One example is the notion that you should never try to catch a falling knife. #-ad_banner-#This makes sense from an investing standpoint, not just in your kitchen.

Learn more here… Just as you wouldn’t buy just anything you found in a clearance bin, you should never buy a stock solely because it’s cheap. Many stocks are cheap for a reason, and the market keeps these stocks at an almost-permanent mark-down because it knows, or senses, trouble. The numbers might say the stock is a bargain, but if no one else starts buying shares (pushing the stock’s price higher), you’ll never realize a profit on your “value” investment. Hence, the term “value trap.” Most of the time, there’s a good reason why everyone is avoiding these seemingly attractive stocks. The company might be in a declining industry… or… Read More

The prevailing sentiment among many investors and analysts alike was that paying dividends is the first sign that growth is over. #-ad_banner-#Guess what? It wasn’t. Then, there was that time when open source — including open source software for PCs — was on the verge of replacing Windows, Microsoft’s bread and butter. That was more than a decade ago. Open source — software written and contributed to by the community of developers — is alive and quite well, but so is Microsoft. MSFT has not become what it is now — one of the largest… Read More
