1.	Bookmarks: 6	How Do You Spell Correction? (From August of 2007) Repetition is good for the brain's CPU, so forgive me for reinforcing what I've said in the face of every correction since 1979... if you don't love corrections, you really don't understand the financial markets. Don't be insulted, it seems as though very few financial professionals want you to see it this way and, in fact, Institutional Wall Street loves it when individual investors panic in the face of uncertainty.
2.	Bookmarks: 0	Predicting Stock Market Movements The risk of loss cannot be eliminated. A simple change in a security's market value is not a loss of principal just as certainly as a change in the market value of your home is not evidence of termite damage. Markets are complicated; emotions about one's assets are even more so. Wall Street spins reality in whatever manner it can to make most investors unhappy, thus increasing new product sales.
3.	Bookmarks: 0	Stock Market Rallies, All Time Highs, Action Plans, Etc. There is no need for rocket science in investing --- no correlations, standard deviations, coefficients, Alphas, or Betas are required. There is no reason for anyone to have had zero growth in market values over the past dozen years. Wall Street wants you to accept mass produced mediocrity...
4.	Bookmarks: 1	Market Cycle Investment Management With Ten Time Tested Risk Minimizers That seemingly rational form of attempted market timing reduces the amount of income available for reinvestment and living expenses, in an approach that creates victims of higher interest rates instead of beneficiaries. You need to welcome both higher and lower interest rates, if for no other reason than that you can't prevent them.
5.	Bookmarks: 1	A Dismal Decade? No Way With Market Cycle Investing Once again The Wizards will attempt to debug the market cycle and create an upward only future for the masses. Try not to be abused again--- the markets aren't broken, just the market shakers. Your portfolio should be up in market value--- and not by just a little for the dismal decade.
6.	Bookmarks: 2	Investment Performance Expectations: WCM Fine Tuning (February 2009) How can I get you to stop fixating on monthly market values and to focus on the purpose of the securities within the portfolio? Most of us are trained to deal with seasons, fashion trends, biological changes, waning sports dynasties, sunspots, etc. Instinctively, we expect, and prepare for change effectively--- but not when it comes to investing, where planning and preparation is only talked about.
7.	Bookmarks: 2	Minimizing Financial Risk in a Changing Investment Environment Risk minimization requires the identification of what's inside a portfolio. Risk control requires decision-making by the owner of the investment assets. Risk management requires a selection process from a universe of securities that meet a known set of qualitative standards.
8.	Bookmarks: 2	Old Fashioned Equity Investing - Building A Better Mousetrap Since the level it achieved just prior to the bursting dot-com bubble in 2000, the S & P 500 Average (on October 15th 2010) had lost 17% of its market value. In the same time frame, portfolios managed start-to-finish using the Market Cycle Investment Management methodology have gained roughly 113%, in spite of the impact of the recent financial crisis.
9.	Bookmarks: 7	Understanding Fixed Income Investing: Expectations - Part 2 More recently, the combination of higher rates and a weaker Stock Market has been a Double Whammy for portfolio Market Values, and a double bonanza for investment opportunities. Just like at the Mall, lower securities prices are a good thing for buyers... and higher prices are a good thing for sellers. You need to act on these things with each cyclical change.
10.	Bookmarks: 7	Understanding Fixed Income Investing: Expectations - Part 1 I've come to the conclusion that the Stock Market is an easier medium for investors to understand (i.e., to form behavioral expectations about) than the Fixed Income Market. As unlikely as this sounds, experience proves it, irrefutably. Few investors grow to love volatility as I do, but most expect it in the Market Value of their equity positions.

12.	Bookmarks: 0	Understanding Income Investing – Valid Expectations - Part Two The critical relationship between the two classes of securities in your portfolio, is this: the market value of your equity investments and that of your income purpose investments are totally, and completely unrelated. Each Market dances to it's own beat. Stocks are like heavy metal or Rap...impossible to predict. Bonds are more like the classics and old time rock-and-roll...much more predictable.
13.	Bookmarks: 6	Income Investing: Go Ask Alice Don't let uniformed thinking sabotage your retirement program; don't let the selfish advice of a product sharpshooter send you chasing rabbits when IRE (interest rate expectations) or other temporary market conditions shrink the market value of your income portfolio. Feed your head; feed---your---head. Income pays the bills, and if the income level is both steady and adequate, there is no need to change investments.
14.	Bookmarks: 0	Income Investing: Selecting the Right Stuff - Part One When is 3 percent better than 6 percent? Yeah, we all know the answer, but only until the prices of the securities we already own begin to fall. Then, logic and mathematical acumen disappear and we become susceptible to all kinds of special cures for the periodic onset of higher interest rates. We’ll be told to sit in cash until rates stop rising, or to sell the securities we own now, before they lose even more of their precious market value.

If you own a home or have the credit to open revolving credit card accounts, your small business financing could be a reality. A more traditional approach is the home equity loan.

21.	Bookmarks: 2	The Ultimate Investment Portfolio Hedging Strategy Once upon a time (long before Quants, Swaps, and million dollar bonuses) investors knew that they could not know what the market will do--- in direction, duration, range, or vacillation. They recognized that neither humans nor human created machines could predict the future with any degree of accuracy. So they learned how to deal with uncertainty.

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.
23.	Bookmarks: 0	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.

Lenders aren't chartered to own and manage property, so they face close scrutiny and pressure from state and federal regulators to dispose of foreclosed properties quickly - especially if they're on a regulator's list.

28.	Bookmarks: 0	Investment Performance and The Working Capital Model (March, 2008) The Working Capital Model (WCM) approach to portfolio performance evaluation eliminates the tears and fears because it is based on more than the current market value illusion of wealth--- a number that won't sit still long enough to ever be meaningful. Market value, within the WCM, is used only to determine what to buy and/or when to take profits.

33.	Bookmarks: 1	WCM Investing - The Process (December 2008) Most people enter the investment process tip first. They hear something, grab an idea from a popular blog, accept a Cramerism or some motley foolishness, and think that they are making investment decisions. Rarely, will the right-now, instant-gratification, Internet-generation speculator think in terms that go beyond tomorrow's breaking news.
34.	Bookmarks: 0	WCM-Investing Rules Of Engagement-The QDI (December 2008) 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.
35.	Bookmarks: 0	The Investment Gods Are Angry (January 2009) Today's obsession with short-term blinks of the investment eye is Wall Street's attempt to take the market cycle out of the performance picture. Similarly, total return hocus-pocus places artificial significance on bond market values while it obscures the importance of the income produced. WCM users will have none of it; the investment gods are angry.
36.	Bookmarks: 0	Crisis Investing - Three-Pronged WCM Strategy (January 2009) Unfortunately, investors in general are a lot like teenagers.
