A MUST WATCH VIDEO OF BUFFETT… THESE ARE THE BEST PARTS… 25.28 28.45 33.45 35.30 54.28 55.50 57.00 1.00.50
New York, NY (PRWEB) October 19, 2005
Clear Asset Management LLC (ClearAM), an asset management and equity research firm, today announced its one-year anniversary of managing money and reported annual returns after fees of more than double that of the S&P 500.
Founded in 2004 by Andrew Corn, a former senior vice president of TheStreet.com, and Dr. Daniel A. Nathanson, a former professor of NYU’s Stern School of Business, the company invests solely on recommendations made by its custom-designed computerized investing programs that screen, evaluate, rank and weight stocks. The screens and algorithms are based on a combination of academic studies and in part on the reverse engineering of equity holdings of legendary investors like Peter Lynch and Warren Buffett.
“ClearAM’s performance is impressive by any measure, but particularly in light of the difficult investing environment we’ve witnessed over the past year. The consistency of the portfolios’ performance is a testament to Clear’s analytical rigor and systematic approach to investing,” says Roger Ehrenberg, ClearAM’s original seed investor and early investor in each of ClearAM’s six stock market portfolios. Ehrenberg, a 17-year Wall Street veteran, most recently served as the CEO of DB Advisors, LLC, the multi-billion dollar hedge fund subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG. Ehrenberg is currently a Managing Director with the New York-based venture firm Geometric Group, LLC.
“We are pleased that investors are showing a vote of confidence in our rational, unconflicted approach,” says Andrew Corn, ClearAM CEO. “The number of investors using our services and the number of inquires has exceeded our expectations,” says Corn, noting that ClearAM only opened its portfolios to outside investors in July 2005 but today manages assets numbering in the millions of dollars.
Investors, brokers and institutions can take advantage of ClearAM’s investment strategies by investing in one or more of the firms’ six stock market portfolios for a sliding scale fee based on asset size or by purchasing its recommendations by subscribing to its research and portfolios.

The Story of Joseph Kennedy
Joseph Kennedy was a stock market investor in the late 1920′s. One day, in the Summer of 1929, he overheard an elevator boy boasting about how much money he had made in the stock market. Joseph Kennedy reasoned that if totally-uneducated low-income employees have now been attracted to the stock market, then the prices must be at their all-time highest. So, he raced to the floor of the stock exchange and famously yelled: SELL! For months, his friends laughed at him as prices kept rising and rising and rising. Then, one day, October 29, 1929, the market crashed. Joseph Kennedy and his family were safe. They had no money whatsoever in the market.
Joseph Kennedy waited. Prices fell. He waited. Prices fell. Then, one day, in 1932, a full three years later, he bought a chain of department stores at 5¢ on the dollar. He bought the real estate, the buildings, the inventory, the goodwill – everything at a 95% discount. He then parlayed that brilliant purchase into a fortune that spawned a political dynasty of famous and politically successful Kennedy’s, including one President John Kennedy. His wealth and his influence will last for centuries – because he had the courage to go against the conventional wisdom. He played the INNER game instead of just reading the newspaper headlines.
Joseph Kennedy SOLD when everyone was buying. Then, he BOUGHT when the Depression was at its very worst. He made a gigantic fortune BECAUSE of The Great Depression. We are not in a Depression now, but we are in a serious Recession. And, you can make your fortune right now – BECAUSE of the Recession.
The story of Warren Buffett
For years, Mr. Buffett was the greatest stock market investor of all time. Indeed for almost four decades. However, in September of 2008, something amazing happened. A sudden shock to the financial markets occurred in which several banks failed, banks which had been around for over a 100 years. Banks which had survived a decade of The Great Depression. They failed. Huge financial organizations failed. The Big Three Auto Manufacturers are on the verge of failing. And, the headlines screamed all this bad news. In the midst of this whirlwind of disaster, Warren Buffett was quoted in gleefully exclaiming: “I’ve been waiting for this day for ten years!” Warren Buffet knew the secret – that the flip side of financial disaster is gigantic opportunity.
What both Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Buffett have taught us with their actions is that it is NOW the time to seize opportunities. Right now. What others call a “lousy” economy, the wisest businessmen know is the greatest opportunity. Seize it!!

