Financial Thought of the Day April 22, 2015: Greed Interferes With Rational Thinking
My friend and fellow Seeking Alpha writer Michael Hooper cited
a compelling quote from Charles Mackay, a 19th century author
who wrote “Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds”:
"During the progress of
this famous bubble (The South Sea Bubble), England presented a singular
spectacle. The public mind was in a state of unwholesome fermentation. Men were
no longer satisfied with the slow but sure profits of cautious industry. The
hope of boundless wealth for the morrow made them heedless and extravagant for
today."
Don’t let greed interfere
with rational thinking. Invest in companies that demonstrate prudence in its
financial affairs and avoid speculative investments.

research is like buying a house without looking around inside or checking for
liens.

Investing in publicly traded business without doing research

Financial Thought of the Day April 17, 2015: The Stock Market Is A Tool
The way I see it the stock market is a tool where long-term
publicly traded business owners can buy shares of great companies. It is also a
way to sell shares decades down the road to fund retirement, start a business
of your own or to exit businesses that fell into subpar status.

Financial Thought of the Day April 15, 2015: Remember to Diversify
Remember when investing in the stock market diversification
is key. One stock can more than make up for the losses of the other. It’s also
important to keep cash for emergencies and investment opportunities (once the
emergency fund is in place).

Financial Thought of the Day April 14, 2015: Not All Dollars Have the Same Purpose
Not all dollars have the same purpose. Some dollars go to
bills. Some of them go to retirement. Some dollars go to recreation.

Financial Thought of the Day April 13, 2015: Thinking Like a Business Owner
A good way to get started on a path to successful stock
market investing is to think of stocks as publicly traded businesses. Investing
in companies that sell needed or highly wanted products, sells a unique product
and sits behind a wide proverbial moat will do better than a company with many
competitors and sells products with trend driven demand.
