The first of four not so easy pieces for rebalancing any portfolio but specifically my long-term 50 Stocks Portfolio
In an ideal world, every stock market trend--up, down, sideways--would begin on January 1 and end on December 31. That would make an annual rebalancing of any portfolio as easy as falling off a madly spinning log in a Canadian logging festival. Most market trends...
Apple AirPods wireless earphones sales expected to double in 2019
It sure doesn't hurt when your two biggest potential competitors miss the deadlines for holiday sales. Microsoft (MSFT) has delayed the launch of its Surface Earbuds to the spring of 2020, missing the 2019 holiday shopping season. Google (aka Alphabet) has been...

So how’s my “Tech is back” call (and picks of SWKS and CRUS) doing?
On October 8 I wrote "Tech is back" led by fact-based speculation that Apple (AAPL) had asked supplier to increase production of components for the iPhone 11 by 10%. That, obviously, was a good sign for Apple, which is set to announce earnings on October 30. And, I...
