I believe NOW is the time to get into the stock market. There are many undervalued companies at the present time. I don’t recommend jumping in without research because some things are still going to come down.

With that said, there are definite buys at this time. Put some time into research and you can get some huge returns on your investment.

When the dollar comes out of this slide which it is showing signs of as well as some other snaps in the economy trend many of the well positioned companies will see some 52 week highs.

Start looking and start investing! Time to invest in America gain!

Is Alexa now more relevant than Google Pagerank?

Alexa made drastic changes and blogs were hit with higher rankings but is the new system fair? I am researching it and MoreMerchant got hit but at first glance I believe Alexa rankings may now be more valuable than the trash Google Pagerank. What do you think?

As my readers know I have been an avid support of Stumbleupon. I even donated money to them since I believed in what they were accomplishing through their great idea. I have promoted them to all of you many times. I loved Stumble.

Now they are trying to crack down on spam. Great, I hate spam as much if not more than anyone. I have fought spam on this site and on the web in many ways. Now for some reason Stumble thinks they should stop my account.

I assume they are saying that I have spammed. Now if sending a link to a friend is spam, than what good is Stumble? That would mean Stumble IS SPAM by design. They mentioned to me that anyone participating on Digitalpoint is a violation of their terms. I am not sure why this forum is a violation, but I have not participated on this forum … EVER. So they don’t even know why they are blocking me.

If giving a thumbs up to a friend’s great blog post is spam, than Stumble IS Spam by design. Also people often add their own site to Stumble. If you write a great post you should be able to tell someone. Isn’t that what all forms of writing does. If I write a good book, I will tell a friend.

I lovED Stumble. They have gone off the deep end by attacking one of their biggest supporters.

*** Update ***I just noticed that my post yesterday says that Stumbleupon is making changes and it isn’t as good as it once was. Interesting that this morning I get banned. Here is the post How to Grow Your Blog .

How do you grow your blog income and what seems to be working? Lately I have tried growing through Stumbleupon and other networks. This has done extremely well although Stumbleupon seems to be making changes and the Stumble effect is not as good as it once was.

So I am growing mostly through relationships once again. I am trying LinkedIn and doing ok, but more private networks that I establish. I began a few through Blogcatalog, a couple from MoreMerchant.com readers, as well as through some other. Read the rest »

Thank you for all who have emailed asking why have I slowed down my posting and if everything is alright. I love how the blogging community cares for one another.

Yes, I am alright, I am alive and so is the rest of my family. My wife is recovering from her broken foot, but other than that life is great.

I am a driven individual. I am driven to succeed and create an ever better life for my kids and those around me. Sometimes though I am reminded that this is not only financial in nature. My kids will not get any younger and then that time is gone, it is gone. Read the rest »

Today I read this in the finance new: Blockbuster Inc. (BBI) said Monday it will take an unsolicited $1 billion-plus bid for Circuit City Stores Inc. (CC) directly to shareholders of the nation’s second biggest consumer electronics chain, saying Circuit City has not responded to repeated offers.

The disclosure sent Circuit City (Where Service used to be State of the Art) shares up more than 55 percent in premarket trading. Read the rest »
