In the midst of the steady market decline, I take a look at a stock up strongly today on improving fundamentals.

I discuss the role of avoiding compounding losses in a bear market and listening to your own portfolio in determining your entry and exit points on equities. Then I answer a reader's question about AMSG and whether Amsurg is a good stock to consider.

For tonight's show, I discuss the recent market correction and how my portfolio management system responds to bear markets. I look at Mikron (MIKR), a small stock that moved higher today.

A small restaurant chain that is growing quickly and producing nice financial results is reviewed. Note the underlying fundamentals and solid same store sales results.

The market moved higher today after several days of sharp correction. My Healthways (HWAY) stock hit a sale point and I picked up some shares of Toro (TTC) which was also on the move.

Tonight's podcast is in response to an inquiry from a reader about some profitability ratios, internet websites, and locating historical p/e's.

Going through my actual trading portfolio, I take another look at Jos. A. Bank Clothiers (JOSB) a stock, that like the rest of the market, has been under pressure recently. I also comment on the recent market correction and dealing with declining stocks.

On tonight's podcast, I review an old favorite of mine, FactSet Research (FDS) which I have actually reviewed twice before on the blog.

Tonight I wanted to just go through a few of the emails I have received and comments on them. They involve a variety of questions about investing and individual stocks. ***This is the complete podcast, I re-'casted' the final 20 minutes that were missing in the first round! Thanks for bearing with this amateur podcaster!

Garmin reported earnings this morning and the stock moved strongly higher. I take a look at the company and why it belongs on my blog!
