Learning From the 2008 Market Debacle
This is a follow-up to a 1/19/09 article in which I took Morningstar to task for its January 16 article, Our Biggest Mistakes of 2008. I suggested that Morningstar’s list may have omitted its biggest mistake: too much youth. All seven of the errors cited by Morningstar struck me not...

GE? Too Pedestrian for Me
It’s long been easy to tell favorable stories about General Electric GE. During the 1990s, this seemed to be everybody’s favorite stock given the cult of popularity surrounding former CEO Jack Welch. Successor Jeff Immelt has never garnered anything close to that...

Happy Anniversary... Sort of
It’s been about a year since the stock market fell off the cliff and every strategy seemed to go bad. Can we finally put that to rest and go back to modeling? The late-2008 stock-market collapse was pretty bad, especially last October. We all know that. But...

Beware of GAAP Again
When times are tough investors and members of the financial media love to bash analysts and corporate executives, especially when it comes to issues relating to accounting.

Are the Basic Principles Still Relevant?
Why did Lehman LEH fail? Why are we having a financial crisis? Is it overuse of exotic derivatives, structured products, and so forth, as many commentators have been saying? I doubt it. Exotics or not, if you lend a ton of money to people who can't pay it back (or...
