I am a huge fan of philosophy. I think it should be taught at the high school level, not to push one belief set over another, but to teach the art of thinking. Don’t get me wrong. I am not a learned scholar who writes deep, complicated papers on the topic and can lecture at […]
Last week, I told you I would circle back and share the latest buying and selling activities of some of the best energy and technology investors. I covered SIR Capital, one of the best energy investors in recent years, but followed that with Donals Smith and Company, a deep-value firm with very little technology exposure. […]
13f filings got a lot of press last week at the deadline. As usual, all the focus was on what the well-known investors were doing in the quarter. The problem is that following these billionaires is probably not going to help you make money. There are way too many eyeballs viewing and acting on the […]
The 13F filing deadline for institutional investment managers was on Valentine’s Day, and it passed with the usual fanfare from the media. By fanfare, I mean they covered the filings least likely to serve as a launching pad to outsized profits for individual investors. Let me do the opposite, and set you up for some […]

The European Economy is a hot mess. There is no growth. Inflation is still a problem; it has been over a year since we have seen anything that resembles good news from Europe about the economy. After decades of the economic dominance of the region, Germany has proven that following moronic energy and monetary policies […]
The Permian basin is one of the most active oil and gas regions. Over the last year, over 30 billion barrels of oil have come out of the ground in West Texas and New Mexico, and the experts expect that there are still another 30 billion barrels remaining. All the major oil and gas companies […]
Everyone loves a single-digit priced stock. This is despite the fact that academics tell us there is no advantage to buying a low-priced stock; instead, they say, a move from $5 to $8 is the same as a move from $50 to $80. That is not exactly true: much of the time, it takes less […]
Right after last week’s article was posted extolling the virtues of investing in one of the most geopolitically unstable regions in the world, I received the latest updates on global valuations. Turkey is still on the list of ultra-cheap stock markets. Turkey has a lot of risks, but with the market indexes trading with a […]
