Retarded Sushi

I need a cold glass of the white stuff.

I was sitting there minding my own business trying to decide if Dollhouse was really any good (or at least better then the new Knight Rider) when a family face appeared. Matt Keeslar “The Middleman” of the show of the same name, was playing a psycho path hired to kill echo. Skipping past the Dollhouse I began to wonder when my favorite show from last summer would be appearing again. Only to stumble upon this “The Middleman” Is Dead.

What are the top two mistakes all investors make (actually tied for number 1)?

1. Holding on to a sinking stock.
2. Not  holding on to a sinking stock.

That’s right. As an investor you hold on to a sinking stock and as in investor you do not hold onto a sinking stock. WTF? You can click on the two reasons to take you to respective articles supporting both. I am not a trained stock trader or broker and I am not advocating any particular stocks. Nor am I telling you to hold, buy or sell what you currently have. I just find it fascinating that the most common mistakes made are contradictory.

Warning: I like the sound of my own voice. I also have rather strong opinions (at least when I actually have one.)

The first batch (good old original plain) was just as I imagined, a piece of cereal heaven in my mouth (just like your mom). Then I started thinking, can you make them any better?

So I set out to try some variations. First up is the Chocolate Orange RK. Not sure if they were better but they were definitely damn good eaten

DISCLAIMER: I did not vote for Obama.

I repeat, I did not vote for Obama. Political alignment aside, I was open to giving Mr. Obama, sorry, President Obama, the benefit of doubt as he took office. Waiting to pass judgment until he was just about done with his term. Recent events have caused me to reconsider this position, or at least start him off with a C.

FOR THE LOVE OF PETE! You do not get elected by pinning all the current economic woes on the then president and associating your opponent so closely with the then president to the point people believe it, only to try and post key staff that have issues with there own money management. You already got lucky with the secretary treasury who failed to pay more in taxes then most of the people that voted for you make in a year pre-taxes. Now you have two more potential appointees back out because of the very same reason.
