December 21, 2011
By

For my last issue of 2011–a very challenging and, in many ways, confusing year for investors–our fantastic editor Elyse Andrews thought it would be a neat idea to interview me and get my thoughts on the market, what the future might hold and address some of the knowing questions on everyone’s mind.  Here’s what came out over our 30-minute chat.

December 19, 2011
By

It’s hard to remember now, but there was a time when a rainy day presented an actual challenge to parents. The assumption was that on sunny days, children would be outside, playing in a kind of Norman Rockwell wonderland, no matter what the season. But when the sun disappeared and the rain fell, kids were cooped up indoors, bored, grouchy and itching to let off steam in the kind of activity that often resulted in raised voices, frayed nerves and broken lamps.

The Toughest Market to Analyze

November 28, 2011
By

I have been involved in the market for almost 25 years now as a student, writer and trader. Having been at it this long, I am usually able–by carefully consulting numerous indicators and statistics–to achieve an understanding of the market and an idea of what it is likely to do next.
