Apple – starting to rot? RIM and Motorola been there!

When to rotate into cyclicals? NOW!
I’ve been preaching for decades (and discussed in both my books ad nauseum) that the right thing to be doing at any point in time is the exact opposite of what everyone else is doing. If it’s a difficult thing to … Continue reading

Want to be a money manager? Become a celebrity!

Your Advisor Knows Best
“When it comes to communicating with or passing judgement on your advisor’s contribution to your investment program, it’s best to avoid trying to determine whether it was you or the advisor who screwed up. Neither of you are to blame, … Continue reading
