U.S. Federal Reserve Fraudulent Email Scam

Something to watch out for …

US-CERT is aware of public reports of a fraudulent email scam circulating via messages that falsely appear to be from the U.S. Federal Reserve. These email messages contain information about a phishing scam and links for users to follow to obtain additional information about the scam. If a user follows the links, they will be redirected to a malicious website where a PDF exploit is used to install malicious code on the affected system.

US-CERT encourages users to do the following to help mitigate the risks:

Top Dog Trading – Stock Market Research of Bear Markets

By Fundsoft on | 1 Comment

Here’s an interesting video I recently found on the history of the Dow Jones that’s worth watching.

Dr. Barry Burns (the author and narrator in the video) discusses:

This stock market has a lot of people pretty scared.

Is the current bear market unusual?
Are stocks doing something they’ve never done before?
How does the current stock market nose dive compare with bear markets of the past?

A little historical stock market research can reveal some very enlightening answers.

Will it give you comfort or make you more afraid?

Will This Be The Great Depression 2.0?: Part 1

After a couple days of rallying the market dropped again and Wall Street stocks suffered their worst day
since the 1987 stock market crash.

The sky is falling, there’s blood on the streets and you’re asking yourself is now the time to panic?

In response, David Jenyns put together a great video series that explains how today’s global financial crisis happened, and what to do about it.

Due to youtube.com limits he had to cut the video into 5 pieces – watch the first one below:

Warren Buffett On The Economic Crisis

By Fundsoft on | 1 Comment

David Jenyns posted this recent video where Charlie Rose interviews Warren Buffett on his take on the current economic crisis.

Warren Buffett is one of the world’s most successful investors and was ranked by Forbes as the richest man in the world during the first half of 2008, with an estimated net worth of $62 billion.

With such amazing success Buffet obviously knows his stuff.

Definitely worth watching …

Side note: Berkshire Hathaway recently posted its 3rd consecutive quarterly loss. Interestingly Buffett doesn’t seem worried about the losses. It may be because he’s cashed up and ready to purchase some bargains.
