Can passive index fund investing be the new sugar?

Read Now
 
Passive index fund investing is arguably the most well-accepted wisdom of modern day finance. No one is smart enough to buy low and sell high consistently. And, all you need is to believe in capitalism and put your money in an index fund that is representing the overall market, and that's the winning formula.

That's the proven formula of wealth. Or, is it?

Borrowing some wisdom from the nutrition and health industry, some times things that are deemed to be not so good for you now were once considered healthy. Sugar was once considered a medicine, and we now have started a  war against it.

Can passive index fund investing be the new Sugar?

Moore's Law can be dead, but the investing party must go on!

Read Now
 
The first time I heard NVIDIA's CEO saying that Moore's Law is dead, I was confused! How can Moore's Law be Dead? How is it possible that we can imagine a future with chips and semiconductors in everything we own and use, from the packaging of the food we eat to the clothing we wear? And, at the same time, say Moore's Law is dead. More importantly, if Moore's Law is dead, does it mean Semiconductor stocks and companies are dead too? As an investor, how can we stop mourning the death of Moore's law and instead celebrate it? Or, the question we'd want to answer is how do we invest in the semiconductor sector in the post-Moore's Law era?

We are going to hear from a well-known physicist, Nvidia CEO, Xilinx CEO, AMD's CTO and even Alphabet's chairman and dig deep into the technology that is emerging to continue to increase computation speed, and of course, we do all that in order to discover companies and stocks that are leading the post Moore's Law era and maybe are good additions to our investment portfolios.

Moore's Law can be dead, but the investing party must go on!​

Is Apple really the new IBM?

Read Now
 
What do Apple and IBM have in common? Well, in the past few years, the media is beating a new drum roll. It's not so much about IBM. Instead, it is about how Apple - once an arch enemy of IBM - is now morphing into a modern-day IBM. Considering the recent disappointing iPhone sales and the lack of any significant innovation by Apple in the past years, is it fair to assume that Apple is the new IBM and is destined for the same fate? We are going to hear what Tim Cook had to say, explore Warren Buffett's point of view on both companies and dig deep into the state of affairs at IBM of 2013 vs. Apple of 2019.
