    Global Giants and Diversifiers To Supercharge a Portfolio [view article]
    BTW, M* Portfolio Manager now shows 3 years standard deviation of a portfolio. It also shows Expected Annual Return in the Asset Allocator (AA) tool. When I entered Geoff's "modified David Swensen's" allocation into these M* tools I got the three years SD at 11.45, same as Geoff got from the QPP. However, the expected annual return at the AA tool shows 7.5% vs. Geoff's at about 10% for the next three years. It would be interesting to wait and see which is right. M* AA also shows a possible 3 month loss of 10.3%, for this allocation (from today). Reply

    Hi, since when Morningstar's Portfolio Manager, in the "Transaction"... mode, updates account's (ticker's) number of shares without entering it manually, all the time? Reply

    The "No Amount of Bad News Can Bring This Market Down" Trades [view article]
    Well, it's been a nice 200-year party, this Industrial Revolution. And it only cost us about 400 million years' worth of Earth's solar energy savings. Now let's go find us another earth, just in case the party broke us. Reply

    Inflation Worries Send Consumers Back to Discount Retailers [view article]
    It's true that consumer electronics is suffering the biggest decline right now. As an employee at BBY, I've seen a softening of demand across all market segments--computers, digital imaging, personal electronics, TVs and stereos, and appliances. Those shoppers that are in the marketplace are looking for bargains, and snapping up last year's models of products to get good discounts. I personally think it will get worse before it gets better.

    Dear Readers,

    Thank you for the positive and negative feedback. This article intends to analyze the current trends, and how they will impact financials markets. While some would prefer to live a charade, and pretend that deflation is not an underlying factor to a weakening economy, it was appropriate to build a case as to the impact of the Fed and U.S. government policy.

    Bonds may be viewed as a "safe haven" for investors. However, in this scenario, bonds are a trap. They simply lose value faster than it is accumulated.

    Last, this article encouraged readers to be proactive toward investing decisions...thinking outside the box.

    Respectfully,
    Brian A. Davis     Reply

    Generally a useless post and more typical of the rantings found at Marketwatch. Some points may be valid, but no analysis is provided. "Bonds will go bust" - two year, ten year, thirty year, international bonds, high yield? A well balanced, divesified portfolio (including some type of bonds) and a few obvoius short positions is the best way to play this market now. Reply

    Sooner or later, the China and the Saudis are going to wake up and
    figure out that all they are doing is importing our debt. Then hold on to your pants! Uncle Sam is stuck playing in a bad game of Hearts, and the only card we have is the queen of spades.

    Back in the day, I recall inflation being defined as to many people chasing too few goods. The BRICS countries (I count the Saudis as a world player due to wealth) can afford to do this for awhile by using the exponentially decreasing dollar. We are 5% of the world's population, and continue to use 25% of it's resources. If the goal of the BRICS countries is to live like us, the world will have to shed itself of approx. 3 billion people.     Reply

    That would apply to Flashrob too, right!     Reply

    Jimbo-
    The Supreme Court didn't kill term limits. We just need a constitutional amendment. What are the chances of that?     Reply

    I hear what Texasgolfer is saying. However I think "W" must bear some responsibility for the fiscal mess of the Federal Government. I admit to voting for George W. Bush twice. We get the government we deserve. Most of the time, I find my self voting for the "evil of the two lessers".
    The SUPREME COURT, IN THEIR INFINITE WISDOM, KILLED THE IDEA OF TERM LIMITS. I do not believe we can straighten out the cesspool in Washington until we can stop the lifetime careerists in Congress and elsewhere in government.     Reply
