Tickers For The Latest Portfolio Reshaping

Fri, 04 Sep 2009 15:45:21 GMT

Fortunately my portfolio management methods don’t revolve around frequent trading. One of my kids came up to me recently and said, “What did you do today, Dad?” I said, “I made one trade, and I did a bunch of research.” He then asked, “How often do you trade?” I answered, “That was my first trade in a week, and I haven’t traded much in the last two months, but that’s not normal. There is no normal for me. When the market is really volatile, I trade a lot more, selling when stocks are rising, and buying when they are selling off. When the market is relatively placid, I don’t do much.” He looked at me, kind of smiled, and moved on. Information overload from Dad. Most people and investment managers trade too often. They sell their winners too rapidly, and panic too soon on their losers. Now, I’m not advocating “buy and forget,” or Buffett’s statement, “Our favorite holding period is forever.”[More...]

Cap and Trade Part Two: How We'll Profit

Wed, 08 Jul 2009 16:31:30 GMT

We got hundreds of responses to last week's cap and trade essay. Plenty of readers were shocked by how much the new bill will cost you, me, and every American family... Not J.M., who writes, "Ask me if I am surprised. Congress (as well as local governments) treats us as cash cows, which in fact we are." Some readers didn't like questioning our government's huge new tax policy. R.R. writes, "Matt's article on the energy legislation is a political rant and fear mongering." And D.B. gripes, "I wish I could cancel and get my money back when I read your Republican and Libertarian views. Why don't you just stick to providing investment advice and leave the environmental commentary to scientists?" Well, D.B., I'd be sad to see you go. But thanks for cutting to the chase: how to profit. It's time to talk about the best ways to recoup some[More...]
