It was down to $18.72 which made it a $2.09 (or 10%) haircut. I used to own Yahoo back in the glory […]

Recently I added my three letter dot com to my Sedo portfolio. Within a week or two, I received my first offer for the domain.
My three letter dot com is weak. Two of the letters are Z and Q, if that gives you a clue. According to the 3character.com Price Guide, the […]

Buffalo Wild Wings reported earnings tonight.

My second biggest […]

One of my goals is to increase the amount of money my website makes each month. I am currently 15% away from my monthly target by using Adsense alone.
I think I could easily surpass my target, if I could get into the Tribal Fusion publisher network.
I applied for entry almost a month ago but […]

Over the weekend I participated in Houston Startup Weekend. The goal was to implement an entire web company during ONE weekend. We didn’t quite reach our goal, but it was fun trying.
I’m not sure if it is actually possible to pull this off, but I do have some ideas on how to improve […]

On Monday I logged into my IRA to see how the morning was going. To my horror, I had a major drop. Every portfolio in the entire Universe was up on Monday, except mine.
On further investigation, it turns out that Walgreens had turned in a HUGE negative surprise. They missed earning estimates […]

On Friday night I became part of Houston Startup Weekend.
I met the group at the Stag Head bar around 6 PM. I don’t have an exact head count, but I think there were around 40 or so people there. The goal for the night was to choose the business idea we would develop […]
