Happy New Year 2011

Happy New Year!!!

As some of you may  know, I was not particularly fond of 2010.

It wasn’t a horrible year (after all, I did pay off my home mortgage), but I wasn’t particularly fond of it either!  That’s why I decided that I’m going to change everything this year, and who better to demonstrate change?  Why carrot top or course, he has changed more than I could dream of!

The Orange Hulk – Carrot Top!

I would have never guessed that “Carrot Top” would be more buff that I am, but surprise!  And it looks like he is enjoying it to boot!  Some may say that he looks scary, but I think he looks content and that he’s doing something that he enjoys!

Are you going to do something entirely different for 2011?  If so, I’d love to hear about it and what motivated you to do so !

Have a Great New Year in 2011!

Year 2009 was tough, but it was also the bottoming (or turn around) year for many important economical areas.

Last year, we saw a lot of bottoming happening:

  • the Stock Market bottomed in March 2009
  • the Housing Market started bottoming in the Summer of 2009
  • In fall 2009, housing prices started to recover.
  • The labor market’s decline practically bottomed too.

So while 2009 wasn’t a great year, it was an important year just because  most things either bottomed or show signs of bottoming soon.  As for the government, and what they are going…  I’m not so happy with 2009… 

I think the “cap and trade” legislation that passed by 1 vote, is a big mistake.  Hopefully, the politicians will be thinking more clearly this year.   We’ll see…

Anyway, I just want to personally welcome Year 2010!

2009 was important, but I’m glad to say goodbye to that year.

I wish everybody luck and prosperity this year!
