It was a sad day. I sold Intel this morning after holding it for about a year. It topped out in the $28 range while I was in Northern Ireland last summer and has been at a steady decline ever since. So, goodbye.

About a week ago I put out a limit order for a stock I own, Calgon Carbon. With a lot of the big names not endorsing it anymore, I wanted out. Intel and Sirius have taught me that lesson… when the analysts get out, I need to as well.  (Net portfolio loss in 2006 is…

Very exciting news was released today. Starting in March Blue Collar Radio will launch on Sirius Satelite Radio channel 103. (See news story) There are already several celebrity stations on Sirius, this will just kick it up a notch in my books.

From time to time people comment to me about my weird facination with the stock market and my unique ability to plan for retirement before I am 30… I don’t think it’s weird, I just think it’s good stewardship to have a simple plan for the future.Here is an excellent article from CNN about "how…
