Ok, so here I go at my first attempt at blogging. I never thought I would even try this foreign world, but my out-spoken mind just drove me to it. It is only natural that I talk about finances, the stock market, and just the economy in general, because I love to talk about it all. Maybe this blog will give my wife a little reprieve from my obsessiveness to talk about it.
I am sure the first question anyone has is: “What the hell makes this guy think he can give me financial advice!?!?” My response: “Common Sense!” Before even starting to write this blog, I was trying to think of a title for it. My first thought was “So simple it’s stupid”. The more and more I thought about it, the more I decided that was not the most accurate title, because none of this stuff is “simple.” The logic behind it is simple, but the actual guts to take this common sense knowledge and put $50K against it is not simple at all. The logic is there right in front of our eyes, but to trust it, and to not over-think it, is not easy at all. That is why I just went with an old nick-name of mine from college.
I won’t get into anything specific in this blog, but some of the topics I intend to cover include our recent economic hiccup, then expand on where we are going, what is influencing our economy, and maybe even some commentaries on news articles that I find either informative, or even amusing.
Enjoy, and stick with me here as I enter this cyber world.
