Invest Now!

Now is the best time to get back into the stock market, well a few months back where. But stocks are still low, so getting back in is right. I’m not going to give any financial advise, or what stocks to buy, but I will say do your own research. Don’t just depend on what the financial brokers are saying. Better yet, if your using a broker fire him or her. Did you know that most of the rich people are doing just that. Most of the wealthy are taking on their own investments, or looking for new ways. There’s even a book out called Fire Your Broker that talks about how to find a competent, ethical advisor. So if your looking for a new adviser or broker do your own research. Don’t end up with a crook like Bernie Madof.

Dewalt Power Tools And NASCAR!

Dewalt Power Tools has pulled out of NASCAR, starting next season. What does this mean for the driver of that car, Matt Kenseth? My guess is that Roush Fenway Racing will need to find another sponsor, a big sponsor. This just comes to show how bad things still are with the economy. If you didn’t know already, Dewalt Power Tools have been sponsoring Kenseth for 10 seasons, which is a long time. If a big sponsor like Dewalt pulled out, I wonder who’s next. Sponsors come and go, but lately they’ve been dropping like flies. I also think troubles within NASCAR isn’t helping things. For the last few years now NASCAR executives have been really messing things up. I just hope things just soon, or there will be no more NASCAR.

Paulson Testified!

Today Former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson testified that he did somewhat force Bank of America Corp to purchase Merrill Lynch. And that he did threaten to remove BOA management as well as CEO Kenneth Lewis if they refused to purchase Merrill. He said that it was legal for him to do so. After all the U.S government owes most of BOA via TARP money. Paulson also stated that everything was kept private so investors wouldn’t get scared and start selling their shares. He said he didn’t want to make things worse by going public. So basically what he’s saying is that he can do whatever he wants with our money, which is crap. A lot of people think Lewis is the victim here, but he’s not. He played Paulson just the same to get more money to reduce the losses of the deal. In the end, the American people lost about $20 billion dollars that we’ll never see again, and that’s what’s sad here. All the banks that would have failed, should have failed, and that includes BOA.
