  • Investment Performance Analysis Using the Working Capital Asset Allocation Model
    Every December, with visions of sugarplums dancing in their heads, investors begin to scrutinize their performance, formulate couldas and shouldas, and determine what to try next year. It's an annual, masochistic, right of passage. My year-end vision is different.
  • Income Investing - Why Isn't This Easy?
