Dear Fellow Expat, It’s the first day of another negative momentum cycle. So, greetings from Lansdowne Pub. It’s a Boston-themed (BOO!) sports pub with pictures of Red Sox memorabilia on the wall, enough “handsome” pictures of Tom Brady to launch 1,000 ships to Tampa, and a large, drunken moose on every menu. It’s the closest […]

Can I Interest You In Some (Market) Insurance?
The Florida Republic is in the business of insurance. Stock market insurance. We literally give it away for free every single day with our Equity Momentum reading. When it’s green, you’re clear. When it’s yellow, a storm is on the horizon. And when it turns red, it's time to take action. Whether it’s moving to cash or […]
Free Insurance on a Burning House and Crushed SUV
Dear Fellow Expat, What would you do with $700 right now? Would you rent a hotel for two days in a nearby city? Maybe attend a special dinner with a friend or loved one? Pay down debt? Well, in my case, a bill arrived yesterday for six months of car insurance. We put up about […]
September Begins
We begin September with a typical conversation between Tim Melvin and me. Normally, we’d be at his house for Labor Day weekend, watching my daughter swim and discussing seasonality. But Tim had a fever, so we layed low this Sunday. I have a different kind of fever – the type that comes when Equity Momentum […]
Here’s the Dad-Approved Best Oil Trade Right Now
Dear Fellow Expat, My father taught me five things when I turned five years old. How to keep score at a baseball game (scorecard) How to read a baseball box score (hits/at bats) How to read the McCormick & Co. (MCK) stock quote in the Baltimore Sun. How to pour a vodka, club soda, and […]
The Road from Los Alamos to a Rich Life
In 1942, the race was on. Physicists of America’s Manhattan Project were feverishly working to build an atomic bomb before Nazi Germany. But they faced a critical challenge… Their supply of uranium needed to be “enriched.” It needed to be transformed into nuclear fuel, an essential step in demonstrating the feasibility of constructing an atomic […]
The Only Man Who Will Ever Be on the Florida Republic Flag
Dear Fellow Expat, I hope you are enjoying your Labor Day holiday. Today, I’ll take a break from financial analysis. Many have asked about the flag of the Florida Republic. No such declaration has emerged – but our inception is still unofficial. We’ll get there. One should be a fan of placing animals on the flag. That is, […]
The Stocks I'm Watching as Florida's "Season" Begins
Dear Fellow Expat, In the shadows of the Florida night, a disturbing presence – unnoticed by most slithered down U.S. Route 41 – Tamiami Trail. This was no ordinary vehicle; it was a monstrous, steel Goliath. This unholy contraption carved asphalt arteries with an insatiable hunger, eager to bring terror to an unsuspecting beach town. […]
Boats, Beaches, Bars & BRICS
Dear Fellow Expat, Fifteen seconds after I awoke this morning, these lyrics randomly passed through my mind. I am umbilically connected to the temperate zone It brought me life; it brought me love I never have outgrown Brought me one too many nights along that Biscayne shore And one too many mornings in the Grove […]
We're Staring at a Hot Conflict in a Cold Place
Dear Fellow Expat, Imagine you’re eight years old, on stage, at an elementary school. It’s the finals of the local geography bee. The room is full. The crowd is hushed. If you answer one more question correctly, you’ll win a trophy with a red-white-and-blue ribbon. The question starts: “Which state…” Oh… no… “Which state” questions […]
