Comments on: The Fed decided to go slow on removing housing stimulus–and that’s a good thing http://jubakpicks.com/2009/09/24/the-fed-decided-to-go-slow-on-removing-housing-stimulus-and-thats-a-good-thing/ Sat, 19 May 2012 20:47:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Cassandra http://jubakpicks.com/2009/09/24/the-fed-decided-to-go-slow-on-removing-housing-stimulus-and-thats-a-good-thing/comment-page-1/#comment-945 Cassandra Fri, 25 Sep 2009 11:33:29 +0000 http://jubakpicks.com/?p=1340#comment-945 Mr. Jubak, For a portfolio manager, you might want to look at Beiley's Fund Manager ( http://www.fundmanagersoftware.com/index.html ). Despite its name, it's by far the best I've ever seen as far as flexibility, including flexibility of reporting. About the only disadvantages I've found in it is that it can be a little geeky, and that I don't like its display as well as I liked MSN-PM's. If anyone here decides to use Fund Manager, but then has trouble finding a way to export years of transactions from MSN-PM to FM - and to some other portfolio managers which will accept text-based imports - post here and I will tell you how I think it can be done without too much hand-finishing, as they call it in the chocolate biz. Good luck. C. Mr. Jubak,

I've ben using the screener on Morningstar for a couple of years now because it has more complete fundamental data but it costs $100 bucks a year. I haven't found a portfolio manager to replace the one that MSN Money is discontinuing in Novembe but you can bet I'm looking. I've got 13 years of data locked up in that tool. I'll let you know what I find. ciwood, I have’t found a better free stock screener than the one on MSN Money.

All these stimulus is like smoking (stimulus) now and get cancer later. If I got polled, I would go with cut/control spending. All these stimulus is like smoking (stimulus) now and get cancer later.

I am a relative newbie to the Jubak Picks and have taken your advice and bought Maxwell Technologies. You target price has been reached a few times in the past few days... Do I go ahead and sell taking the profit? Or hold on for a follow on recommendation? Thanks. Great pick by the way, made some good profit on this one. Scott Shelton Roswell, GA Jim,
