The Dow went over 13,000 again as the Federal Reserve hints that it might lower interest rates. Last night I was telling my wife that it is time for a recession; America has invested in companies that are full of liquid for way to long.

Gambling For Dollars

Where’s the safest place to invest my money in these troubled times? Have you heard the expression don’t put your all of your eggs in one basket? This is good when you have a booming economy, right now it might be a 75, 30 split when dividing my eggs. With the stock market, it truly is a gamble. If you invest in something that suddenly has a problem, that stock is surely to go down. You might be thinking that it takes a risk to get a great reward, this is true. When you invest wisely, wisely meaning that you do your homework, you can take a risk based upon calculated studies. That is different than leaving all your money in a stock that has given you indications of falling returns.

Safe Haven For My Money

So I take 70% of my eggs and take them to a safe place, where is that? CD’s give a decent return, with out all the risk; Treasury Bonds give some safety as well. Go to your bank and ask them what some investment options they offer are and what is the percentage it will return over the years you want to invest.

Money To Burn

When times are good this is when you can put your money in some high risk investments and either watch them grow or watch your money go up in smoke. This is the nature of the beast.

Have you finally reached above a 0 in PR? Well that hit for me and still I am looking for the silver lining in the clouds. If you thought that people would flock to your site because your Page Rank is higher, your wrong.  I could give you a list of blogs that live on their page rank, but I won’t. Not going to waste my time on that, instead I will let you in on a little secret about page rank. No matter what page rank you are, you still have to pull in the readers. 

How Do I get Readers

Getting people to read your articles takes a lot of work. You need to get yourself into some of the blogging communities.

There are many blogging communities that you can enroll in and start becoming part of a large group of people that have the blogging virus like you do.

Rich Content

You need to write articles that have rich content and are worth the reader’s time. If you come to a place where you are having writers block than you need to take a break from reading and write an article a week. If your article is well written it is worth the reader’s time, then they will come back. Remember who you are writing to, if it you are trying to teach people something, don’t skip any steps and explain things in a way where everyone can understand.

The Excited Southerner

My wife would say this is me when I am trying to help her with a computer problem. This is when I thank God for a very understanding wife and give her lots of kisses for staying with me, even when I get computer crazy and click so fast that she can’t even see what I am doing. Try and not go way over everyone’s head when trying to teach them something you are good at.
