Surf is my mentor!
Well, thanks to my new mentor I have decided to bulk at least a little. Seems like the last few times I’ve found myself with a decision, she’s right there to give me some great advice. Surf, if you are reading this, you are the greatest! Not to mention that you look great for your age 
! Kidding aside, she is one fantastic looking lady, who also happens to be sweet and has done an awesome transformation.
So, now I am slowly adding some chicken here and an egg or two there. What I’m doing is really a mini-bulk which Surf said really worked well for her.
I still haven’t been able to log in as much as I’d like, but I’ll take busy at work. It was so slow up until the 4th of July and it has picked up since. Not as much as we’d like, but it is a positive sign.
I’m a little pissed about the government spending $700 billion to get into the junk bond market or the bailout as everyone calls it. I’m not sure why they need to buy these bonds which are backed by real property when the problem is a frozen market. Why not drop the Sarbannes-Oxley "Mark it to Market" rule for subprimes then extend FHA insurance to these bundles of mortgages? Not all of the mortgages are in default and the cost would probably be in the $40 billion range. These securities would have some value again and trading would resume and the banks can sort out their own mess. These bundles will have value again as housing regains its traction, and I really don’t think that the government is going to actually use the money that it could make to pay down the debt or shore up Social Security when they can spend it on some stupid earmark that will continue to insure their election. Besides, it smacks of socialism.
No matter what, everything will be O.K. in the end. If it’s not O.K. then it’s not the end.
