Two fundamental analysis systems that can be used to find great stocks.

Many companies became extinct in the 1930s, but the companies that survived helped to build the U.S. into the greatest industrial nation to date. It is surprising how many of our current U.S. companies were founded more than 150 years ago.

In my final column for Cabot Wealth Network, I reveal my stock pick for the next 50 years - one that could reach $1,000 in the next five years.

Market bottoms are a process; they don’t happen overnight. Even if last week turns out to be the market bottom, it’s unlikely the market will go straight up from here—we’re much more likely to see several more weeks or months of volatility, including multiple re-tests of the lows hit in the past two weeks.

Walgreen and General Motors should benefit from growing interest in electric vehicles.

Home Inns & Hotel Management is a growth-oriented stock in the travel sector.

A list of companies aiding in the relief effort that all have one thing in common.

My featured stock today is a restaurant chain that serves healthy food and has a healthy balance sheet. I featured Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) in the latest issue of my Cabot Benjamin Graham Value Letter.

The company, Chipotle Mexican Grill, develops and operates 886 restaurants in 33 states.

One question we’ve gotten a few times from readers is “I’m new to investing. How do I get started managing my money for the future?” It’s a basic question, and you’ll find answers all over the Internet, but ours has a little twist. Today’s Cabot Wealth Advisory will attempt to answer that question, so if you’re just starting out or if you want to take the time to regroup, especially in light of the recent market decline, this issue is for you. It’s never too late to start preparing, saving and investing for your future.

Two weeks ago, many of you kindly filled out a survey and, in doing so, asked several great investing questions, some of which I’m going to tackle today. I’ll touch on low-risk investment strategies for market downturns, high-yield investments, investments that will benefit from the economic stimulus package and the Green sector.

A lot has been written in previous Cabot Wealth Advisories about how to pick a growth stock. The advice from my fellow Cabot colleagues is sound and, when followed, will lead to exceptional returns. The editors of the growth-oriented Cabot letters know their stuff, and can produce performance numbers that prove it. But I like value stocks, and I believe that value stocks should be included in your portfolio. In my opinion, your portfolio should contain half value stocks and half growth stocks and should not contain 100% value or 100% growth stocks. Value investing, perhaps more than any other type of investing, is more concerned with the fundamentals of a company’s business rather than its stock price or market factors affecting its price.
