Back in March I wrote “MMA Rates are Falling, What are You Going to Do?” Then my best money market earner was AmTrust Direct at what I described as a “measly 3.75%”. In less than three months, AmTrust Direct is now at 2.75% and is no longer my best earner. That honor now goes to ING at 3.00%. This somewhat surprised me since ING has traditionally been my lowest account….

A young and pretty lady posted this on a popular forum:
Title: What should I do to marry a rich guy?
I’m going to be honest of what I ‘m going to say here. I’m 25 this year. I’m very pretty, have style and good taste. I wish to marry a guy with RM500k annual salary or above. You might say that I’m greedy but an annual salary of RM1M is considered only as middle class in KL. My requirement is not high. Is there anyone in this forum who has an income of RM500k annual salary? Are you all married? I wanted to ask: what should I do to marry rich people like you? Among those I’ve dated, the richest has a RM250k annual income and it seems that this is my upper limit. If someone is going to move into a high cost residential area in Mont Kiara, RM250k annual income is not enough.

A few things for your consideration between now and Monday:
On the heels of Anthony Bolton reporting his view that commodities are losing their luster, comes this Bloomberg story about the John Hancock Global Opportunities Fund paring its commodity-related stock holdings. Note the fund hasn’t sold off all such stocks. You know I certainly haven’t been big into commodities. But taking profits by scaling back if you have been invested seems prudent to me. I remember reading longtime newsletter writer Doug Casey some years ago. He said that gold stocks were to be traded, not bought and forgotten about. My hunch is the same is true for commodities across the board, though I’m no expert.

Week 43 performance of the mutual fundComments: Week 43 was all in all quite a boring week as a lot of people seemed to sit on their hands, or go to the Hamptons - or maybe they were sitting on their hands in the Hamptons - they sure were not trading. Volume was light in the markets, but the indexes made up about half the losses from last week. A lot of technical analysis on both the indexes and individual stocks did not work this week (stocks broke key levels, I cut - and then they reversed on a dime the very next day), for whatever reason. Specific to the indexes, we’ve seen a few very strange things - where rules that have worked for many years ceased to work the past 6-8 months - most prominent in my mind is how the market technically broke a triple bottom on the Monday after the Bear S…

I mentioned how much I admire the Dow Chemical CEO earlier this week - we need our political leaders to have this sort of backbone and straight talk and global vision [May 28: Bravo Dow Chemical CEO] Wednesday he dropped the bombshell about the 20% price increases across the board (and again folks, this all feeds up to the P…

I am looking to narrow the names in the fund to constantly stay with a focused strategy; that said, I do buy mini baskets in my favorite sectors; generally 3 names. In coal I currently have 4 (not to mention 2 names that are not primary coal producers but also have exposure). So I am looking to cut 1, and decided on Consol Energy (CNX) which has been one of my top 10 winners in the fund [M…

A splice of non investing stuff - looks like Journey has a new lead singer. Considering how original the “original” was, this is about as close as you are going to get as a lead singer, without cloning. Considering this is live and not in the studio, these are some amazing pipes. He has a great version of Open Arms on YouTube as well. Nice.

This Homex (HXM) article was posted a few weeks ago but just had time to really get around to posting it. Since I don’t talk much about this position, it is worth posting - it is a relatively comprehensive overview and with the stock doing very nicely of late, we should discuss from time to time some of the lesser known names in the fund….

There are two stocks in my Income Portfolio for this site that have me completely baffled. Their stock prices continue to erode and I am at a loss to find a good reason. These two point out some of the challenges of investing in smaller cap stocks where often the only news available is the quarterly earnings report and the investor has to live with the share price swings for the 3 months in between without much information to decide whether to hold or sell or buy more. Compare this with a popular stock like Apple (A…

A lot of interesting news regarding electric cars, which have gone from “not on the map” to “we’re coming in 2010″ within a few short years. These are exactly the innovations an energy hungry world is going to need…. and it is even better for the United States because plugging a car into the wall of your house will use coal or natural gas as opposed to petrol - and we have a lot of the former 2 as opposed to begging on our knees for more petrol. Not that we needed any more reasons to be long term bullish on nat gas and coal…….

We recently came across this thought provoking speech to a group of Harvard MBAs by Mark Sellers titled - So You Want To Be The Next Warren Buffett? How?s Your Writing?
You can find the link to the whole paper after this excerpt:
‘”One thing I will tell you right off the bat: I?m not here to teach you how to be a great investor. On the contrary, I?’m here to tell you why very few of you can ever hope to achieve this status… If you spend enough time studying investors like Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett, Bruce Berkowitz, Bill Miller, Eddie Lampert, Bill Ackman, and people who have been similarly successful in the investment world, you will understand what I mean….
