I’m Buying Shares of this Iconic Toy Maker
The key to finding a winning investment involves a degree of far-sightedness. You need to anticipate what a company's financial results may look like 12-18 months from now, even as Wall Street analysts base their projections on the next quarter's results. The key is to get involved with the stock before Wall Street finally turns bullish on a company's prospects.

Management has been laying the foundation for growth during the past year or two, and has cautioned that a payoff will take time. But most investors are in no mood to look ahead; they're simply looking at current results.

As a guy, shopping is not at the top of my list of things that I enjoy. I do enjoy seeing someone open something that I have thought about, purchased, wrapped (poorly), and given, but the process of shopping drives me crazy.
Many people are starting to do alternatives to gifts for Christmas, as well as other times of the year. My wife and I have talked about this at times, too. Since we get so much throughout the year, why would we just get “something else” for Christmas? Also, as families expand and there are more people to purchase gifts for, Christmas and birthdays can begin to get very expensive.

How Would Dave Ramsey’s Home Buying Advice Work When the Bubble Bursts?
I write this post primarily to satisfy my own curiosity. What am I curious about? Just how much difference Dave Ramsey’s home buying recommendations would make to those who bought their homes at the height of the housing balloon, just before it burst.

Do “iBuys” Lead to More Buying?
It all stated in 2005 with a special gift for our son – an iPod.
That was first time we used the description “iBuy” because the nearly $ 100 device was almost worthless on its own. Unless we already owned the music CD, most of the songs were purchased online for 99-cents at the similarly named iTunes store.
The opportunity to buy never ceased.
