What I consider to be good Christmas music is somewhat limited. Christmas “musac” played in many department stores this time of year are definitely second tier selections in my book. I was looking over some of my past recommendations and I see where those blog posts were not widely read. Here are references to some […]
Risk Management
Although we regularly emphasize the importance of Risk Management on this site I often worry that members may feel that we do not provide definitive solutions as to how this should be achieved, despite the fact that we make available tools such as the position sizing spreadsheet. The reason for this is that there is […]
Another Reason To Prefer ETFs Over Mutual Funds
ETFs Preferred Over Mutual Funds If you hold mutual funds in a taxable account be prepared to get hit with a sizable tax bill even if you never sold any funds. In an article in the Sunday Oregonian it was reported that some funds are declaring a capital gains distribution that could amount to as […]
Tree of Life Music
Last evening I watched Terrence Malick’s philosophical film with my wife. The visual images and background music are stunning. Here is a link to the music from the film. Much of this music was familiar, but there were many pieces new to me, or at least I do not have them among my collection. I […]
And Winter Came by Enya: CD Recommendation for 22 November 2015
Sundial Bridge – Redding, California And Winter Came by Enya is the CD recommendation for the week. I looked for Thanksgiving music but was unable to find a complete album of music I thought would meet a certain standard so I am going with And Winter Came. While this is classified as a Christmas album, […]

Lyrics by Eric Clapton Holy mother, where are you? Tonight I feel broken in two I’ve seen the stars fall from the sky […]
Beethoven’s Concertos 1 – 4 Featuring Stephen Kovacevich
While there are numerous recordings of Beethoven’s five concertos, this particular recording on Phillips comes highly recommended. While it does not include my favorite, the fifth concerto, these four are outstanding, particularly the fourth. Rather than take my recommendation, search for some of the top recordings and if possible, add Concerto #5 as it is […]
Leo Kottke, Berlioz, Boito, and Verdi: CD Recommendations For Week
This week I am making two music recommendations, and one actually includes three classical composers. First, the non-classical recommendation. As a very different recommendation I am suggesting readers check out Leo Kottke’s “Instrumentals: Best Of The Capitol Years.” Looking over my star ratings, most are listed at four stars and higher. One cut is included, […]
Govi: CD Recommendation for Last Week in October
As we complete the last week in October, Govi’s “Andalusian Nights” is an outstanding CD to welcome the month of November. This CD is filled with wonderful guitar music. Amazon Recommendation: “I first heard this album at a HIGH END audio store in Costa Mesa, CA. The sales person used it as a demo to […]
Ancient Echoes: Russian Choral Music
Several years ago a close relative gave me Ancient Echoes as a gift and I’ve treasured this rich music ever since. I likely would have missed this CD had it not been a gift. It is one I highly recommend you add to your collection, particularly if you enjoy inspiring choral music. Here are two […]
