Morgan is out with a fantastic investing piece titled ‘The Unsolvable Puzzle‘. This part really captures what gets me so excited about do-it-yourself investing: Think about the investment factors that have changed in just the last 20 years.

Michael Batnick has this great investing post up called the ‘Satisfaction Yield‘. It would take twenty-five years before the Dow reclaimed its 1929 peak. Over that time the United States had four different Presidents and we built the Hoover Dam, the Empire State Building and the Golden Gate Bridge. The Hindenburg exploded, the F.B.I was …

This morning I sold down my gold and silver $dgp $gld and $slw to NO POISTION. That’s pretty much the first time I have had no metals in 5-6 years. I sense I will own them again by November higher or lower. The last 5-7 days I have been trickling out some stocks like $rovi, …
