Infographic of the Day: Can Aspirin Help Prevent Cancer?
This is a very interesting article and graphic illustration on the benefits of aspirin. The bleeding complications of aspirin have been overblown in comparison to the benefits. If aspirin causes you to bleed, you could simply cut back on the dosage or use a buffered type of aspirin. Aspirin is a miracle drug that can be used to prevent cancer and heart disease.

Reaffirming The Bullish Thesis For Twitter - Twitter, Inc. (NYSE:TWTR) | Seeking Alpha
Reaffirming The Bullish Thesis For Twitter - Twitter, Inc. (NYSE:TWTR) | Seeking Alpha
Here is a very good article about Twitter (TWTR). I own shares of the company, and I am excited about the long term prospects. Twitter has dramatically increased their income over the past year, and the company now has positive earnings. Just as Facebook and Google were overvalued by a lot initially, Twitter will most likely grow into a mature company sooner than people may think. I believe the company is a great buy as part of a well diversified portfolio.

As stocks rise, so does anxiety: Time to get out?: Associated Press Business News - MSN Money
As stocks rise, so does anxiety: Time to get out?: Associated Press Business News - MSN Money
This is an excellent article which presents the bull and bear cases for stocks. On the bull side, there is nothing significant that could bring stocks down. The economy is getting stronger, not weaker. The S&P 500 is expected to grow earnings 8% in 2014 and 12% in 2015. So, earnings are not topped out like some people thought.
In addition, interest rates are low, and the old saying goes that stocks will "grow" under those conditions. Both individuals and businesses can expand with low interest money, and bonds are not attractive with low interest rates. One analyst said that the last seven bull markets did not end until interest rates were higher than 4%. We are nowhere near that scenario now. Thus, we need to make money while we can by being mostly long.
On the bear side, it is definitely true that stocks are overvalued. It is also well known that the Federal Reserve will eventually raise interest rates. Because of these conditions, long term bonds are being bought since many believe we are near a stock market top. We have the unusual scenario that stocks and bonds are rising together because separate groups are buying their favorite assets. I own 20% bonds myself in TMF and TLT, and I am making money on bonds as well as stocks.

ARMOUR: Time To Get Going - ARMOUR Residential REIT, Inc. (NYSE:ARR) | Seeking Alpha
Here is an outstanding article about Armour Residential (ARR). I own shares of the company, and I plan to buy more in the near future. The 14% dividend is safe, and you get paid on a monthly basis. I believe the stock market in general is getting to the point of only single-digit returns, and ARR will easily beat the market under those conditions.

Battle for Ukraine's southeast coast heats up
Battle for Ukraine's southeast coast heats up
This is a story with many details that the Ukraine conflict is far from over. With the stock market teetering at a top, continuing bad news from Ukraine could cause a downturn in stocks. The next question would be how far stocks would fall. I am currently making money on government bonds through TLT and TMF because many people and institutions don't trust the stock market. Therefore, bonds are being bought even on days when the market makes a new high on low volume.
