I suppose that's why I picked up some books on CD. In an interest to be informed on what Lucy is putting in her brain, I have taken to reading what she's reading... you know the sort. Although, I'm not interested in the "Pretties" series. The author of the "Artemis Fowl" series just published a new book. Lucy and I will soon be trading off on that one. I hope to finish the Lemony Snicket "Unfortunate" series before she's graduates from college! Add "Anne of Green Gables" to that list... we're in book five. <BR/><BR/>On a completely, but blog related note... the market started out strong today, but lost major ground. Don't loose heart... keep the faith!BenDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01167558629181533625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1831751517771451841.post-35465599330246417142008-03-12T18:34:00.000-07:002008-03-12T18:34:00.000-07:00BenThank you for the comments.

It sounds like you and I have a similar view on investing and money in general, and maybe my interest in literature will rub off on you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1831751517771451841.post-67823069877271826052008-03-10T20:15:00.000-07:002008-03-10T20:15:00.000-07:00hi James. I'm interested in being financially comf...hi James. I'm interested in being financially comfortable as well... so, I'm with you there. As far as the writing goes... don't be too disappointed in me... you see, the last 2 books I "read" were on CD! I will say this though... it's a very odd juxtaposition to be listening to Faulkner's "As I Lay Dying" in a car with a navigation system. If you've ever read about the Bundren's journey, you'd appreciate that comment. Although listening to a sci-fi set in 2036, I felt like I was driving an antique!<BR/><BR/>Back to the money thing... best thing to getting and staying ahead is to not have any debt. Kinda hard for middle America to pay cash for a house, so that can be excused! Oh, and one more thing... buy low, sell high.<BR/><BR/>With SO many magazine articles, newspaper articles, seminars and co-workers giving advice... it can be overwhelming as to what the best investments are to obtain specific goals, so I'll be checking in on your blog from time to time to pick up nuggets of insight, discoveries and advice on having more $$$. If you ask Chuck (Schwab) he'd tell you... "Time in the market is better than timing the market." I interpret that as... boring and consistent will eventually be very exiting! --BenBenDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01167558629181533625noreply@blogger.com
