BlogShares Sign Up

I still wonder what the point of BlogShares is. It looks interesting though, so I signed up for an account, nonetheless. I’m trying to claim my blog, too, and I should receive 1000 shares for claiming it. I looked at some of the richest BlogShares member there. The amounts look ridiculous. Take a look at [...]

I went to Atlantic City over the weekend with my friends and we went to play Texas Hold ‘Em in . It was the first time for one of my friends so I accompanied her at the 2/4 table. There were two seats available on the table so we sat there. On one of the [...]

Cisco Hits The $20 Mark

Cisco has hit and closed at the highest point today since the beginning of this year, at a whopping $20 a share. I was a little short sighted on selling early, but I’m satisfied at least I ended up with a profit. My friend is holding on to over 500 shares since he bought it [...]

There [...]

Variable Annuity Account

I spoke to a financial advisor from Bank of America today and he suggested a variable annuity account for my parent. He explained to me what is it and how it benefits the owner.
