The (Investment) World Is Changing And You Need To Get On Board
Fast Company posted an article that looked at existing jobs that are likely to change dramatically or disappear altogether over the next ten years. Change happens of course often spurred along by technology and/or innovation. Capital markets are no different. Certain jobs don’t exist anymore or there are fewer of them (like exchange personnel) and new products […]

Fearless Thursday – Fiddling While Rome Burns
TM editors’ note: This article discusses a penny stock and/or microcap. Such stocks are easily manipulated; do your own careful due diligence. This is just getting silly!

Apple Is Not Worth $240 A Share
Carl Icahn is at it again. The activist shareholder has been pestering Apple (AAPL) management for years to increase its buyback program, stating that its shares are worth more than double what they are right now. Last October, Icahn wrote an open letter to CEO Tim Cook with a valuation showing that Apple stock is […]
The Truth Behind Many Of Wall Street’s “Winners”
I have a confession to make. I like betting against companies. I enjoy it! There’s nothing more thrilling to me professionally than catching a company’s management team with their hand in the cookie jar and watching the stock price implode when their shenanigans are exposed. But, just because I’m a short seller doesn’t mean I’m a “permabear.” […]

Gold Finds Support But Lacks Momentum
