April 26, 2010 by Editor · Leave a Comment
The debate over deflation/inflation continues as some of our most astute economic observers take sides. Frankly, I think that both sides are missing part of the picture.

Zweig: How Best to Invest in Times Such as These
February 21, 2010 by Editor · Leave a Comment
What is surprising to me these days is how quickly investor mindset has shifted from the sheer uncontrolled fear they felt in October or November of 2008 or March of 2009. People seem to have completely forgotten how terrified they felt a few months ago. They have forgotten that they made impulsive decisions; that they made big decisions when they should have been making small ones; that, instead of making incremental adjustments to portfolios, instead of rebalancing at the margin, they bailed out of asset classes entirely or moved completely into cash. That’s very troubling to me and it suggests that we’re nowhere near out of the woods. It worries me so much I think we’re probably in for another big surprise before we have a full recovery.
