A thank you to Penelope Trunk is in order for mentioning and linking to me in her Yahoo! Finance article. I hope that those of you who have come here, well, there, enjoy your visit :) While I did use to work as a financial adviser assistant doing mutual fund analysis for clients, I won’t [...]
I came across some data that fits quite well in with my recent post on how “lazy isn’t a business model” that addresses the fascination of the seemingly easy money that can be made by “simply” advertising.

As such, I feel it only fair to make mention something I recently caught eye of over on Julia Roy’s blog called MonitorThis. MonitorThis pulls [...]
This past week has been a busy one for me. All of my business professors decided to be nice to us seniors and set our assignment due dates before Thanksgiving Break. This is fantastic! Except that when all of our professors decide to act nice at the same time, it means I have 3 papers [...]
