I know what you are thinking, "Terrence, where is all my financial advice." I'll be honest with you about what is going on.
My new job is taking a lot more time than I had originally thought. I'm working harder than when I was at Microsoft, and I was working pretty hard there. When I get home, I don't do much. I generally spend most of my time doing things around the house, talking to my girlfriend, or traveling back to Seattle to see her. In addition, I don't have cable TV so I'm not watching a lot of new or CNBC.
So I've been stuck in this rut. Trying to figure out how to get out of it. This project is important to me, but my work-life balance right now is heavily skewed toward work. The little left over is devoted to working on my long-distance relationship, something obviously pretty important.
I'm going to try and get back on track this weekend. Just have some patience with me, and I'll find a way to catch back up.
Looking forward to your next post. Just a suggestion for the next topic: what are your thoughts on the hype about Chase buying WAMU? I've been reading some blogs on LinkedIn but haven't fully formed my conclusion.

ReplyDeleteI agree that your relationship is important :)
ReplyDeleteSince prices of gas keeps going up, I want to discuss the alternative energy companies. Which ones do you think will rise in the next 5 years?
ReplyDeleteHere's a link to an article for you, Stephen. It's about Chase and WAMU. http://biz.yahoo.com/bizj/071211/1562506.html?.v=1
ReplyDeleteAlternative energy is a very dangerous place to invest right now. A lot of other people have had your idea and so much of those stocks are very expensive. When they become unfashionable they drop quick. Look at stocks like Suntech Power, it is down more than 10% on the week.
ReplyDeleteWhat's your assessment of Wal-Mart's new 400 in-store health clinics? Will this change make WMT a worthwhile investment?
ReplyDeletelots of this speculation is going to go on because of the turmoil of the credit markets. I'm starting to think now is good time for some of these more battered names, like Washington Mutual. I'll try and write a post on it soon.
