MSFT = Good Investment

Posted on June 3rd, 2006 in Uncategorized by Smarty

MSFT’s stock has been crushed lately. At Friday’s closed of 22.76, it’s one of the lowest prices MSFT has seen in years. It looks like a good long term investment from here. If you have some money to invest and don’t need to cash it out any time soon, MSFT would be a good buy at this point, and it being a blue chip, it also comes with very low risk.

Frugal Tip for Saved Pennies

Posted on June 2nd, 2006 in Uncategorized by Smarty

Some of you may have a lot of pennies or loose change saved up in a jar. The best use for them is to buy one-cent stamps since the stamp rate has gone up. Last week, I went to the post office and used my pennies to buy 12 one-cent stamps. It was a great way to get rid of the change and get something useful at the same time. (Rating 5 out of 5 stars!!)

Another idea is to pay taxes for items that cost 99 cents or a dollar. That’ll take away seven to eight pennies. (Rating: 4 out of 5 stars)
