Killer (St. Patrick's Day) App: Smoked Salmon Crostini

If you're looking for a delectable and festive appetizer to serve at a St. Patrick's Day shindig, how about these amazing smoked salmon crostini?
by partysugar

If you're looking for a delectable and festive appetizer to serve at a St. Patrick's Day shindig, how about these amazing smoked salmon crostini? Salmon has long been associated with Irish cuisine because it was once the most common fish in Ireland. When paired with seasoned goat cheese and crisp toasts, smoked salmon makes a wonderful, elegant, and easy hors d'oeuvre. Although many people dislike fennel, the seeds add an interesting flavor note to the dish. My grocery store didn't have fresh tarragon, so I simply substituted flat-leaf parsley. The best thing about this bite is it can be served at any time of the day! Get the versatile recipe and read more

Does Luck Play in to Choosing Stocks?

Does Luck Have Anything to Do With Picking Stocks?

Some people avoid certain types of investments because they compare investing to gambling and don't want to take risks with their money.

Some people avoid certain types of investments because they compare investing to gambling and don't want to take risks with their money. In the book A Random Walk Down Wall Street Burton Malkiel, the author and Princeton Professor, theorized that "a blindfolded monkey throwing darts at a newspaper’s financial pages could select a portfolio that would do just as well as one carefully selected by experts." In other words, he thought picking stocks was all about luck.

When you pick companies and buy their specific stocks, you’re essentially betting on the companies to perform a certain way. Sure you can try and factor in a company’s track record, but past performance certainly doesn’t predict the way a stock will perform in the future. On the other hand, stock analysts have their jobs for a reason. Do you think people who succeed in the stock market are relying on luck?
