Wrong About Dendreon

Posted on August 1, 2012 by Tom Trimbath

I was wrong about DNDN. I invested in Dendreon by buying shares of DNDN because I thought the company had a good chance of succeeding with their prostate cancer treatment (Provenge). The last time I looked, DNDN was down over … Continue reading →

My inner editor wants to hold off on this post for another month. It would so much neater to file a jobs report on month 9, and then a quarter later on month 12. Besides, I’d rather report on cheery … Continue reading →

In The First Place

Posted on July 21, 2012 by Tom Trimbath

In the first place, God created – wait a minute. That’s not how it started. (But it is an excuse to have a hyperlink to the Vatican, a first for me.) As a prelude to the August self-publishing workshop the … Continue reading →

Semi Annual Exercise Mid 2012

Posted on June 30, 2012 by Tom Trimbath

Well, these last twelve months have certainly been a surprise and upsetting. Fortunately, by conducting these semi-annual portfolio exercises I can check back and know how the story changed.

Posted on May 19, 2012 by Tom Trimbath

Facebook (FB) has a $100,000,000,000 market cap? In so many ways that doesn’t make sense to me. People are expecting great things from them. That’s the nature of investing. Investing is about expectations. Use the past to extrapolate from the … Continue reading →
