Weekend Edition: Reality and Sucking Up
Posted on Apr 05, 2008 under Weekend Editions |This last week was a little more difficult than usual to be at work after spending last weekend in Arizona previewing the MBA program. Nothing was out of the ordinary at work; it was just a little tough mentally. A buddy of mine at work did manage to procure me a few bottles of Coke and Pepsi though, and it’s amazing how they somehow manage to help be get through the work day. Anyway, here’s what’s on tap for this weekend:
1. This article at Yahoo Finance really seems to tell it like it is when it comes to the real estate crisis. When it comes to real estate prices, people really need to have their sanity returned. A house is only worth what a buyer is willing to pay for it. Plain and simple.
2. When the Clintons reported their income, it came out that they’ve made almost 109 million dollars since 2000. You can read the linked article, but let’s just say that I really need to start writing a book.
3. Here’s an interesting article from Guy Kawasaki called The Art of Sucking Up. There are actually quite a few tips to be learned here, even if the title doesn’t necessarily suggest it. And if you haven’t heard of Guy, you really ought to check out his website.
Fiscal Musings Throwback: About a year ago I took a look at stocks, and in particular the market capitalization and the P/E ratio. These are just a few things that you ought to know about when you begin to look into stock investing.
