By Will Ashworth | April 23, 2008

If you want to receive my analysis, simply go to this link and sign up for the RSS feed for Stock Analysis. That […]

Celebrity Wine For A Good Cause
By Will Ashworth | April 4, 2008
Fortune Magazine ran a story a couple of days ago about Charity Wines, a wine business raising charitable funds for celebrity causes. It caught my attention. On the surface, it doesn’t seem like anything out of the ordinary; celebrities endorse products all the time. Rarely are they successful. In this instance, what intrigued me the […]

Waste no more
By Will Ashworth | February 24, 2008
My wife and I live in an apartment. I’ve often wondered if an indoor composting device exists, that allows for the disposal of food and dairy waste. I hate the idea of it all going to a landfill as most of the garbage in our area does. Then my usual email from Daily Candy arrived […]

Is the ING Streetwise Fund truly streetwise?
By Will Ashworth | February 11, 2008
Below is a copy of the email I sent to a few friends this afternoon. In it, I question the veracity of ING Direct’s marketing materials with respect to their new Streetwise Fund, launched in early January. Generally, ING does a good job simplifying financial concepts so that Canadians understand what point the company is […]

Buckle does it again
By Will Ashworth | February 7, 2008
I wrote two posts in September and November about the Nebraska specialty retailer. Both pieces pleaded with investors to give Buckle (BKE) a chance. Like clockwork, after each story, the stock fell dramatically, as if the markets were conspiring against the teen retailer. Well, today the company may have got the last laugh, rising $4.55 […]

Everyday Investing – What is it and how can you profit?
By Will Ashworth | January 24, 2008
Everyday Investing is similar yet different to the Peter Lynch theory of stock picking. Nineteen years ago, he wrote an investment classic “One Up on Wall Street” which became an overnight success. I can remember taking it with me on vacation to Mexico and reading it in one day. It was so fascinating that my […]

Callaway wins big in 2007
By Will Ashworth | January 17, 2008
In a day that saw the markets pummeled, a supposedly down-and-out golf stock was one of the biggest gainers, up 11.76 percent on five times the average daily volume. Callaway (NYSE:ELY) made headlines announcing sales and earnings for the latest fiscal year would meet or beat analysts’ earnings expectations. In fact, Wachovia even upgraded the […]

Reflections 2007
By Will Ashworth | December 31, 2007
The end of the year is here – once again – having passed far too quickly. 2007 is in the books and our memories, both good and bad, fade into the background as we make our way into 2008 and beyond.
For me personally the year has not been without its’ difficulties. The first half of […]

Rock Your Stock portfolios continue to outperform the markets
By Will Ashworth | December 17, 2007
On August 2, I wrote a post on my Facebook page updating the performance of the four Rock Your Stock portfolios I put together in April. At the time, one was way up on the Wilshire 5000 with the other three slightly lagging the index. I was certainly happy with those numbers. Fast forward four […]

Vegetarians will love Bacon Salt
By Will Ashworth | November 19, 2007
This morning I got my usual e-mail from Daily Candy. The subject today, a new product called Bacon Salt from a couple of techies in Seattle. Justin and Dave (no last names given) came up with the idea while traveling on business. They both loved the taste of bacon but instinctively knew that eating bacon […]
