Daily picks, 03/11: Slim pickin's
I'll apologize for my brevity up front. We're having a family emergency and I need to deal with with it. One long and one short for today. The long is AEO.
Daily picks, 03/10: Market toppy, but one pick comes through
With the market smack up against resistance, it's kind of in limbo right now, deciding to sink or swim (upstream!) Given that, we've entered into yet another period where "doing very little" is the correct...
Daily picks, 03/09: Dull market, but 3 longs!
For many years I had an investing philosophy that you couldn't go wrong by buying a) a monopoly producer (or at least close to one), that b) offered a product or service people either wanted or needed. ...

The siren call of the rally.
Are you loving the current rally? I mean up roughly 3% last week. Counting from the open, not a down day in sight. Volume stinks, but who cares about volume when the direction is STRAIGHT UP! But...
Winter Blahs
With all the focus lately on the weather -- and here in DC, the record snow -- it seems everyone has taken their eye off the market. Probably a good thing, as there's really not much happening. We...
Speical Snopocalypse edition
Just burrowing out of the Worst Snowstorm Ever, so consider this a limited -- but Special! -- edition. Basically the market threw everyone a curveball on Friday, threatening to get really, really ugly...and...
