      Oh, I think you mean jingo instead of gingo. Nobody's perfect.

      It's edifying to see the mature responses here. Frankly, financial institutions and investors got addicted to making and buying
      high-interest, high-risk loans. How is that the government's fault or responsibility?
      But of course, we live in a Keynesian world, and the average American has the maturity level of a Power Ranger audience. Coddle we must and coddle we shall.

      U.S. Real Estate Bargains - Barron's Interview
      The REIT haters are missing the value play here. Only recommended if you can hang on for 5-7 years. But, golly darn it, that's where the money is made: buy and hold at a discount. If you have a 6 month horizon, well, this isn't for you.

      Will 2008 Be the Year of the Bear?
      Maybe the Year of the Rat is right - opportunities abound...as in buying depressed stocks. When to do so? We'll all be trying to figure that out...

      Using Volatility as an Investment Tool
      I employ different investing strategies, but value investing in something that's out of favor is my favorite. Buy low, sell high is hard to do in real time with all the noise. Someday, America will need that depressed sector back...
      It's always good to read about the tribulations this strategy has one undergo.

      Black Swans, Real Estate and Financial Stocks
      I just finished listening to Taleb's Black Swan. It seems many things we would like to call Black Swans are in fact simply things we'd prefer not to predict or notice. Not to say there aren't genuine surprises, but a lot of "Black Swans" are really the result of lack of perception among people.
      Sometimes a culture suspends critical judgements out of wishful thinking and then cries "black swan" when the inevitable happens.

      Here's a link to a current article regarding the possible renaissance of trains as oil prices stay high:

      I don't know the ins and outs of the railroad business, but it seemed interesting and logical to me. Maybe someone who knows this business can write a line or two here about this possibility.

      Simon Property Group: My Kind of Dividend Growth
      This may be a good idea for long term investing. The stats say this one may be a falling knife though. But it's probably not too bad if you have a 4-5 year horizon or longer.
      A little off topic from dividend per se, but perhaps a good value play in a few months.

      The Inevitable Derivative Meltdown
      I read Seeking Alpha for informative articles filled with facts, whether or not I agree with the writer. There's no substance to this - it sounds like something on a message board. Not up to usual SA standards.
