Forum: How To Use It Efficiently

February 24, 2016 By Lowell Herr

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

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 […]

January 17, 2016 By Lowell Herr

In no particular order, here are a few of my top female singers.  These women were selected for both the quality of their voice and the type of music they sing.  As you can see, the range is from opera to country to popular to broadway. Katherine Jenkins Sarah Brightman Sissel Judy Collins K. D. […]

Revisiting The “Swensen Six” Portfolio

January 13, 2016 By Lowell Herr

January 10, 2016 By Lowell Herr

Chopin Preludes is the recommendation for this week.  I have two suggestions. 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?

December 17, 2015 By Lowell Herr

  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

December 13, 2015 By Lowell Herr

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 […]

Another Reason To Prefer ETFs Over Mutual Funds

December 7, 2015 By Lowell Herr

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 […]
