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-

The BIG Bernanke: Bond risk for the duration!
The infatuation of investors, retail and institutional alike with bonds has become ridiculous – more lust than love. The perception that there remains less risk in fixed income cannot be further from reality – especially because of the post-crisis distortions … Continue reading

Disappointing results from Apple this past quarter just may be an early sign of more rot to come . Being more experienced as a portfolio manager has its advantages…if only because of the benefits of hindsight. Sexy products have a lifecycle that … Continue reading

Will demographics worsen the debt crisis?
In prior postings, I’ve illustrated that a by-product of the financial mayhem in recent years has been shrinking employment in the financial services sector. It got me thinking – perhaps there’s more to it than just the single volcanic-like eruption ignited by the … Continue reading
