THINGS TO KNOW

1. A BOOK TO READ 

I JUST FINISHED A GOOD BOOK , THE FIGHTING LITTLE JUDGE .

THIS POWERFUL BOOK IS ABOUT  GEORGE WALLACE . 

YOU WILL BE STUNNED AT SOME OF THE THINGS PEOPLE DO FOR POWER. MANY OF WALLACE'S DEEDS TROUBLED HIM IN LATER YEARS .

AFTER BEING STRUCK DOWN BY AN ASSASSIN'S BULLET, WALLACE FOUND PEACE IN JESUS . 

WALLACE ASKED FOR FORGIVENESS AND SOUGHT TO MAKE AMENS TO THOSE HE WRONGED .

JUST AN EXAMPLE OF HOW THINGS CAN CHANGE ,IN HIS LAST RUN FOR GOVERNOR OF ALABAMA WALLACE GOT 90% OF THE BLACK VOTE.

THIS BOOK IS WORTH READING .

2. NCAA BRACKETTOLOGY 

THE BRACKETS ARE NOT TOO FAR OFF  THREE # 1"S REMAIN AS DO TWO #2 SEEDS 

THE EAST IS THE MOST OUT OF LINE  WITH A 3 & 4 &7 & 8 PLAYING . WHOEVER COMES FROM THE EAST WILL BE SOMEWHAT OF A CINDERELLA .

SPEAKING OF CINDY THE HIGHEST SEEDED TEAM LEFT IS UCLA .  THAT FEELS WEIRD TO SAY . 

IN MY YOUTH IT WAS A GIVEN THAT UCLA WOULD WIN THE TOURNAMENT . TRY TEN CHAMPIONSHIPS IN TWELVE YEARS .

CAN YOU NAME THE TWO TEAMS TO BREAK THROUGH ? 

TEXAS WESTERN & N.C. STATE . REMEMBER THEM 

3. BECOMING A BOGLEHEAD 

I HAVE BEEN STUDYING  THE WORK OF INVESTOR JOHN BOGLE . 

BOGLE SAYS COSTS ARE AS IMPORTANT AS RETURNS .

WHEN YOU CHECK YOUR INVESTMENTS , IT IS VERY HARD TO FIND THE TRUE COST DUE TO HIDDEN FEES AND SUCH . 

THE PROSPECTUS , THE ER , & THE TER ARE JUST STARTING POINTS 

MAKE SURE YOU ARE GETTING YOUR MAX RETURN AND HOW MUCH YOU ARE REALLY PAYING . 

A ONE % COST DIFFERENCE CAN RESULT OF AS MUCH AS 200,OOO OVER A LONG TERM INVESTMENT .
