A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst.... a spark that creates extraordinary results. http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/47 http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/47 Thu, 24 Dec 2009 08:33:56 PST Entrepeneurs Mind Set You’re an Entrepreneur?

We expect more from them because they are in the limelight. Whether we like it or not, they are role models and their rude and obnoxious behavior says to many that it is ok to behave this way. http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/5626 http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/5626 Fri, 08 Jan 2010 06:16:52 PST The Ten-Workshop Road to Better Investment Performance --- Yeah, They're FREE! Most investors jump into their investment programs without a clear understanding of the process, the securities, or the risks involved in the effort. Few hold valid expectations, and most choose to ignore the cyclical nature of the investment marketplace. This poor preparation is an endemic problem of our society, made profitable by Wall Street, for Wall Street. http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/5630 http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/5630 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 09:36:42 PST Investment Performance Analysis Using the Working Capital Asset Allocation Model - Part 1 It matters not what lines, numbers, indices, or gurus you worship, you just can't know 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. http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/5648 http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/5648 Sun, 28 Mar 2010 05:54:01 PST Investment Performance Analysis Using the Working Capital Asset Allocation Model - Part 2 This method of looking at things will get you where you want to be without the hype that Wall Street uses to create unproductive transactions, foolish speculations, and incurable dissatisfaction. It provides a valid use for portfolio Market Value, but far from the judgmental nature Wall Street would like. It's use in this model, as both an expectation clarifier and an action indicator for the portfolio manager on a personal level, should illuminate your light bulb. http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/5649 http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/5649 Sun, 28 Mar 2010 06:02:05 PST Managing the Income Portfolio - Part 2 Take a reasonable profit (using 10% as a target) as frequently as possible. With a 40% Income Allocation, 40% of profits and dividends would be allocated to Income Securities. http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/5654 http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/5654 Wed, 28 Oct 2009 02:25:24 PST
