Buying Opportunity Has Improved For Investors Willing To Take On A Bit More Risk In Exchange For Higher Returns

Investors put a huge sum of money in bonds over the past year and a half as they sought refuge from the more volatile stock market. Another driver: the needs of a growing number of retirees who want steady income and can’t stomach the stock market’s ups and downs.

However, bond investors face some big threats. Interest rates are near zero and can go nowhere but up. This would trim bond prices and erode a key source of bond returns. Long-term inflation is also a risk. And so many investors have shifted into bonds that there’s talk of a bubble.

Happiness, Success and Business: How to Have it All (Part Two of a Two-Part Series)
Some are of the mistaken belief that you can’t have it all. What if you can? In fact, what if achieving greater happiness was the key to achieving success in your business?

Last week we began this two-part series by talking about self-sabotage and fear of success.  Now that you’ve addressed this fear and taken steps to overcome it, we’ll talk about happiness, success and business: how to have it all.

While not all business owners are happy, we’re guessing that many of the successful ones are.  But we don’t think they’re happy because they’re successful.  We believe the opposite is the case; they’re successful because they’re happy.  How does that work?

Why I don’t golf in Arizona

I don’t think those surgical gloves are going to work!
At least he looks cool with that Nike hat.

Think this may hurt? He fell backwards into the cactus playing a desert course after a lot of drinking.
It took paramedics over three hours to pull cactus out before he could go in the ambulance to the hospital.

This video was taken on July 3rd, 2010 in Fort Worth, Texas, just after the first few days of rain we received here from Hurricane Alex. This person just planted a lemon tree, a lime tree and a blueberry tree, and had been working in the yard a bit and keeping an eye on things. Since this rain has come through many of the plants appear to be burned or chemically damaged. He’s not trying to be an alarmist at all- he’s just attempting to be a realist here. If that hurricane Alex, which grew vigorously in the Gulf, sucked up all that Gulf moisture, including that toxic ‘Corexit crap’ that BP has been dispersing, (which evaporates into the Gulf air as well as becomes part of that SAME Gulf moisture)…just dumped some of that toxic stuff all the way up here? If it gets in our water? What are the health effects? Man- someone better start asking these questions…from what he’s found- this toxic crap will CERTAINLY give us cancer. He will be bathing in it and washing his dishes in it. His kids will be spraying it on themselves while playing in the front yard this summer. We need to be aware- go out and look at your trees and plants for crying out loud! And stay out of the rain! Keep your kids out of the rain! Be safe!
