( Category: Government | Word Count: 1103 | Views: 5 | Rating: -1 )
As Investors, we represent the single biggest voter block in the country. We must respond in one voice to the endless political drivel with a resounding "Money Talks, BS Walks".

3: How Do You Spell Correction?

( Category: Stock Market Investing | Word Count: 927 | Views: 2 | Rating: -1 )
The problems, and the solutions, boil down to focus, understanding, and retraining. But for now, relax and enjoy this correction. It's your invitation to the fun and games of the next rally, when you will see that correction is spelled o-p-p-o-r-t-u-n-i-t-y.

4: Investors Only - Welcome to the BIG Buy Low

( Category: Stock Market Investing | Word Count: 1227 | Views: 4 | Rating: -1 )
The reality of corrections is one of the few certainties of the financial world, a reality that separates the men from the boys, if you will. If you fixate on your portfolio Market Value during a correction, you will just give yourself a headache, or worse.

5: Investors For The Fair Tax Unite

( Category: Conservative | Word Count: 1111 | Views: 5 | Rating: -1 )
A Government that bemoans the population's low savings and investment rates has only itself to blame, and Wall Street Institutions are happy to exacerbate the problem with their own financial pandemic of products, strategies, and tax deferral and avoidance schemes.

6: The Corporate Income Tax - Investor Enemy Number Two

( Category: Conservative | Word Count: 1044 | Views: 5 | Rating: -1 )
Politicians have never been shy about dictating proper behavior to individuals or hesitant in shamelessly picking the pockets of businesses to fund their projects--- but just as Congress picks corporate pockets, corporations pick those of their shareholders.

7: Solving Social Security is No Big Deal

( Category: Government | Word Count: 1063 | Views: 3 | Rating: -1 )
As an investor, I've always wondered why Social Security is such a problem. What's so difficult about managing this particular Trust Fund, and why is it so different from other investment accounts that pay out a constant stream of income? The private sector does it routinely with defined benefit pension plans and fixed annuities, so what's the big deal?

8: Income Investing - Why Isn't This Easy?

( Category: Investing | Word Count: 894 | Views: 1 | Rating: -1 )
But more devastating than everything that has been done to turn Equity Investing into a product shopping mall of some kind, is the bottom-line/market- value brainwashing that has taken the calm, secure, and smiley-faced world of Income Investing and turned it upside down.

9: Investment Performance Analysis Using the Working Capital Asset Allocation Model

( Category: Investing | Word Count: 1736 | Views: 3 | Rating: -1 )
Every December, with visions of sugarplums dancing in their heads, investors begin to scrutinize their performance, formulate couldas and shouldas, and determine what to try next year. It's an annual, masochistic, right of passage. My year-end vision is different.

10: Calculating Your Investment IQ

( Category: Investing | Word Count: 957 | Views: 2 | Rating: -1 )
Just how much do you know about investing, or perhaps a better question: is there any "know" in the investment vocabulary? So many terms, ideas, and strategies; so little time and money! Here's a list of thirty mostly-true or mostly-false comments for you to kick around with your friends and fellow investment bloggers:

11: Asset Allocation: Investing by the Numbers

( Category: Stock Market Investing | Word Count: 848 | Views: 2 | Rating: -1 )
Asset Allocation is a planning tool that allows the investor to structure his or her investment portfolios in a manner most likely to accomplish the goals established for each investment portfolio and for the investment program as a whole. It is the process of planning how the portfolio is to be divided between the two broad classes of investment securities: Equities and Income.

12: Stock and Bond Trading Powers Modern Asset Allocation

( Category: Stock Market Investing | Word Count: 941 | Views: 0 | Rating: -1 )
Trading is the world's oldest form of commercial activity, and it is unfortunate that it is treated with such disrespect by our dysfunctional tax code. It is even more unfortunate that it is looked at askance by client attorneys and brokerage firm compliance officers.

13: Just Another Credit Crunch?

( Category: Investing | Word Count: 1194 | Views: 1 | Rating: -1 )
Many investors are beginning to think that income investing is every bit as risky as equity investing, but nothing has really changed in the relationship between these two basic building blocks of corporate finance. What has changed in recent years is the nature of the derivative products created by the wizards of Wall Street to deliver both forms of securities to investors.

14: Investor Political Priorities - A Survey

( Category: Government | Word Count: 1278 | Views: 4 | Rating: -1 )
90% of all Americans are investors and, as such, there are issues that we need to hear about from the man who would be king. None of our could-be leaders are addressing the issues that would allow us to achieve our financial goals.

15: Investment Performance - Better Than You Think

( Category: Investing | Word Count: 1114 | Views: 0 | Rating: -1 )
The Working Capital Model (WCM) approach to portfolio performance evaluation eliminates the tears and fears because it is based on more than the current market value illusion of wealth--- a number that won't sit still long enough to ever be meaningful. Market value, within the WCM, is used only to determine what to buy and/or when to take profits

16: Asset Allocation for Foundation and Endowment Investment Portfolios

( Category: Stock Market Investing | Word Count: 1200 | Views: 0 | Rating: -1 )
One can only speculate about how much "bubble paper" finds its way into the these portfolios, but nearly all of them are managed by the major brokerage firms, and all such firms bonus their brokers on the basis of product sales. It is not uncommon for Wall Street to re-write the syllabus for Investments 101, redefining quality, diversification, and income to suit its own dark purposes.

17: The Rally Is Coming! The Rally Is Coming!

( Category: Stock Market Investing | Word Count: 1187 | Views: 0 | Rating: -1 )
The market has never and will never be a one way ticket to ride (smile Beatles fans). None of the important aspects of the voyage (advances, declines, speed, beginning, or end) are predictable, by anyone, no matter how overpaid or well credentialed. Sooner or later, some gutsy financial gurus will declare the stock market oversold and full of bargains.

18: The Real Scoop on Annuities - Part One

( Category: Personal Finance | Word Count: 1327 | Views: 0 | Rating: -1 )
Today, it's difficult to distinguish one financial institution from another as they compete for the ever-growing pool of investment dollars. Insurance companies, now publicly owned, have become am integral part of an industry that seems uninterested in protecting anything other than their obscenely paid leaders.

19: Investment Politics: Jobs, The Economy, and Social Security

( Category: Government | Word Count: 1076 | Views: 18 | Rating: -1 )
Social Security benefits are grossly inadequate yet we continue to tax all forms of retirement benefits. Politicians ignore the simple solutions to these problems and no one seems to care about Social Security reform. It's just too big an issue to be so shockingly ignored, but the last politician with any courage--- well, I can't remember who that was either.

20: Predicting Stock Market Movements

( Category: Investing | Word Count: 1043 | Views: 0 | Rating: -1 )
Wall Street spins reality in whatever manner it can to make most investors unhappy, thus increasing new product sales. Your confusion, fear, greed, impatience, and need for a quick panacea fuels their profit engines, not yours. Learn how to deal unemotionally with Wall Street events and shun the herd mentality.

21: Your 401(k) Investments And The IGVSI

( Category: Financial Planning | Word Count: 908 | Views: 0 | Rating: -1 )
Risk minimization begins with quality, is enhanced through diversification, and is compounded with realized income. The first two steps require research, greed control, and discipline. The income part just requires discipline, so it should be much easier to manage.

22: Compound Stock Earnings Programs - Caveat Investor

( Category: Stock Market Investing | Word Count: 928 | Views: 1 | Rating: -1 )
Options are bets about the future price movement of exchange-traded securities--- it's just that simple. The prospect of unusually high returns always signals unusually high risk. Caveat emptor, in spades. Here are some things to consider before you think about attending that free seminar:
