Trump and Cramer, Patience As A Strategy in Markets, New York Is the Next Silicon Valley, and An Unloved Way to Hedge Real Estate

Does any one else find it interesting the New York Times runs articles on the business ethics of Donald Trump and the popularity of Jim Cramer on the same day? Birds of a feather maybe, or maybe just typical NY Times journalism (used loosely)?

Always have thought Trump was hard to believe, and looks as though the real estate boom proved it. Cramer is a different animal, but I do believe he tries to help people get interested in and learn more about finance.

Nice article by Noah Kass on patience as a strategy-

Looks like New York City is really an attractive place for startups and venture capital- look out Silicon Valley:

A way to hedge real estate values goes unused-

I hope everyone had a good weekend.

As always, on any company mentioned here, past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. One should research any investment and make sure it is suitable with your objectives, risk tolerance, risk profile liquidity considerations, tax situation, and anything else pertinent to your financial situation. Also, the CFA credential in no way implies investment returns will be superior for any charterholder.
