| PC Flashcards are Just What the Doctor Ordered
Are those index cards showing their age already (even if it's only been a week)? If your standard flash cards are showing signs of abuse, misuse, or any other symptoms of outdated studying techniques, then the PC Flash Cards may be for you. The PC Flash Cards works by applying a multi-step system that does away with cumbersome index cards. Organize your digital flash cards by major, sub-major, minor and then individual classes. After that's done you can start making index cards for the individual subjects and even add pictures. Afterwards, you can test yourself, view the answers first, and then retake the test while only quizzing yourself on whatever flash cards you were unsure of. These flash cards can link to your PDA and if you still require the use of paper you can also print them out.

That means that stocks ought to be bought and sold with the approach of a business owner and that has certain implications for the stocks that we are choosing.

While the average stock on the New York Stock Exchange is held for less than a year, our average turnover is about 25%, which means that our average holding period is about four years. We analyze companies as if were going to hold them for ten years because thats the time horizon of a business owner. The third implication is the intensive research required by that approach. We pay a lot of attention to the fundamentals and we know our companies well before buying them.
