Forum Peeps,

Most personal finance and investing articles start to sound the same after a while, so when I find someone who writes about money, but is intelligent, fresh and funny, I try and share it.

I just got turned onto Andrew Tobia's blog.

if you don't know Tobias, he is a long time stock investor and writer. Tobias has written a couple of funny books including "Getting by on $100,000 per year" and "My Vast Fortune".

His blog is here => https://andrewtobias.com/

I'd give it a read if you get a chance. He's got solid investing ideas.

Seriously, you guys aren't following Andrew Tobias?

Here is some of the latest from his newsletter:

I bought more UNIT at $3.50 yesterday. The same caveats apply as before at $4.70, only now — if they can maintain it — the 60-cent dividend works out to a 17% yield. Raymond James issued a “strong buy” March 1 while lowering its price target from $12 to $8 because of the rise in interest rates. Here they offer a company overview. If inflation continues to ebb and interest rates edge down over the next couple of years, it should work out. If they rise, we could have a fat tax loss.

Another high-yielding speculation would be CHRB, senior notes geared to pay off their $25 face value in about three years . . . and promising 8.5% a year on that face value in the meantime. I bought some yesterday in my IRA at $13.50 with money I can truly (if begrudgingly) afford to lose. If all goes well, we get $25 when the notes are redeemed plus $6 along the way, so $31 on a $13.50 investment.

It's daily emails are actually worth reading, unlike most of the garbage out there today.
