Protect your assets against Catastrophes - Planning is key:
A few days ago, I received an interesting email from someone who finds himself worrying about the effect of catastrophic events on his investments. The writer says that the basic theme of my investing advice is always to invest gradually over the long-term. What worries him is the possibility of catastrophic events like a global depression or a war that suddenly wipes out carefully accumulated wealth. He d like to know what one can do to protect one s nest egg against such disasters.This worry i - http://prajnacapital.blogspot.com/

Asian Markets Mixed In Early Trading:
HONG KONG (MarketWatch) – Asian markets were mixed early Friday, with Japanese indexes wavering between positive and negative territories as gains in energy producers such as Inpex Holdings Inc. were countered by losses in shipping and airline stocks. The Nikkei 225 Average slipped 0.1% to 13,254.26, after dropping in the previous 11 sessions. The broader Topix index rose 0.2% to 1,300.58, after flirting with losses earlier.

Simplifying Benjamin Graham s famous Margin of Safety formula:
Margin of safety is a formula to identify the difference between company value and price. If value and price are equal, the stock price considered as fairly valued. If price is more than the value, then you can assume that the stock is overprices. If price is less than value, this is a good buy because there is lots of room available for better profit in the future. All are correct. But, hoe do you find out the value and price? That is the question. This is a magic formula from legend investor B - http://investinternals.blogspot.com

ESLR Update 2:
Evergreen Solar (ESLR) has been dropping since its peak of $12.30 in mid June to yesterday s close, below $9 a share. If you re following this seesaw ride, I ve been down 8.7% from my purchase price, then up 18.3%, and now I m down again, this time 11.54% as of today s close. I ve had a limit order in place for the other half of my planned purchase, at $8.60 a share. This morning I lowered it to an even $8, thinking it would continue falling.

Three Small Profitable Trades For TIM; Three Giant Gains For TIMalert-kind:
Yup, posted about another couple of trades rather perfectly, even while I personally screwed them up a bit…this has gotta be some kind of record, what is it 10 years of this crap now? Welcome to my life brothas! Wednesday: After a morning runup, I saw HYGS fading a bit—price and volume-wise, so I pulled up my Thinkorswim live chat to enter in my order (reserved shares in the morning, but just put a note on my account) and guess what I saw, I had shorted 2,000 TGC at $3.49 (thinking it’d ne - http://www.timothysykes.com

Three Stocks to Double Your Money in the Next Asian Market Bubble:
By Tom Dyson:In 1987, a new president won power in Taiwan... the first native Taiwanese to head the government. The new president started loosening regulations. He encouraged citizens to buy luxury American goods. He freed the press. He allowed opposition political parties to compete for power. He let Taiwanese citizens send money abroad. And he let Taiwanese citizens travel to China to visit - http://investreg.blogspot.com

European Banks Boosted by More Positive Outlook:
After the global financial industry shed $403 billion in write-downs, European banks are finally turning a corner and boosting their share prices. German giant Deustche Bank AG (DB) and Switzerland’s UBS AG (UBS) both declared they would not need to raise further capital yesterday (Wednesday) as the bulk of losses tied to mortgage-backed securities is now behind them. “At first glance this is some much-needed positive news for Deutsche in particular but also for the whole sector,” Helge R - http://jutiagroup.com

Selling books and Borrowing wheelchairs:
Copyright © 2006-2008 Clever Dude. All Rights Reserved. Selling Books We have too many books. Not nearly as many as some people I’ve spoken to, but too many to fit nicely on our bookshelves. We haven’t bought many books recently (we just don’t have time for leisure reading anymore), but we have a lot of books from our college days. Well I decided to sell some books!

Who is David Dodd and Why Should We Listen to Him:
Smith & Wesson immediately means something to a person familiar with firearms. In much the same way, the phrase Graham and Dodd carries a lot of weight with value investors. David LeFevre Dodd, the lessor known of the two, was born in 1895. He was an educator and close colleague of Benjamin Graham at the Columbia Business School.The 1929 stock market crash almost wiped out Graham. The crash inspired Graham to search for a more conservative, safer way to invest. Graham agreed to teach with th - http://dividends4life.blogspot.com

CNBC is Strange:
I was thinking last week about whether the anchors/talent on CNBC consider themselves to be reporters or analysts. CNBC s web site call them Anchors & Reporters . This morning Michelle Caruso-Cabrera and Euro-talker Ross Westgate (who is pretty sharp imo) are actually arguing over whether the ECB should hike rates and why. There is no guest on. They are just arguing.I guess it s obvious that I think that they think they re analysts. I agree that they spend a lot of time thinking about the m - http://upisgooddownisbad.blogspot.com/

Credit Cards for Super Wealthy:
I reviewed two credit cards before: American Express Centurion Card (also known as the Black Card) and Citi Chairman Card. Both of them charge very high amount of annual fees ($2500 for Centurion Card and $500 for the Chairman Card). Note that the Citi Chairman Card is also an American Express card. Actually, there are many other cards network (Via and MasterCard) offer high annual fee credit cards.

