in
We are nearly at the end of 2011 and another year of mayhem behind. We will be judging our 2011 Non-Predictions and trying to dream up some new ones for 2012 in the next fortnight or so but this week we have been able to get some long needed admin done.

in
Twenty years after the Soviet collapse, leaders of the five Central Asian republics have built functioning states but they have yet to fully implement democratic reforms, decentralize and share power, and develop strong intraregional relations.

The Dogs of the Dow Crush It In 2011; The 2012 List

December 28th, 2011
in
The "Dogs of the Dow" strategy is one of the simplest investment practices around.  At the start of the year, investors simply buy an equal-weighted basket of the ten highest yielding stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average.  The basket of ten stocks is then replaced each year with the new set of high yielders.
