"Save regularly and consistently."
" Aside from over-paid CEO's, an overweight population, oil prices and real-estate prices, my main concern for the next 10 years for the markets is that, in the Information age, the markets are getting too efficient, creating lost opportunities in which to make serious money, but we still will always have Fear and Greed to help us out."
" A large market crash is what rich people (or soon to be rich people) wait and dream for ... as long as they know what to do when it comes and have the financial education and resources to take advantage of it." -Douglas Hughes, 1999

bank newsletter is the best money that I have spent in a long-time.
I have owned regional bank stocks but lacked the skills to
find good stocks like you do. With the high prices your job
must be difficult.
In any case thanks for the great advice. "

The Small Bank Newsletter is now the top performing market newsletter in both batting-average
performance and portfolio-gain performance
as rated by SEI. We were right 89.87% of the

Small
banks are prime takeover targets, pay strong cash dividends, have
low downside risk and are simply great businesses that make money.
Congratulations!
