People Who Shop At Wal-Mart Are Animals!
I’ve been busy this weekend and just learned that a man died at Wal-mart as he was stampeded to death much like if he were in an African Sahara killed by runaway elephants or rhinos except this poor man was killed by wild animals shopping at Wal-mart when the store opened for black Friday. The […]

Black Friday Is So Dead
Wow, we had Thanksgiving Dinner last night and only a single person seemed interested in any kind of Black Friday deals. No one expressed any interest in getting up at 4 a.m. to go shopping for crap this year and I can’t blame them. I could never understand why people wake up so early to […]

People don’t appear to be late on any payments and not increasing debt or credit lines so what’s happening? I’m beginning to wonder if the banks are involved in these shenanigains as many credit card banks […]

Frugal Lunches: Strip Clubs?
As I drove to work this morning, I noticed a new sign over one of the city’s “gentleman’s club” and couldn’t help but notice a sign that read, “Dollar Steak Buffets Are Back” over the establishment. It got me thinking if this is a good strategy to save money on lunch and I’m wondering if […]

What’s Your Game Plan For A Lost Decade?
There have been many comparisons of our current credit crisis to the Japan crisis of the 90’s and the ensuing “lost decade” in which equities returned essentially nothing after inflation and adjustments.

Pulling Money Out of the Market
I’ve decided to pull a chunk of short term money out of the market. Nothing in this market makes sense any more and luckily I got a good exit point on my latest short position (DUG) to exit at a break even point. I’m keeping long term funds in the market but the short term […]
