  • Investment Retrospective: A Preemptive Portfolio Protection Strategy
    By: Steve Selengut | - A participant in the morning Working Capital Model (WCM) investment workshop observed: I've noticed that my account balances are returning to their (June 2007) levels. People are talking down the economy and the dollar. Is there any preemptive action I need to take?

    An afternoon workshop attendee spoke of a similar predicament, but cautioned that (with new high market value levels approaching) a repeat of the June 2007 through early March 2009 correction must be avoided--- a portf ...

  • This Stock Market Correction Is Dead
    By: Steve Selengut | - Actually, hindsight and the Investment Grade Value Stock Index (IGVSI) Bargain Level Monitor tell us that it died early in March 2009. More realistically, however, corrections don't die quite so abruptly. They are supplanted by rallies--- and vice versa.

    The IGVSI Bargain Stock Monitor tracks the price movements of an elite group of New York Stock Exchange equities. Their "eliteness" is earned by a B+ or higher S & P rating, a history of profitability, and the fact that they pay d ...

  • Investment Performance Expectations And Broker Account Statements
    By: Steve Selengut | - As impossible as it is to predict the future of the markets, it's relatively easy to anticipate what you are going to experience when you view your next brokerage account statement.

    Whether you go the discount route through Schwab, Ameritrade, Fidelity, etc., or enjoy a higher level of service through an independent like LMK Wealth Management, you should never be surprised by the market values reflected on your monthly statement.

    None of the firms make it easy for y ...

  • Golf And Investing: Optimism, Focus, And Education
    By: Steve Selengut | - You knew it the moment it left the club, that spark at contact when you catch it just right. You look up. It's just reaching the top of its climb--- and heading down right at the pin, a pin positioned left of center on the elevated green, much too close to the water.

    This could be the one! Four mouths hang open, not a sound. Then whack, the ball strikes low on the stick and disappears; the pin wobbles; the ball is nowhere to be seen---

This article is intended to help others who have no idea what a 1031 exchange is, but would like to know. I will do my best to write this in a clear, easy to understand manner.

    Before you can understand how a 1031 exchange works, you should first understand why they exist. They exist so that people can avoid losing money in form of capital gains tax when they sell one prop ...

  • Investment Grade Value Stock Index (igvsi) Soars 24% Thru July 2009
    By: Steve Selengut | - The Investment Grade Value Stock Index is a barometer of a small but elite sector of the stock market. Some Investment Grade Value Stocks are included in all averages and indices, but even the Dow Jones Industrial Average includes several issues that are below Investment Grade and very few boast an A+ S & P rating.

    The IGVSI tracks a portfolio of approximately 400 stocks--- and less than half of them are likely to be found in the S & P 500 average. This new market index was deve ...

  • Investment Performance Evaluation Re-evaluated: Part One
    By: Steve Selengut | - It matters not what lines, numbers, indices, or gurus you worship, you just can't know for certain where the stock market is going or when it will change direction. Too much investor time and analytical effort is wasted trying to predict course corrections--- even more is squandered comparing portfolio market values with a handful of unrelated indices and averages.

    Annually, quarterly, even monthly, investors scrutinize their performance, formulate coulda's and shoulda's, and det ...

  • Investment Performance Evaluation Re-evaluated: Part Two
    By: Steve Selengut | - The Working Capital Model (WCM) looks at investment performance differently, less emotionally, and without a whole lot of concern for short-term market value movements. Market value performance evaluation techniques are only used to analyze peak-to-peak market cycle movements over significant time periods.

    Security market values are used for buy and sell decision-making. Working capital figures are used for asset allocation and diversification decision-making. Portfolio working ca ...

  • Stock Market Corrections Are Beautiful - And Necessary
    By: Steve Selengut | - Every correction is the same, a normal downturn in one or more of the markets where we invest. There has never been a correction that has not proven to be an investment opportunity. You can be confident that governments around the world are not going to allow another Great Depression "on their watch".

    Every correction is different, the result of various economic and/or political circumstances that create the need for adjustments in the financial markets.

  • Post Harvest Management.
    By: RajivSingh | - This dries out the neck and the two or three outer layers of the bulb. The outermost layer, which may be contaminated with soil, usually falls away easily when the bulbs are cured, exposing the dry under-layer, which should have an attractive appearance.

    Onions are considered cured when neck is tight and the outerscales are dried until they rustle. This condition is reached when onions have lost 3 to 5% of their weight. If onions cannot be dried in the field, they can be collecte ...

  • Investment Performance Expectations: Wcm Fine Tuning
    By: Steve Selengut | - Contrary to popular belief and Wall Street propaganda, investing is not a competitive event. Rather, it is a uniquely personal, goal-directed activity that individuals must organize and control for themselves. Too few appreciate that it is a long-term enterprise and only a handful, at best, have discovered that DJIA and S & P 500 numbers are only useful at their extremes.

    You need to be buying when the doom and gloom is thick enough to cut with a knife, and selling at reasonable ...

  • In Value Stock Investing, Quality Is Job One

  • Wcm-investing Rules Of Engagement-the Qdi
    By: Steve Selengut | - Crash! The 2007 thru 2008 financial crisis halved 401(k), IRA, and Mutual Fund values in a matter of months. For many, retirement dates had to be pushed back; for others, new jobs had to be found. The tragic flaw? No income allocation in the investment program. Market value builds egos; income pays the bills.

