Las Vegas!
Just this morning, a group of co-workers returned from a weekend trip to Las Vegas. From Phoenix, Vegas is a short 5 hour drive or 50 minute flight. It’s so easy to get to that heading out on a random Friday night isn’t strange. Given the state of the economy, once you get to Vegas, […]
When Do I Sell?
I get this question from subscribers all the time. It’s probably the question I receive most often. And, I understand why. Knowing when to sell an investment is one of the toughest skills an investor has to master. But, it’s a critical skill to have if you want to make money in the market over […]
Watch Out For Used Car Salesmen Masquerading As CEOs
“It sounds to me a little bit like selling a car with faulty brakes, and then buying an insurance policy on the buyer of those cars.” That’s how Phil Angelides, Chairman of the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission, characterized the behavior of Wall Street’s biggest banks. In case you missed it, the Commission held its first […]
Sometimes The Gods Smile On You…
I want to tell you something very personal… an admission of sorts. Last week was a big week for Hyperion Financial Group. We just launched our most recent product, Biotech Supertrader, and the response was amazing. We took a risk. Putting out a product focused on cutting edge technology is a risk. Biotechnology can be […]
Are These Dog Stocks For You?
Once a year I write about the “Dogs of the Dow” investment strategy. It’s a simple technique popularized a few years ago by book called Beating the Dow. It was originally published in 1991 and seems to have taken on a life of its own. The book describes a simple strategy. Just buy the ten […]
What To Expect In 2010…
Last weekend I was sitting on my couch, flipping through a magazine. I noticed an advertisement for a doctor’s office… for some reason it really caught my eye. The top of the ad is a Norman Rockwell picture drawn for the cover of the Saturday Evening Post. It’s called the “Tattoo Artist”. I laughed out […]
Should You Still Hold Pfizer?
A little over a year ago, I started buying shares of Pfizer (PFE). It was a scary time in the markets. We’d just entered a major economic downturn. The credit crisis was in full swing. And the major market indices were falling fast. Despite the bearish conditions, I found a company I believed had long […]
Did You Get Your Gift From The US Government?
I just finished up the last of my Christmas shopping. I even finished wrapping everything last night… talk about being ahead of the curve! I managed to grab great gifts for everyone on my list… and even managed to pick up a few things I wanted. Just promise you won’t tell anyone all right? Now, […]
