From asset allocation to modeling the intrinsic value of a stock, Applied Equity Analysis and Portfolio Management + Online Video Course offers readers a solid foundation in the practice of fundamental analysis using the same tools and techniques as professional investors. Filled with real-world illustrations and hands-on applications, Professor Weigand's learning system takes a rigorous, empirical approach to topics such as analyzing the macro-finance environment, sector rotation, financial analysis and valuation, assessing a company's competitive position, and reporting the performance of a stock portfolio. Unlike typical books on this subject—which feature chapters to read and exercises to complete—this resource allows readers to actively participate in the learning experience by completing writing exercises and manipulating interactive spreadsheets that illustrate the principles being taught. |

The Good, The Bad, The Bubble And The Downright Crazy
Thanks for your comment. I did not mention my personal portfolio holdings in the article, however. No worries -- I've been "all in" since 2009. Best regards.
TIAA-CREF Warns That Negative Interest Rates Are Coming
Thanks, Gary. Of course, low interest rates are like any other form of artificial stimulation. Markets like the "buzz" at first, but then ever-larger doses (QE programs, calculating P/E ratios with "adjusted" rather than GAAP earnings, etc.) are required to maintain the high. And, like any addict, the only way to get clean is to stop using and face the pain of withdrawal (-20% to -35% bear market). Volcker was a banker, and he knew how to prescribe harsh medicine when it was required. Greenspan, Bernanke and Yellen are part academics, part government apparatchiks.
