Review
"This book is like Mal - who is a rider, a rocker and a rebel. He doesn't just think outside the box - he drags it behind his Harley on a cross-continent adventure and then runs over it a few times for good measure. The Bay and Wall Street guys are gonna hate it - Main Streeters should embrace it. One ton of fun!" BJ Del Conte Chase Producer, BNN - Business News Network Business Producer/Anchor - CP24-

This rant is inspired by a series of articles in the Toronto Globe & Mail examining “Stocks that are attracting lots of pessimism.” Essentially they screened for the highest short interest ratios among Canadian and U.S. companies last week. … Continue reading
Has the stock market sold off enough?
It’s been a fast and furious decline of 2% to 3%, but may enough is enough. Bonds have rallied some as (especially institutional) investors topped up – putting their equity buying on hold. Why? As I’ve said in earlier commentaries (scroll … Continue reading

The Real Reason for TSX and LSE Exchange Mergers
It was the worst of times. Desititute farmers and unemployed labourers would travel westerly in search of better climates hoping to find work. Many ended up in Calgary, Alberta but upon arrival would be given a free train ticket from … Continue reading
Avoid those potential torpedo stocks!
Another sector that’s quite “hot” at this time, and not likely on the radar screen of a ‘maverick investor’ is fertilizers. The following comment on the earnings release of YAR International is an example of what I’ve been saying concerning … Continue reading

Stock market will be a wild “ride” this week!
I saw this news item from Canadian Press: “The TSX finished last week little changed as earnings failed to provide lift, with investors driving share prices lower in companies as diverse as Canadian Tire Corp. (TSX:CTC), BCE Inc. (TSX:BCE), Air … Continue reading

Market Angst!
Read my previous posting for some context. I mention that things I expected to happen last summer (while touring on the bike and writing A Maverick Investor’s Guidebook) have transpired. Good earnings releases preceded improving economic data and markets rebounded … Continue reading

Lessons Learned from the Economic Crisis!
The following is a quote from the book written last summer as I rode my Harley across the heartland of America, contemplating the lessons I learned over 30 years as a money manager: (BEGIN QUOTE) I picked two headlines published … Continue reading
