The Face Behind Facebook.com

This is an incredible story. Everyone I know that is in college has heard of TheFaceBook.com. It is a very addictive social network where students can link up with other students and share information with each other.



Well today I received my Fortune magazine issue for November and an article on Mark Zuckerberg was in there. A 21 year old that has a business that is worth $100 million. That only does 1 of 2 things; 1) Motivates you to do better in life so you can eventually reach that level or 2) Envy him greatly and do nothing with yourself but sit back and hat on him.

Google Stock Now $400

Google stock closed a little over $400 today. I remember watching the Jim Cramer's show Mad Money this past summer when the stock was around $300-350 and he said that their stock woould reach $400. However, there were a lot of skeptics who did not believe him and actually hiw creditbility was question since the very next few days Google stock dropped. But looks who gets the last laugh now.

If you would have listen to Cramer this summer you would have at least profit $50-100 if you bought it this summer. Though just imagine if you bought this stock a year ago at $160 and even better their IPO at around $85. You would be real excited about today.

DealCatcher.com

Though, I shouldn't be helping this company promote because the did not hire me for a job. At first everything was good the lady wanted to know my schedule, so I can come in for an interview. The following day which was Monday because the lady called me on Friday she sent me an email saying the position was already full. How messed up is that.

Anyway this website I think is good for you if your the market for new computer, ipod or just anything. This website obtains coupons from all these major companies and puts it on their website so you can walk away with a nice deal.

The company name is DealCatcher.com and the are a Wilmington base company. The founders went to University of Delaware, however one of them didn't fully graduate.

Check it out! You might find something you like.

10 Tips for Choosing a Stock Broker

For a long time everyone has been telling you should invest in this or that, but the problem you had was not investing it was how to start.  Well at least that was the problem I had before I got started.  And, I am pretty sure some of you had the same or similar problem.  My personal experience and an email that I received from a friend about learning how to invest led me to create this post.  A post that offers 10 tips on how to choose that stock broker that is perfect for you.

  • Discount vs. Full-Service Broker

  • A discount broker is a broker that offers very little any advice and only gets commission from purchases.  A full-service broker offers more investment assistance, but at some fee.  So if you are a person that might need help with you investments, then a full-service may be the better choice.  However, if you plan on making all the decision by yourself than a discount broker may be the better choice for you.

  • Broker Accessibility

  • Can this broker be reached easily, if not will there be someone cover for him or her.  On a real busy trading day it is very significant to know if you broker can be reached.

  • Shop Around

  • Meet several brokers and talk to them.  It is very important for you to build a rapport with them and to feel very comfortable.  This person will be handling your money and investing it, so it won’t be a good idea if you feel intimated by him or her.  If that is the case find someone else.

  • Get Referrals

  • Do some research and find out which brokers other people used and why they choose them.  It’s always advisable to work with someone you heard good things about.

  • Broker that understands your needs

  • Having a broker that really understands your financial goals and needs can be very beneficial.  They should be able to determine which investments best suit your needs and what type of investor you are; conservative, aggressive or somewhere in-between.

  • Background Research

  • Find out the brokers background and strategy.  Make sure they are properly licensed, and then find out about his or her experience, training and certifications.  After that determine their technique towards investing and what criteria they use to make their decision.

  • A Broker With Your Interest In Mind

  • Some brokers may persuade you to investments that may give them higher commissions, but don’t give you any value.  If the broker acts like he or she is offering a “sure thing” be very suspicious.  Stocks are never a guarantee.

  • Defining Commission Fees

  • Find out what are the commission fees and how are they determine.  Make sure you obtain a fee schedule that details are their fees.  Keep in mind that an annual fee, rather than a transaction-based fee, can eliminate "churning," a practice whereby a broker is running up commissions by making unnecessary transactions.

  • Additional Charges

  • Discover all additional fees and charges you will be expected to pay.

  • “Deep Discount” Brokers

  • Be cautious when you hear of “Deep Discount” brokers.  Only use ones that are reliable and that you heard someone else uses them.  And, remember always read the fine print.  Lastly, if you do end up with someone you really are not satisfied with, you can always change.



    If you have any other helpful tips or advice, please post them in the comment section. Thank you.
