May 9, 2008 at 1:28 pm ET A reader, P, asks:
I recently got accepted to a Non ABA certified Law School. Given the nature of the beast. What are your thoughts on such an endeavor, as there are pros and cons to the affair?
I’m certainly no expert on education. I have but one degree, and nary a desire for [...] ... (more) Wednesday, May 7, 2008 Investment Update: April 2008 (7 clicks)

May 7, 2008 at 11:55 am ET I’m a little late on my investment update as I’ve been trying to get it out around the 1st of the month. The month of April pretty much continued how it started. The market rallied while I lagged relative to market. My lagging is not very surprising given that I [...] ... (more) Tuesday, May 6, 2008 Lovable Losers (2 clicks)

May 6, 2008 at 1:32 pm ET I have a couple stocks in my portfolio brightly colored red. Yet, every time I see them I have stop myself from buying more. The two common cliches that prevent me from doing so are. 1) Don’t Catch A Falling Knife 2) Don’t Average Down. I’ve managed to resist [...] ...

From AskDong - view blog entries - visit this blog
May 5, 2008 at 3:42 pm ET Recently there was an article in the New York Times about people sharing salary information. Jim at Blueprint for Financial Prosperity was one of those interviewed and had his own response on the topic. This topic dear to my heart. My girlfriend and I often discuss this topic because we’ve found a [...] ... (more) Thursday, May 1, 2008 Mazda Not Being Frugal (5 clicks)

May 1, 2008 at 12:21 pm ET Mazda is choosing to cut it’s babies in half. A couple years ago there was freak mishap on a freighter, the Cougar Ace, that rendered it unseaworthy. The ship tipped to port at nearly a 60 degree angle. As a result, much of the cargo was drenched in seawater, or stored at [...] ... (more) Wednesday, April 30, 2008 Tragedy of the Oceans (5 clicks)

April 30, 2008 at 12:19 pm ET I’m a great lover of food. There are few foods I dislike, mushrooms probably being the most notable. Recently I’ve been trying to be more conscience of my grazing habits. I want to eat well, but I also want to eat in a sustainable manner. One of the [...] ...

April 29, 2008 at 11:53 am ET According to my estimates, I will owe taxes next year come April 15th. I will owe enough taxes that I should be paying estimated taxes. I already missed my 1st payment on April 15th. I didn’t forget. I missed the payment on purpose. I had decided that I rather pay the penalty rather than pay [...] ...

April 28, 2008 at 11:45 am ET I’m not the mightiest of bargain hunters. In animal kingdom of bargain hunters, I’m probably a badger - an omnivore that predominantly preys on pocket gophers. I don’t go out of my way for bargains, but at the same time I want to try to get a better deal when I can.
Last night [...] ... (more) Friday, April 25, 2008 Hedging Stock Based Pay (5 clicks)
From AskDong - view blog entries - visit this blog
April 25, 2008 at 2:42 pm ET I like many other employees I am partially paid in the form company stock. Companies rightly choose to pay their employers by stock options or outright stock grants as means to better align company and employee interests. Enormous stock option packages get a lot of press as they often pad CEO pay [...] ... (more) Wednesday, April 23, 2008 Politics as Advertising. (2 clicks)

April 23, 2008 at 11:50 am ET Last night, I watched Clinton’s and Obama’s speeches after the Pennsylvania primary. There wasn’t too much new in the speeches. Watching Obama’s speech, however, I couldn’t help but notice three young men in a row sporting very prominently Abercrombie and Fitch T-shirts. At first, I didn’t think too [...] ...

April 22, 2008 at 12:53 pm ET Yesterday, I hosted a Boston Marathon party for one of my co-workers who was running the Marathon. My apartment is on the route. The company was kind enough to pick up the tab. As a result we had the party catered with BBQ. The total catering bill was for [...] ...

April 21, 2008 at 4:19 pm ET Watching movies such as Cast Away or the latest Bond flick, the product placements are obvious enough. Cast Away was a movie length advertisement for FedEx.
Now NBC is ready to take it to the next level, and embed the marketing message as central premises of the show. Currently product placements is [...] ... (more) Thursday, April 17, 2008 Playing The No Pass Line (4 clicks)
From AskDong - view blog entries - visit this blog
April 17, 2008 at 1:16 pm ET I feel like that guy at the craps table who’s betting on the No Pass Line. For those who’ve never played craps, simplistcally there are two ways to bet, pass or no pass. Most players bet on the Pass Line. A few bet on the the No Pass Line. The latter [...] ... (more) Wednesday, April 16, 2008 From AskDong - view blog entries - visit this blog
April 16, 2008 at 12:20 pm ET With the housing market in a bit of a slump and interest rates low, I thought it would be a good time to buy my first home. I am planning on buying a condo in the next few months.
My question is this — I know the IRS allows you to take out up to [...] ... (more) Monday, April 14, 2008 Border War (6 clicks)

April 14, 2008 at 11:28 am ET My timing has never been the best. I purchased the apartment that I’ve lived in for the last year and half three months ago. Today I learned I might be in a border war. Yesterday, there were a number of trucks from a realty company parked in the back of [...] ... (more) Friday, April 11, 2008 Financial Aid, Do Whatever it Takes?? (3 clicks)

April 11, 2008 at 12:57 pm ET I was fascinated by the discussion that took place recently at The Simple Dollar around suggestion that Trent made about “trust.” which was actually in response to one his answers from his mailbag.

April 9, 2008 at 11:37 am ET Today’s Post is from Heather Johnson who is contributor at contributor for Credit Card Lowdown
This is, without a doubt, a difficult time to try and sell your home. With so many recent foreclosures, your house will be competing with a lot of other houses. Also, there are far fewer people being approved for a home [...] ... (more) Tuesday, April 8, 2008 Currency Traveling (3 clicks)

April 8, 2008 at 11:46 am ET The current state of the dollar has made international vacations much more difficult. 4 years ago, I went to London for vacation. I thought it was outrageously expensive then. 4 years ago the dollar was worth .56 British Pounds. Today the Dollar is worth .5 British pounds, a decline of [...] ...

April 7, 2008 at 11:24 am ET I filed my taxes the other day. I actually had most of my taxes already done almost a month ago, and just finished up some details. The Feds owe me about $350, and I owe the State about $600. These are numbers I can live with. Last [...] ... (more) Friday, April 4, 2008 Taking Over Management of my Parent’s IRA (6 clicks)
From AskDong - view blog entries - visit this blog
April 4, 2008 at 11:45 am ET A few weeks ago, I took over management of my parents rollover IRA plans (rolled over from 401ks). The volatile market was causing undue stress for my dad, and I thought his portfolio was also far too risky. I had been arguing that either I or my brother should take [...] ...

From AskDong - view blog entries - visit this blog
April 3, 2008 at 10:28 am ET Most Americans including myself assume that we’ll retire. We think of retirement as natural stage of our lives, not too different from puberty. Everyone goes through it we assume. The fact is retirement is a modern concept. Historically, and in most areas of the world people have worked up [...] ...

April 2, 2008 at 11:45 am ET April and the 1nd Quarter of 2008 started off with bang. All three major U.S. Indexes were up well over 3%. My investments were up as well, just not quite as much. My portfolio given the hedges has a better relative performance when the market is down. However, I won’t complain too much about the [...] ...

April 1, 2008 at 12:12 pm ET After reading this article on CNN, I felt sick in my stomach about the current state of American values.
