Good Morning:
Two Worthwhile Reads
Over the past few weeks I have added about 30 more 'articles sources' to the 100
I was reviewing in November. Each day I now review the headlines of well over
1,000 articles/commentaries from about 130 sources. The ones I consider the
most topical and and important are then posted to 'Today's Filtered News' found
on the left side of
StockResearchPortal.com's Home Page.
In part I spend the hour or so early each morning it takes me to select articles
because:
· while you may not agree with all my selections and think (likely
correctly) that my filtering system misses some important articles, by my 'article
filtering' I am attempting to make your daily article intake more efficient, and
your life a little easier than it otherwise would be;
· I believe in developing 'trust relationships' based on independence
and objectivity. Hence, as the StockResearchPortal.com community grows (over
11,500 people from 130 countries have subscribed since we introduced the website
to the Internet 23 months ago) I am careful not to let my own beliefs influence
or bias my article selection process. For example, while I strongly believe
in owning physical gold as a 'safe haven' investment, you frequently will see articles
that express the view that physical gold is a 'poor investment'; and,
· as you likely have figured out from prior e-mails, I am a great
believer in investors working toward 'personal investment empowerment' - that is,
learning and researching what they need to, to take more control of their own investments
while relying less on Analysts and Investment Advisors - and that I believe no one
should invest in the markets without having their own developed view of prospective
U.S. and world economics, the subject matter of many of the articles I select each
morning.
Yesterday I identified two articles I think are particularly worth you taking the
time to read:
· the first, a brief article titled 'So,
How Do You Thnk This Movie Will End' written by Henry Blodget, CEO and
Editor-In Chief of
The Business Insider, displays two excellent charts which I think lead one
to obvious conclusions: U.S. Revenue and Spending from 1962 to date, and Total
U.S. Credit Market Debt as a % of GDP. You can read this article by clicking here; and
· the second, a 'meaty article' titled 'We
Are So Screwed' written by John Mauldin CEO of
Thoughts From The Frontline - as a minimum the title ought to get your
attention - deals (I think sensibly) with many of the economic issues I write about.
I think it notable it is written by an American, and strongly recommend you read
it by clicking here. I further recommend
you then reflect on it as excellent 'food for thought' as you go about your daily
life - and in particular think about and research your equity investments.
