    Question about dividend investing, when to sell and take losses?

    INVESTING 
    @MJ DeMarco one question i have from you book is how do you protect your money system from loss. You talk about selling your dividend,reit and other stocks in a runup. But what about if the stock price declines. For example SO is around 48 right now. Say you bought today and it slowly...

    Choosing a business name

    MARKETING 
    iPencil, iPhone, iPad etc. because these big monolithic companies are just the shell of what they sell now. You forget apple use to be Apple Computers, their name evolved to a more generic form later. and HP was a calculator company that grew into a computer company. Alienware...

    Choosing a business name

    MARKETING 
    Your name matters a lot. But be careful, most people get naming wrong. And i agree with others that you shouldn't let naming your product hold u back - find the best name you can and change it when u come up with something better. Then just redirect traffic from the old url to the new - if u...

    Sitting 5 hours = Smoking 24 cigarettes

    HEALTH 
    I smell a lot of snake oil with this guy. Unfortunately medicine has a lot of self proclaimed gurus. Like many gurus they are just people that get a mic to talk, and start spewing whatever they want. Is some of his advice sound? Yes Is some of his advice just personal opinion...

    How Many Businesses Must a Man Fail...

    HOT! 
    Hopefully you don't take this wrong, but you haven't succeeded because you haven't started anything. In a short 5 years you list 13 things you have failed at. If you were serious you would have had time to fail at 1, maybe two, or at most 3 during this time if you were putting in the time and...

    Do what seems right now!!

    MINDSET 
    It's 3:30 am. Like any good insomniac, instead of sleeping I'm laying here....thinking....and typing my thoughts on my iPhone. What needs to be done. What decisions need to be made. How to pull all this stuff off. Sometimes, when we see all that needs to get done, we get paralyzed ...

    What's Your REAL Money System Target?

    EXECUTION 
    Compounding would only really come into play if you drew money out once a year, otherwise your compounding period would only be 30 days not 12 months, and if you drew out monthly compounding would have negligable impact. Why does this matter, because often the annual percentage rate will...

    Preserving Wealth, My #1 Tip. Don't Get Married! (Or Maybe You Should?)

    NOTABLE! 
    Marriage is a business contract. As a business how does it stack up. I'd love to hear others assessment of how it fits the CENTS's. N - Need Subjective. Many people want to get married, but anyone will be hard pressed to prove a true need that can't be met without. The only real need I...

    Can people recommend me good books?

    "Getting Everything You Can Out Of All You've Got". I'm an avid reader and this is my personal favorite. another great read is ... "Ready, Fire, Aim" I disagree with UM. Reading is fundamental but don't mistake reading as action. It is the research to make your actions maximally...

    Folks, it's 2000 (or 2008) all over again.

    HOT! INVESTING 
    This is why I don't buy or sell paper value. I insist on some time compensation, if I'm buying stocks this is in the form of dividends. Otherwise when you buy its cross your fingers, hold on to your shorts, and pray the market goes up. I buy simply based on the fundamentals of the company...

    Yesterday I Bought a Fancy Drone and Today it Flew Away

    MINDSET RANT 
    Hitting birds is horrifying. But birds often try to evade you, they don't want to be hit either. But sometimes they get hit too - see pics. But a drone is even harder than a bird. it has metal. Some of these drones could probably take out a commercial jet engine. Sent from my...

    Yesterday I Bought a Fancy Drone and Today it Flew Away

    MINDSET RANT 
    When I read this, my concern isn't for your drone. What about the risk loose drones are to planes and the people on board. As a pilot, this is something I've thought about in the past. Hitting a hard object at 100-170 mph in a small private plane or 250-700 mph is a jet would be horrifying...

    Just got married... Now I feel restricted and powerless

    MINDSET RANT 
    Something I've only seen in passing in this thread!! What is your wife doing, where is she working, what is she doing to help your family get ahead (financially)? How you structure your expectations in your marriage will directly create the realty you end up in. If wife stays at home, no...

    SAAS / APPS 
    So a group of us doing SaaS projects have a slack mastermind group...and I've been floating the idea of doing a meet up somewhere, preferably somewhere pretty cheap to stay. Ideas that have been floated are Cabo, Cancun, Puerto Rico. The purpose of this would be for anyone interested in...

    I would say a good idea is 5% of the equation

    IDEA MINDSET RANT 
    The thing I find hard about this discussion. Is that ideas matter either way. But so does execution. Either you are an ideas guy and you create a great idea and build a company around it through execution. OR You are an execution guy and you start with a weak idea, execute, refine, and...

    I would say a good idea is 5% of the equation

    IDEA MINDSET RANT 
    I would agree that ideas matter tremendously. this discussion reminds me of the first video in the series how to start a startup. you can find it on you tube and it is excellent. To paraphrase what he says. Great Ideas become Great Products become Great Companies. Skip to about 15:15...

    Malcolm Gladwell Is A Dipshit

    BOOKS 
    This greatest harm I see is that Gladwell is giving an excuse to people...and people mop it up. It's the perfect excuse not do to X, Y, and Z...plus A, B, and C. Because people say and think "I don't have 10,000 hours to learn that" I've seen this even here on the FLF. In particular I...
