Comments

I’d like to welcome everyone to the Carnival of Investing #53. This Tuesday will mark the first anniversary of the Carnival of Investing. Have a little cake and blow out the candles while you ponder these articles.

Editor’s Picks

  • Investing 101 - Free Money Finance reminds us that the financial media has to revamp itself - come up with something new to say. The more you read, the more you realize it’s about the basics. Catch up those basics here.
  • Investing 201 - Silicon Valley Blogger at The Digerati Life picks up where Free Money Finance leaves off by providing specific investment ideas and advice. I happen to have VTI myself, so that scored some editor brownie points.
  • Entrepreneurialism - Hedge Fund Domain finds a great idea - a television network catering to the rich on vacation. If you want to be in the Editor’s Picks, mention the New England Patriots. I’m that easy.
  • Personal Development - Paul’s Tips gives a great overview of focusing and maximizing on your hourly wages.

How-to Guides

International Plays

Company-Specific Commentary

  • The Dividend Guy reminded me something that I’ve forgotten for a few years… General Electric has raised their dividend once again. They’ve got quite a streak going.
  • Big Cajun Man seems excited about an announcement by Bell Canada. I’m always a big fan of simplifying a company’s operations.
  • Michael Guzzo the Contrarian is taking advantage of South Street Financial Corporation going private. I don’t have a lot of experience buying companies going private, but you’d think that it would lead to great return as they need to buy back those shares.
  • Leon at Sox First gives us an update on the HP pretexting scandal. It seems like it’s been awhile since CNBC covering it - for awhile it was daily news - all day every day.
  • Professor Bainbridge brings up a great point on Investment Banker salaries. I’ve always thought that some IPOs seemed to be priced ridiculously low. To me, it seems like it should be more of an auction format.
  • Digitial Breakfast gives a very thorough breakdown of ChipMOS Technologies. Unfortunately, while I was reading it, I couldn’t get the fact that they are based in Bermuda out of my head. Seems like a good company to work for.
  • Stock Market Beat asks Is Dell Cooking the Books?. It’s interesting to note that author declares he is short Dell with some put options. (Ed. Update… Trent says he is “short the put options.” which is actually a long position.  See more explanation in the comments.  And this is just another great example of why you don’t see a lot of options analysis on Lazy Man and Money.)
  • Daily Dose of Optimism mentions why he’s keep an eye on Pre-Paid Legal, a great idea that I didn’t know about.
