I’m learning the hard way that trading to make money in the short term is far from easy.  I feel like I know about 20-33% of what I need to know.  That makes me feel really, really uneasy.  I feel decent analyzing companies for value and investing on a play that needs some time to [...]

I just finished pairing down my portfolio which means that I am selling off the terrible plays that I had a hard time letting go of. This will free up some cash to put into good companies and get away from these naive plays that I made when I first started investing. This [...]
