Heres the latest update of my portfolio. Made a nice gain on McDonalds so thought it was time to reap the profits. I am also happy to see that the price of Coinstar CSTR has dropped since I sold it. McDonalds is near an all time high so I would expect a similar drop. In both cases, I believe I got out at the right time because I wasn't too greedy, and it's paid off, my portfolio is outperforming the S&P 500!

Top 10 Things to Consider When Attempting to Make a Move in Your Career

My voracious reading has continued unabated in recent weeks and will easily complete my 2010 goal. I have finished "Paper Tiger" by Tom Coyne, "Losing My Virginity" by Richard Branson (review coming soon) and I am currently reading Chris Evans autobiography "It's not what you think".

I stumbled across the following youtube video and it reminded me of a book I read last year called Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds, it was a modern version by Tim Phillips but is based on the 1841 market psychology, describing famous financial 'bubbles', including the infamous Dutch tulip mania and the South Sea Company bubble, this title presents an interpretation of Charles Mackay's work that illustrates the nature of these insights through modern business and political case studies.

It's Halftime in 2010

Well, it's just a word I made up to describe a small notebook to keep track of my goals. I've tried to keep track of my goals before, many times, in fact it is something that I consider very important and I am always trying to discover the best way to track goals and develop better time management. Over the years I've tried writing in an a4 pad, a small notebook, on my phone, in macjournal, in iCal, using producteev.com and rememberthemilk.com. Has anyone else had a similar experience? None of the above mentioned worked because I would always either forget to write something down or fail to review it in time to complete a goal. So why does my new goalbook work? The simple answer is because it's incredible small and handy, you might say so yours phone, which is true, but I use my phone for so many other things that I often simply forgot to check my to do lists. But with my goalbook, it is always just in my pocket so I can add a goal quickly and I'm also very aware of my goals due to its physical presence and the fact the only reason it's in my pocket is to track goals, unlike phone.
