Time To Sell?
Does it feel like your entire investment portfolio’s been cut in half? I know a number of people who refuse to open their account statements. They just don’t want to see the wreckage. They don’t want to see how badly their portfolio’s been damaged. The running joke is that their 401K has become a 201K. […]
Video Game Sales Strong
The easiest money I ever made was a $100 bucks from a sweepstakes on a box of Cap’n Crunch cereal. I was only 10 years old. The check showed up decorated with a colorful picture of the Cap’n. It looked so hokey I had to convince my mom it was real. Eventually she gave in […]

His profits were enormous. It turns out his prophetic abilities weren’t tied to good analysis. They were […]
DOW Stocks With Strong Dividends A Great Buy
I was recently reviewing a few of my older articles. One from the end of 2007 stuck in my mind, Does this Investment Strategy Still Work? It was a review of a well known investment strategy – the “Dogs of the Dow.” You’ve no doubt heard of the strategy. Perhaps you implement part of it […]
Fear And Panic Usually Marks A Bottom
Just this morning I was driving into the office. The stop and go traffic was nothing short of normal. My to-go coffee mug was full and the sun was starting to break above the hills.
