Why Traders Fail

greenfaucet.com — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 11:43:50 -0600

Today I was going to comment that part of the success equation on which newbies focus: the trading methodology. Specifically I wanted to ask the question: what constitutes a robust plan?

But then Dr Janice Dorn's July1 newsletter hit my mailbox. It's so good that I want to share it with you not only because it well-written, but also because it fits neatly into our current theme. And while I may not agree with Janice's view of the purpose of the market, it is an angle worth considering.

My Shiny New Healthcare Strategy - Branded Pharma Out, Generics & Diagnostics In

Epiphany Investing — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 10:01:32 -0600

I start with manning up on my mistake of not dumping PFE shares 5 months ago. More importantly, I outline new thesis for the secular trends that will define the healthcare landscape for the coming decade. The U.S. isn't the only nation seeking major healthcare reform; China is in the game too, and investors should know by now that they can do things much swifter than we can.

My new focus areas are diagnostics, both of the low-tech and high-tech variety. To this end BEC has been added to the model, and LIFE may find its way in too. Generics will be evaluated for inclusion as there's simply too many positive catalysts to ignore. Traditional Chinese Medicine stocks will also be looked at, although options for Western retail investors are few and far between. Happy 4th to all my U.S. readers!

Tantillo's Brand Winner... And Loser: Michael Jackson and Governor Sanford

sixfingers — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 08:47:44 -0600

In the wake of Michael Jackson's death, brand expert John Tantillo comments on how the strong emotional reactions to the artist's death are a testament to the incredible strength of his personal brand: "You know a brand is strong when people would rather that none of the scandal had ever happened to it."
In the second half of his post, Tantillo names another personal brand--Governor Sanford of South Carolina--last week's brand loser, explaining how political personal brands have very little room for error and how the governor's short jaunt to Argentina has likely cost him the chance at any future political career.
