Using the Right Tools
About ten years ago, I built a doghouse for my new Bernese mountain dog puppy. This was to be a masterpiece, a palace fit for my lovely princess, Lucy. It was to have everything, including air conditioning, a heated floor (cozy for western New York winters) and even photos on the wallpapered walls. I had […]
Markets Like Stability
Markets can handle good news and even bad news. What the stock market abhors is instability. Investors can deal with the status quo; they loathe change.

Old Traders and Bold Traders
There is a saying in the aviation world: There are old pilots, and there are bold pilots, but there are no old, bold pilots. It isn’t quite true as there was one left. Clarence Emil “Bud” Anderson, a 102-year-old renowned World War II fighter pilot credited with 16 kills over Europe died at his home […]
Trade Small, Trade Often
There is safety in numbers. That is why animals seek cover in a group of similar animals. Known as the dilution effect, an animal on its own is clearly at high risk if a predator notices it. But if it’s a group of N animals, it now has only a 1/N chance of being eaten. […]
