So what’s happening this week? We inch closer to the election, and to what I continue to expect will be a relief rally no matter how the results come out — the last time I was this eager for something to just be over was probably when I made the mistake of watching The English […]

Today I’m throwing in a little bonus article, since it’s an interesting topic, everyone seems to be obsessed with gold again this week (though gold prices took a little tumble yesterday), and a few folks have asked about E.B. Tucker from Casey Research and his “Gold Placements” pitch. If that doesn’t sound familiar, he has […]
Here’s my soothsaying bit for this week, which you should feel free to ignore — like everyone else who’s predicting the future, I’m probably going to be wrong. I don’t think, even now, that we’re pricing in even the bad news that is already almost certain this year… or if we are, we’re pricing in […]
OK, I know, it’s getting a little ridiculous that I still haven’t covered the whole portfolio of stocks with my annual review updates — but for some I’m waiting to see what the quarterly update tells me, and for others, well, I’m just trying to catch up. Here’s what I’ve got for you by way […]
Heydy ho, Gumshoe friends… today I’m going to go a little over my allotted time, this is the last Friday File for 2019 so I’m going to throw in a teaser solution for you first, then go over some updates and changes and news items from the Real Money Portfolio… ready? The teaser that some […]
Happy Friday! I’ve got another reading assignment for you today… the researcher behind the Dunning-Kruger effect posted an interesting article called “We Are All Confident Idiots” a couple years ago that just came to my attention (I think someone posted it on Twitter, but forgot to jot down the original source). Here’s a little excerpt, […]
Here’s what I’m trying to avoid: Predicting the direction of the markets because of my deep understanding of US-China trade dynamics. Every time I read an article that asserts “China trade deal more likely because of Bolton firing” or something like that, I throw up in my mouth a little bit. The market is way […]
Today I’ve got a few portfolio moves to share with you that go against the Wall Street mantra (“sell your losers, let your winners run”)… last night I sold my position in Kweichow Moutai in China — this is a fantastic company, mostly because they have insanely high profit margins on their signature Moutai liquor… […]
There’s no more cyclical stock than a semiconductor stock, and we’re seeing the whipsaw slash through that market now as trade sentiment weakens and pundits begin to see some weakness in the economy, particularly in the employment numbers, and the Federal Reserve fuels that uncertainty by essentially promising a rate cut in their attempt to […]
Heydy ho, investing friends! I finally wrap up my Annual Review this week by covering the final three names… and I’ve also got a bunch of other updates to share with you, along with one add-on buy and one brand-new holding for the Real Money Portfolio… enjoy! We’ll start with the completion of the annual […]
If you’re wondering whether it’s interest rates or just “worry about overvaluation or growth” that’s making the stock market go crazy this week, or whether it’s the trade war or political upheaval or something else, well, join the club. There’s some indication that traders are in fear of the “slowdown” that could be caused by […]
Since the other part of today’s Friday File is all about a biotech stock tease, I thought I’d start out this week’s look at my Real Money Portfolio stocks in that sector. I avoid the drug developers, for the most part, but health care should be a huge sector and a growing one, in general, […]
Crazy earnings week, eh? That leads me to a few adjustments to the portfolio, as my opinions have changed about a few stocks at the top of the Real Money Portfolio. So this week your Friday File is another run through a hodgepodge of stocks, starting with the one that I think is looking most […]
Today we’ve got a bonanza of content for my favorite people (yes, that’s you!) — a couple quick teaser solutions to close out the week, which morphs right into one little transaction in my portfolio, and then an update on a few other things that are going on with Real Money Portfolio stocks. Ready? OK, […]
Today we’re going to start you out with a quickie teaser solution, and I’m going to keep it quick mostly because this one is largely a connect-the-dots guess, given the limited number of clues that were dropped in the ad. The ad is from Marin Katusa, who went off on his own after leaving Casey […]
So… what’s been happening to the Real Money Portfolio stocks this week? What else caught my eye? No transactions this week, but plenty of stuff to think about… Clean TeQ Holdings (CLQ.AX, CLQ.TO, CTEQF) announced a somewhat surprising equity raise a couple days ago. It seems inspired largely by urgency — they can’t really claim […]
For this week, the focus of my Annual Review moves to natural resources. I’ve owned a bunch of stocks in this sector over the years, though it has grown more concentrated of late in the mining area — mostly gold, though not entirely. To start with, I should share my basic strategy — or my […]
So… what’s going in in the Real Money Portfolio this week, as we close up shop and get ready for a bit of time with family and friends? I do have one buy to share with you today, I decided to pick up some shares of the stock that I wrote to you about a […]
We don’t have one big story that’s catching my eye today, so I’ll do some catching up and musing for you. We’re heading into a slow week, so it’s likely there won’t be many new articles during Thanksgiving week — other than our annual “Turkey of the Year” reveal, of course. I often get asked […]
Well, we finish out the week with yet another dramatic performance from the market-dominating tech stocks. Alphabet (GOOG) did better than expected and popped a bit, climbing further through the day, almost as much as the gains Microsoft (MSFT) made on a more dramatic ‘beat’ of expectations (though analysts have always been better at estimating […]
