I am now a blogger!

I'll give this a shot to see what you guys think. Listed here will be some thoughts on investing (who cares what I think anyway), some investing sites I read, and some articles. Just remember, regardless of what you read here, the key to successful investing is to...

ALWAYS buy low and sell high!

Duuuh.

So for this first post I will highlight some RSS feeds at the bottom of this blog.

Bloomberg on the Economy hosted by Tom Keene is probably the best podcast site for discussions on the economy. The RSS feed at the bottom of this blog will list the most recent podcasts. Click on one and you can hear it through your PC. Or go to the links on the right of this blog to go directly to the site. If you have an MP3 player you can subscribe to the podcasts and listen to them when in the car. That's how I listen to them.

If you follow the Greenblatt MagicFormula then the RSS feed from MagicDiligence.com is a useful site. The MagicFormula screens stocks strictly based on the "numbers" as value plays. The goal described on the MagicDiligence site is to further analyze the stocks on the Greenblatt screen...

"What if you could pick and choose the best of the best, those select few “Magic Formula” stocks that were:
1) Financially healthy with strong, reliable cash flows, reasonable debt, and durable competitive advantages.
2) Are not the beneficiary of a one-time “fad” product.
3) Have experienced and trustworthy management, by all available indications.
4) Are not operating in a declining industry with poor future prospects."

One of MagicDiligence's recent top buys was HURCO. And... just a few days later it popped 34% in one day! So did I buy HURC when MagicDilligence highlighted it? If only I were that smart. In truth the MagicDiligence site is new so I thought I would watch it for a while to see what happens....

The GuruFocus feed below highlights what top investors are doing, including... Greenblatt, Buffet, Pickens, Soros and more.
