Tumbling

No, I'm not pondering the 1930's song by the Sons of the Pioneers. I'm talking about the real thing. The quagmire created by this weed will make any farmer cringe. I remember seeing a tumbleweed as a young girl. My best friend's parents brought one home to Indiana after a visit to the west. I was envisioning the old wild west towns where... ...

Treasuries have risen over the past week as risk aversion has picked up. The rebound in investor fear would seem counter-intuitive considering some of the events that have dominated the headlines.    US Treasuries • Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson Focuses Efforts Of Bailout Package • Will The G20 Offer More Than Threats To A Struggling Market?

If anyone has tried walking up a hillside with a pair of loose denims on you'd know how I felt a week ago. 'I am a proud man, I am a proud man, Dancing to the beat of a mother coming down'...that's not my line, that's Cloud Cult (does it have MILF connotations or is it about The Holy Mother). The name's really nice...Cloud Cult. Another name that really gets me all trippy is Random Charas.A few da

For a while now I have estimated that Arcadia home prices will drop down to $250/sf for low-end condos, $300-350/sf for average single family homes and $400/sf in the most desirable neighborhoods. Of course, there are factors such at views, large lots, gated communities and property age that will command a premium beyond $400/sf. Let’s take [...]

Guys, finally I m posting my personal views on this issue. Now go though the reasons and see if they satisfy you.Uncertain Governments of India and USA. USA would be going for elections in a couple of months. That’s why many of the IT and export based companies are doubtful about the renewal of their license. McCain and Obama are two different ends of the pole. Thus companies are waiting for the

Most people who buy a new car or truck don’t think they are making a risky bet on the commodity futures market. But they are. Just ask someone who’s trying to unload a large sport-utility vehicle purchased in the last two or three years. The market for large, second-hand SUVs is going through its own version of the mortgage market’s meltdown - and for some of the same reasons. GM

It amazes me how high the Dow Jones and S&P 500 stand today given everything that has happened in the US economy over the past year: sub-prime crisis, financial crisis and the credit crunch. I know that is because the pain so far has been felt in the financial and property sectors and not elsewhere. But [...]

With the EURO 2008 football championship set to kick off early next month, dealers and manufacturers in Ho Chi Minh City have slashed TV prices, especially that of flat panel models, by 15 – 50%. At IDEAS Shopping Center in District 3, a 42-inch LG LCD (liquid crystal display) TV has fallen from nearly VND37 million (US$2,280) earlier this year to VND20 million ($1,233). A 50-inch Samsung

MySpace has forged agreements with other popular Internet sites — Yahoo, eBay, Photobucket and Twitter — to permit MySpace users to migrate their data. Profiles, videos and friend networks are among the content that can be ported. They can then access the partner sites using their MySpace user names and passwords. For example, MySpace [...]

Socialite Tara Palmer Tomkinson was in a rush to get home last night after she sprinted in heels from a London club and fell into a taxi. The some-time TV presenter, 36, joined a host of celebrities to celebrate her business partner and rumoured love interest Duncan James's 30th birthday party. After partying with stars such as Jamie Oliver and Myleene Klass at the bash, it appeared the

Oil prices dropped below $87 a barrel today to their lowest levels in six weeks after a report showed an increase in U.S. supplies of gasoline and distillates, as well as of crude at a key domestic terminal. Traders shrugged off OPEC's decision to keep production levels steady and a big drop in overall U.S. crude stockpiles. Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ministers said Wednesday in Abu Dhabi,well supplied," with crude reserves at comfortable levels.

This week is very interesting for most people that care about personal finance because the stock market has lost 500+ points during the last few days.  Tomorrow is going to be interesting but the long term outlook should be great so do not worry if you are like most of us that buy into low cost index funds.

Neville Hobson posts on how an incorrect memo about iPhone and Leopard's delays leaked from Apple employees and found its way to Engadget, causing Apple's shareprice to dip momentarily (yet dramatically). I don't have information as to whether Engadget's post was solely responsible for that, or whether the memo reached investors through other channels, but it's a startling reminder of disapearing boundaries between internal and external communication and of the influence of blogs on corporate matters.Via an email from El Blogador.

{summary}Generally speaking, I’m not the weepy, sentimental type.  It’s really hard for me to get the warm fuzzies, and I haven’t always been that way.  When I was a kid EVERYTHING made me cry.  I believe an apt term for my disposition would have been “hyper-sensitive.” I was so tenderhearted that the sight of cute puppies would turn me into a blubbering mess.  I don’t know what happened.  Maybe some teenaged boy broke my heart or perhaps too many mean-sprited comments from family members caused me to crust over, but eventually I was able to shut off most outward displays of emotion.  The only way you can tell if I’m happy or pissed is to study my eyebrows and try to decipher whether I’m pouting or smirking.  I’ve effectually taken on the countenance of an android: don’t take it personally if you meet me and I seem bored - I’m really smiling on the inside. The thing about having a ki

Isn't that just the loveliest name for a plant? Tumbling Toms. I could say it all day. Tumbling Toms. Tumbling Toms are medium-size tomatoes bred for hanging baskets. Now that's gardening even I can handle! I read about them in the 4/1/07 Woman's Day, p. 20. To order, call 800-362-3817.

At this time of year, are you like my, and absolutely flooded out with fresh tomatoes all over the place ... in fact we've got so many ripening on the plants at the moment it's hard to pick them fast enough ... they're simply tumbling from the plants like raindrops from the clouds ...

Agora falando de outras coisas, para quem ficou a pensar (daqueles a quem enviei o mail) em que raio tinha ido votar aqui há uns tempos quando, encarecidamente, pedi que votassem na "minha" Filipinha, aqui fica uma pequenina amostra.Só não percebo é porque é que as colegas dela têm direito a mais tempo de filmagem da actividade propriamente dita! E de um ângulo melhor e tudo! É injusto.P.S.: isto é Tumbling. até fiquei com tonturas.

As a few of you may have noticed, I am something of a know it all--on a number of subjects. This is because I have insatiable curiosity and dabble in different stuff from time to time (this is often called flighty). One of those things is finance. Once upon a time I had a Series 7 license-which is a piece of paper which permits you to act as a huckster of stocks and bonds. This is actually no great feat--thousand of unemployed kids with liberal arts degrees get them every year.But today, I have gathered my meager knowledge and experience together to talk about Tuesday's stock market drop.First of all, you should be happy about this. Most people have their money in pension funds, mutual funds, 401(k)'s, annuities, stupid life insurance policies tied to the stock market, etc. Most folks are not doing a lot of day trading. Each month a certain amount of money is taken out of your check and invested in stocks. The lower the price of stocks, the more shares you get. In twenty years
