FYI | May 01 2015

By Rudi Filapek-Vandyck, Editor FNArena

I like to question the ruling logic that goads the herd, or at the very least stimulate independent thinking. There's a big difference between playing market momentum as a short term trader and trying to figure out what the best asset purchases are for longer term investing.

Since 2012 I maintain my own feed of quotes, comments, responses and market insights via Twitter. Not everyone is on Twitter, which explains the requests to make my Twitter items also available through the newsfeed on the FNArena website.

Usually I combine all Tweets from the week past in one weekly story. Below are my Tweets from the week past. Enjoy.
