2009-09-18 04:59:00 Colleges courses that change the books each semester so you have to buy the newest edition piss me off. Then after you use the book it's resale value is crap. That would be a sweet racket to be in the Student Book Store business. The situation is improving with half.com and other book outlets where you can save a bundle over the campus bookstores.

Is Facebook really worth $100 Billion dollars?
2008-12-12 05:41:00 How much are you willing to pay for information? Advertisers are willing to pay for access to potential consumers. I don't think Facebook is worth more than Google or any other company that makes tangible products like Microsoft. I realize that internet applications and social networks are a big hit with younger kids and can be very addicting, but I think it is strange that people are More About: Worth , Dollars

Getting killed in the stock market!
2008-12-04 03:53:00 I picked a pretty bad time to invest in mutual funds in Asia and Latin America. I bought two emerging market funds at their all-time highs during the end of 2007. Now both of them are down over 50%. I'm not too worried about those since I'm looking for them to be profitability in 20 or more years.I also recently sold my stake in XCR for a massive loss -80% of my investment.

Do you ever check your credit report?
2008-12-02 01:29:00 It is a good idea to know what is on your credit report. You are entitled to one free credit check a year from many different companies. Other companies provide a free credit report with purchase of a security service which notifies you of suspicious activity. Having a idea of what your credit score is, can be very helpful when trying to get a mortgage, loan, or applying for a line of credit. More About: Credit , Report , Check , Credit report

People say it's so easy...

2008-10-01 02:24:00 The stock market is choking on millions of dollars in bad debt.

Adventures in Stock Picking
2008-09-18 14:42:00 My stock market experience update: a few months ago I sold my shares of MEDX for a $9 profit, which includes all brokerage fees. I also jumped into two other stocks a small cap SDTH, which I think has some real potential, they have a good balance sheet, and a cheap dollar stock call XCR. XCR I bought into the hype and will probably lose some money. It's a company that makes equipment for More About: Stock , Adventures
I'm in over my head.
2008-06-04 03:09:00 About a week ago I jumped into a stock called MEDX after seeing it on CNBC's Fast Money. It had recently gained about 7% on news of a new anti cancer drug. I acted on emotion and greed. Don't make the same mistake. Not only did I deviate from my disciplined monthly investing of a small sum in a diversified index fund, but I payed a whopping $10 commission to make a real time trade using More About: Head

Would Jesus be a Capitalist or Socialist?
2008-05-27 17:16:00 It is my belief that Jesus living in the 21st century would be a capitalist rather than a socialist. I think he would approve of Roy Kroc and Sam Walton for starting businesses' which have improved the lives of a great number of people by providing work, service, and quality. He would support anyone who's main goal is to create a company, product or service which helps people. This must be the
