Long-time readers of ITA Wealth Management note we are paying more attention to portfolio risk and the volatility of individual securities than we did when this blog first started. Below is an example of why this is an important concept to consider when managing a portfolio. This basic idea is discussed in Chapter 8 of […]
Forum: How To Use It Efficiently
I’ll be the first to admit the Forum is not all that easy to use, but I have yet to find anything superior that integrates easily with WordPress, the software that is the operating system of this and many other blogs. Here are my suggestions of how to best use the Forum. On the Home […]
Debunking Dividend Fallacies
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
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
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.

Grigory Sokolov performing 24 Chopin Preludes Martha Argerich Plays Chopin Here is one five star Amazon review of the second recommendation. “Five BRILLIANT Stars! True Argerich Chopin treasures from the Deutsche Grammophon vault celebrating The Frédéric Chopin Year! To hear Martha Argerich play […]
How Much Are You Leaving With Your Financial Advisor?
Spurred by this Seeking Alpha article, I decided to check the calculations and run an analysis on my own where the fees are not as high and the return is more in line with what one might expect over the next ten to fifteen years. After checking the Seeking Alpha author figures I found […]
Christmas Music Recommendations for 2015
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 […]
