A Buck A Day!

We'll I'm here in Austin, Tx. lying on my bed in the Awesome suite at the Holiday Inn Express. The rooms are actually very nice and I am using the free wireless internet to type this.

I was able to sell some of the items on ebay and will post the results sometimes when I get back and actually ship everything out. One item is going to Australia.

Monetizing this Site.
On June 1st I plan on putting a hit counter on this site to moniter the amount of traffic this blog is receiving. After one month I will start selling text links that are financial related. All proceeds will be posted here, for everyone to see.

My company. I can't remember if I mentioned it already or not, but I own a company. I am about to shake things up a bit, by closing a whole division! I will have a whole post about this soon!

I get this question a lot. "What Stocks should I buy?"
Not an easy question, do you want growth, steady income, inflation hedge, when do you retire? All of these questions have to be answered before you need to make any decisions on stock.

Also, you need to do research, does the company make money, have good management, facing any new competition? You want a great company that will last and will be able to ride any rough tides. (This applies to investing, not trading)

I always suggest that you get yourself a practice account, just to test any strategy. Currently CNBC.com is running a stockpicker challenge with weekly prizes. At one time I was in the top .03% of accounts. I have fallen a bit but I have faith that I will be back up there.



Update
Last time I posted about how we were going to try the envelope stuffing thing, well, after reading the materials that were sent to us, we decided that we were being scammed, 2 of the ones said we would make 50% commission from selling roses and alarm systems, We would have to stuff the envelopes with the catalogues and hope we got an order, but it did not describe how the company would keep track of the orders we generated. The other one wanted us to send a deposit, but it would only accept cash, but it had a great tagline, $9 per envelope. So, needless to say, we will not be sending any money to any of these companies, Also we tried calling the BBB from where these envelopes originated, but it was the weekend so we got no answer.
