Cat Chews up Professional Stock Pickers
One of my readers sent me a link to an amusing article about a cat that won a UK stock-picking contest. Named Orlando, he squared off against two other teams: a group of kids, and some hand-picked professional investors. The Guardian reported their year-end 2012 results, awarding Orlando top honors. “While the professionals used their …

Our Tropical, Mountain Christmas On Wheels
This Christmas, Pele and I won’t be celebrating around a Christmas tree. Nor will we be basking on a tropical beach. Instead, the two of us are adventuring into the mountains of Northern Thailand tomorrow for a fully loaded 900km, thigh burning ride on our Co-Motion tandem. The terrain is described as “nasty” and the …

DBS Vickers Raises Trading Commissions
While many of the world’s discount investment brokerages are waging a commission war, Singapore’s DBS Vickers has decided to raise commission fees on stock purchases. If you think Singaporean landlords are irrational when they try doubling their tenants’ rent, well….you ain’t seen nothing yet. In some cases, DBS Vickers is charging nearly 500% more in …

How To Become A Lazy Millionaire
My wife hates it when I claim I’m lazy. But laziness can be a virtue. I’m not like most people. I want to spend more money, save less money, become financially free before most people and have a decent-sized bank account. It’s not a pipedream. I’ve actually done it on a teacher’s salary. And if …

MOAR Than Dogs of the Dow
One of the most significant investment mentors I have is a guy named Michael O’Higgins. Until last month, we had never met, despite the fact that he gave my book, Millionaire Teacher, a very kind pre-publication endorsement.
