For the second podcast this Memorial Day 2009 Weekend, I share with you the Bio of Stephen Crane and read one of his poems, "Do Not Weep, Maiden, For War Is Kind", and a short essay, "The Colonel", by Carolyn Forche. PetSmart (PETM) recently dropped sharply on what appeared to me to be good news. Owning this stock already in my trading portfolio, instead of joining the selling mob, I chose to add to my position in light of my own assessment that the news was far better than suggested by a Goldman Sachs analyst who dropped the rating on the stock while maintaining the price target. I explain my rationale and wait for trading to resume next week.
Today's podcast includes a reading of "The Path to the White Moon" by John Ashbery, a comment on my 6th birthday blogging at "Stock Picks Bob's Advice", and a look at a recent stock I blogged about, McDonald's (MCD).

In tonight's podcast, I read three poems by Robert Frost, a favorite of mine: "The Exposed Nest", "Out, Out--", and "The Road Not Taken", and I discuss how investment strategy that allows you to shift into and out of cash and into and out of equities in response to market influences is key to successful management of investments. I credit Robert Lichello who wrote "How to Make $1,000,000 Automatically" and his AIM system, and point out how I have been managing my own portfolio in the face of this terrible bear market.

In tonight's podcast I discuss two stocks: Dolby (DLB) a stock I have blogged about previously, and Badger Meter (BMI). Both stocks reported great earnings and have solid 5-Yr records. I also read a poem, "Notice" by Steve Kowit, and discuss a recent trade in Microsoft Stock.

In tonight's podcast, I read a poem, "Filling Station" by Elizabeth Bishop, discuss WMS Industries (WMS), a stock that I hold in my trading portfolio, and talk about how a bear market has affected my own portfolio management strategy. How I now allow initial purchases in my 5 position minimum to incur a 16% loss before selling, and how I replace those minimum holdings with smaller positions and now replace new positions in the 6 to 20 position portion of my portfolio at larger size based on the other positions.

In this evening's podcast, I read a poem, "Adventures of Isabel" by Ogden Nash, review my Trading Portfolio as of 6/28/08, and discuss portfolio management and responding to market influences as revealed in one's own portfolio holdings. In addition, I discuss my approach of responding to market conditions by automatically shifting into and out of equities. I also comment on the controversy I generated by buying shares of Visa (V) and then selling them just two weeks later at an 8% loss.
