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 [...]

When To Buy Into the Market

To understand when the market is going to turn upward, we must understand what the current problems are with sub-primes, the root cause – liquidity. 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 [...]

The January Effect from Peter Lynch

Here is a quote from the newest book I just finished from the one and only, Peter Lynch
”you could make a nice living buying stocks from the low list in November and December during the tax-selling period and then holding them through January, when the prices always seem to rebound. This January effect, as it’s [...]

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 [...]

Where is Yuan?

I haven’t post much lately due to readings, research, and a “side attachment”. Titan is a thick book about 700 pages and a time sink, but a rather enjoyable one. 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 [...]

Response on Current Market Outlook

Someone asked my option on Market Outlook today, here I posted my reply verbatim 
Well, investors are bunch scared kids, when something bad slightly surfaces, they run around and cry to their mommies. Financials are down and might even get uglier as more reports comes out, but what’s the reasons for dragging other sectors down? Like tech [...]
