Back again

Tuesday, November 21st, 2006

I just realized I have not posted anything on this site for over seven months so I thought I should update this a bit. 

Pin-up Girls is fully up and operational that does not mean I will not be changing the look of the site I have a real nice template or theme as they call it in the Wordpress world but all the text is in Dutch and that does take sometime to translate it all and make other modifications.  Since I am no expert on this stuff it is all a learning curve.  But I have made fairly significant changes to pin-up girls so please go check it out.  I have  special section where I feature pin-up girl books which is still growing and a store that sells all sorts of merchandise again which still needs to grow.  I still need to add more content overall but that will be a never ending process.  I try to do something to it atleast once a week or so to keep up on it and hopefully don’t get put in the Google sandbox trust me you don’t want that to happen if you can help it.   

I decided to make a change to this site.  I may have to dump the blog idea for this site although I would like to try to incorporate it into the new look.   I don’t have a complete plan yet as to what exactly I will do with it however I need to do something.  I will spend some time over this Thanksgiving holiday to work on it but I am thinking the first of the year to move forward.  You never know though I could get on a roll and redo the whole thing this weekend.

Where have I been?

Tuesday, April 11th, 2006

I have to admit I’ve been lazy lately and have not put forth the effort I need to. I do think about it but just seem to always have something get in the way. The weekends have been beautiful of late and it makes it extreamly hard to work.

I have been thinking about getting in the insurance game. It would be a perfect addition to Driving Mexico. I just need to do the research on what it takes to be a licensed insurance agent. Once that happens I will sell Mexican insurance on line and hopefully get me a bit closer to that retirement money.

You know the main rule for going into business to sell it. And that is what I would like to do. Create a good website that has the traffic and inbound links. Get it making some money for me and then sell it to someone for a fair price. God I love this country and the fact that capitalisum is promoted. Anyway back on point.

I have not done much of anything with Pin Up Girls lately. I really need to sit down and make some pages and get more merchandise up and going. I’ve got a really good plan here I just don’t have all the knowledge to work this Wordpress platform and make it do all that I know it can. But it is powerful and easy to use I highly recomend trying it.

Realestate…

I am so close to having my licesnse for that but I need to take the test. And of course that means I have to study. I was good student in college but I didn’t work 60hours a week then either. I am going to take some vacation days and pay a toutor to get me through what I need to know. That is the only way I am going to be able to get it done. Find out the important things for the test.

Ok I’ll be back later.

The Guru Effect

Sunday, February 26th, 2006

Jim Cramer

What is the Guru Effect anyway? Basically the guru effect is when a high profile stock anaylist like Jim says that a stock is a good buy or sell the market realizes an immediate effect you can see it in the afterhours trading. An associate of mine is trying a sort of academic experiment with a way to trade stocks.

Have you ever watched Jim Cramer’s Mad Money? It’s a great show and it has taught me new ways to look at the stock market but that’s not what this is about. What they are trying to do over at Guru Effect is see how much of an influecne Mad Money has on the stocks that Jim pushes. I can only speak from anecdotal experiences with trying to buy a stock that Mad Money profiles.

For example; last summer he pushed Sears Holding Company by writing the ticker symbols SHLD on his knuckels so I went and bought a bunch of options that were due to expire in a week a very risky thing to do. I could have lost my shirt. I spent about $1000 per contract if memory serves correctly and made about $800 profit on each one. Not a bad return for a 48 hour investment however it was very unsettling to say the least. I actually jumped out a little too early and could have made even more. But like I said a very risky thing to do.

I think he has something with this experiement and I am going to keep and eye on it maybe even give it a go myself. If I do I will post my results here. Go check out his site if you are interested.
