LOTM would like to introduce a new service – it’s free.

What do the Gurus Think?

When I started in the stock business back in 1976, I did not know who to believe or not to believe. Everyone had his or her own opinion – often conflicting with the guidance, I had just heard from the person before the current speaker. Over my 35 years in the market, I have found some market people that I always listen to because I have seen their comments come to life more often than not. Yes – no one is perfect. But right more often than not is good.

LOTM will consolidate, as we find them, comments from these proven Guru’s. LOTM will keep to the stock, bond and commodities market but may occasionally stray into other topics. Words from people who have lived, experienced, survived and prospered are worthy of note.

Jun 7, 2011 – Hedge fund guru Barton Biggs says he’s continuing to find opportunities in the stock market right now, though he’s not too bullish on financials.

One area he likes: “older” tech stocks like Intel and Cisco, which he says are now “incredibly cheap”.
