Shortly after finishing Scratch Beginnings, I read Barbara Ehrenreich’s best-selling book, Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America. I guess I really read them out of order, because Scratch Beginnings is actually more of a response to Ehrenreich’s book. So maybe I’m tainted. But like both authors, I’m going to just embrace my [...]
Six months ago – on literally the last few hours of the opportunity – I found out about a $500 sign-up bonus with Options Xpress. I came up with dozens of reasons to dismiss the idea – there wasn’t enough time to fully investigate it, there had to be more of a catch, it was [...]
2008 was the year I decided to really become active with investing (and, after some pushes in the right direction, trading).
That year is now over, and jury is still out on some deals. But so far, I don’t think I could have picked a better time to dive in.
Oh, it was horrible in many respects. [...]
Man, that’s a good feeling… seeing that the markets are down for the day, but my accounts (which are actually moderately bullish at this point) are up. Just a little. (Actually – I just re-checked – the markets are now only a little bit down, and my accounts are significantly up!)

A long time ago, in a college, we had a demonstration of wealth generation that I only vaguely remember. But it went a little bit like this:

While he was fortunately not in danger of bankruptcy, the process of [...]
I spent some time this last week reading interviews with different investors over the last 30 years. Some took place around the 1987 stock market crash, the 1982 Savings & Loan crash, or during the recession earlier this decade. What is really interesting to me was how they were describing the public hysteria at those [...]
in Lu has a great post on Wise Bread about the all-too-common assumption that the rich are evil – greedy, self-centered, ruthless, aloof, exploitive, amoral, uncaring — you name the adjective.
Why Is “Rich” Often Equated With “Evil?”
Xin tackles this issue, with an added bonus. Originally from China, he throws in some cultural background and the [...]
Last week, I was in a meeting with some professional investors and entrepreneurs. I was talking about my recent headaches with bounced paychecks (yes, plural, there were actually two, but both have been taken care of now) with one friend there who has been “out of the rat race” for about four years now. When [...]