This is NOT a political article. Whether you like Obama or not, whether you voted for Obama or not – there is a lesson to learn. Please note that this is NOT a children’s tale. Whether you believe in Superman or not – there is a lesson to learn.
Please note that this is not a primer on the stock market. Whether you invest in the stock market or not – there is a lesson to learn.
Let’s Begin With Warren Buffett There is at least ONE idea which you share with the Greatest Investor of all Time.
Let’s look at this ONE idea you share: BUY LOW SELL HIGH.
When times are terrible, Warren Buffett buys. He not only SAYS “Buy Low Sell High”, he actually DOES it.
You KNOW “Buy Low Sell High”, the purpose of this article is to make you look at whether you BELIEVE it and are prepared to actually DO something about it.
Prices are LOW only when there is a problem. Wise investors look at the low prices and decide to:
-feel good; and
-invest at the wondrously low prices.
People who are simply frightened by headlines and get scared:
-feel bad; and
-see only the problem not the low prices.
So, what do you and Warren Buffett have in common? Both you and he know the rule: “Buy Low Sell High”. Warren Buffet invests when prices are low. Will you follow his lead and be happy now that prices are low or will you see only the problem and get scared?
Maybe you’ve already got scared. Well, let me confess that I too got scared and did not know what to do for a brief while in September 2008 when the markets began to crash. But, I quickly remembered what I already knew and what Warren Buffett is a model of – Buy Low Sell High.
I am not asking you to necessarily buy stocks, mutual funds, real estate, etc. right now. But, I sure am asking you to feel GREAT that the economy is poised to rise spectacularly from these current depths. NOW is the time to feel great. NOW is the time to get ready for great investment deals. NOW is when the greatest opportunities arise.
Now, Let’s Look at Obama and Superman Obama is not Superman. Don’t waste your time waiting for him to fly in to save you. Some think that Obama will be a great President; others think he will fail. Some think Obama has valid financial ideas; others do not. Regardless, he is the President and he will do what he does.
That’s the point. He will do what he does and he will NOT fly into your home to save you. There is only one person who has that job – YOU.
Obama feels that YOU are Superman, certainly not himself. He knows he is not Superman. But, one wonderful aspect of Obama’s character is that he definitely knows that YOU are the one who can save yourself. You are the one who can rise above your current situation. You are the one who can learn your lessons and become greater than you currently are.
One of my favourite Obama quotes is: CHANGE DOES NOT COME FROM WASHINGTON, CHANGE COMES TO WASHINGTON. Metaphorically, he means that only YOU can being change to yourself, to the nation, and to the world. Start with yourself.
How Can You Begin Becoming Your Own Superman, Your Own Warren Buffett It is your job to not only KNOW the slogan “buy low sell high”; rather it is your job now to DO “buy low sell high”. Notice what GOOD investments are absurdly low right now and then grab them instead of being afraid like everyone else.

Is it possible to double or even triple your money with stocks? If so how do you go about doing it?
In order to know how to find stocks which will double your money you need to know how not to go about looking for stocks. Do not pick stocks based solely on price. Sounds obvious right? If you said no you may need to read this article a few times to let the news sink in.
When you go to the supermarket you don’t just buy the cheapest products, you buy products to fulfil a purpose, ones you can rely on.
Investing in stocks is a little similar. Companies are valued according to what the market believes they are worth and that is reflected in their share price. Also, the investor needs to factor in the number of shares available in a company. Some companies issue millions more shares than others so this may dilute their price.
The real key on how to find stocks which will double your money is to delve into the past, present and future of the company, looking into their accounts and crunching the numbers until you can find out if their stock is overpriced or under priced. Warren Buffett also likes to look at a company’s management, a good idea considering he’s the father of investing.
The bottom line is if you pick stocks at random you are tied to the vagaries of the market. The problem is years of research won’t guarantee you’ll be more successful than a teenager who picked stocks at random.
That’s why I use a different system to pick my stocks and make my money. If you want to know how to find stocks which will double your money you could look into what I do below.
Find out how you can DOUBLE, even triple your money with a tiny investment of less than $100

The Stock Market has Fallen
Yes, that is true. Everyone is frightened of the stock market right now. Yes, that is true also
Newspapers are filled with stories of stock investors getting wiped out. Yes, retirement saving plans have fallen enormously. But, all these are actually positives not negatives! It is precisely because everyone is frightened that there are few to nil buyers. So, what can a seller do? A seller has only one option: lower and lower and lower the selling price, hoping for a buyer.
Stock owners who wish to sell are struggling and hoping and praying. Such a climate is perfect for buyers.
What are rich people doing right now?
Rich people are buying stocks right now. There is little to no competition so they are sometimes the only bidder, especially if it is a thinly traded stock.
Prices are low. Benefits are huge.
When a Dividend is declared, it is denominated in dollars. When the stock price suddenly falls, the dividend stays the same — and the percent return of that same dividend just sky-rocketed up. Here’s an example. A $100 stock which offers a measly $2 dividend creates a 2% annual return for you. When the stock plummets to $40, that same $2 dividend is suddenly a 5% return.
Sellers are actually totally grateful for any bid, any bid at all. Last month, I chose a new stock broker and sent him a very large check. This is what Warren Buffett is doing too. He is taking his cash assets and converting them to equities. Right now. When everyone else is frightened.
Change your thinking. This is the exact time to buy stocks.

