Is Branding Important?

Think about all the products and services you know through pictures, how do you recognize the company that produces them? Perhaps by their branding? Or through a memorable saying, mascot, logo, or a picture? You should be able to instantly produce an image in your mind associated with the company name.
Is it creative marketing? Maybe, […]

Pay for Lectures

Here’s a new twist, can’t make it to class at your college, no problem, buy a taped lecture. In Raleigh, North Carolina, a professor has a solution to over crowded classes. Simply pay $2.50 for each lecture and you have a copy of what the professor taught that day.
I have several questions, if it’s that […]

Too Good Looking, Leave

Another ridiculous situation stemmed from an employer asking an employee to leave their job because he’s “just too good looking”. In New Malden England, it appears that the British headmaster has a stiff upper lip when it comes to the physical attributes of the common man.
The teenager, who was hired as a labourer, was asked to […]

Clock Ticking for Ford

I purposely have not weighed in on the labour force cut backs of 30,000+ employees, of which most will be white collar, announced last week by Ford. Experts say that this might not be enough to save the big car manufacturer. Market share is significantly down and concern is growing rapidly around the strategic plan […]

Beyond Cash Intellect

This news article goes well beyond Cash Intellect or any other intellect. It seems that the Chief of Police has a small problem on his hands. He was reviewing records of a most recent bank robbery and recognized his son as the bank robber.
After placing numerous telephone calls to his son with no response, he […]

Raffle a Gun

I have very mixed feelings regarding this human interest story. The cause is to raise money for two policemen afflicted with cancer. However, is raffling a gun the best method in raising money? So far, it seems to be a successful campaign as they have run out of tickets to sell . Both families are […]

Now That’s Profit

It pays to shop on eBay. A purchaser bought a rare Wigornia Porcelain Cream Boat for 200 Pounds and quickly sold it for 46,800 Pounds, wow, that’s a profit. Unbeknown to the seller, the porcelain cream boat was created in 1752 and had obvious history and value that he/she was not aware of. You […]

Clean Your Car on the Cheap

It’s that time of the year when you clean your car before the dredge of Winter hits. Some people take their car into cleaning specialists and pay big bucks for someone else to do it. Sound Money Tips has some ideas on how to do the cleaning on the cheap, yourself.
There’s a lot to be […]

My Sentiments Exactly

Stop the whining, complaining, and gripping about gas prices. Decreased oil costs, the law of supply and demand, have driven the current cost down and still I hear the public crying the blues. Maybe if you didn’t buy that foolish SUV, you wouldn’t have to spend such a ridiculous amount of cash to fill your […]

I’ll Do It For $10

Here’s a nutbar story from yesterday’s headlines. A 16 year old student convinced another student to assault a teacher for $10, and the deal was accepted, and allegedly acted upon. Wonder what was going through both of their heads? What good could possibly come from their stupid assault? I guess the braincells are not fully […]
