Why I Hate Warren Buffett!
I spend a good portion of my day on the computer. I’m constantly researching investment techniques, studying trading ideas, and watching trends. My research is like wandering through the basement of the Smithsonian. When you open a drawer, you never know what you’ll find. Sometimes it’s nothing… sometimes it’s a pot of gold. I recently […]
Why You Should Ignore The Market In Late August
I’m sitting in a bar in New York. It’s the Bull & Bear at the Waldorf-Astoria. The place just smells of money, lots of money. I’m sipping a scotch while waiting for a client. Little did I know, tonight I’d be learning an investment secret… The place is immaculate. You can feel the history. The […]
Dow 10,000 Before Year End!
Lately I’ve been really positive about the markets. But a few nights ago, all of my thinking was thrown for a loop. I had dinner with my friend, Jay.

I feel like I’ve been swept up and blown all over the map. It all started on Friday. That was delivery day. We’d ordered […]
New Changes To The Dow, Should You Care?
Today, two icons of American business are being removed from the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Thanks for playing, General Motors (GM) and Citigroup (C). Hello, Travelers (TRV) and Cisco Systems (CSCO). Once upon a time, GM and Citi were titans of their industries. They’ve been reduced to wards of the state (or federal government). GM […]
Profit From The Collapsing Auto Industry
I’ve been following the economic gyrations of our auto industry with some interest. Fifty years ago, the US auto industry was the pinnacle of success. Now, the remnants of a once mighty industry are being torn apart… like vultures ripping up a dead animal carcass. So who wins in all this? Of course the lawyers […]
