Earlier this week, I put a lot of my money into two ETF's, EWZ (Brazil), and FXI (China). They have great technical setups if you are believe in that as well. Good time to buy.

I live in Austin, TX and find its size to be manageable, although it is growing fast. Is that too large for you? It has the University of Texas, its in the 'Hill Country', and has a lot of smart and creative folks. I don't have a car and ri

Very nice post. After attending startup school I found myself wanting to move for the first time since living in Austin. Then I thought about how much cheaper I could live in Austin while working on the startup. Of your reasons _to_ move to
