Beating the Dow With Bonds

April 8, 2016 By Lowell Herr

Several years ago I wrote a review of Michael O’Higgins book, Beating the Dow With Bonds.  O’Higgins made a name for himself with his Dogs of the Dow book.  Both systems are filled with errors.  The following review came to mind as I read Jim Sloan’s article, “Is The Traditional Asset Allocation Dead?” Here is […]

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. Most compositions of the “The Last Seven Words […]

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 […]

Music Recommendations: Two More CDs

February 7, 2016 By Lowell Herr

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. My second recommendation this week is […]

Mendelssohn’s Elijah and Eternity And A Day

January 31, 2016 By Lowell Herr

Mendelssohn’s Elijah is my primary classical music recommendation for this week.  Normally, I’m not a stickler for a particular rendition, but in this case I highly recommend you go with Robert Shaw.  In my mind, it is an outstanding recording of this melodious oratorio. If you are not a fan of the oratory, I’m including […]
