More on CFC and Mozilo

Ok, after listening to Mozilo interview with CNBC, I decide to buy 1 more lot of CFC. This is why.
1.  My  interpretation of him is that he is a good CEO and on the shareholder side. He is the largest share holder. If the stock is down, he is down. Yes he is selling, only [...]

CFC a closer look

I know I know, Spirit of Graham probably frown upon me, and I should of done this prior to buying  CFC, but better late than never.

BRK.B as Safety

In Intelligent Investor, Graham suggested have anywhere between 25 to 75 ratio between bonds and stocks in portfolio. While I believe this time has past, some high-yield saving account can offer up to 5% rate with cash in hand, a better choice than bonds (well most bond, bond with stock option are different story.

BUY CFC

Big Money Making Idea during the Mortgage Turmoil

My one million dollar idea during the time of turmoil is, if you have a good credit, offer rent-to-own options for home owner seekers.
