Get Real On The Economic Recovery And Stock Market Rally
October 20, 2009 | 6 Comments
In view of the challenging times ahead, I believe the stock market is too optimistic with its valuations of 15-25 times earnings. Stocks have rallied aggressively since March. Most of them are trading above their 200-day moving average and with no sign of slowing down. In this kind of bullish environment, fundamental analysis seems really foolish. A monkey, with no baggge of knowing how bad things really are, could have made huge profits just by throwing darts in the dark.

Since the last week of June, the stock market has whipsawed in a tight range. Gone is the hot-headed exuberance but neither has a drastic correction materialize. Some bulls are still holding the fort amid a thin market volume, but deciphering market sentiment is difficult as false signals can be easily generated by a few market participants.

Bolster Your Emergency Fund In A Prolonged Crisis
May 2, 2009 | 1 Comment
To prepare for the worst, we should picture an unemployed scenario and get serious about bulking up our emergency fund to meet at least six to eight months of expenses. Now I know that saving up six months of expenses is no laughing matter, especially if you are a credit card junkie and have formed an onerous habit of living from paycheck to paycheck.
