Traffic in D.C. has Completely Stalled and the Markets Couldn’t Be Happier

You don't want another Enron? Here's your law: If a company, can't explain, in ONE SENTENCE....what it does....it's illegal. – Lewis Black

I don't think meals have any business being deductible. I'm for separation of calories and corporations. – Ralph Nader

As I sit here, I still have a smile plastered to my face. Yes folks, the New York Jets are going to the AFC Championship game. I’m starting to get as cocky as Rex Ryan. Peyton and his boys will be shut down and the world will be surprised when “Gang Green” walk into Miami as the AFC champs!!!

The market went on a nice run today, and is ready for a nice pop if the Republicans can steal the Senate seat from the long-reigning Democrats in Massachusetts. The seat long held by Ted Kennedy could go over to the other side and the market could not be any happier. Losing a seat to the other side will slow the “Health Care Agenda” and investors like the stagnation in D.C. Let’s see if the investment gurus at ZepInvest have any ideas.

Neil MacNeale and the 2 for 1 Stock Split Newsletter have released a review of their portfolio in their January 15th edition. Based on the title of their lead article, they were up 47% in 2009. They also keep track of all stock split announcements and suggest portfolio movements accordingly. Come check out this model portfolio and the suggested changes.

Charles Mizrahi, editor of the Hidden Values Alert newsletter wants you to focus on the term “competitive advantage” and why it is so important. In the latest release, the publication talks about specific companies and how they have either increased or decreased their competitive advantage against their peers. They’ve even used a Buffett quote to prove a point: “I look for economic castles protected by unbreachable moats.” One castle that doesn’t seem to have any weaknesses is Apple. Come read about it.

It seems we can never get away from politics and elections. This one vote in Massachusetts may be just as important, though for different reasons, than the elections of 2008. I get the feeling that this roller coaster is just starting to pick up speed. Let’s all see where this one leads.
