Current Issue - February 2012

As we delve into the new year, I'd like to take a look at four key components of financial and personal security. Given the progression of events in the new century, I've found that the personal and financial aspects of preserving wealth have taken on overlapping characteristics. This means that it is imperative now, more than ever, that we consider these as contenders for building and protecting our wealth here at Intelligence Report. With that said, my plan is to help you become familiar with each over the next few months, as I'll likely issue new recommendations in these sectors by year-end. More >>

Question
An IR subscriber Asks:

My portfolio has done quite well over the last three years, but I'm at a loss as to when to sell any of the stocks. Do you ever make sell recommendations for individual stocks, and if so where would I find this info?

Answer
Dick Says:

It is not often that I make an outright sell recommendation in Intelligence Report. If I do make a sell recommendation you will find it in the text of my monthly report. I make investments with the intention of holding long-term, and I advise the same approach for you. If I delete a stock from my Monster Master List, it is usually to make room for a new name, not because I believe the stock should be sold. Most often, you will do just fine, long-term, with the names I delete from my Monster Master List.
