 Better Information, or Just More Information?
 

The year is almost over and as I prepared for this week's newsletter, I thought about a video I did last summer but never shared with you.  The summer was so busy and volatile, I wanted to provide you with my current thoughts in such a tough time, so this video (which is one of my favorites) got pushed to the side.

 

The video is about information:  more information doesn't necessarily mean better information.  I remember when having more publicly available information was a competitive advantage, but with free internet news sites with up to the second information, that advantage is not as clear.

5 Worst Market Calls of 2011

 

Aberrational Performance Taskforce

 


 

The Securities and Exchange Commission has a new computer system that allows them to siff out returns that are, well, too good to be true.

 

While it's unclear exactly how it works, it compares published numbers from hedge funds with what the computer says is average or what the underlying assets could be worth.

 

If the numbers published are too generous, then the SEC is on the case!  Click for more information

 Leading Economic Indicators Rise in November

 
A sign that the world's largest economy will keep growing in early 2012.

Happy Post-Christmas!

Hopefully Santa was good to you, but just in case he didn't give you the right accessory in order to look all Boulder, Gucci has fanny packs.  Yes, that's right, Gucci.
 
 

  

 

 

Star Trek Manual

Oh, and that Star Trek Owners' Manual I highlighted a few months ago?  I totally got it from my brother-in-law.  Geeks of the world unite!
