Walmart.com does good!
I’m sure all of you remember the whole Super Smash Bro pre-order fiasco with Walmart. I just got an email from Walmart.com giving me a $10 gift card to make up for the whole thing. I had ordered GTA IV, not Super Smash Bro, so I might have gotten the gift card as a result …
The Risk-Free Rate
The risk free rate is one of the most basic concepts that you need to know. This rate is the theoretical return of an investment with no risk. In theory, it is easy to define, but in practice it becomes slightly harder. Since all companies have default risk associated with them, we can’t use any …

Charlie Wilson, through his connections with other representatives manages …
Resolutions for 2008
Typically around this time each year I post a list of resolutions of the current year. But by the middle of year, I’ve usually forgotten them, or have broken them a long time ago. The resolutions have never really worked for me before. So this year I’ve decided to do something slightly different. Instead of …
Review: Superbad
McLovin! The greatest character in the movie is Fogell who gets a fake id in the name of McLovin. Superbad is a story about high schooler seniors partying it up before the start of the summer. This movie follows in the footsteps of Knocked Up and 40 Year Virgin. The movie centers around a group …
