A Change
Typically, I do a monthly blog update.  This month we get away from a single-blog focus and move towards a more robust online business update – this blog being a major component of the overall picture.  You will notice in this month’s update that I provide a little less detail on traffic, but instead focus on breaking down the metrics on a number of what I call “web properties.”  I hope you enjoy…
Introduction
To start off this month’s online business picture, I want to explain why I do this.  If …

The US markets have enjoyed a nice run in the last month (nominally speaking of course – since they are in the red if you price them in gold).  The Dow closed above 11,000 last week for the first time since May.  It’s amazing how the market action determines how most people feel about the economy.  Back in August, thing “felt” much worse.  People were convinced we were heading for a double-dip because the market was acting like it.  Now, we get news of QE2, the market goes up, and …

Last month, stocks rallied big time. It was the best September in a long time. Why? I thought the economy sucked! The following quote should help you to understand why

In my first post for 20s Money, I discussed how to analyze your personal financial statement.   One of the major points I tried to make in that article was that “home ownership is not all it’s cracked up to be.”  When I originally wrote that, I realized that it might be slightly controversial and I indeed received a few emails disputing my claim.
So, with this post, I want like to expand on my original statement and make a more complete argument AGAINST home ownership, especially …

Gold continues to run this morning.  This is on the news of yet another sovereign power revving up the printing presses.  Today it is Japan.  It is truly a race to the bottom in global currencies, and we’ve got plenty of room to go on this competitive devaluation process, which means gold has plenty of room to go as well?
