Your last column was one of the best with tips on investing. Any hot tips? Curious Dear Curious, The best advice I can give you is to never invest on hot tips. For one, insider information is illegal to invest from. That’s why Martha Stuart finds herself in hot water these days. Most hot tips are never really hot anyway. Do you think for one minute that the top professionals haven’t refined their information stream? The pros on Wall Street do most of their trading the last hour of the day. The opening is for the amateurs who put in their orders before leaving for work. Talk about begging to lose money! Get a subscription to Investors Business Daily and study the paper. It’s loaded with good basics for beginners. Al Dear Al, I wrote a couple of weeks ago about my friend who married a jerk I don’t like. You asked if he rejected me once. NO! He did however hit on me and asked about a threesome. My friend already caught him cheating with an 18 year old. She moved in with me for a while, but now they’re back together. How can I convince her to dump the jerk? Best Friend Dear Best Friend, Your friend seems to be married to a child, not a man. You cannot and should not campaign for a divorce. Marriage is a sacred vow and despite the fact that some people don’t get it they must be allowed to work through things themselves. The only exception to that would be if he was being physically abusive. Many young people confuse possession with love. When that is the case, marriage actually represents the end of the chase and the signal to begin a new pursuit. When your friend begins to realize that she is a trophy more that a partner the end may come. In the meantime, counseling is in order before the marriage ends. I hope your friend waits to have children. Too many women mistakenly think that children will settle the guy down. It never works out that way. You’re a good friend but I fear you’ll pay a price when it all comes down. Al PS; Maddie has a cool perspective on things! Coffee With Maddie Need to buy or sell a house ... check this out! _.·´¯)What's up with this?(¯`·._ I consider myself a conservative in some ways and a moderate in others. I even have a liberal streak in some areas. I have always believed that common sense should supercede politics. With that in mind I just can't understand how shallow and obviously desperate the Democratic Party has become. While I agree that Trent Lott had a stupidity attack and should probably relinquish his leadership position I feel the carrying on has really been over the top. Jesse Jackson was the last straw for me. Gore was on Saturday Night Live last night. How can any voter actually consider this baffoon a credible presidential candidate. If there was ever an opening for a third party in our country it's now. The Democratic Party of my Grandfather and Franklin Roosevelt is no longer in existance. On another subject, how about a national lottery for Social Security. Issue monthly tickets for a dollar a day and award 1 million a day for the participants. Require by law that all the collections go into the Social Security Trust Fund. That's 365 million for awards and how many billions for the pension system. Just don't let the congressional weasels touch it. Just my opinion. Don't like it? So tell me off at ... The Forum at Boomer Journals _.·´¯) Boomer Ha Ha! (¯`·._ The trouble with being a good sport is you have to lose to prove it. _.·´¯)Attitude Counts! (¯`·._ People don't care what you know until they how much you care. I know such a comment can sound like a cliche but there is a lot of truth to it. When people are unsure of their relationships even the simplest of questions can bring on a level of stress. One such question is the popular "what's up". What the hell is that suppose to mean anyway? When I was younger the more common greeting was "How are you?". That was easy to understand and reply to and led to a comfortable beginning to a conversation. It's especially irritating on the phone. You say hello and someone says "What's up" leaving you wondering what to say next. Basically the core reason is people no longer read. As a result they all speak TV. People think TV. It's call the "Blue Haze Disease". People have become walking sitcomes. Except for the woman (not my first choice of word) from Palm Beach who yelled at me this week. The only satisfaction I garnered is that when she gets up tomorrow I'm on to someone else but she's still her. hahahahahahahah! Check out my new Home Business E-book ...
