God’s Not Dead
Last week, my wife and I went to see the movie, “God’s Not Dead.” We found that the film dealt with a lot of issues that are very “real-life.” I won’t tell about the film because you might be planning to see it.

Another Angle on the “Value” of Balance Sheet Investing
Most stock market participants don’t give much attention to the equity of a company, found on its balance sheet, when it comes to setting a value for the company through the present stock price. This is amazing to me since a share of stock represents a share of company equity.

No Place for Worldly Prosperity Doctrine in Christian Faith
I wrote a post back in October titled “Faith, Money and Investing in Stocks.”In that piece, I expressed that sometimes it seems that money can be an uncomfortable topic among Christians. We have all witnessed times when men and women have used God’s name to further personal worldly financial agendas. Also, we hear of some who profess faith in Christ today and preach that God wants everyone to be prosperous financially.

Some Q & A (Part III)
I received a very nice note from Joe at my website recently. I’m including the following excerpt in this post. Joe wrote, “What you have also done though is opened my eyes to use this (Adjusted Floor Price Scorecard) for dividend-paying stocks. As you said in your book, the momentum money has piled into these stocks creating a mismatch between adjusted floor price and price today. With that being said, I still see application where I get ‘CONTINUE’ for ‘Liquidity’ and for ‘Solvency’ (from your Scorecard, parts A and B).”
Joe asks, “Do you have any suggested applications of your (Scorecard) spreadsheet to large-cap dividend-paying stocks?”
Joe asks a great question. I’ll respond to Joe’s specific question toward the end of this post but first I’ll use the essence of his question to hone in on my Adjusted Floor Price Scorecard further. Please note that the discussion here will only make sense if you have read my book, Choose Stocks Wisely, and sought to apply the Adjusted Floor Price Scorecard, revealed and explained in the book.

Investing in Times Like These
I was speaking at a civic club the other day about my book, “Choose Stocks Wisely: A Formula That Produced Amazing Returns.” During the Q and A time, I received a question that I’ve received before. The question probed at what my thoughts are toward investing in stocks amidst a backdrop of great financial uncertainty in our nation today.

Is Investing in Stocks Gambling?
Observing the investing behavior of my parents while I was growing up, I came to think that investing in anything other than a certificate of deposit (CD) was too risky. In fact, during my youthful years, I embraced the notion that people who invested in the stock market were gambling.
Later on, it occurred to me that all publicly-traded corporations are owned my stockholders. If the corporations had no stockholders, there would be no corporations. This would mean the absence of jobs and collapse of the economy. Well, if investing in stocks is actually gambling, it would not take long before corporations would cease to exist because there would be fewer and fewer people who would be willing to gamble away their hard-earned money.
