Today is our 7 year anniversary. I am so grateful for the years I have had with my wonderful wife Katherine. She has helped make me so much of a better man than I would have managed without her. I had a birthday yesterday and realized that everyone put a negative connotation around a higher age, yet with a higher anniversary come respect (as it should). I think there should be more respect and desire for age too (though I understand why there isn’t).
Anyway, staying married is a great accomplishment in today’s society. I am very thankful for my marriage today and I look forward to what the rest of our days on Earth will bring for us.
TSHO is as pinksheet stock that is exploding. I mentioned TradeShow Marketing Company to you about 3 months ago. Back in November TSHO had made a strong rebound from the market crash of 2008. It was trading around its record high back then. Today the Tradeshow Marketing Co. stock has soared to $1.37. Thats over a 100 % return in 3 months if you had listened to me back in November and taken advantage of this robust company.
Its not over yet. I have been with the company since the beginning and with what I know about the company, I believe there is a fortune to be made with this company in even as a long term investor. But if you just want substantial short term returns they are there. TradeShow Marketing has over 100 slots scheduled to air their first infomercials beginning Feb, 22nd. I expect the stock to come back down 10 or 20 cents in over the next couple weeks and then spike back up to more record highs at the airing of the infomercials. Whether short or long term this looks like a stock that will make a lot of you rich. Happy trading.
Richard Branson and the Virgin Galactic team unveil their revolutionary space machine. SpaceShip Two was designed with the purpose of taking citizens into space and is on track to fulfill its promises within the next 2 years. Many citizens have already paid the $200,000 price for their ticket on one of the first suborbital flights. In addition, over 80,000 citizens have expressed interest in a trip on the SpaceShip Two. This is good news and encouraging of success for Richard Branson and his Virgin Galactic company. What seemed questionable to say the least just a few years ago is now promising.
An unmaintained and seeminly uneducated kid walks into a barber shop and the barber wispers to his customer ”This is the dumbest kid you’ll ever meet. Watch this!”
The barber holds out a dollar bill in one hand and 2 quarters in the other while motioning to the boy. The barber says “take your pick, son”.
The without a word the kid scurries off with the two quarters. To which the barber concludes to his customer “See, what’d I tell ya? Stupid boy, he’ll never learn!”
When the barber finishes up and the customer exits the shop he spots the boy in front of the ice cream store up the street. Meeting up with the boy he inquires “Son, can I ask you a question? Why did you pick the quarters instead of the dollar bill?”
Taking a break from licking his cone he replied “I turned down the dollar because the day I take it, the game is over!”
TradeShow Marketing Company is a strong pink sheet stock that trades under the symbol TSHO. TSHO capitalizes on the 5 most profitable avenues of marketing; trade shows, infomercials, retail, internet and wholesale. They have been public for years as they have built a solid foundation for this powerful company. When investors pulled from the market in 2008 the stock suffered along side the rest of the market. TradeShow Marketing Company stayed steadfast and raised the money to get their products manufactured as well as pursue 3 new retail stores for their subsidiary company, Sandstrom OnTV co. As a result TSHO stock has rebounded and is continuing to see explosive growth. With products under contract to go to infomercial this is a safe pick for me. For savvy investors that enjoy the potential fortunes that come from playing with a bit more risk, TSHO is one you want to research and keep your eye on.
Royce Gracie MMA Fight Night was hosted by CFP (Carolina Fight Promotions) and was live at the RBC Center in Raleigh, NC on Saturday. This was Carolina’s mixed martial arts competition not UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship). UFC 104 was broadcast immediately following Royce Gracie’s “Carolina Crown” event.
We got tickets last minute to make a night out and enjoy the show. Although there were some less talented fights, there were also very good and highly skilled fights. As I’m sure it is their mission I saw some fighters that showed discipline and talent that I expect to see in the UFC soon.
The night was very eventful. Royce Gracie received an award from CFP. Gracie also presented all the awards for the night. We even witnessed a marriage proposal by a fighter from the octagon after his fight. The main event ended at about 1 minute into the first round by tap out due to a triangle, an exciting finish to fight night.
This is a horrifying video of the side effects of a vaccine with much more testing than the H1N1 or Swine flu vaccine. I believe the media is putting so much hype in H1N1 “disease” but the facts just aren’t there. Medical offices are using online criteria to confirm Swine Flu that is no more than the symptoms of the regular flu. For 5 years I lived near WSU campus where supposedly 2000 cases broke out in this small community the week back to school. I knew/know hundreds maybe even thousands of people in the small communities there and still have family and close friends there. I have yet to hear of a single person I know (and my connections run very broad) that has had H1N1 since it was born. The odds of suffering a serious side effect from this vaccine are astronomically higher than the chances of winning the lottery and in my opinion even getting Swine Flu. I say let the one pushing this nonsense hype be the ones to drink the Kool-aid.
I must confess I am addicted to Crocs. Several years ago I had severe foot problems. I had to massage my feet for a few minutes in the morning before getting out of bed. If I didn’t it felt like I was walking on glass and I regularly pulled muscles or tendons in my feet. I had heard about Crocs for a couple years but refused to buy them for 2 reasons. One, I thought it was a fad and I despise doing things to join the fad. Two, the original Crocs are down right hideous and I thought looking like a clown would draw a lot of attention. Finally, I gave in to try something to help my feet. After about 2 1/2 weeks I felt no more pain in my feet. It felt like a miracle. Crocs are all I have worn on a day to day basis for the past 3 1/2 years. After my first pair I discovered Crocs.com where I learned that Crocs has over 100 different styles of shoes, sandles, boots etc. Some even attractive designs. I have even bought a pair of the dress Crocs for when I have my business meetings for Accelerated Wealth. When I tell people that are anti Crocs like I was, they are unaware that Crocs has dozens of fashionable styles. My wife even wears them sometimes when she dresses up. Here are some sample pictures of the Crocs golf shoe, dress shoe, and even a pair of heels. Check out crocs.com to see more of what they offer.
I don’t want to give away the video so I will limit my post. This reminds me of one of my favorite quotes, by Charles Swindoll. This is the paraphrased short version.
“The more I live the more I realize the impact attitude has on life. Attitude is more important than facts, the past, education, money, circumstances, failures, success, what people think, say or do. It is more important that appearance, gifts, or skill. It will make or break a government, business, church or home.
The amazing thing is that we have a choice about our attitude every day. We can’t control the past, peoples actions or the inevitable. All we can do is play on the one thing we have, our attitude. I’m convinced life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.”
It has been almost 3 months since my operation so I have been physically lazy for much longer than that. I am doing physical therapy twice a week and doing the light upper body exercises that they allow me in between therapy. I have been taking long walks for a month or so and started light jogging a couple weeks ago. I went out this morning thinking I could take it more seriously. I ran the better part of a mile with a walking break about half way. I tell you, it sucks trying to get back in shape. Not only did my legs feel like they were going to fall of, but my lungs burned from what I think they call lactic acid. Despite the headache, pain, and wanting to vomit, it was a good step in the right direction. I know I will have to push through the pain quite a bit more before it becomes comfortable.
I am looking forward to starting up the P90X workout, but I know it will be the distant future before I am capable of any of P90X. If anyone has any suggestions to help getting back into shape please don’t hesitate to share them with me.
