Perception is Reality in the Market

I want to write today about something we mention often but never really explain fully: The fact that the company is not the stock. Most people confuse the two—they see a firm with a new product that’s beating earnings estimates and assume it’s a good growth stock. No! It might be a good company, but that doesn’t mean it is (or will be) a good growth stock.

Stocks discussed: U.S. Steel (X), Ford (F), General Electric (GE), Amazon.com (AMZN) and Apple (AAPL). Click below to watch the video!

Weighing the Evidence

Last week, I had the opportunity to report for jury duty. (I know there are hundreds of jokes that can be inserted here, but I’ll spare you.)

In the end I was not selected to sit on the jury, but I learned something that I think can relate to the stock market. Because this was a criminal trial and not a civil trial, the defense attorney pointed out numerous...
