Female. 41. Single.
Long-time reader. Used to post a lot. Now am too busy running my biz. Just end up skimming.

Used to organize all of the Piggs meet-ups too. I’d say we were 60/40, men being 60%. Or maybe we were such strong women that we seemed more????

Also, for the other thread the other day where someone was saying he’d never met a business owner that was liberal – I should add my name to that list too.

Female. 41. Single. Liberal. 🙂

Thanks for asking that question, Hippmatt. Sometimes I think I’m losing my mind when I see the headlines.

I’m learning to steer away from what I call Consumer McMedia, (Yahoo news, MSN etc.) and just read the Sunday editions of the WSJ and NY Times. The Economist is the best for well-written, digested news analysis. Those hourly updated news websites really can’t offer any kind of analysis because their content changes too rapidly, and very often the take-away is inaccurate in the long-term precisely because the content changed. We have to force ourselves to ignore this content, and focus on the big picture.

I think yesterday’s rally will be short-lived, and we’ll see more fluctuations continue. (Let’s see what the market does in the next few days based on Bernanke’s “shrink” comments this a.m!)

Kewp, that is so key! Everytime I hear “new paradigm” a red glag goes up, and I realize, I’m about to hear BS.

I was getting a lot of pressure to buy from my parents in 2002-3, so I started researching the market. At that point it was literally shooting up every month! Plus, the inventory was very low. I remember approaching one realtor about a place he had advertised, and when we met up, he said it was sold. “To whom,” I asked, wondering who had beat me to the punch. “Me.” he said. So when I realized I was competing for homes with the very people who were supposed to be helping me buy them, I was definitely in trouble. I came home, googled “San Diego Housing Bubble,” found Rich, and became one of his paying subscribers. That was fall of 2004, and now I count him as my financial adviser. Becoming a Pigg was one of my best moves ever.
