Added White Mountains to Naked Portfolio

(Oct 19) This is going to be a very short post. As mentioned in my recent opinion about White Mountains (NYSE: WTM), I thought White Mountains is a buy at $566/share. Today the stock traded at $566.01/share. So I added one share to the Naked Portfolio. I believe the recent price drop is due to the recent ...    Read     (1 Comment)

Red Hot, Sexy Trucks

(Oct 4) Nowadays, with more and more people driving oversized SUVs, I feel like I'm being shoved around by big bullies in my little sedan.

Why I Don't Buy Mutual Funds

(Aug 29) After reading 1stmill's post about why he doesn't buy or sell individual stocks, I have newfound respect for him. He humbly admitted his shortcomings in picking stocks on his own. Despite playing down his knowledge and experience in investing, I'd say he's more successful than most investors. After all he's worth over $2 million! Nevertheless ...    Read       (4 Comments)
