What You Wanted to Know about Coronavirus Testing, But Were Afraid to Ask by, D.R. Barton, Jr.

May 14, 2020 / 12 minutes of reading / Leave a Comment

  “Testing.” It’s one of those words that have taken on very different meanings these past few months. It used to be a familiar word in my past life as a chemical engineer where I did plenty of “testing.” Testing chemicals for purity. Testing plant equipment to make sure it met specifications – which – also tested the patience of my co-workers… Like parents all over the country, I helped my children study for their “tests,” and have passed a fair few myself. And before I go full bore with …

Trade Through “Mindfulness” By Van K. Tharp, PhD

April 23, 2020 / 9 minutes of reading / Leave a Comment

  What would happen if you could just pay attention to what the market is doing right now? You’d be totally in the present with no preconceived ideas or biases to influence you. If you did that, your trading probably would accelerate to a new level. You can trade that way if you practice “mindfulness.” Short-term reactions to news tend to be large in bear markets; however, if you just watch what is going on, it is obvious. Most people have trouble with this. They can’t watch what is going …

Post-COVID – Investing In the Return to Normal by, D.R. Barton, Jr.

April 9, 2020 / 6 minutes of reading / Leave a Comment

  I’m really relieved to see the first signs of the slowing of the coronavirus in Europe. In the U.S., confirmed cases and deaths from the virus are growing more slowly. Many science and medical experts say that the social distancing and other mitigation measures are starting to work.

  In the spring of 2003, I was invited to visit John Martin, a close friend of mine and a good friend of the Van Tharp Institute.
