Airbus is in deep do-do (2). The company that was heralded as the role model of a European Corporation, is well, getting bogged down in the reality of Europe. If there is one thing that the European governments and the American Federal government share it's getting bogged down in details and...

A good investor knows that most of investing is simple psyche 101, understanding people and what motivates them. That’s why the common advice, made popular by David Bach of the Finish Rich book series, of saving money on “little purchases such as lattes, fancy coffees, bottled water, fast food,...

My recent "discussions" with fellow InvestorGeek, Steve, about "baseball cards" as a metaphor for stocks have prompted more thinking on my part. Isn't that what you wanted, Steve?

After reading Erin's great post a few days ago and talking about it with one of my good friends, and after a conversation I had with my fiancee, the question came up, "When is enough, enough?" Erin and Ken both quoted Trump and Rich Dad, Full of Shit Dad as saying you need to invest to win, how...

On Saturday afternoon, a friend of mine called me and said “You don’t have to watch the Illinois game.” I said, “They lost right.” He said, “They were up 25-7 and the quarterback had 175 yards passing in the first half. He ended up with 190 yards passing for the game because they kept running the...
