Ever since the straddle’s did not work out, I have been thinking about a covered call strategy, but I didn’t get a chance this weekend to model it out and see if it is a good idea or not.
In general, covered calls are a conservative strategy, where you sell an option for someone else to [...]
This weekend turned out to be a rather short weekend for us. My sister was in town for a conference starting Wednesday and she left today. Some what of a surprise, she stayed with us Saturday after her conference finished up until I ran her to the airport around noon today.
My sister, Mary [...]
While reading Mastery, I decided that I needed to make some changes to what I was working on.
First, I am going to stop pursuing online money making projects. I turned off Adsense, which will decrease my yearly income by $0.25. I will continue to let GreatDaneHosting.com run on autopilot and I [...]
Mastery - The Keys to Success and Long-Term Fulfillment
Mehdi at Strong Lifts posted a book list not too long and I took note of the mental training books. Mastery was not weight lifting specific, so I picked it up to see what it had to say about mentally preparing yourself for training that I [...]

If you do not expect the stock market to stand still, but you have no clue which direction [...]
I have been back on a modified stronglifts’ 5×5 for just over two weeks now, and again my appetite has steadily increased to a level I find ridiculous.
Last year about this time my schedule allowed for me to lift 3 times a week while still in school. No swimming, just lifting, and [...]
I have spent (wasted?) my day reviewing my finances, reading financial news and blogs.
Most investments have likely been affected in the downward slide of the collective stock markets lately, and mine is certainly included. After reading Kiplinger’s yesterday, half of SFO today, a lot of financial news and taking a detailed look at where [...]
This blog just sold for $15 million to Bankrate.com, the website that everyone uses for, well, bankrates.
Congratulations to Johns Wu for providing a reason to use banking and profitable in the same sentence.
I was wondering the other day if property taxes kept Texas from participating in the real estate bubble. If you look at the tax rates by state, you will see that Texas is ranked second in median tax rate nationwide.
What I have noticed is that there has not been a significant increase [...]
