1) Today is a great day to buy BP. I call bottom on this stock.
2) The DOW will drop to 8500 in the next month. I won’t be suprised if it goes even lower.

Something we can all agree with, I think.

The New Food Pessimism

Well, it’s done. I just submitted my final exam for “Repair of Concrete Structures” and recently sat for my Structural Engineering 1 exam. Part 2 comes in October assuming I pass part 1 and the bureaucrat labyrinth named The State of Kansas approves of me in time.

It is time for a much needed break. And maybe I can get back to all the other things I used to love in life. Like cooking, tinkering, reading, and writing. As for the later, let me wet your appetite by saying that I’ve been thinking a lot about debt and risk on the bus in the mornings. There’s this book called “Black Swan” I hope to pick up soon. It is very much in the “Small is Beautiful” thread but with a twist. It’s written by a Statistician. Also, I need to say a few words about parenting, though I think I can learn a lot from those here.

Peace be with you.
