Apparently, with all of her ‘great’ stock market & investment advice, she does not even invest in stocks herself. The interview had some intersting things about her own investments. She has less than 1/2 of 1% of her over million of assets in stock! She says that she primarily buys zero coupon munis. And will even chose a lower rate to get AAA ratings.

Now, I dont knock anyone on personal investment choices, but she is fair game as she is supposed to be a fianancial advisor & has repeatedly told her followers, that you need aggressiveness in your portfolio & you should have a certain % of assets in stock. But she has the portfolio of a 85 year old widow taking care of orphans! The article states that she has never realy owned much stocks.

Dont get me wrong, I think she does a half decent job helping folks on her show, but she doesnt even follow her own advice & is called a guru. & I am not bashing her b/c she is a woman. I like some of her advice. Thoughts?
ralphcoder:
million is less than 1/2 of 1% of million. The article states that, she said she has about million in real estate & about mill in stocks. Yes, mill is a large amount, but not relatively speaking. Also, she is not an analyst, but an advisor, that is a big difference. & your lunch money is safe (today)– I have no where near that amount to invest. I guess my point is, she does not use her own advice to make money, & that is HOW she makes money, by giving advice to others on investing. Kind of hypocritical. I feel its like taking military advice by someone who has read a book about it, but never actually had any experience in it. (That was NOT a Bush joke)

I got it from MSN Money central in the commentary tab today. The article was talking about the NY Times article over the weekend. Maybe she did say that in the Journal, but they did not mention that in this article.

OOps! even I had to give you thumbs up for that! My bad math! LOL. But my point still stands. she has less than 4% invested.

Usually before the market opens CNN publishes an article on how they expect the market to open.

For example, one day they may say that stocks are set for a mixed open, and another time they may say that stocks are set to jump.

I know it’s just a forecast, but what data do they use for this?

Thanks.
