The Stock Market - Which Way is it Going to Go

Published on November 21, 2008 in Ideas. 1 Comment

 After yesterday, I took a look at the PEs of a few stocks I track (I only own MSFT directly).  Yahoo has a PE of 14.  Google a PE of 15.5 and Microsoft has a PE of under 10, but pays a dividend.

If PE is an indicator of how expensive a stock is, it seems like Yahoo is either still over valued or Google is undervalued.  Google has analyst projections to grow revenue nearly 19% next year.  Yahoo is projected to grow revenues 1.7%.  Which way are these two stocks going to go?

Packaged Birthday Party Themes

I’ve been making a hub on birthday gift ideas like I just did for my daughters that are turning three and six.  We decided to throw our six year old a birthday party at a local gymnastic place.  My wife opted for it because it’s easier than having a party at our house.  Before she made the decision we talked about a few birthday party ideas for our six year old girl.

First ideas was a jewelry maing party.  The idea was to get a bunch of supplies and let the girls make necklaces and bracelets and clip on earrings.

Idea number two was a cupcake party.  We would let the girls make cupcakes, bake them and the decorate their own with frosting and other candy decorations.

Third idea was to take a few girls horseback riding at a nearby place.

After bouncing around a few of these ideas, it got me thinking, is there a product that makes quality packages for themed birthdays that are affordable and fully packaged with everything you need for the birthday party?  There must be.
