Buy Potted Tulips Green for Bargains
This video shows how to buy bulbs in different stages of growth so they're always a bargain.
Coming to terms: Tulipmania, defensive stocks
Tulips occasionally are mentioned in financial stories. They're references to the great "tulipmania" that took Holland by storm in the mid-1600s.
It's one of the first documented cases of a speculative investing frenzy. People were taking out loans on their homes in order to buy tulip bulbs. Prices soared to the modern-day equivalent of tens of thousands of dollars per bulb.
Eventually, the proverbial bubble burst, wiping out many investors.
Defensive stocks
Defensive stocks are tied to companies whose fortunes don't fluctuate too much in relation to the economy. During a recession, for example, people might not buy cars or fur coats or washing machines, but they'll still be buying food, gasoline, prescription drugs, electricity, telephone service and diapers.
Food, soft drinks, tobacco, energy and pharmaceuticals are defensive industries. They're seen as more stable than their "cyclical" counterparts, such as the home-building, steel, automobile and airline industries. Cyclical industries aren't necessarily to be avoided, but do expect a bumpier ride with them.
