My Journey presents Catching up With Fortune’s 10 Best Stocks for 2011 posted at My Journey to Millions, saying, “I never understand why money magazine, cnbc, fortune, etc., do not call out so-called experts when their stock picks are completely off. I think it would be both entertaining and educational. So when I came across an old Fortune Magazine today and saw the article, 10 Best Stocks for 2011, I wanted to see how the so-called best picks were doing 4 months into the new year.”
Kevin presents What Investors Really Want: Book Review and Giveaway! posted at Invest It Wisely, saying, “I enjoyed reading this book, and I appreciated the way that it helped me discover some of my own biases as well as motivations toward investing. Today I believe that a “lazy” system of investing will help most people achieve their financial goals, although it is not as “trendy” as other methods of investing may be.”

That is what I have attempted to do. First, by using the US Census Bureau’s measurement of the population in Leon County over the past 170 years, we can apply current trends to come up with a range of forecasts.”
