Let’s say you have a portfolio with equal dollar amounts in these six stocks: Chrysler, General Public Utilities, Pan American, Massey Ferguson, International Harvester, and White Motor. How do you think they would have performed between 1982 and 1993? Before you answer, here’s a clue: Both Pan American and White Motor go to zero. Put another way, one-third of your portfolio would become worthless. And here’s another clue: The S&P 500 would return 17% annually from 1982 to 1993. Given those two clues, do you think that six-stock portfolio beat the S&P 500? |

Most people have wardrobes with dozens of pants, shirts, and suits. But when you have lots of choices, dressing each morning takes time—even if you are an organization nut and have all your clothing sorted. PBRG founder Mark Ford says that’s time wasted.

Not only will it save you 10 to 15 valuable minutes every morning, it could reduce a bit of stress and eliminate the fear of having a bad clothing day. |

Only one person can have a job. “If it’s not you, what do you care if it goes to someone in Detroit or someone in Guadalajara?” According to Bill, that’s never been adequately explained. |

Now, he’s about to use his deal-making skills to rebuild America’s hollowed-out economy. The president-elect said he’d use tax cuts to convince U.S. companies stashing their cash abroad to bring it back. And you can bet there will be strings attached… Companies will likely have to put that money to work building, creating, and investing in their futures here at home… where the money came from in the first place. If that happens, certain infrastructure companies stand to see major increases in revenue. |
