Stocks With Good Dividends
This week the Federal Reserve made history. They lowered interest rates to levels never before seen. Right now the target Fed Funds Rate is a range of 0.0% to 0.25%. It was an amazing announcement. In addition to lowering the rates, the Fed also announced plans to actively buy agency debt and other mortgage backed […]
Infrastructure Stocks
I read the business news every day. I start with the Wall Street Journal. Once a week it’s Barrons. Mix in a few dozen magazines and periodicals on specific industries, and you’ll sample my weekly reading. Lately, I’ve noticed a shift. A while back everyone was writing about what to buy. The best strategies to […]
Invest Like The Pros?
How time flies. The holidays are quickly approaching. It means more time for shopping, eating, and friends… and less time in the office. Best of all, it means more time with my family. You probably already know I have a huge family. Holliday gatherings are always huge. It’s not uncommon to have 30 or 40 […]
This Company Performs Well During Recessions
It’s official. The National Bureau of Economic Research waved their magic wand and decreed the end of economic expansion. The official proclamation calls the recession start date as December 2007. I just don’t understand what took so long for them to figure it out? I mean really. Twelve months to decide we’re in a recession… […]

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 […]
A Trading Tip
November 14th is a national holiday. Only a few people are aware of this important holiday. A few months back I declared this day as the “James Bond Movie Release Holliday!” Silly I know.
