Brought 50 Shares of FNM at $35.20
Brought 50 Shares of FNM at $35.20 yesterday. The market cap was at its intrinsic value according to my calculation. Fannie Mae has little chance going bankrupt since it’s government sponsored. I want to take advantage of this bad-beat housing market. Country Wide is the leading company in this area, but its status look pale compare [...]

In the midst of this crises, investors are lossing confidence, avoiding and dumping mortgage related investments in fear of defaults, which can possibly come from refinance out of lower ARM, lower of house [...]

Speculation: Get Ready for A Bull Run
I know we should not guess at future market trends because in the end we’ll be wrong about half of the time, and that make us feel like a nincompoop. Nevertheless, I want to start make some educated speculations and in the end, I will keep a record and see so how good I am at fortune telling, hence the new [...]

Expect Less Entries on My Blog
As I continue to strive to learn, understand, and amend my own investment principles, I come to be more ignorant of market outlooks and those of professional advisors’ opinions and analysis. I understand now why great investment publications such as Outstanding Investor Digest (OID) publish occasionally and only when it finds news worthy of writing. [...]

GRMN out on map business, shares go up,
GRMN is officially out on the bid war for map makers. I thought it was an expensive and bad take over decision for GRMN in the first place. However it may very well be, GRMN original bid was a strategical move to force TOMTOM to raise their take over price. Tom-tom’s takeover will hardly be profitable financially in itself and having taken [...]

I finally finished it after like 20hours of reading spread little over 3 weeks. I will give myself some time to reflect and absorb the life of [...]
