Zero Sum Game


Most people think the stock market is a zero sum game because there is a buyer for each seller and seller for each buyer so each cancels the other and everything is equal. Not quite.

You Wont Like This


Why? Because I am going to shatter your conventional wisdom as I have many times in previous columns about the lies that Wall Street continues to tell you. This time we are going to go deeper into the economy to unearth the truth about lies the politicians are telling you.

Why Buy and Hold?


Since I can remember, and that?s a long time ago, the Wall Street brokerage companies, mavens and mutual fund managers have been exhorting the mantra of Buy and Hold for all your investments. There have been erudite studies published that this is the only way to go.

Whitewater Stock Market


Ever done any whitewater rafting or canoeing? Long periods of tranquil river followed by short periods of terror. Suddenly the water grips your vessel and you are pushed and shoved by massive currents over which you have no control. Missing boulders you paddle as hard as you can. You almost lose everything and think to yourself, ?Why didn?t I portage that last rapid??

When Should I Sell?


People are always asking me when should I sell my stock or mutual funds?

Trading For A Living


How many times have you said to yourself, ?I?d like to quit this job and just make a living trading in the stock market?? Well, maybe you can, BUT...

The 1% Solution


You probably know the story of Sherlock Holmes and the 7% solution. He had a drug addiction. He needed the drug. He was able to control his addiction by taking the drug in a 7% concentration. Anyone with common sense knows you cannot survive on 7%. It is a slow death.

Pension Plans


If you have a pension plan at work you will want to read this and if you don?t you will still want to because it affects your retirement account.

Whos Calling?


Its dinnertime and the phone rings. It's Joe Noname with SuchNSuch Investment Company and has he got a deal for you.

When?


When will the stock market stop going down and start up again? If we knew that we?d all be jillionaires. So what do you do now while stocks are going down and stealing away your money every day?

Wall Street Paradigm


In 1960 an engineer working for a watch company in Switzerland discovered that a small crystal would vibrate at a constant rate. He found this was so accurate that it could be used to calibrate time so he took it to company management and said it would make an entirely new kind of watch that had no springs and no gears. They could not imagine who would want such a thing. Swiss watches dominated world commerce. They did not even bother to patent it.

Time Out


Are you paying any attention to your retirement savings? Do you have it in cash or an account with a broker? Maybe you have a professional manager who is investing your money as you add to it every month.

The 10 Commandments


Wall Street has been preaching for years and years to investors how and where to put their money. The ?experts? have put forth these ideas for so long that they seem to be carved in stone just like Moses did with God?s 10 Commandments. The only difference is that what Wall Street preaches is lies that will make you broke.

Your Job


There are so many kinds of work that needs to be done and you are doing one of those jobs right now ? unless you are one of those two and a half million that have been laid off during the past 3 years. The press continues to blame China and India for stealing away all these forms of employment, but they don?t have it right.
