Even though my Kindle was supposed to arrive the day I left for Vegas, the Amazon elves worked extra hard and it showed up today. I don’t ever expect a gadget to replace books, but I thought Kindle would be great for traveling as I don’t have to drag 3+ books with me. Anyway.. Color [...]

I had CNBC on in the background today and they mentioned a segment coming up on foreclosures. Being that I invest quite a bit in real estate I was curious to see what they had to say.

I just read an article at Vestopedia about why the author sold his Google stock at $741. His reasoning was based on an article by Stephen Dubner (of the ever-popular Freakonomics) about regression to the mean by athletes. Thing is, I don’t agree with the reasoning that Google should go lower because their freakishly high [...]

I was going to cross-post this on Shoemoney, but I’ll just link it instead.

Here’s what a crappy day looks like. Of the greens, I’m long one, no longer holding one, and am SHORT one. I need a drink.
