Is This a Head Cold or a Balloon That is About to Pop!?!?

Wealth is like sea-water; the more we drink, the thirstier we become; and the same is true of fame. – Arthur Schopenhauer

Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor liberty to purchase power. – Benjamin Franklin

The offspring of riches: pride, vanity, ostentation, arrogance, tyranny. – Mark Twain

Getting a long weekend around the holidays sounds great in theory. One would expect to relax, maybe finish up the holiday shopping and enjoy some time with family. As I said, it’s great in theory. However, when you step into mixed martial arts cage match that is the mall these days, anything can happen. What is the point of gift giving if you have to go through all of the stress and physical harm while trying to navigate the obstacle course from Hell at Best Buy?

We’re coming up to the last few days of the decade (and the end can’t come fast enough). Today we’ve got three newcomers to the ZepInvest Blog. The first of which is Kevin Kennedy’s Coolcat Total Stock Market Report. This is a monthly newsletter that focuses on blue chip stocks with a market cap of $25 billion or larger. The 12/23/09 edition gives updates on moves listed in recent releases. Come see what new positions he has added to the portfolio and where the other holdings are.

The next publication we have is the Motley Fool Stock Advisor by David & Tom Gardner. This monthly piece uses fundamental analysis to recommend trading strategies and also offers market commentary. The Gardners want you to know that “Your Decade of Mastery Starts Today.” The call is for you to submit to a “New-Decade Resolution;” to be the best investor possible by December 31, 2019. The Fool also gives you stock recommendations and solid advice behind their picks.

What the Stock Advisor gives you in domestic ideas, the Motley Fool Global Gains gives you in the international space. Tim Hanson & Nathan Parmalee want to remind you in “Watch the Suitcases” that the days of U.S. being the world’s most important economy are numbered. It is time to start taking advantage of opportunities that are available around the world. With today’s research and analysis available, the investor can truly create a global portfolio with the help of Global Gains.

Just one day of shopping left for those who have waited until the last minute. No matter what you do, a 10 pound fruitcake is not the answer!!! For those of you have already completed your holiday stress test, its Chinese food and “Avatar!!!”
