I enjoyed this. Warren Buffett is the best when it comes to investing. It's interesting that this is what he considered the secret to his success. However, I probably read close to 500 pages per week and don't have any where near as much luck in the stock market!

I was very surprised that the State of Union had such little impact on the market.

What about $BABA?

I can't think of a thing either. Solving one problem would only create another. It's really a tradeoff of anonymity vs. control.

Good info. And yes I agree about Martin Armstrong. I first learned about him right here as he is a frequent contributor to TalkMarkets. He had a good, quick post just today: www.talkmarkets.com/.../market-talk-thursday-december-21

This was shocking to me as well!

I've been thinking the same thing. I almost bought #Bitcoin at $300 but thought it was a bubble and would disappear like most fads after the first big hack. I still feel that way but wish I had bought.

I agree, a good place to find some gems. You might like this find as well:

Good points.

Wow, hard to believe $ASTI was once selling for $248 a share. When was that? What are the odds that it will climb anywhere near as high again? I don't know much about #solar stocks but am inclined to learn more.