    Few employers cautioned Savings Plan participants that 401(k)s are just not defined benefit programs. Few mutual fund distributors suggested to benefit departments that their ...

  • Value Stock Investing - The November Syndrome On Drugs
    By: Steve Selengut | - Every fall, especially in opportunity rich markets like this, I encourage investors to think about some year-end strategies that make the final calendar quarter a special time in all markets. Several forces are at work, all of which have links to conventional Wall Street wisdom; none of which promote good long-term investment decision-making.

    This year, we have the added excitement of anticipating a new, perhaps economically too liberal, administration taking over with an already ...

  • Value Stock Market Crash Report
    By: Steve Selengut | - There has never been a correction that has not proven to be an investment opportunity. While everything is down in price, there is actually less to worry about than when prices are historically high. More money has been lost by people who bought into last year's markets than by those who will buy into this one, at this stage of the correction. When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping.

  • Why Invest In Gold And The Many Ways To Invest In Gold
    By: CoinsBullions | - The price of gold itself is up over 50% from its lows in 1999. Graded gold coins are up 70% in the last three years. Futures and options on gold have soared. Who knows how many thousands of percent you'd have made by investing in gold?

    There are many major factors that make gold a great investment right now. Gold coin sale is still cheap, while stocks are expensive. In January of 1980, both the Dow Industrials and the price of gold were at the same level: 800. Now, nearly 24 years la ...

  • Harvest Management
    By: Rajiv singh | - Curing

    The only post-harvest treatment required for the long storage of bulb onions is a thorough curing of the bulbs. Curing is a drying process intended to dry off the necks and outer scale leaves of the bulbs to prevent the loss of moisture and the attack by decay during storage. The essentials for curing are heat and good ventilation, preferably with low humidity. This dries out the neck and the two or three outer layers of the bulb. The outermost layer, which may be contamina ...

  • Dont Let Your Investments Control You
    By: Bill Byrnes | - Which of your investments worried you most during the recent market correction? If it was one of your smaller holdings, you're not alone.

    We all have only so much time and so many brain cells to devote to investing. If you're focusing yours on a tiny portion of your investments, the majority of your net worth is going unwatched.

    Many investors I speak with are focused on only one or two of their investments or, worse, are fixated on the one they sold which has ...

  • The 10 Rules For Successful Tax-free Income Investing
    By: Ulli G.Niemann | - Do you sometimes question the performance of your investment portfolio? If you are like most investors you have your income producing assets thrown in together with your equity portfolio. You look at the total mix of dividend paying stocks, bonds, mutual funds and equities, and you're confused as to why they're not producing enough income or growing your portfolio value sufficiently.

    I have found that part of the reason is the nearly universal propensity of investors to ...

  • Speculate For Growth, Not For Income
    By: Bill Byrnes | - There's an old adage in the brokerage community that you should speculate for growth, not for income. Speculation isn't the right word, but the broker who coined it (pun intended) probably wasn't an English major (most brokers aren't).

    The point is that you should take risk with investments which you expect to increase in value, i.e., stocks, but not with investments made to generate current income, i.e., fixed income securities. This is an essential maxim if you are dependent ...

  • Too Much Income Can Be Hazardous To Your Financial Health
    By: Bill Byrnes | - Bonds have higher yields then stocks. Bond funds have higher yields then stock funds. This means more current income for you. Bonds and bond funds are safer then stocks and stock funds, according to conventional wisdom. Bonds fluctuate less in value. That's good, too. So what's wrong with this picture? The interest paid on bonds doesn't grow (they're called fixed income securities for a reason), nor does their principal value. As a matter of fact, the real value of their principal declin ...

  • Do You Know When To Buy And Sell? Use The Sine Wave Model
    By: David Van Knapp | - Probably the hardest decision for most stock investors is knowing when to buy or sell a stock. Some investors buy and sell very actively. Others buy stocks on a regular schedule, but don't know when, if ever, to sell. Some investors believe the answer is to "never" sell, buying and holding essentially forever. There is a whole spectrum of philosophies and approaches.

    What makes the most sense? Is there even a single right answer?

  • Betting On Horse Racing : Sensible Money Management (part 5)

  • Buy Gold Coins As Bullion Gold Coins Gain Favor
    By: Richard Goldstein | - In today's world of global uncertainty, one thing remains certain: gold coins. Gold bullion coins continue to outperform traditional vehicles the same way gold coins and bars outperformed everything under the sun during the 1970's. By holding gold coins in one's portfolio, you dramatically reduce the overall risk of your portfolio. Just by having some gold coins as part of your strategy, you also allow the price of gold, as it increases, to bring up the value of your portfolio.

  • Inside A Company's News Release
    By: James E. Finch | - Most investors read a company's news releases, but don't read between the lines to understand in which direction the company is heading. Too often, a company tries to say everything in the headline and the first paragraph. Why? Because they know, as we do, that most investors scan the headline, a few sentences and perhaps look at some drill intercepts or key technical data (which few really understand). Then, the investor looks at how the share price reacts to the news, rejoicing or complaining ...

    By: Geoff Gannon | - Most peoples beliefs about investing are very tenuous. There are, of course, people who are very passionate about investing. They dont view investing as some esoteric subject, but rather as a field intimately connected to the human behavior they observe in their everyday lives.

    For everyone else, however, beliefs about investing come in the form of passive knowledge. The tendency is simply to accumulate an inventory of conventional dictums. Investing beliefs are formed much ...
