Weekend Reading: Hello iPad Edition

Darwin — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 01:25:47 +0000

This week’s Best in Money and Investing edition coincides with the launch of the iPad which probably made Tiger Woods happy (a little less press for his debut). While some analysts were literally pulling numbers out of their butts touting 700,000 units on opening day, it was more like half that sold. Nonetheless, Apple shares [...]

Best in Money and Investing: Health Care History Edition

Darwin — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 11:45:54 +0000

So much has been said about the recent health care reform bill – what’s good about it, what’s not, and just how divided the country is over it, that I thought it would be best to share a few perspectives that were both for and against to contrast with my article this week on What’s [...]

Darwin — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 04:03:17 +0000

With Apple’s stock at an all-time high on anticipation of blockbuster iPad sales with an estimated 20,000 units sold per hour on opening day today, it makes you wonder whether such a hot item is completely recession-proof. People need that iPad! It’s quite amazing, and I’m holding plenty of Apple stock (see Darwin’s Portfolio Ã¢â‚¬â€œ [...]

Weekend Reading: I’m A Plutus Award Finalist Edition

Darwin — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 12:56:55 +0000

I thought I’d dedicate this weekend reading edition to a shameless plea for votes in the Plutus Awards, as I was nominated for Best Investing Blog of 2009. I spend so little time actually trying to promote myself vs. keeping up with posts, emails and life in general, that I figure I’d throw this one [...]

Weekend Reading – “There Will Be Blood” Edition

Darwin — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 13:05:11 +0000

This week it was announced that New York Attorney General’s office is filing civil charges against the former CEO of Bank of America Ken Lewis, saying he misled investors about Merrill Lynch when it acquired the bank in late 2008. Whether this is politically motivated or there is legal merit, it is evident that after [...]

Weekend Reading: HealthCare Up in the Air Edition

Darwin — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 01:11:15 +0000

It was a tumultuous week in both the political arena as well as stock market action. With a major upset win in Mass. by the Republican underdog Brown, Dems were still mulling over whether to try and push through a Healthcare reform bill that was nowhere near ready just before Brown was to be seated.

Weekend Reading: Tiger Woods “In the Rough” Edition

Darwin — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 02:51:36 +0000

With the world obsessed over Tiger’s dilemma and the media frenzy that ensued, it’s just a reminder that even the best in the world can be brought down by bad behavior off the job. The latest is that Tiger’s taking a “hiatus” from golf. Meanwhile, US equities surpassed 2009 highs this week, Copenhagen continued unabated [...]

Darwin — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 12:17:10 +0000

With most of America celebrating Thanksgiving, it probably went widely unnoticed that Dubai is having trouble meeting debt obligations which is likely to have reverberations around the globe as investors brace themselves for another potential round of credit crunches, but this time, starting in emerging markets rather than the US from a housing collapse. With [...]
