I had to be at the dentist for a checkup and cleaning at 7:45am yesterday and I couldn’t find my wallet. We were sure we’d seen the wallet on the table by the door, but it was nowhere to be found. I finally thought — I wonder if that new six month old Great Pyrenees […]

You guys know I’m in a patient holding pattern right now. No Trades for me so far today. I got just about one red stock on my screen this morning and that one is named Google. Probably not a bad thing to let that stock breathe a little bit. Look at this one month chart […]

Nothing in the mainstream media is ever what they say it is. For stocks or rock stars, you gotta look past the headlines. […]
