Value Stock Investing, Quality is Job One - How much financial bloodshed
is necessary before we realize that there is no safe and easy shortcut
to investment success? When do we learn that most of our mistakes involve
greed, fear, or unrealistic expectations about what we own? Eventually,
successful investors begin to allocate assets in a goal directed manner
by adopting a realistic Investment Strategy... an ongoing security selection
and monitoring process that is guided by realistic expectations, selection
rules, and management guidelines. If you are thinking of trying a strategy
for a year to see if it works, you're due for another smack up alongside
the head! Viable Investment Strategies transcend cycles, not years,
and viable Equity Investment Strategies consider three disciplined activities,
the first of which is Selection. Most familiar strategies ignore one
of the others.

- The
Nature of Stocks and their Markets - Besides money, the only thing
you need to start investing is a stock broker. Your broker will be the
individual or organization that have execute your buy and sell orders.
They will have an account for you which is just like a normal bank account,
except that it can contain not only cash, but stocks and bonds as well.
Money from the sale of shares will go into this account, and cash to
buy shares will be taken from this account.

- Interpret
and Profit from Financial Statements - Financial statements are
a useful tool for judging the health of a company, and for comparing
it to its competitors. They show what the company owes and owns, the
profits or loses it has made over a given period, and how their position
has changed since their last statement. Generally if you can tell which
direction a company is heading in, you can also forecast future stock
prices with some accuracy.

Allocation Lessons - Asset Allocation is an Investment Planning
Tool, not an Investment Strategy...few investment professionals understand
the distinction, because most think that Investment Planning and Financial
Planning are the same thing.

- Understanding
Fixed Income Securities: Expectations - I’ve come to the conclusion
that the Stock Market is an easier medium for investors to understand
(i.e., to form behavioral expectations about) than the Fixed Income
Market. As unlikely as this sounds, experience proves it, irrefutably.
Few investors grow to love volatility as I do, but most expect it in
the Market Value of their equity positions. When dealing with Fixed
Income Securities however, neither they nor their advisors are comfortable
with any downward movement at all. Most won't consider taking profits
when prices increase, but will rush in to accept losses when prices
fall.

- Mid-Cap
Stocks: Asset Class with an Identity Crisis - Much like the middle
child, mid-cap stocks have long struggled to find their identity. Carved
out from the upper echelons of the small caps and the lower end of the
large caps, the mid-cap sector has a rough definition of stock with
a market capitalization of greater than $2 billion, but less than $10
billion. Taking components from both worlds, some analysts argue that
mid-cap stocks can offer growth opportunities found in the small caps
and the relative stability found in the large caps.

- The
Exclusive Club of Large Caps - Picture one of those clubs where
only the real heavyweights need apply. In the library the old aristocrats,
General Motors and JP Morgan, are dozing in their leather chairs. On
the terrace, a late luncheon is underway for those who have only improved
their standing through marriage. ExxonMobil and Citigroup are part of
the party. At the bar, a number of the"nouveau riche" have
gathered - Microsoft seems to be buying for Intel and Hewlett Packard.
Welcome to the world of the Large Cap Stock Club, the biggest of the
worlds publicly traded companies.

- Create
your own Anti-Emergency Fund - Do unexpected car repairs, quarterly
insurance payments or those darned property taxes find you hard pressed
to squeeze one more dollar out of an already stretched monthly budget?
Or do you usually end up reaching for the plastic in your wallet to
make up the difference? Those inevitable expenses can put less stress
on your bank balance -- and your mind -- if you learn to expect them
and save in advance.

- How
to Dispute Credit Report Errors - Your credit report--a type of
consumer report--contains information about where you work and live
and how you pay your bills. It also may show whether you've been sued
or arrested or have filed for bankruptcy. Companies called consumer
reporting agencies (CRAs) or credit bureaus compile and sell your credit
report to businesses. Because businesses use this information to evaluate
your applications for credit, insurance, employment, and other purposes
allowed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), it's important that
the information in your report is complete and accurate.

Signs That Show You Know How to Handle Money - The ability to master
your money is not something that just happens. It takes time, training,
and temperament. Whatever praise or criticism you may direct at the
American public school system, one thing must be acknowledged: The handling
of personal financial affairs is not a subject to which much attention
is devoted. Whatever the average citizen knows about saving and investing
did not come from the classroom. This is understandable, of course,
if only because the typical classroom teacher is equally mystified by
the world of money. Nonetheless, there are those among us who have figured
out how it all works, and what it takes to prosper.

- The
Flat Tax Proposal - Consider what government is all about. It can
be summed up in one word: Taxes. Regardless of location, party denomination
or political structure, just as an army reputedly "travels on its
stomach," a bureaucracy travels on its citizens' billfolds, and
everyone entering government service sooner or later comes to share
this attitude.

- The
Economics of a Habit - A few days ago, while waiting in line at
a Rite Aid drug store, I witnessed the person directly ahead of me,
a young man about eighteen, purchase a package of Marlboro cigarettes.
The price caught my attention: $3.84. Though I once smoked two packs
a day, it was a long time ago. To give you an idea how long ago, my
brand, Raleigh’s, then sold for $1.39 a carton. After quitting,
I sort of lost track of it, never imagining how expensive the habit
might become. This revelation came as a real surprise.

- A
Little Tax Planning - As I leaned back in my chair once again, I
mentally added numbers as the picture came into clear focus. Then peering
directly at Pauline, I said: "Here’s the way it is: Though
you may make fifty thousand this year, you’ll only get to keep
about half of it."
