Earnings season has begun with very positive results shown thus far from the big banks, albeit a small sample size.  I’ll be posting a lot of commentary on the market and specific investments as these results continue to come in.  While there is tremendous uncertainty in so many areas, it is important not to let...

Equity markets, bond markets, and REITs are all seeing a September swoon, as higher rates are leading to selloffs.  We saw something similar occur last year, only to have the 4th quarter be quite strong for the equity markets, so we’ll see how things turn out.  Earnings season starts once again in about 2-3 weeks,...

I’d like to direct your attention to the two images at the top, which were brought to my attention by a friend of mine in the industry, Tobias Carlisle.  The first chart shows the compound returns of the highest 10% price to cash flow stocks (glamour) and the lowest 10% price to cash flow stocks...

Today I was reading an interesting article in the WSJ describing the increased risk-taking that many retirees and near-retirees are taking with their investment portfolios.     For instance, “nearly half of Vanguard 401(k) investors actively managing their money and over age 55 held more than 70% of their portfolios in stocks.  In 2011, 38% did so.  At...

The YTD rally in the S&P 500 has been dominantly comprised from the performance on the top 8 stocks, all of which performed poorly last year.  This is by far the narrowest rally since the Tech Bubble, which ultimately culminated in an 80% drop in the Nasdaq.  These stocks are so big and comprise such...
