You know how people always say you should “invest in yourself?” Well, given now irrational and emotional we can all be from time to time, when it comes to investing I think there’s also a pretty good argument for diversifying away from yourself. Several times over the years I’ve written about that general idea of […]

Let me start with a special welcome to our new Irregulars who came aboard this week, during the still-ongoing Charitable Membership Drive (tell your friends, the campaign goes through December 15!) — thank you for supporting Stock Gumshoe, and I hope you can grow to tolerate, and sometimes even enjoy, my lengthy Friday blatherations. I […]
The hardest thing to do is nothing, and I again failed in that task this week. I added a new position to the Real Money Portfolio earlier this week in Match Group (MTCH), added a new position in a new company to the Lock Box at the close yesterday, and I’ll get to all of […]
The folks at Dividend.com Premium ($149/yr) pitch a new favorite dividend growth stock every now and then, and this time around it’s an “Amazon proof” retailer… which always perks up the ears a little bit. So what are they hinting at? Here’s the lead-in to their spiel: “While the pandemic changed plenty about our society, […]
Today I’ll start us out with some relatively minor updates on Real Money Portfolio companies, then I’ve got a new stock for the $100K Lock Box to talk about. Chewy (CHWY) Chewy (CHWY), everyone’s favorite online pet food and accessory retailer, had yet another strong quarter as, believe it or not, those people who rushed […]
We’re now a year past the beginning of the real full-on panic about the coronavirus, and just a year past the worst drop in the stock market in March of 2020, so I went back to read my stuff from last April to see what I was doing and how I was feeling. Here’s a […]
It’s been a phenomenal couple years for the Real Money Portfolio, but I should also note that this has been to some degree a “monkeys throwing darts” kind of market — as long as you did more buying than selling over the past couple years, and as long as you kept your exposure to some […]
First, a hearty welcome and “thank you” to all the new Irregulars who joined us during the Gumshoe Gives Back campaign this week — we did set a new record, and the money is still rolling in… but you’ve got until midnight tonight to talk the rest of your friends into joining 🙂 And now, […]
We won’t be posting a Friday File next week due to the Thanksgiving holiday, and publishing will be light in general for the next few days for the same reason (though we will, of course, feature our annual Turkey of the Year) … so perhaps you can take some solace in the fact that this […]
Narratives and emotion drive the market in the short term, so last week we saw the tech stocks and COVID winners take another surge higher, perhaps in some surge of “election finally done” relief or just from the indications of a likely split government ahead… this week, some combination of Joe Biden’s election victory being […]
Kind of seems like everyone wants to run away and hide until after the election, no? I can’t emphasize enough just how happy I am that this will all be over a week from now… or, at least, that the voting and the initial results will be over, I hope the polls are correct and […]
Here’s the way the world looks to me right now: The combination of a highly emotional Supreme Court fight, the failure of the government to agree on more stimulus/rescue money, and the way all that plays into the upcoming election and the virulent “end of the world” posturing we’ll hear from both major parties, means […]
Interest rates will be near zero for three more years now, we expect — that’s the basic takeaway from the Federal Reserve’s press conference this week. So what does that mean? In order to make money to meet their future obligations, retirees and pension funds and other investors have to take more risks. That’s ugly […]
This is an ad I actually haven’t seen, but a couple readers have sent in questions that include some clues, so we’ll try to solve them for you. That means, by the way, that we’re being a little bit unfair — since I haven’t reviewed this full ad, what we’re quoting from is hearsay… it […]
The Motley Fool in recent years has done just fine with its Stock Advisor and Rule Breakers picks many of which have been in that sweet spot of technology growth stocks, but much of the marketing has shifted to their newer, higher-end services. Like most publishers, the Motley Fool seems to be focused on that […]
