In this month’s investing article:
• The February Correction. In late January through early February, we saw an 8% correction (based on the S&P). As of today, we’ve retraced almost all of that 8%.
• The Clouds – China, Europe, Inflation and Interest Rates, and US Regulation. It may seem like the recent correction never happened, but we’ll continue to be dogged by weakness in China, debt problems in Europe, the possibility of higher interest rates and regulation from Washington. The investor needs to be vigilant and watchful of these “clouds”.
• Looking Forward. I continue to expect 2010 to be range-bound, generally. The long-term conservative investor can earn some return by leaning toward defensive, dividend-paying blue chip stocks. For those that can be more active, look to trade around a core position – taking some profits when the stock rallies, and doing some buying on the dips. With the market near it’s recent high, the more active investor should be asking whether it’s time to take some profits.
• Stock Updates. Quick looks at Apple, Goldman and Citi – what opportunities they present, and what they tell us about today’s market.

First South Asian American to run for Congress
Reshma Saujani is a dedicated community activist, a Yale University legal scholar, and an attorney in New York City. But first and foremost, she is the daughter of political refugees whose story embodies the promise of life in America. Her parents, originally of Indian origin, barely escaped the brutal regime of IdiAmin in Uganda. Forced to flee during the government’s violent persecution of foreigners, her family lost everything. But amnesty in America gave them a chance to rebuild.

Investing: Short-Term Arbitrage
It's the New Year, and people are looking back, looking forward, making predictions and picking the best stocks for 2008. So, in this month's column, I'm going to talk about... short-term arbitrage. Yes, I said short-term arbitrage. I promise to tell you what that is soon.
Why not make predictions and pick stocks for 2008? Mostly because I think we're seeing the continuation of trends that we've already talked about in past columns.
For example, I see the financials continuing their downtrend.
