Nothing gets people angry quite like good economic news.

Remember, investing isn't about the money.

It's about the goods and service you can buy with that money.

Wall Street expects good numbers for the upcoming GDP report. The Atlanta Fed model is at 3.5%. However, this is for Q3, so it doesn't include the impact of the shutdown. Q3 began six months ago and ended three months ago. The Q4 may not be so good.

I'm finishing up my portfolio changes for 2026. Are there any stocks I should be considering?

The New York Stock Exchange will be closed on December 25 in honor of my new buy list.

It's been 20 years since I started posting my buy list free to the web.

CNN writes about a couple that won two million-to-one lotteries, claiming that's one trillion to one. Eh ... that's not quite right. It's 1 trillion for that couple to win those lotteries, but properly, it should be about any couple winning any two lotteries.

There's been a big change in the betting markets on who the next Fed chair will be. Hassett is fading and Warsh is gaining.

If all 2000 stocks in the Russell 2000 merged to form a super company it still would be far from the largest company on Wall Street. The combined value is currently around $2.7 trillion. The Russell 200 makes up just 7% of the Russell 3000.

In the movie Goldfinger, the villain doesn’t aim to steal the gold at Ft Knox. He wants to irradiate it so his holding will be more valuable. But if he had just held on to his gold for 20 years, it would have been worth 25 times as much.

In 1931, when Britain went off the gold standard, it took just 4.63-British pounds to buy an ounce of gold. Now, it takes over 3,100-pounds to buy an ounce of gold – a 670-fold rise in 95-years.
