Stocks, stocks, stocks
It’s been a long time since I thought about my stock portfolio. I suppose that’s just part of a buy & hold strategy. For the most part, buy & hold should mean "buy & forget about." Interestingly enough, some of the stocks I sold last year to lock a small profit have since soared. Tough…

NY Times Article on Housing Allowances
A YMX forumite posted a link to this NY Times article called, "Religion-Based Tax Breaks: Housing to Paychecks to Books" I think the article accurately described the issue.

After my last investment in Sirius (SIRI) the stock promptly lost another $.75. Thankfully, due to two great bits of news, Sirius made a nice rebound.

Doubling Down on Sirius
I like Sirius (SIRI) so much personally that I doubled down on it last night. The stock has been down as Howard Stern sells off his shares, but the company is good enough, it has good executive leadership, and the product itself is downright cool and developing. So after dumping Intel last week, Sirius is…
