Being 4 days away from the 2008 U.S. Elections, I thought it would be good to share with you my thoughts about it. I’ve been following very closely the news, polls and some of the speeches of Barak Obama and John McCain. From my perspective, I think that there is no doubt that Senator McCain…

Last week, I wrote about how Warren Buffett is investing in companies at bargain prices at times when others are selling and losing their shirts. Warren Buffett’s explanation to this is that these companies are sound and solid and that eventually “Most major companies will be setting new profit records 5, 10 and 20 years…

How to Beat the Financial Crisis

Such an economic crisis as the world saw in October 2008, inevitably brings financial crises to every walk of life. Not only is it a financial crisis, but it is also a currency crisis, (exchange rate crisis) a business crisis and, potentially, a family crisis. The Asian crisis being more painful than expected, has brought…

“A simple rule dictates my buying: Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful,” said Buffett. “And most certainly, fear is now widespread, gripping even seasoned investors.” This is the basic rule that Warrent Buffett explained on a video interview and that an article from CNN explains a little bit…

Last week, I brought back my personal blog from death, as I had stopped blogging for around 6 months. The good thing is that I had already saved a backup of the blog so it was easy to restore all the posts I had written. As I was restoring my old posts, I was very…

This month, it’s the birthday of both of my little daughters. Ana Paula is now 5 years old and Diana is 2. Actually, today, October 14th is the exact birthdate of Diana as Ana Paula was born on October 5th. My wife and I organized a birthday party for them on my parent’s country house…

I can't believe it: Water Powered Cars!

While I was browsing videos in Youtube.com, I stumbled upon these amazing videos that demonstrates that water can be used to power motor vehicles. Just imagine the tremendous change this would have in the world. We can find water almost everywhere, and it is a fuel that doesn’t contaminate the atmosphere (thinking about Beijing, Mexico…

The baby holocaust

Trough Traci Knoppe’s personal blog, I found a very shocking video about abortion. It is a video made in Spanish by the mexican actor Eduardo Verastegui, although it has English sub-titles. Being myself a Roman Catholic I strongly believe that abortion is a bad thing and that life should be respected at all times. It…

Warrent Buffett's interview on the Global Financial Crisis

Thanks to Ed Dale’s blog, I saw this very interesting video interview to Warrent Buffet by Charlie Rose. The interview was held last week before US Congress voted on the $700 Billion dollars bailout plan. If there is a guy that knows about money that’s him, so we should listen carefully and pay attention when…
