I’ve had just about enough of all the “gloom and doom” talk that’s been running rampant in today’s financial media.
Just look at the headlines from some of the major financial media sites:
“Fresh Tumult as Signs of Recession Go Global”
“How Detroit Drove Into a Ditch “
“Where Have All the Safe Stocks ...

The whirlwind of news surrounding the current financial mess we're in has my head spinning.
First it's foreclosures, then it's Fannie and Freddie and then it's Merril Lynch and AIG - when will it stop?

There have been many times throughout my investing career when I've second guessed myself. There have been times, especially when the market has gone against me for a while, when I have had some self doubt.
I'm sure you can relate - especially after the last few weeks.

I’ve discussed the topic a bit in previous newsletters and blog articles, but I guess it might make sense ...

Somebody asked this question on TickerHound a few months ago (just as the market began to take a dive):

It’s a question I’ve thought a lot about, and have written extensively on, for the last few months.
For me, it all ...

For investors, a proper education and investing framework should always trump access to "immediate information".
I know that automated information aggregation, synthesis and analysis is all the rage on Wall Street these days. Banks, traders and hedge funds are all jockeying to get the news first, fastest and interpreted in ...

As I wrote last week, it’s pretty clear times are tough right now. With three quarters of the population thinking we’re already in a recession and the market sinking by the day, I don’t think there’s any more debating as to whether or not we’re in Bear Market territory.

A TickerHound member asked:
Why isn't the iPhone in China?
Good question! But I think the better question is, why isn’t the iPhone in China YET?
After months of failed negotiations between Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) and China Mobile (NYSE: CHL) – the largest mobile service provider in the world in terms of subscribers ...

It’s pretty clear that TickerHound, while certainly focused on finance, is first and foremost a web-based business. Therefore, I tend to pay a lot of attention to the web startup scene. I like to know what else is out there, what’s working, what isn’t, etc.
