April 6, 2016 By Lowell Herr

With less than overwhelming requests for information on individual stocks, here is a basic sample of what can be accomplished by using a particular screen.  The following is known as the Josef Lakonishok screen and as the description implies, this is a value-momentum style screen.  Thirty (30) stocks made the cut from a list of […]

Music Recommendations For Easter

March 27, 2016 By Lowell Herr

Easter Music Selections St. Matthew Passion and St. John Passion are two pieces of music that quickly come to mind during this Easter season.  While the St. Matthew is the more popular with many listeners, my favorite is the St. John, as there are several familiar choruses.

Debunking Dividend Fallacies

February 19, 2016 By Lowell Herr

While I considered placing a reference to this dividend article in the Forum, I thought it sufficiently interesting to write a short blog on the subject.  Dividends Do Not Make Up The Majority Of Long-Term Total Returns is an old Seeking Alpha article that debunks what many Dividend Growth Investors (DGI) advocate.  While the article […]

Sing O Ye Heavens is Moravian music.  It is rare to find a CD where I rate 5 stars to nine (9) songs.  The artists are the Bach Festival Society of Winter Park.  Not only is the singing beautiful, but the under-girding orchestra will give your subwoofer a workout.

If you are not a fan of the oratory, I’m including […]