In today’s Wall Street Journal (July 8, 2009) there is a wonderful article written by James B. Stewart, “A (Covered) Call For Caution On the Market”.
His trading wisdom is a practical breath of fresh air to an overextended market. Stewart says at the end of his article,
“To me selling covered calls is a good lesson in curbing greed. If a stock on which I have sold calls continues to rise, I still make money, even if it’s not quite as much as I would have by simply owning the shares”. He continues, “If I can’t tolerate earning a good profit just because I could have made even more, then something is wrong”.
If the greatest obstacle to profitable investing are allowing “fear and greed” to influence our investment decisions, then initiating a life-long covered call program for our retirement accounts will doubled our odds of profitable investing over a lifetime.
If we can reduce losses because we became too greedy during times of economic excess, then we are well on our way to eliminating the emotional paralysis near market bottoms. Paralysis caused by fear because we’re trying to time the market and pick a bottom.
Covered call writing essentially pays us huge cash premiums to wait out market turmoil found near the lows. Heck, even Warren Buffett sees covered call writing as essentially the same as collecting insurance premiums. While his time horizons are 10 or 15 years out, the basics are still the same.
Don’t let fear stop you from educating yourself about covered call writing. Don’t let the fear of missing the big rally (or is it greed?) stop you from doing covered calls in your accounts. Taking a buy-and-hold approach to investing is a good thing, and using options on a portion of those same assets makes it a great thing.

Yes, Rich People know this secret and use this idea. Yes, it is very easy for them to do this. Yes, it is actually very easy for you to do this too.
In Fact, You Are Already Using This Powerful Tool and Don’t Even Know It! Find out exactly what this tool is that you are ALREADY USING without realizing it, so that you can use it with conscious awareness and DRAMATICALLY INCREASE YOUR INCOME, especially in this troubled economy!
What Is This Amazing Tool Which You Are Already Using? The answer is LEVERAGE
Barack Obama runs the whole country of United States. He can do that only because there are several million government employees doing little parts of his grand plan.
Warren Buffett can invest in great businesses because he has dozens of analysts constantly studying key financial indicators for a selected number of target public companies.
But, What Can I Do? I’m Just A Little Guy?
I can hear your comment now: “I’m just a little guy. I don’t have staff. I don’t have a team of analysts. I don’t employ millions of government employees. How does this article apply to me?!”
I am so glad you asked that question. Because …
Leverage not only Applies to You, You are Already Doing It! Every time a mother orders in dinner, she is leveraging the staff and products of a local pizza joint and the driver and car of the delivery service. That’s leverage. She did not have to make the meal herself to have a meal for her family.
Every time a couple with kids enjoys an evening out, they are leveraging the babysitting skills of a neighbour or family member. The couple does not have to simultaneously be out on a date and also at home parenting their children. They do not have to be at home to parent their children.
Every time a businessman hops into a taxi, he is leveraging the driving skills of a cabbie. The businessman does not have to simultaneously be thinking of his business deal and also driving the car.
How You Use Leverage To Make Money
Here is the key to the entire article …
1.Think of your job or business and the tasks you do in your workday life. Now, think of ways that others support you. What you notice will expand. If you want people to support you more, you simply first need to at least notice that they exist and are helping you. So, first notice many ways that others are helping you.
2.Think of tasks you do that you are not particularly good at. Imagine creative ways that those tasks might be able to be done by others (yes, even if you are an employee!!). Incorporate as much leverage as possible in your workday life.
3.Implement just one leverage. Get just one help in just one tasks from just one person. Start with one. Measure your success. Celebrate your success.
4.Then, find just one more way. That’s what I do. That’s what every successful person does. Now, you are doing it too!
Now It’s Your Turn
I have a double homework assignment for you. But, only if you wish to do it. There will be HUGE benefits to you if you choose to do it. Here goes …
HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT #1: Record 5 ways that you enjoy leverage in your life.
HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT #2: Think of a sweet way to acknowledge those people who are supporting you with their leverage. Why? You may wonder why you should thank those people if you are paying them already. Isn’t payment enough appreciation? I say NO. Payment is the mildest and most basic way to appreciate someone for helping you. But a smile, a card, a tip, a note, a flower, etc. (be creative and it does not need to cost much or even anything!). Record the ways to appreciate these wonderful people who are helping you.
I look forward to your comments. I look forward to your realizing all the wonderful ways that others are supporting you. Hey, that shirt you are wearing. Ever think of that shirt? You leveraged a seamstress, some machine workers, dye manufacturers, design geniuses, transportation companies, a retail store and all its staff and probably also a credit card company. Phew. And, you think you do everything on your own!!
