    • Young Jeezy's 'The Recession': I Think We’ve Bottomed Out [view article]
      Sharksm and others must realize that if they have been investing for 40 years that their "cycle" encapsulated some of the greatest market gains in history. No World Wars, unprecedented technological innovation and greater access to the markets generated a huge tailwind for you. Those tailwinds do not exist anymore. How much better than the SPX did you do over that time? My guess not much - regardless, bless you for being in their when my parents were buying penny stocks.

      Buy and hold aways works if you have the right stocks or the right market - the next twenty years will not give us the same opportunity you had. Read Shillers "Irrational Exuberance" first edition for more on those tailwinds.

    • Manitowoc: Building Opportunity on Other People's Doubts [view article]
      This is hardly a departure from current business plan. Manitowac already has 11% of their revenue (per S&P) from their foodservice division, Enodis should only enhance that away from current beverage dispensers and fridges. Apr 24 09:12 AM

    • Possible Improbables [view article]
      That national database of investment advisors would not make this list it is so low probability (no matter how good an idea it is). E.G., i build custom portfolios for each client, so I have no standardized performance numbers to report. Jan 02 11:48 AM
