Predictions – A Fool’s Errand
The reality is nobody has been able to consistently predict the future. Due to the law of large numbers, a few of these extreme outlier forecasters eventually strike gold…until their next forecasts fail miserably. Here are a few examples.
Ignoring Economics And Vital Signs
As stock prices sit near all-time record highs, and as we enter year nine of the current bull market, I remain amazed and amused at the brazen disregard for important basic economic concepts like supply & demand, interest rates, and rising profits.
The Fallacy Behind Populism And Automation Fears
The rise of global populism and anti-immigration sentiments, coupled with the perpetual rising trend of automation and robotics has stoked the fear fires of job security. Many stories perpetuate erroneous stereotypes and falsehoods.
Glass Half Full Or Half Empty?
We live in a time of confusing dichotomies, which makes deciphering the flood of daily data challenging. Determining whether they call for optimism or pessimism can be daunting.
Managing The Chaos – Investing Vs. Gambling
How does one invest amid the slew of teeth grinding headlines of Syria, North Korea, Brexit, expanding populism, Trumpcare, French candidate Marine Le Pen and a potential government shutdown? Facing a persistent mountain of worry can seem daunting.
Investing In A World Of Black Swans
Wall Street has an innate desire to try to turn the ultra-complex field of finance into a science, just as they do in the field of physics.
You Can’t Kiss All The Beauties
When I was in high school and college, kissing all the pretty girls was not a realistic goal. The same principle applies to stock picking – you can’t buy all the outperforming stocks.
Double Dip Expansion?
Since the 2008-2009 financial crisis, whenever markets correct by -5%, -10%, or -15%, pundits and the media sound “Double Dip Recession” alarm bells. We have yet to experience a technical recession (two reported quarters of negative GDP growth).
Munger: Buffett’s Wingman & The Art Of Stock Picking
Charlie Munger is one of the most successful and famous wingmen of all-time – evidenced by Berkshire Hathaway Corporation’s outperformance of the S&P 500 index by approximately +624% from 1977 – 2009
March Madness Or Retirement Sadness?
Politics have no long-term impact on your finances and retirement. Legislative policies can create winners and losers of companies and industries, but history on your side if you consider the positive track record of stocks over the last 200 years.
Re-Questioning The Death Of Buy & Hold Investing
Last week, the Dow closed at 20,624. Sure there have been plenty of ups and downs since 2010, but as I suggested seven years ago, perhaps “buy and hold” still is not dead today?
Stocks: Be My Long-Term Valentine
Like any relationship, investing takes work, and there will always be highs, lows, and bumps in the road. It is better to think in terms of a marathon, rather than a sprint.
Super Bowl Blitz – Dow 20,000
The last time the Dow closed above 10,000 was on March 29, 1999, so it has taken almost 18 years to double to 20,000. Is the Dow reaching the 20,000 landmark level a big deal in the whole scheme of things?
Dow 20,000 – Braking News Or Breaking News?
While the record 20,000 achievement is a beautifully round number and is responsible for a bevy of headlines splashing around the world, the reality is this artificial 20,000 level is completely arbitrary.
Become The Landlord Of Your Stocks
The net present value or discounted cash flow valuation methodology basically states any asset is worth the cumulative value of cash inflows minus the value of cash outflows, after adjusting that netted figure for time and interest rates.
Brain Or Machine? Investing Holy Grail
In the emotional roller-coaster equity markets we’ve experienced over the last decade or two, overreliance on gut-driven sentiments in the investment process has left masses of casualties in the wake of losses.
