In this section I talk about my experience with my rental property and tenants in Philadelphia. This post is a continuation from my previous post.
Dealing with bad tenants can cause headaches, and that is an understatement in my case. Below is an account of the struggle I have been going through.
On Wednesday night, October 29, [...]

Dow 8,829.04 +102.43 +1.17%
Nasdaq 1,535.57 +3.47 +0.23%
S&P 500 896.24 +8.56 +0.96%
The Dow closed positive for the fifth consecutive trading day. Five trading days ago, on November 20, the Dow closed at 7,552, and today, on November 28, the Dow closed at 8,829, a whopping gain of 17%!! What does this mean? Should we start [...]

Even though the last four days have been very positive in the stock market, we are still far from the end of the mortgage crisis. If you do short-term trades in the stock market, continue to trade with caution. If you invest for the long term, continue to be patient. If you are new to [...]

Dow 8,726.61 +247.14 +2.91%
Nasdaq 1,532.10 +67.37 +4.60%
S&P 500 887.68 +30.29 +3.53%
The Dow and S&P500 closed positive for the fourth consecutive trading days. I hope we can keep this momentum and turn the trend to the upside. We will have to see what Friday brings to the market.

Dow 8,479.47 +36.08 +0.43%
Nasdaq 1,464.73 -7.29 -0.50%
S&P 500 857.39 +5.58 +0.66%
Wall Street extends Dow’s rally to third day. I hope we can close positive for this week.

Dow 8,443.39 +396.97 +4.93%
Nasdaq 1,472.02 +87.67 +6.33%
S&P 500 851.81 +51.78 +6.47%
It is good to see another positive day in the market. I can only hope this rally will hold, as the previous ones were wiped out faster than you can say the word “rally.” We will have to see how well the market performs [...]

Dow 7,552.29 -444.99 -5.28%
Nasdaq 1,316.12 -70.30 -5.07%
S&P 500 752.44 -54.14 -6.71%
The three major indexes continue to fall and does not seem to hit anywhere near the bottom. It is difficult to predict how much lower we will go before the market turns around, but for now, the downtrend is very strong. Financial stocks took [...]

Dow 7,997.28 -427.47 -5.07%
Nasdaq 1,386.42 -96.85 -6.53%
S&P 500 806.58 -52.54 -6.12%
I am not surprised, the Dow drops again! And now the Dow is below 8,000 mark. I think we see enough red ticks already. Where is the rebound?

Dow 8,424.75 +151.17 +1.83%
Nasdaq 1,483.27 +1.22 +0.08%
S&P 500 859.12 +8.37 +0.98%
The markets were choppy today, but at least, they closed positive. There is nothing to be excited about. There are more down days than up days in the stocks market. The future does not look so bright. More news of job cuts are expected.

Citigroup is planning to cut more than 50,000 jobs. This will cause the unemployment rate to go even higher.
