Today I received my paycheck a week early along with a $750 Christmas bonus (more like $500 after taxes were taken out).  It's good to get the money early for shopping, but now I don't get paid for 3 weeks.  It's just psychological because I'm getting next weeks paycheck early, but 3 weeks seems like a long time.  Oh well... I haven't wrote much on the site because I ...

I checked on one of my holdings after closing and I saw where Coldwater Creek has fallen about 16% in after hours trading.   I'll be getting my ESPP statement next week. I'll be posting my numbers from that.  Also I'm trying to save up $2k to pay for my ESPP in one lump sum for the year.  That will boost my paycheck up by about $75 each paycheck. I'll ...

Allied Capital Corporation (NYSE: ALD)?  I've been looking for new places to put some of my money once I get out of my current holdings.  I'm looking for a somewhat more permanent home that pays dividends.  I want to start in January setting about half of my left over money into dividend paying companies and the other half into paying off one of my student loans.  This is ...

I was reading an investment blog and found this article that mentions that you should check your mutual fund holdings and compare them to make sure they are diversified from one another. The writer uses two funds as an example with one being Amerifunds Washington Mutual A (AWSHX) and the other being American Century Select Inv (TWCIX). One is classified as a value fund while the ...

We want to cut expenses. Right? Well right now I'm working on setting up my personal finances to where I look at myself as a company. I'll be issuing 10,000 shares, ...

This month I have birthday money that I've deposited along with reimbursement from a trip I made for work. That is where my Misc. Income came from. I'm surprised that my total income was this high. Credit cards is higher because I had a $200 prescription. I had 2 tithe checks go through this month. Overall I think I had a pretty ...

Today Coldwater Creek shares fell $4.51 (-25.93%) to $12.88. About 3 months ago sold all of my shares that I held at $25.04. I'm VERY tempted to jump back in at this price of $12.88, which I believe is a market overreaction from the poor sales data that came out today. I know the sales is bad, but I don't think it was worth a ...

Today I got my new credit card in the mail after the first one they sent got lost in the mail.  I haven't activated it yet because I've been at the Dr's office and hospital for most of the day due to kidney stones.  I had to buy $200 in medication, but ended up putting it on my old card that doesn't get rewards, which sucks. That's all the ...