12,126:
Another day of piteous low volumes with the KSE-100 index trading only 11.9 million shares. The market has closed down for the fourth consecutive session and has lost 326 points since Thursday.  The only solace here is that prior to the new measures with a 1% downside , the current four session loss would have been incurred in one. The erosion has been slowed down and  bearing  in mind that as the other world and regional markets are getting fucked badly at the moment,  the o - http://karachistockmarket.blogsome.com

Gas is Expensive? Think Again:
[This post is written and copyrighted by FIRE Finance (http://firefinance.blogspot.com).]We know that gasoline is not cheap. Neither do these examples suggest that gasoline is cheap. They simply illustrate how outrageous some prices are. Since we purchase these commodities in small quantities we re usually not aware about how expensive they are. More so, when compared to gasoline. Really, this set of data coerced us to think, and aided in correcting our perspective. Especially the last one!1 ga - http://firefinance.blogspot.com/

IN DEFENSE OF FUND MANAGERS:
There has been a lot of mutual fund bashing going on recently, with investors upset that fund managers have not been able to protect investors in the current downside. I am also guilty of criticizing these guys in a previous post. Everyone wants a scapegoat when things go wrong. But I now think we ought to take a relook at what went wrong with the decisions that fund managers made and were they - http://investologic.blogspot.com

Appreciation:
The last couple of days I ve been very frustrating dealing with this Bells Palsy and the complications that come with it but, all the emails and encouraging comments have made it easier. Thank you very much for all of the encouragement.

ECB deciding rate on Thursday - what’s next for gold:

Chitika Alternatives:
If you are a Chitika publisher, then you’ve surely noticed a big change in your average CPC and earnings in May. Unfortunately, for most publishers this resulted in much lower earnings than before. You can see some of the comments in this post: What the f is going on with Chitika? There was also quite a bit of discussions in the Chitika forums and other IM forums like Digital Point. I use to get around 0.35 per click 6 months ago in my vacuum cleaners niche. Later, the CPC dropped to arou - http://www.freedomideas.com

Are The Tax Rebate Stimulus Checks Just a Crafty Way To Catch Cunning Criminals?:
Alliterations aside, it makes for an interesting argument. To have been (and still be able until Oct 15, 2008) eligible to receive a tax stimulus package from the US Government, you need to file a 1040A form; once you file the form, you’re in the system - is it putting out a short bait to get several bigger fish?

The Wonderful World Of ETFs:
Over the last few years I ve placed my focus on trading ETFs rather than stocks. I ll still look at stocks such as GOOG or AAPL but I d much rather focus on ETFs because they represent a broad basket of stocks and they also allow us to participate in commodity trends. In this post I d like to show some charts of ETFs that many of you might not be aware of. So here we go! Above is the ETF for - http://kevinsmarketblog.blogspot.com

Below is another photo I took at Quan Bia Minh last evening. The little tower across the road would make a really nice spot to have a private Jacuzzi.

Time to Invest in Dividend-Seeking ETFs?:
Dividend-seeking Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) gained tremendous popularity after the 2003 federal legislation had slashed the income tax rate to 15% on dividends paid out by corporations. These ETFs were thought to be some kind of dream investment products that invested in solid companies paying dividends and at the same time provided some sort of diversity. Unfortunately, most of them were - http://mydollar.blogspot.com

Wiping out Emergency Savings to Pay off Debt:
In the personal finance blogging world, when you bring up the question of whether your primary focus should be on building an emergency fund or paying off your debt first, you will likely get a very strong passionate response supporting one or the other. Those belonging to the emergency fund first camp argue that without an emergency fund, it is easy to slip into the murky world of more debt when unexpected circumstances strike. On the other hand, those belonging to the pay debt first camp argue - http://gradmoneymatters.com/

Goldman Sachs Stock Chart:
Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (GS) is one of the only banks with little exposure to the sub prime lending mess, but it has also been brought downward by the general decline in the financial industry.

Coming Out Of Early Retirement:
Speaking from first -hand experience, retirement is boring without a sense of purpose. A friend once told me that she was urging her lazing folks to take an exotic vacation on the belief that inertia rushes your natural time clock. I can attest to that; one week into the new job, I’ve found my fountain of youth already.

I couldn’t resist and picked up some GE shares yesterday, I just couldn’t resist. Here’e what made me pull the trigger: Ok, GE missed their earnings estimate last quarter due to a down quarter for financials. So did everyone else. GE still is one of 5(?) companies with the AAA credit rating. They aren’t going anywhere. They have  150 Billion dollars in gross revenue a year. To increase that by 10% they need to grow the company by roughly the same size as Iceland’s - http://www.grumpstump.com
