Is The Suspense Killing You Yet?
2008-01-22 05:33:00 Good . It may turn out that I was fibbing when I said what I said in the last post. These things aren't really over until they're over. Either way, I should know soon. If things fall through, I've got a great analysis of the market for a short time frame from end of December until now. So, if the transaction doesn't wrap up as planned, I'll post all those goodies instead. See you soon... More About: Suspense , Killing

I Really Ought To Go To New York
2008-01-12 06:19:00 Why’s that you say? Primarily, because you never know what kind of admirers you might find along the way. Interesting people perhaps. People with an eye for suspicious matters willing to pursue minor investigations into the depths of other interesting people. When you see such things, as I sometimes do, you think that places like say, Brooklyn, suddenly might have an appeal all their own. Not More About: New York , York , New-York
Some Details On How I Did The Recent Stock Market Analysis
2008-01-06 16:58:00 One of the few “regulars” on this blog asked me a question in regards to the recent stock market analysis I did. The essential question was: “Could you say something about the process of collecting and analyzing the data? Where did you get it, what software did you use, how long did it take you to do this analysis etc.?” To elaborate on the brief explanation outlined in this article about the More About: Stock Market , Market , Analysis , Stock , Recent

2007-12-31 04:41:00 I should warn you in advance that this article is both long and tedious.

Very Large Dataset Analysis #3 – 91 Good Dividends For Bad Times
2007-12-25 03:05:00 After burning up one computer, transferring data to another, then having to upgrade that new one to handle the workload of the Very Large Dataset Project, I’ll be finally posting some results again. In addition to the computer upgrades, I had to create new code that would correct share price values from the past to automatically account for the effects of stock splits.

Kashmir
2007-12-19 06:44:00 When mixing the old with the new, one better be vary careful. Careful why? Because whatever hope one might have in preserving the best qualities of the old can be ruined with the introduction of the new. Care would seem to be something that was taken, when Kashmir was covered by Bond.So much care in fact, that it (in my ignorant opinion) actually improved significantly on Led Zeppelin’s terrific
And The Winner Of The Starbucks Gift Card Is…
2007-12-18 04:44:00 …hopefully a hell of a lot warmer than I am right now . In fact, I recommend that this individual buy a couple Frappuccinoes instead of a hot mug. Russell from Hawaii is the winner. Congratulations Russell. Russell may contact me using the “contact me” link on the left so I can verify his identity and get an address.

The Dow is Falling! The Dow is Falling!
2007-12-18 00:41:00 So stocks suck right now. Down and down they go, when they will stop no one knows. How does one react to such forces? I don’t know about you, but clearly, as you can see quite plainly, updated for you daily during the week and at least once a weekend, my portfolio has long since passed the bloody nose phase—now it’s lost arms and legs. But much like the knight from Monty Python, it still has…um…
The Aftermath Of The StumbleUpon Marathon
2007-12-15 19:25:00 I’d like to think that somewhere in Mountain View, California, somewhere near Google, some weary eyed and exhausted computer technician is just finally putting his tools away after having been called in for a special emergency: multiple hard drive failures in one of their Blogger servers. Of course this is a bit exaggerated, but my mere imaginings are the small price I’d like to pay myself after More About: Marathon , Stumbleupon
Why 281 People Should Sign Up For My Starbucks Card Giveaway
2007-12-15 16:49:00 (At the end of this article is an update)So far only two people have signed up and it ends tonight. The next person who signs up has a 33% chance of winning. Which brings me to a good point: “is it worth signing up?” A little surprised that more people haven’t signed up for it (it’s easy to do, just leave a comment), I decided to present this like a gambler would.

How To Defeat A Defeated Market
2007-12-15 02:22:00 (This first paragraph was written with intended complication—to avoid the hassle, you may skip it and still hit the main course starting in the second paragraph—new traffic persuades me to go fishing). I think different kinds of people react in widely different ways to objectively bad situations. Did you catch the nuance there? I placed it at the end after we all got thinking about differences.

How To Make A Million Dollars In About 8 Years
2007-12-13 02:22:00 A lot of people I know would really love to make a million dollars. Can you imagine what you could do with that? Besides your initial spending spree (I think we almost all would do the same initial actions—pay off some bills, fix up a car, repair something or other in our house; in other words, we would get “safe”), think of all the ways you could really start maximizing your potential.

The Day I Was A Day Trader
2007-12-11 06:33:00 Of course, I don’t mean that literally; not in the “close your positions by market close” kind of way. What I mean (as strange as it might sound) is the um, actually “trade during the day” way. Believe it or not, I don’t actually have the opportunity to physically place trades during market hours (I’ve mentioned this before, to some peoples’ surprise). I’ve relied almost exclusively on limit
I Put My Money Where My Mouth Is
2007-12-09 04:30:00 As you might know (well, at least those very careful readers might—those who keep tabs on my portfolio without my needing to shine a light on it), I decided to avoid one of the things I often dislike about many commentators who write about the stock market: they can talk all day long but you'll never know if they have the stomach to eat what they say you should eat. In other words, a few days ago More About: Money , Mouth
52 Ways To Profit From The Falling US Dollar
2007-12-04 03:03:00 I was carpooling this morning with my friend when we entered a discussion about the merits and drawbacks of using ADR’s as a means to benefit from already strong overseas companies during these weak times of the U.S. dollar. Even though the conversation was general, it got me thinking. Ultimately, later in the day, I concluded that an obvious way would be one where successful foreign companies More About: Dollar , Profit
It’s Time To Give Away Another $10 Starbucks Gift Card
2007-12-02 17:37:00 Everyone knows by now about my fondness for C. Arabica beverages. But because I couldn’t be so selfish so as to captivate my love for coffee-related drinks to myself exclusively, it’s time me thinks to export some of that indulgence. Well, I’ll provide the cash anyways, you can do the indulging. Unlike last time which turned out to be a bit too complicated, I’ll make this one much easier: a More About: Card , Time , Starbucks , Gift , Give
Snacking On Prospect Street
2007-12-02 02:45:00 To begin, I should disclose that I don’t invest for dividends. I invest for stock price appreciation. In fact, I’m so strict about this, that I don’t even take a company’s dividend into consideration when I buy it. If it has one, and I happen to be holding it for a distribution period, great. Bonus. Period. With that said, I recently purchased some shares of Prospect Street High Income Portfolio
Why A Guy Who Never Wants To Buy A Bank Is Thinking About Buying A Bank
2007-11-27 05:21:00 I never consider buying into banks. They’re always just too safe. They’re always just so “been there done that.” Perhaps were I older, or more risk averse, or retired or something, would I consider them. But I’m none of these. The problem for me has always been that banks just really don’t do that much. In short they’re too easy. The advantage they have over other stocks I do consider is that More About: Buying , Bank , Thinking
Why I Like The Stock Market—Reason #3
2007-11-21 02:56:00 I like the stock market because it’s unlike a traditional job. For the time being, for me, I still very much have to work. So, while my investing activities happen to run parallel to my employment activities, I get, instead of some longing to discontinue the job I am not so perfectly suited for, a chance to constantly compare the one to the other.

How To Survive In A Bear Market—Warren Buffett Style
2007-11-13 04:17:00 As the plausibility of a bear market continues to grow, I thought it would be useful to consider ways that we could react, should the market take a turn for the worst. Even better, let’s let Warren Buffett do it.
