When the market is doing well, holding hedges like cash and gold is going to hurt your portfolio performance when you measure against the S&P 500 or other common benchmarks. That’s the case for me right now, and has been for the recent past — though it hasn’t been enough to bring me below the […]
I have one relatively substantial portfolio change that I telegraphed to you last week, and which has been spurred by a recent dip in one stock and good news from another. I have sold about two thirds of my position in AIG 2021 Warrants following the trigger of a stop loss in that position (because […]
I’ve got a few Real Money Portfolio updates for you today, but first I wanted to check in on a teaser that a few folks have asked about… Dr. Stephen Leeb is a familiar name in newsletterdom, he has been helming newsletters from a variety of publishers for decades, and it seems he has again […]
have an example of a crazy return in my portfolio this week, and it’s getting close to the time that I have to make a decision about it. My remaining position in Shopify (SHOP) April Call Options, on which I’ve already taken a profit in excess of my initial investment, was glowing on my spreadsheet […]
I’ve got a hodgepodge of ideas and small news items for you this week, plus a few transactions in my Real Money Portfolio that I’ve mostly noted for the Irregulars in quick notes earlier in the week.

I have a few updates for you this week — there was a little bit of earnings news in the Gumshoe Universe, and I did a little rebalancing in my portfolio to get cash levels up in anticipation of future buying opportunities… but first, the latest pitch for Chris Versace’s Growth & Dividend Report caught […]
Joe Altman and Chris Kyriopoiulos at COMPOUND started out their talk with a quick mention of the TARP Warrants that they think are excellent buys — we wrote about those warrants last month and did not feature their two favorites, but you can see my thoughts on the warrants in general here. The ones they […]
I’ll be traveling for most of the next week, so we’re getting this Idea of the Month note out to you on Thursday night/Friday morning, a bit early. There will not be a Friday File or much else in the way of new content at Stock Gumshoe next week, but I will provide at least […]
