poorBenjamin: August 2005
http://poorbenjamin.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_archive.html
Makes you think . Wednesday, August 31, 2005. Now short of running out to buy the last remaining Honda Civic Hybrids on the lot you might be wondering what you can do to save gas in a shortage. Here are a few ideas. At Edmunds that can help. A few other ideas:. Don't start the engine until you are ready to move. Letting the engine run while you are fiddling with things just wastes fuel. Cut off your engine when waiting at Rail Road crossings or other places where you will be idle for more than a minute.

Makes you think . Wednesday, March 29, 2006. Story about Students Visit with Buffet. Another site has a long posting. On Columbia MBA students' Q&A session with Buffet. I haven't read all of it yet, but it did get linked to from Motley Fool and thought it was worth a link based on my recent postings. Posted by PB at 3/29/2006 05:33:00 PM. Thursday, March 23, 2006. Buying Apple and AMD. In my last post. Just a few months later.). In the case of Apple I invested based on 3 factors:. With OS X released and ...

Makes you think . Sunday, May 06, 2007. Oil, Inflation, Interest Rates. This is simple supply and demand, raising interest rates doesn't solve the problem. Two things will effect the situation. First increasing supply would reduce prices. However increasing the oil supply can't be done over night. Reducing demand is the other approach. The increased cost reduces demand to some degree.

poorBenjamin: July 2006
http://poorbenjamin.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
Makes you think . Sunday, July 23, 2006. I recently finished the book, Trump Strategies for Real Estate: Billionaire Lessons for the Small Investor. So this leaves the potential investor wondering if it is a good time to sell, or if we are sliding into a good time to buy. The prime question is do you think interest rates have peaked for this economic cycle. Secondary question, is whether inflation is under control or just about to pick up?

poorBenjamin: October 2005

Makes you think . Sunday, October 30, 2005. I was reading an old copy of Wired magazine and found this article on transparent circuitry. The light at the entrance/exit of my neighborhood is just such a light. As we all know time is money, and the free flow of traffic is very important to the U.S. economy. Seems like traffic flow is something driving American's should make their local politicians think about. Posted by PB at 10/30/2005 12:42:00 PM. Tuesday, October 18, 2005. Today I am going to explain wh...

poorBenjamin: December 2005
http://poorbenjamin.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
Makes you think . Monday, December 26, 2005. Product Idea: Coffee to go bulk. I have between 6 and 12 travel coffee mugs. About half of them are from trade shows, and the others are gifts from people who know I love to drink coffee. The problem is that I have lost the lids to all but one of those mugs. The other day I was walking through the neighborhood Target. And saw a travel pack with 6 disposable coffee cups, like the ones you would get at Starbucks. Posted by PB at 12/26/2005 09:40:00 PM.

poorBenjamin: February 2006

Makes you think . Friday, February 24, 2006. My friend promptly read yesterday's entry and sent me an e-mail advising me to not assume I know what Buffett thinks just from reading Hagstrom's books. This is a valid argument and I realize that more reading will be needed. At this point I'm still willing to go on the record as saying I will be very surprised if at any point Buffett suggests you should "put all of your eggs in one basket.".

poorBenjamin: November 2005

Makes you think . Thursday, November 10, 2005. Did Bill read my mail? Now I don't know if my mail ever made it to Ford's inner circle, but today Ford started delivery of Escape Hybrids to the New York City taxi fleet. Over the next 5 years NYC plans to replace the 13,000 cars in its taxi fleet with hybrids. It would be interesting to put the hybrid drive train in the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for use in the black car industry, which Ford pretty much owns already.
