Review
"This book is like Mal - who is a rider, a rocker and a rebel. He doesn't just think outside the box - he drags it behind his Harley on a cross-continent adventure and then runs over it a few times for good measure. The Bay and Wall Street guys are gonna hate it - Main Streeters should embrace it. One ton of fun!" BJ Del Conte Chase Producer, BNN - Business News Network Business Producer/Anchor - CP24-

China will be the next big surprise!
China was all the rage for a short while, but despite chugging along at a premium growth rate to the rest of the world, investors have pretty much focussed on other markets – the U.S. of course but Japan as well of … Continue reading

The BIG Bernanke: Bond risk for the duration!
The infatuation of investors, retail and institutional alike with bonds has become ridiculous – more lust than love. The perception that there remains less risk in fixed income cannot be further from reality – especially because of the post-crisis distortions … Continue reading

Where to shove your Risk Budget!
I was watching business television and an articulate gentleman, the top dog for a rather large retirement fund, was the guest. Perhaps I’ve been living too long in a cocoon, but while discussing the current investment strategy of this large … Continue reading

Apple – starting to rot? RIM and Motorola been there!
Disappointing results from Apple this past quarter just may be an early sign of more rot to come . Being more experienced as a portfolio manager has its advantages…if only because of the benefits of hindsight. Sexy products have a lifecycle that … Continue reading

Goldman Sachs advice scares the beejeebies out of me!
“We think it’s time to say a ‘long good-bye’ to bonds, and embrace the ‘long good buy’ for equities” announces Goldman Sachs! This sort of pronouncement has the ability to turn someone who’s been a diehard bull since 2010 into … Continue reading

Research in Motion TOP PICK? Is the guy whacko?
Who in their right mind would suggest Research in Motion as their TOP PICK for 2012? There’s no shortage of controversy to be sure surrounding the company. Yesterday I sat with good friends, man and wife, and SHE (Rayla) thought … Continue reading

Time to Buy? Stocks, Commodities & Television.

Can it get any worse? Does it matter for stocks and bonds?
I neglected to include a chart in my last post I wanted to highlight. As mentioned before (read last posting by scrolling down) Japan added some downside leverage to a correction that was due anyway (discussed in my rants of … Continue reading
