How are the biggest losers doing? Readers, I asked you to create a portfolio of stocks that you thought would be hopeless. You put together 23 big, bad and ugly businesses which we compiled two weeks ago. Of course, as mentioned before, one man’s junk can be another man’s treasure. That said, the stocks you …

I’ll Show You Mine if You Show Me Yours!
Do you remember what investing in the late 90s was like? You could put $5000 into a tech stock, and at the end of the month it could be worth $100,000. If you were as ignorant as I was, you probably thought you were a genius back then. As “brilliant” stock pickers, my friends and …

No joke—I think I just cracked a rib running!
Smoothly picking up speed, I glided down the running track earlier today, approaching a pace that I figured was equivalent to a 6 minute mile. That was the goal: to run a 6 minute mile. After one lap, I doubled over, heaving from the effort. And as strange as it sounds, I think that one …

Readers: Thank you for putting together the worst portfolio you could think of. I asked you to put together a collection of stocks that you thought were utterly hopeless. Of course, one person’s junk is another person’s treasure….but the bottom line is that you, as a collective group, were trying to create the worst portfolio …

The Losers are Winning!
If you’ve been following my blog, you’ll know that I’ve asked readers to give me the names of the worst stocks they know. I tossed this group of degenerates into a heap–creating a single portfolio out of them yesterday. I also asked you to give me the names of ten great mutual funds–those with amazing …

Welcome to My Blog!
I'm Andrew Hallam. Many people aren't comfortable talking about money. It's not usually a conversational dinner-time topic, and its principles are rarely taught in schools. My goal is to have a "conversation" about it here, on this blog. If you read something you find intriguing, please comment or ask your questions!
I am also the author of the book, Millionaire Teacher: The Nine Rules of Wealth You Should Have Learned at School
