POPSWinning at the Brick & Morter Game Not all digital age disruptors are about software or chips or gadgets. Gamestop is largely an old school retailer, that has an incredibly smart retailing model and above all knows its core audience. This is a good lesson for investors.

POPSRich Dad Walks on Water I would love to get a look at Kiyosaki's actual portfolio of investments. Everything is always rosy but never any specifics. He is like Trump, his biggest attribute is self promotion.

POPSMyopic Money Men Every index was up today but because GameStop reported stellar results it's off 5%. Go figure. GME has a killer franchise in a business that is in the early stages of a long term boom. Video games, Web, TV, iTunes, Crackberries. Convergence is here.

POPSLow PEs Drag Down Wisdom Tree ETF As this blogger points out, low pe stocks don't always go up. EZY is loaded with bank stocks, so it has taken a beating and isnt even matching the S&P. Long term, we shall see.

POPSBuybacks Can't Fix a Broken Franchise Being a successful retailer takes a lot more than just cutting costs. Sears was a has-been when Lampert bought it and it acquired another has-been chain, K-Mart. Who on earth looks forward to shopping at Sears? LandsEnd was always solid. I hope it doesnt suffer from Lampert's taint. He can buyback stock till he's blue in the face. Good money chasing bad.

POPSHedge Funds Petarded I sat next to John Bogle on a train from DC to New York when he composed this commencement speech. At 79 years old he is still an inspiration. Passionate, brilliant and down to earth. I clipped one of the most poignant parts of his speech about current hedgefund greed.

POPSDoing Good to Distraction Here is an example of why Google has a $200 billion market cap and continues to climb. Everyone likes to procrastinate and they get you to think that you are actually being productive doing so. Of course they sell ads against this.Genius.

POPSNasty Venal People I thought the New York Times story did a nice tribute to my longtime boss. My best years at Forbes were spent being nasty and venal to corporate chiefs, investment hucksters and other rip-off artists who were full of themselves. Not much of that going on in biz journalism today.

POPSA Lion Who Didn't Lionize Is Gone This nice tribute to Jim Michaels by perhaps the most talented business journalist of our day, Allan Sloan, talks about the way Forbes ran during Michael's reign. Too much biz journalism these days gushes over wealth or power and ignores the little guy, the investor.
