A Good Cheap, Lazy Strategy…Reference

Saturday, April 30th, 2011

In my IT blog and ezine articles I write quite extensively on things that I do instinctively, trying to codify them for others to replicate (and for the money and notoriety). On this blog, not so much. Honestly, I make it public hoping to help the reader. I originally also hoped for the reader to help me with comments, but that has yet to happen (not counting the semi-weakly offer of cheap Viagra).  But, I digress (mostly because it is fun).

What I came to blog today is a link to an educational article on planning how much to invest on given stocks. Ignoring the fact that I did better when I didn’t (because it was more a matter of when I didn’t rather than how I didn’t), I can honestly recommend reading it for your own education.

Reading Today Between the Lines

Monday, February 28th, 2011

Seems to me this recession came in on an oil price spike and is going out the same way. Seems like 1978 – 1982 all over again.

Consider Jumping Off the Sleigh Ride

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010

The Santa Claus Rally is fairly regular. I was hunting around for ideas on picks for this Christmas when I ran across a convincing article for dropping lots of stocks that may peak around then, then pick them up in the following plummet.

Optional Options Offering Online

Wednesday, November 17th, 2010

I know I need to learn more about options as an addition to my cheap lazy approach. Heavy on the cheap and light on the lazy, but compromise is nothing. When I do get around to learning more, one place I will go back to is this article on Investor Place I saw today.

Thar’s Gold in Them Thar Shills

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

The number of sites to take money from suckers is only slightly smaller than the number of suckers. Still,when it comes to investing, the good shills looking to get your money give you enough real stuff to get you to pony up for for the “rest of the story”. One good example is Buying a Beaten-up Stock at the Right Time and Right Price , which is an article aimed at getting you to pay for their predictive software that gives you a good education on what to look for even if you don’t buy. I don’t know how good their software is, but I do know their pitch has all the right moves.

Saturday, June 26th, 2010

While checking on Advance America, Cash Advance Centers Inc. (AEA), I ran across the term Double Top, which I had seen before. I found an excellent article explaining the pattern at Trending 123.

Yahoo! Finance Cookies

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

Apparently if you upgrade Flash (willingly, knowingly or not) you have to clear your cookies before things like the interactive charts and stock watch alerts will work properly again. In FireFox, you can clear individual cookies, which is great if you don’t want to have to re-login in to all of your automatic logins on hundreds of sites like me :)

Cheap, But Not Lazy Investment Resource

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

First, Publisher’s Clearing House is not an investment strategy. However, if all I have to do is run one of my many daily searches from their search engine to win money, why not? Funny thing is, when my daily reminder prompts me to do this it is almost always after I have done some extensive searches on everybody’s standard search engine. This means I have to get creative on what I should search for (why waste perfectly good key strokes?). So I ran a search for highest paying dividend and ran across:

Top U.S. Stocks with Highest Dividend Yield as of Mar. 13, 2010

PS: If you start using the PCH search and win, please donate my percentage using the icon at the top of this page :)
