Bob Brinker: "Because investing is a personal decision, you must have investments that allow you to sleep at night. Everyone needs to know their risk tolerance. Risk is an important factor to be calculated because only with risk will one be able to generate a large return."

Brinker is one of my favorite investment experts to listen to. He nailed it when in January, 2000, he said to move from stocks to cash. I've been listening to him for 11 years on KGO Radio and he's been right much more than he's been wrong. He's a pretty conservative adviser, but that's what you want when it comes to your investments. Most people would do well to listen to his advice.

Pictures from the Palo Alto Apple Store [MacCentral] I wish I went there, but I couldn't get away due to family and work issues. Other reports say there were 200 people in line. So Silicon Valley!

I remember the day that I met John Fry in the Sunnyvale Fry's Electronics store on the day that opened. I waited in line 10 minutes to get to a checkout counter and there were 80 of them, all open! Now that's a business.

Major coolness. My Radio Weblog is up and running. It'll be different from the Scobleizer in that this site will have a lot more postings from other sites.
