Retirement Risk: Don’t Trade Downside Protection For More Upside
We have a key belief about saving for retirement: The potential for additional upside is not worth an outsized risk of devastating downside. Case in point: The recent Reuters Special Report on the riskiness of Fidelity Investments’ target date series Freedom Funds highlights important issues on the risk faced by participants in target date funds—risks that may […]

Mother Nature’s Deflationary Forces
I like free stuff. Free delivery, free wireless, free breakfast… you name it. I think most people share this view, and I know that companies and countries around the world are definitely on board. That’s what makes solar and wind power so interesting. The basic resources are free. Yes, there’s the bit about environmental concerns, […]
Inflation Hysteria(s)
On May 16, 2000, the FOMC gathered around in Washington to debate taking more extreme measures. For nearly a year, Greenspan’s Federal Reserve had been “raising rates” in the now-familiar pattern.

5 Tech Stocks Lifting The Nasdaq ETF To New High
The Nasdaq Composite Index staged a stunning comeback, recouping all losses incurred early last month when the index had slipped into a correction territory.

Why Quanta Services Inc Has A Safe 20% Upside
Infrastructure companies can be a safe play in uncertainty, especially low beta stocks like Quanta Services Inc (NYSE: PWR).
