Is Your Portfolio Good Enough?

| July 30, 2010 | 0 Comments

I’d be willing to bet your portfolio isn’t performing like you hoped.  I’m saying this with confidence even though I’ve never seen any of your investments first hand. Why am I so sure? It’s your financial advisors… They aren’t passing around the best advice. In fact, they’re probably giving you the same worn out advice […]

Protect Your Future With Hedging

“The aim of the wise is not to secure pleasure but to avoid pain.”  When Aristotle uttered those words over 2000 years ago, he wasn’t talking about investing.  More likely he was referring to politics or ethics or something more esoteric than the stock market.  But I think his words make for excellent investment advice.

| January 22, 2010 | 0 Comments

It’s no secret small cap stocks tend to outperform large caps in the early stages of an economic recovery.  Companies with market caps under $1.2 billion give investors huge potential for growth.

I’m sick and tired of all bad press about leveraged ETFs.  I’ll admit it.  I’m mad. It all came to a head last weekend when I met a friend for drinks.  After discussing baseball and the upcoming football season (it can’t get here fast enough), our conversation eventually turned to the markets (as it often […]

It finally happened this week.  It happens every year… you can’t quite set your watch to it, but it’s a constant here in the desert.  What am I talking about?  Triple digit temperatures of course. Yesterday it was 105 degrees here in Phoenix. If you’ve never been in the desert, remember, it’s a dry heat. […]

ETF – Using ETFs To Profit From Obama’s Plans

| May 6, 2009 | 0 Comments

The marching order of the Obama administration is “Holding true to America’s ideals”.  Over the last 100 days, they’ve tried to do that… and more.  I’ll tell you this much, the last 100 days have been anything but uneventful.

What Warren Buffett Is Telling Us To Do Now

| March 11, 2009 | 0 Comments

Growing up in Nebraska, I’ve witnessed Warren Buffett’s impact firsthand. The oracle is revered in the state for the amount of money he’s made for investors.  However, why he hasn’t blessed our beloved Husker football program with an endowment (ala T. Boone Pickens and Oklahoma State University) is still a mystery.  But I digress. I […]

I was at lunch the other day with a friend of mine.  Bob and I have known each other for about 12 years now.  We recently reconnected and met-up over lunch.  It was perfect for me… he paid.  (Those of you who know me know how frugal I am!)  Anyway, we were talking about his […]
