On Monday, I was in the city spending some time with my friends at Yahoo Finance. As always, I thank them for their hospitality and Jeff Macke for the engaging conversation. http://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/breakout/3-indicators-tell-market-next-move-115923205.html With the volume and velocity of information out there, trying to get a read on the stock market is like attempting to get a sip of water from a firehose. Thankfully Paul Schatz of Heritage Capital has three ways to check the health of the market and durability […]

One story related by Peter L. Bernstein in “Against the Gods: the remarkable story of risk” was the experience of Kenneth Joseph Arrow, an American economist and joint winner of the 1972 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics. Some officers had been assigned the task of forecasting weather a month ahead, but Arrow and his statisticians found that their long-range forecasts were no better than numbers pulled out of a hat. The forecasters agreed and asked their superiors to be relieved […]

Last Wednesday, I participated in an interesting discussion on CNBC’s Closing Bell regarding what I consider to be the most “unloved” investment. Most continue to scratch their heads as to why they haven’t cratered with the trillions of the dollars our Fed has created over the past few years. But there are bigger stories at play. For years, most have thought that inflation would really kick into high gear, but that certainly hasn’t happened. You may have seen it at […]

Here is the article based on my interview with CNBC’s European Closing Bell from May 1. http://www.cnbc.com/id/47243367 The 2012 bull market still has further to run, according to Paul Schatz, president of Heritage Capital, an independent investment banking and advisory firm.

Although that may seem bad on the surface, markets have a way of discounting known and anticipated news into current prices. Remember 2008? Who could forget it?!?! The stock market turned down long before the economy and news. And right at THE bottom in March 2009, the news was about as […]

Here is the second video I did with the folks from Yahoo! at their beautiful new studio in the city. Anytime there are bold statements on gold, people come out of the woodwork to comment. And I would be surprised if they aren’t at least 100 comments by the time you read this. One of the great myths is that gold goes up when there is inflation. I think the 1990s is the perfect example of why that isn’t true. […]
