MoneyMorning.com Peter Krauth writes: Greek banks were hanging onto a cliff's edge by their fingernails when Greek and European parliaments and finance ministers debated the future of Greece within Europe.
But less than a week after the referendum that said "όχι!" (No!) to more austerity, Prime Minister Tsipras had already betrayed that vote, proposing considerable cuts in exchange for yet another lifeline. And yet, the euro hardly budged more than a couple of percentage points, and European stocks are actually positive on the year.

Investing’s Great Struggle / Stock-Markets / Investing 2015
The great endeavor of investing can be distilled down into four simple words, buy low sell high. They are so basic, so resoundingly clear, that even a child can understand this principle. Yet still the great majority of investors never achieve significant success. Even while full-well knowing the core idea of investing, they end up buying high and selling low. That treacherous struggle of investing must be overcome.
It’s funny, as life is full of simple ideas that are incredibly challenging to put into practice. Investing is certainly not unique in this regard. Americans’ expanding waistlines are a great example. The only way to lean up is some combination of eating less and exercising more. We all know this basic truth, we all know what we ought to be doing on both fronts, yet it’s still really hard to execute. Emotions are the reason.

The Truth Behind Wall Street Stock Winners / Stock-Markets / Investing 2015
We all know there’s manipulation on Wall Street. There are companies that are much stronger than their fundamentals would suggest, and it laughs in the face of free market capitalism as it was originally intended.But it’s not just Wall Street that’s to blame…
The concept of free markets suggests that they work best when they’re run from the bottom up, not top down. “The invisible hand” was first brilliantly explained by Adam Smith in The Wealth of Nations in 1776.

Why Your Investment Portfolio Probably Isn’t as “Diversified” as You Think / Stock-Markets / Investing 2015
Stefan Gleason writes: “Am I diversified?”
It’s a question every investor should ask. It’s a question that CNBC’s bombastic stock guru Jim Cramer encourages his followers to pose. Unfortunately, Cramer’s answers are one-dimensional – he looks at diversification only in terms of stock holdings.
Having a stock portfolio that is diversified among different sectors and styles is just one aspect of diversification. During a stock market crash, any broadly diversified stock portfolio can be expected to go down with the market.

The Ultimate Way to Invest in Companies Outside the Stock Market / Companies / Investing 2015
Brian Hunt writes: "Investing outside the stock market."

How to Dress for a Rainy Day
Valuations are quite high and could spur financial instability, Janet Yellen told us yesterday. The question on the lips of the attendees at my recent Strategic Investment Conference was how to hedge their portfolios in a world of increasing volatility. For the last two years, my associate Worth Wray and I have been examining ways to design core strategic portfolios that are both robust and insulated. The challenge is that designing portfolios using backward-looking tools in a world that will not look like the past is an endeavor fraught with peril.
