Staging a Super Bowl Party
...
The Super Bowl party is almost as much a part of Super Bowl history as the football itself. Arriving right at the end of the month of January, Super Bowl party planning gives you the perfect chance to escape from possibly the most boring time of year. When you are Super Bowl party planning you must always remember that not everyone will be attending because they love football, some will be coming just to meet friends and family for a bit of entertainment. Some Super Bowl party ideas to incorporate this fact are to set u...more
NFL Playoffs: Chicago Bears Lost the defensive Edge
...efense for this loss because without them, they would not have been in the playoffs.
If anything, blame should be placed on Lovie smith for not preparing his team for the speed and intensity of a real game. He also made very little defensive adjustments at half time to give his team a chance to win. There was also a very poor game plan heading into the game to defend Steve smith.<...more
Premiership Transfer Window Review - Part Three
...s of survival and quote 4/9 on relegation and 13/8 on staying up.
Sunderland
Sunderland are rooted firmly to the bottom of the table with just nine points from 23 matches and nine points adrift of nearest rivals Portsmouth.
The Black Cats are without a home win all season and have won just twice in their last 44 Premiership matches stretching back to a previous stint. Such dire form has made Mick McCarthys side a relegation certainty with odds of 1/1000 being offered.
However, if you believe in miracles, Sunderland are 100/1 to stage the comeback of all comebacks and remain in the Premiership for next season.
Tottenham Hotspur
Spurs have been the surprise package of the season thus far and maintain their fourth place position in the Premiership despite a run of three matches without victory and an FA Cup exit at the hands of Leicester City.
Manager Martin Jol signed Egyptian midfielder Hossam Ghali from Feyenoord and Charlton Athletics Danny Murphy. Even though Spurs are four points and two places above north London rivals Arsenal the bookmakers do not rate them as highly in ...more
Swim With the Current - like in football
..., right? If you invest by using only the fundamentals, you lose.
Again, most of the returns you're going to get will depend on whether the market (and the sector the stock belongs to) is on offense or defense.
Look, everyone knows that if you're swimming with the current, it's an easier ride. There are times when the market is on offense (and you're moving with the current). Hey, it IS possible to make money when the current is against you. But the odds are stacked against you! So, try to swim with the current...swimming against the current is NOT recommended!
Offense? Defense? Huh?
When were on offense, we run offensive plays from our playbook. Meaning, well look to put money into the market to build our wealth. Were not going to buy everything in sight; we want to focus ONLY on the sectors that are also on offense.
When were on defense, well run plays designed to protect our assets. Defense doesnt mean run out and sell everything! Whats the goal when the defense comes on the field in a football game?
To prevent the other team (the market) from scoring against you!
When the market is on defense, well only call plays from our defensive playbook. Running a defensive strategy helps prevent us from making really stupid mistakes in our account and taking big losses. Defense can mean taking steps like buying protective puts against your holdings. Or possibly shave back a large investment in a stock or mutual fund.
Avoiding big losses alone will improve the performance for most people in the market.
How do we know whether to be on offense or defense? We use a tool that is an excell...more
