Why Buy and Hold?


Since I can remember, and that's a long time ago, the Wall Street brokerage companies, mavens and mutual fund managers have been exhorting the mantra of Buy and Hold for all your investments. There have been erudite studies published that this is the only way to go.

Whitewater Stock Market

People are always asking me when should I sell my stock or mutual funds?There are some relatively easy answers to this.

Wall Street Paradigm


In 1960 an engineer working for a watch company in Switzerland discovered that a small crystal would vibrate at a constant rate.

Time Out


Are you paying any attention to your retirement savings? Do you have it in cash or an account with a broker? Maybe you have a professional manager who is investing your money as you add to it every month.Is your account increasing in value every year? If it isn't why are you letting anyone else invest for you? There is no point having a loser in charge of your money.

The press continues to blame China and India for stealing away all these forms of employment, but they don't have it right.
