13 things about vegas you probably won’t learn till you’re there ( cause its not on tv)

13. cops exist, but you will never see them. I spotted about 1 uniformed police officer. The rest are plain clothed.
12. $7 buffets do in fact exist here, but you’d need a car to get to these off-the-strip places. Good deals can be found in the “old vegas” aka downtown vegas on fremont st. $11 [...]

does anyone else notice….

The hosts of CNBC seem to be on tv at all hours of the day.
Namely Cramer, Bartiromo and Bernnett
also known as madmoney, moneyhoney and streetsweetie.

From 8am (before the morning bell) till 9pm (fast money) or even 10pm (mad money) theyre constantly cycling through cable tv as if they never sleep, yet somehow Bartiromo is [...]

“I’m tryin’ to murder everything movin”

So one day, some time ago, in Toys R’ us (far far away, but really in time square) while waiting in line to pay for the newly released Mario Galaxy, (me and 50 other over-aged people that came on their lunch) I noticed that about every 2 minutes some [...]

The sinking dollar….and…

Matthias Jungkind, a 34-year-old financial controller from Düsseldorf, Germany, finds the low exchange rate laughable, literally. Every time he saw the dollar price tag on an item, he said, he giggled involuntarily

The dollar is actually looking like it is heading for a year end rally. Sadly, the difference is still laughable at best.

Corporate Christmas parties….

I’ve never had the luxury of working for a smaller company, which I can only picture looking like a Dunder Mifflin Christmas party…
but I do hear horror stories of gift grabs, secret santas and eggnog. Sad.

Anyways, leave it up to the big banks to party it up in style during a financial crisis of [...]

Books!

I’ve read just about every trading book out there (with an interesting title)

So to save time, I’d rather just give you a list of books I thought were worth reading.

vitamin water

Personally I’m a big fan of Vitamin Water except for the part where they sold off to coke for 4 billion (@#$#@$).
Anyhow, they’ve been coming out with new flavors and I picked up one of these -

Now if you ever wanted to know what bath and body works tasted like, pick it up for [...]

fugly

As if you needed any more proof that there was a negative correlation between looks and returns, fatty stevie is living proof.
One of the few known pictures of him avail., can you blame him? All his chins barely fit in the photo. You’d think someone worth millions would buy some decent clothes or something….you’d [...]

Common $ents

Walking by Rockafellar I noticed something different. Instead of homeless people on the benches…or Tina fey I saw this–

Common $ents galore. Its called the ‘penny harvest field’ measuring 30 feet by 165 feet containing $1 million in pennies.
At least thats how much it was when it started. As I was passing by, tourists and [...]
