/creating demand on “good companies” is minor compared to their affect
on companies struggling.

Even still, keep it a free market sans naked shorting.

who founded one of the worlds largest furniture retailers during a time
when Sweden was deeply “socialist” (such a misuse of the word) and today
though retired, is still a part of this company. IKEA.

I just found this blog (sad for me that I did not find you earlier).
Very well written and I think it offers much for the average
individual investor.

Agree completely that stockbroker or investment advisor cannot offer
such great information – or else they be too wealthy do what they do.

I note that the first commenter above says he doesn’t understand some
of what you talk about. I’m sure that’s especially true of selling
puts. Just want to let you know that a specialize in teaching
rookies all about options – especially on using them conservatively.
I stress risk management and always invest with limited losses.

I’m not a novice, and still I’m befuddled.

I hear you like to invest in new inventive Ideas. Well I am with a fairly new company who sells a lollipop that assists in weight loss. I know who would have thought of a lollipop, a candy that makes you lose weight!?
Well this company in just four (4) years has sold over 17 Million pops and has just been listed as the #2 weight-loss breakthough buy Womans’s World Magazine. Our marketing scheme is strictly word of mouth. We have done no advertising, but have been listed in Magazines and News shows accross the nation. Currrently we are looking for investors or even possibly a sale. If there is an interest please contact me j.c.hawksworth@gmail.com

When you sold your business if I recall you took $100 a share and it ran to $160 thereafter. Can’t remember the exact wording but folks were asking if you were angry about your decision. Your comment was something like I walked away with a heck of a lot of money … and that you were not angry at all.

A couple lessons of wisdom all market investors/traders need to understand. #1 Market movements will many times go a lot further than you could ever anticipate (both up and down). #2 You don’t have to sell at the top or buy at the bottom to make things work.

Mark, from reading your blogs over the years it is clear you both buy and sell (short) the market. Most traders/investors are only comfortable buying. Its my opinion if you can’t both buy and sell without anxiety, that person belongs in certificates of deposit.
