I don't see how investing in armchairs could possibly be a good idea. Who buys them new? You can find armchairs free near practically any apartment complex Dumpster—if you don't mind cigarette burns in the armrests, a mild cat odor or using a pair of vise-grip pliers for the footrest handle. (Hey, the pliers double as a handy roach clip!) Nonetheless, some huckster is offering to help "armchair investors" choose stocks, make the highest possible returns and protect their portfolios from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Friday in a Community Room Group at Half Price Books, 5803 E. Northwest Highway in Dallas.
