Jim Rogers

Jim Rogers has been a money manager for many years. He is known for founding the Quantum Fund with George Soros and writing The Adventure Capitalist.

He has been making the interview rounds as of late, and making some good sense. Here is an interview he conducted with Mike Schneider recently. He talks about the current economic crisis and the bailout, and doesn't have any trouble holding back his opinions.

S&P 500 List

This list of S&P 500 companies is really nice. It includes the current stock price. If it had the p/e ratio too I would love it.

Drudge Report is Beautiful

I thought this 37 signals blog post about Drudge Report was interesting.

“To clarify, my definition of design goes beyond aesthetic qualities and into areas of maintenance, cost, profitability, speed, and purpose. However, I still think that the Drudge Report is an aesthetic masterpiece even though I also consider it ugly. Can good design also be ugly? I think Drudge proves it can.”

Buy Tech Companies

I think it's a good time to buy solid technology companies. Their p/e ratios are very reasonable. Microsoft is close to $19 a share. Intel is near $13 a share.

One good way to do this is through ETFs. I like QQQQ, which tracks the performance of the nasdaq 100, and USD, which doubles the movement of the Dow Jones U.S. Semiconductor Index (if you are feeling a little more adventurous).
