Flophouse News

A weekly roundup of investing news from the rags Poor Brother Tom uses to keep himself warm

Been awhile since we've heard any news around this joint. Been jonesin' to hear who's riding the rails and who's been sleeping off hangovers in the big house? Here's an extended edition to catch you up on all the news.

It's been two weeks since the last news, and hopefully you're not sleeping in the gutter yet. A lot has happened, and a lot is yet to come, in this poor brother's opinion.

Well, getting back into the swing of things here at Poor Brother Tom has been quite a hassle. And to boot, I haven't heard from Dave in more than a couple days – must be his little sprout finally, um, sprouted. Congratulations, if that's the case!

Anyway, on to the reinstitution of one of our regular weekly features: Flophouse News. Enjoy these investment-related news stories and blog posts from around the Web.

This week's Flophouse News is a day late, but not a dollar short, and while Poor Brother Tom is feeling a little dried out this morning, he hopes you'll sit back with a styrofoam cup of whatever gets you going in the morning and check out these bum-worthy articles and blog posts.

It is good to review your past trades and evaluate your moves with the benefit of hindsight. This is doubly true for trades in which you lost money. You need to be honest with yourself and identify any mistakes you may have made so you can correct them in the future. I'm going to go one better and periodically make one of my trade analyses public on this blog in (cue music and deep-voiced announcer: duh, Duh, DUH!) Anatomy of a Trade.

Here are some good stock-related news articles and blog posts from the past week that you won't want to miss.
