Another Rush to Judgement

Money was never a big motivation for me, except as a way to keep score. The real excitement is playing the game. - Donald Trump

Money frees you from doing things you dislike. Since I dislike doing nearly everything, money is handy. - Groucho Marx

The idiocy continues…just when you thought the comments discussed yesterday were bad enough, here comes new ones from none other than Rush Limbaugh. Mr. Limbaugh has used this tragedy to imply that President Obama is using it to look “compassionate” and “humanitarian” while at the same time bolstering his standing in both the “light-skinned and dark-skinned black community in this country.”

In what world is this OK? What has happened to society that this type of venom is allowed to continue? The scariest part is that there is a whole host of sheep out here believing the words of Robertson and Limbaugh. The world should be terrified of what may come out of their mouths next.

The Windy City Trader is appearing for the first time here on the ZepInvest Blog. This weekly newsletter covers the commodity markets and supplies commentary and technical analysis. The most recent release covers it all. Whether its metals, grains, currencies or livestock, this is one place to get all of the information you need.

The Cabot Market Letter is playing the “Prediction Game” in the most recent release. Well, not really…editor Michael Cintolo and his crew focus on trends. See how their model portfolio has done. Also check out their feature on how to read charts and spot selling points on stocks. That piece right there could save your portfolio.

That’s all for today. Check back tomorrow to see what other ridiculousness we can find out there.

It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like...

Never spend your money before you have it.
- Thomas Jefferson

I have enough money to last me the rest of my life, unless I buy something.
- Jackie Mason

As we get closer and closer to the holidays and the end of the year, many people are preparing for 2010. They are looking at fourth quarter projections, harvesting some losses and helping the economy by shopping of course. Mortgage rates set a new low, and with the extension of the $8,000 tax credit for first time buyers, hopefully we will continue to see some traction in the housing market.

To start off today, the Cabot Market Letter by Michael Cintolo uses both technical and fundamental analysis and a market timing strategy. The monthly publication was founded in 1970 and is rated one of the top financial newsletters by both Hulbert Financial Digest and Timer Digest. The most recent edition, “Getting More Selective,” talks about finding leaders in the stock market. “A leader is a stock that is acting well, whose movements promise that it has a good chance of climbing higher in the weeks and months ahead.”

Systems and Forecasts is the first publication we are covering for the second time. In the newest piece, “Stocks Cling to their Highs,” Marvin Appel gives an update to his portfolio as well as some information on a mutual fund merger. For information on the Transamerica High Yield Bond Fund, check out the newsletter.

Another publication we’ve discussed before is Schaeffer’s Daily Bulletin. As well as recommendations on stock trades, Bernie Schaeffer’s publication also offers commentary on the Fed, the markets both domestic and abroad and a stock feature. The 12/3/09 edition features McKesson Corp. (MCK).

As I read these newsletters each day, I am amazed at the quality of information and analysis. There is a variety here that I have not seen elsewhere. If someone uses strictly ETFs or mutual funds, they can find information here. If they want emerging markets, that’s covered. Commodities, sector specific, long term or market timers…we’ve got it all.
