Cracking the Financial Freedom Code: Lessons We Can Learn from Tiger Woods, @iamdiddy and Lebron James

When I opened my first paycheck as a summer intern for a now extinct electronics company, I will never forget saying that if they are paying me this now without a degree, once I receive my degree, I will be living LARGE.  That thought would get me through Calculus II – not once, but twice [...]

The Buy and Hold Fairy

I think that everyone who has ever bought a stock has dreamed of buying one for a few dollars per share and selling it down the road for many dollars per share.  The good old buy it, hold it and sell it at the top strategy.  In spite of a 40% pounding last year and [...]

Do 401K plans still make sense?

Millions of Americans, unbeknown to them, are trusting their retirement to the luck of the stock market draw.  I recently talked about this in my post 401Ks: Main Street’s Friend or Foe? I just stumbled across a great article from the Wall Street Journal that adds data to my intuitive thinking.

401Ks: Main Street’s Friend or Foe?

After the market was pounded to the tune of -40% last year, most didn’t think that it could get much worse.   Well it has.  January and February of 2009 have the esteemed privilege of being the worst first two months in the DOW’s 113 year history.  After two months, the DOW is off nearly 20%.

    A Simple Money Management Idea for Stock Traders

    I stumbled across the chart below while hanging out on stocktwits a few months ago. It is a monthly chart of the S&P 500 with a 10 month EMA (exponential moving average).   We could have made a boat load of money simply by going long when the S&P 500 is above the moving average [...]
