This is the last Sunday of the year and I’d just like to say that I will miss the lazy Sundays of 2007!! I’m sure everyone had a lot of fun during the holidays but it’s about time to turn our focus back to our careers and goals for 2008. Hopefully, reading these [...]

Today and tomorrow Next Monday is the last day to sell losing investments because you can deduct taxes from it. In the US, we are taxed on net capital gains for the year, which means that we should sell stocks that we have a capital lost in to offset all the capital gains, minimizing taxes. [...]

How many of us have to work today and feel really bad? How many of us are complaining that someone we know doesn’t have to work the same time we are grinding away? Why do we even care what other people have or don’t have to do?
I’m sure this won’t make the rest of us [...]

I’m very bummed out because I lost $50 yesterday. I was in the Toronto airport coming back to California when I bought some ice wine for my colleagues in the duty free shop. I contemplated for a long time whether I should make the purchase because the ice wines were pretty expensive but [...]

As you have probably heard, ETrade is having a customer appreciation day where they are waiving all trading commissions. So, I logged into my account just now and realized that I didn’t really want to buy or sell any securities. I reminded myself that I shouldn’t trade a stock or fund just because [...]

When is it appropriate to spend more money to improve our standard of living? This is a question that I’ve asked myself numerous times after I started living on my own a few years ago. After much discussion with my soon-to-be wife, we finally decided to move out of our current one [...]

Focusing on work during the holidays is extremely hard. In fact, I heard from the radio that one in three people admit that they are thinking about Christmas more than work in December. With all the shopping lists and parties to worry about, there just doesn’t seem to be any space to fit work in [...]

A huge “Thank you!” to everyone that sent me your regards while my grandfather is in the hospital. Although I wish I could stay here forever, I will be flying back to the US for work in a couple days. For those that are concerned, he is recovering very well and he should be able [...]

He would treat all his employees and one family member one night of free accommodation the night of our annual Christmas party. Usually how it [...]

I’m in Canada and my grandfather is doing better now even though he will still be in intensive care for another few weeks. It is a sign of relief for the whole family and hopefully it’s nothing but good news from here on out.
