« Previous EntriesBlogging returns in earnest
Thursday, December 11th, 2008I’m back! After a blog sabbatical of almost eight months, I’ve rededicated myself to the act of blogging at Ashworth Information. I’ll still be writing at Investopedia so my fingers should get quite a workout in the coming months. If anyone has any questions or suggestions, feel free to email them and I’ll get back […]
Will Ashworth Now Writing Stock Analysis Daily At Investopedia
Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008Hi All:
I haven’t posted much lately because I’ve been getting used to writing daily stock analysis at Forbes Media’s Investopedia site. I’m not a very speedy typer. However, we’re getting along just fine.
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
Friday, April 4th, 2008Fortune 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
Sunday, February 24th, 2008My 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?
Monday, February 11th, 2008Below 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
Thursday, February 7th, 2008I 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?
Thursday, January 24th, 2008Everyday 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
Thursday, January 17th, 2008In 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
Monday, December 31st, 2007The 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
Monday, December 17th, 2007On 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 […]
