People have often asked me how I always pick stocks that end up with 20% gains in a couple of months or triple-digit gains in a year. They ask me is it luck? Maybe with a couple of stocks it may have been luck, but luck doesn’t play a role in buying ten or more [...]

February 7, 2007 – Let’s take BHP Billiton, the world’s largest, diversified mining company, to illustrate the point of this blog entry.

November 2, 2006 – I was thinking today that if only people were rational, then investing would be much easier. Maybe there truly is something to chaos theory, because everywhere you look people seem to act irrationally much more often than they act rationally. Case in point.

October 24, 2006 – Some people have asked me, the Dow just keeps going higher and higher, people seem not to have a worry in the world about the U.S. markets, the VIX levels are extremely low, expert analysts are predicting 16,000 marks for the Dow and $20 a barrel oil, so why are you [...]

October 10, 2006 – On September 13th, I wrote this entry “Gold has increased volatility these days because of all the morons that run hedge funds that pump and dump commodities such as gold.
