So here’s something I stumbled upon at one of my credit unions. Â I was contemplating taking a loan out to pay off one of my student loans who’s interest rate climbed to 6.9% and homey don’t like to pay interest that high! Â I walked in to the credit union and asked for the loan…

Trade of the Decade? Already Made $5,000 In A Few Weeks
I have been raking in the cash lately using my favorite system of trading and it seems the trade of a decade…perhaps lifetime is coming in January 2012.

Another Bad Experience on Continental & United
I’ve spent the last two weeks on a business trip and I continue to experience the same horrible experience on Continental/United. I’m flying through areas where this is the airline that offers the most flight options between the cities I’m flying and I often have to change my itinerary the last minute so it has…
Avoid United Airlines and Continental Like the Plague!
The pain and anguish on the faces of passengers has become all too familiar for me this week as I’ve been on three United/Continental flights and been delayed three times; it’s sad but it presents an opportunity for profit. The common theme to United’s problems seems to be computer glitches but dropping morale can’t be…
It’s Hard To Give Away $1,500
Regular readers know that I am no big fan of charities.  The few times I have given money I ended up regretting as these charities squander my money with mass mailing for just more requests for more money….so I finally decided to try to give money directly away to people that I knew would have…

Why Is The Market Up? It’s the Bonus Stupid!
Well it’s easy to say why the market is up, the third quarter is coming to a close and all those mutual fund money “managers” have to justify their existence and bonuses that will be doled out during Christmas so why not pump up the market, make the numbers look good and then let it…
Where Are They Now: Peer To Peer Lenders?
I’m always in the look out for new investment opportunities and a few years ago, the peer to peer lending scene was starting to take shape and I was intrigued and wanted in on the fad but I suspected it might be a fad and stayed away.   Flash forward about three years later and I…
If Oil Is $85/bbl During A Recession, What’s It Gonna Be During A Boom?
Whether you want to call it a recovery or just exuberant optimism about the economy improving, the one question that’s been begging in my mind is what’s going to happen with oil if and when the economy booms? If oil is currently at $85 during a recession then what will it be during a real…
