zack.miller@gmail.com (Zack Miller, Tradestreaming.com) — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 10:34:51 +0000

Risk is such a hard thing to define for investors. Simple questionnaires advisors use don't capture our real risk. Get risk wrong and the portfolio is wrong -- sometimes with disastrous results.

Investing with more return and less risk - with Lee Hull

zack.miller@gmail.com (Zack Miller, Tradestreaming.com) — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 12:09:30 +0000

As an investment advisor, Lee Hull's clients can't afford to have down years. They're retirees looking for steady income -- no matter what Mr. Market has to say about it.Where traditional advisors are willing to ride the market's ups-and-downs, Hull uses a different approach. His returns have trounced the markets while he puts less of his clients' capital at risk.Over the past 10 years where the markets have literally gone nowhere, Hull's investment firm has averaged over 8% per year (net of inflation!). That's pretty darn good but when you see that he was "only down" 9% in his largest losing year during the same time period, that should make you sit up and listen (if you're not already). On today's episode of Tradestreaming Radio., Hull shares much of his research and methodology with us.

zack.miller@gmail.com (Zack Miller, Tradestreaming.com) — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 09:58:48 +0000

Investors seem to be more focused on the short term than ever. You can credit hedge funds and institutional investors having to report performance on a monthly basis.

zack.miller@gmail.com (Zack Miller, Tradestreaming.com) — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 10:08:36 +0000

Every once in a while, you meet someone and you just look in the mirror and think: hey, I'm not worthy. What am I doing with my life? Today's guest Elie Ayache is part entrepreneur, part philosopher, and part technologist.
