Doctor, I am quite familiar with medicine as my father was one of the top cardiologists in NYC as well as the east coast but my main reason for writing is to compliment you on an excellent article, well written, concise, and replete with humour as well. Th[...]

I certainly owe you, Travis... glad to make a small contribution for all that I've received, best, /* Philip */[...]

I believe MTW to be a much better buy as they own a restaurant supply company which they might spin off and which is possibly worth more than 4 billion. Relational Investors has invested in MTW. /* Philip */[...]

I bought 16000 shs around 1/21/14 for .68/share and have a 28.75% gain as of today. /* Philip */[...]

I've owned quite a bit with an 11.18 basis bought from May 2011 thru Nov 2013. The main downside for me regarding their recent announced purchases is the coal as I really do not like coal as an investment. Since I am averaging around 16.5% annual gain over[...]

A couple of things vis-a-vis Canadian stocks, currency. 47% of my portfolio is in US stocks, 37% in Canadian stocks using Canadian $. A very good way to invest in foreign stocks for me is to do it via Interactive brokers where I have my account that handle[...]

Typo, should be between 10/7/13 and 10/14/13[...]

I bought NDRO between 10/7/13 & 10/14/12 with an avg purch price of 12.16 and own quite a bit of it. The only other oil trust I own has been DMLP wh I bought 2007-2008 and I am happy with both of them. My portfolio has the following percentages: Agrigultu[...]

and TD Ameritrade is owned by Toronto Dominion Bank so they have decent access to capital.[...]

Excellent column, Myron. As one who has invested in miners, energy, and agriculture over the past 12-15 years I have never done anything in Uranium and appreciate your iinsights. About 1/3 of my investments are in .to and .v items which I trade via Intera[...]

Earnest, Of course these should be added lol. Were you near by -- we live near New Paltz, NY -- I would invite you over for a drink-discussion but you are probably near to teaching hospital. I came across Hans Mommsen this evening when looking up other th[...]

Hello Travis, I bought MPW on 9/4 & 9/5 with a basis of 11.58 after reading about it on your site in July. So for me it's yielding 6.9% on my basis and has a 10.63% capital gain so far this year. I would've mentioned it, but forgot to. It would be nice if[...]

I agree with ET but there's a lot more to be read, digested, et al. Peter Kropotkin, Mikhail Bakunin, Howard Zinn, Chomsky, etc. And, yes, unfortunately humans kill one another. We have been somewhat conscious for around 15,000 years and still are killin[...]

Earnest, I appreciate your comment and tend to agree with you and Travis's reply is excellent as well. As an elderly person who has traded stocks for quite a while and one whose father was on of the top cardiologists in NYC I do understand you POV (Point [...]

I already own a lot of SSL.TO at 5.06 Cad, but may buy more, Thanks.[...]

Excellent site. Thanks Travis.[...]

Living in a rural area of the Catskill mtns where I raise fruit and nut trees (over 300) I have been exposed to Lyme disease multitudinous times. But, an interesting story, about 10 years ago when I heard about a Lyme disease vaccine I was one of the first[...]

There seems to be nothing found for Ascent Capital (ASCWA). I looked in two charting programs as well as on Google Finance and Yahoo Finance.[...]

Good point regarding the symbols vs names. I have been trading for so long that I no longer can remember all the names lol, and basically always cite the symbols but, henceforth, here I will do as you suggest since it probably makes for easier reading. b[...]
