In how many areas of life can you be guaranteed to get average results even if your abilities are inferior? That was one of my favorites quotes from the presentation by Ed Wachenheim at the Grant’s Conference: “People with inferior abilities can get average results with an index fund, which is remarkable.” But, of course, […]

More on this tomorrow as I get into more detail in the Friday File, but I thought I should let the Irregulars know that I made a few transactions in my personal account today. Even taken all together this does not amount to a major transaction — but it does away with or decreases a […]
All of you, dear Irregulars, know that Stock Gumshoe is not a “tip sheet,” and I don’t operate a portfolio for other people to emulate or copy, or even attempt to track the stocks we cover as if they were a portfolio of buys and sells with consistent trading advice… but I do keep a […]
I’m going to keep it brief for you today — and we’re not going to have a formal “Idea of the Month” piece for October because, well, we’re at the end of October and I haven’t recently come across a new idea that’s compelling enough for me to argue you should own it. In some […]
This week there’s been quite a bit of news in stocks that I follow fairly closely or own or have featured in the past as “Idea of the Month” candidates for the irregulars, so I do have a bit of a teaser campaign to talk to you about (that’s the Casey bit), but I’m going […]
None of the teasers this week struck me as so thrilling that I have to cover them for the Irregulars today, but I’ve been following a few of my favorite stocks and their quarterly updates recently, and bought a few stocks today, so I’ll share some company updates for the Friday File this time around. […]
This month I want to take a look at a stock I’ve mentioned in the past, but have not yet personally bought. But first, I thought I’d call your attention to another wave of negativity that could be hitting Seadrill (SDRL) shares — Elliot Gue, who was one of the first newsletter folks to call […]
Happy Friday, all — Irregulars have already seen a few “members only” articles this week, from Dr. KSS’ new posting to my update on goings-on with Ligand, so I think we’ll probably be a bit on the brief side with the Friday File today… let’s see if I can stick with that prediction. Things are […]
Before I get churning with this week’s Friday File, I want to take the opportunity to thank you, the Irregulars — and particularly the several new members we’ve had join up as Irregulars in the last few weeks — welcome to the club! Stock Gumshoe has always tried to balance how we do things, offering […]
I always like to squeeze in the pre-conference workshop at the Value Investing Congress, because in that much smaller group we tend to get more discussion and deeper analysis… and the stories aren’t all blogged by a hundred people and on CNBC, so there’s usually time to consider them. It takes me some time after […]
I’ve got a handful of updates for you, including one on a stock that I bought yesterday and a few other notes about recent quarterly reports from stocks I follow, but first … a teaser to solve … When I wrote about Marc Lichtenfeld’s pitch for “Spread Trusts” yesterday, I promised to also try to […]
I do have a quick teaser unveiling to share with you for today’s Friday File, but I want to start with a look at a stock that I own and that I suggested to the Irregulars several years ago, Sprott Resource Corp. (SCP in Canada, SCPZF on the pink sheets) Why? Because they just agreed […]
I’ve got a teaser pick or two to sniff out for you today for our Friday File edutainment, but first I thought i’d share a few thoughts on a couple of the other companies that have floated through these parts over the years. The first one is StoneMor Partners (STON), which is a master limited […]
