If you the only to stay in, you can draw up to 5 cards, but you must beat the deck. (The top 5 cards are turned over) If you win you take the pot, if you loose, you must match the pot and the game goes on.

Going gold

July 9, 2009 5:00 pmLeave a Comment

gold coinsThis years ads promise to be just as funny and cutting edge even though many companies are watching the budgets with the current economic situation. There will be no car ads which makes sense as they are getting a major bail out package. So there will be some new comers to the Super Bowl ads that are sure to amuse and bring back some nostalgia at least for a some of us. We will still see the soft drink and beer ads and a few advertisers are trying out 3D as a means to showcase their products. There were actually commercials that were talking about gold and its increasing value that make it attractive to have IRA gold investments as well as 401K gold accounts. One of the previews that we saw was an ad for changing in your gold where they are featuring Ed McMahon and MC Hammer. What is great about this ad is that these are two individuals that at the height of their career were making great money and seemed to be set for life. Now both of these stars that take us back to the 1980′s are struggling a bit with their finances and this is the comical part of the ad. MC Hammer is selling all his gold chains that he was famous for wearing in his videos such as the classic ” Can’t Touch This”.

With the economy still sluggish people are looking for ways to help make ends meet and they are finding that the gold jewelry that they have laying around could actually be worth something. This is where gold IRA comes into the picture that allows you to diversify your portfolio. The price of gold has held its value and actually increased over the past few years thus making putting a gold 401K option something attractive. This is normal as people lose faith in the stock market they look to invest in more durable goods and precious metals benefit from this down turn in the economy. You can even find information on put gold in an IRA on sites like Gold Coins Gain where they have taken out the guess work and provided real solutions to the small investor in diversifying their portfolio.

A cleaner fuel source

July 2, 2009 1:56 pmLeave a Comment

clean fuelI have heard from many of you why I have not written more about Clean Coal. I have to admit that I am still a little behind on knowledge regarding this energy platform. I read into today’s WSJ that more Federal money is out there for the production and utilization of Clean Coal. It looks like 3.4 billion is out there for the taking and of course states are all in line to grab some market share of that money. First, I am thrilled whenever the government puts so much investment into energy. I love the fact that Coal can be found here in plentiful supply. I have seen the long lines of rail cars sitting in Wyoming waiting to be filled with coals that is literally just below the surface. It seems like a great opportunity. The idea is to capture the Carbon Dioxide so very little is let into the atmosphere. We have read about companies like Enigin that have energy consultants that are able to help businesses identify their nest energy savings and could even help with cleaner energy sources. What Rebecca Smith reports though is that these power plant projects are very expensive to build vs a Nuclear power plant; that is when looking at per unit of productive capacity. She also reports that another project was to convert coal into a combustible gas, then burn it to make electricity and the carbon dioxide pumped into the ground. But now an Odessa, TX plant will cost 1.6 billion dollars which is 10 times more than a modern gas fired plant. Thank you Ms Smith for your very informative article! So what to do?

Should wearing a helmet be mandatory

June 20, 2009 11:38 amLeave a Comment

About two years ago our neighboring state of Idaho was able to get enough votes to repeal the helmet law when riding motorcycles on public roads. I have to say while I am all for personal freedom one of the craziest things you can do is jump on a bike and head down the freeway with no helmet. While you may be a great attentive driver it is all the other cars on the road that may not see you and taking a spill at 50+ can be a one way ticket to the morgue. This has only spurred the sales of local bike shops as people challenge the status quo and head out onto the roads without a helmet. As the ability to get motorcycle financing has become easier younger riders that may have not previously owned a bike are making their first purchase. This has been a cause of concern of some of the die hard bikers that state the younger riders are taking a reckless approach to trying out their new bikes and that maybe the law should be looked at having a age restriction like they do for drinking in the state.

When it was announced that DHL would be pulling out of the US market in order to focus on other markets it sent a shock through shipping industry and speculation began on who might be next. The economy has taken its toll on companies and their cutbacks are now trickling down to the those transportation sources that help to deliver the goods to their customers. This current economic situation is helping shipping companies evaluate how they efficiently process shipments so that they are not wasting labor or time in moving items from one location to their final destination. Those organization will look to improve their efficiency’s by looking at loading dock equipment that provide a more economical and streamline approach in order to allow workers on the docks to move packages and large items from source to truck with less manpower.

Can we change the course

March 21, 2009 10:08 pmLeave a Comment

I was recently reading a story that was featured on the front page of Yahoo and broadcast on NBC. The title read “From CEO to pizza delivery”. Of course it grabbed the attention of many Americans as this was just another story of an unfortunate situation where someone has lost their high paying job in this tough economy. Only to help stir the fear that this crisis was not coming to an end and here is one more story to prove this lasting headline. But wait a minute this story was anything but that. The man in the video in fact had lost a CEO job that paid out over $750K a year and was now trying to support his family as a pizza delivery person. The fact that he actually quit his job over 4 years ago and tried to start his own hedge fund which failed in the first 2 years and it has been over 2 years since he held a job was just barley touched on.

They went onto to show that his family was having to sell most of their high end possession like their boats, cars, and even contemplating selling their made diamond engagement rings you feel sorry for this family. While I have no question that in today’s market it is more difficult to find a high end job the fact the headlines made it appear that this person recently lost their job has to stop. I recommend that anyone who reads the news daily or tunes into the doom and gloom shows that air daily to stop now. What we need are consumers who are willing to stop hanging on the fears that the media wants to keep reporting on and start living their lives again. It is about getting out and living your lives and spending within your means. This is the only thing that will get this great nation back on its feet.

Time to think about outdoors

March 17, 2009 12:23 amLeave a Comment

Here in the Pacific NW it has been a long winter and most of us are ready to see warmer temperatures and not have to look at snow for a long time. The official beginning to Spring is just a week a away and fishing state wide is starting to heat up as the fisheries that stocked many of the rivers and streams are releasing fish counts for those looking to catch trout, bass, and walleye. I have noticed that the local sports stores are starting to post daily updates on the local streams and lakes and what people are using to catch the local fish.
This year should see a greater number of Americans enjoying the outdoors as they plan to stay closer to home and spend less on traveling abroad. With the state of the economy the ability to enjoy the outdoors and maybe take up a new hobby like fishing could be just the ticket you and your family need. The time spent with your kids along a shoreline just hanging out with no TV and other distractions are memories that will always remember.
