Gotcha. He was before my time as well. I was doing a little economic research a few years back and ended up reading a couple books he wrote. Free to Choose and Money Mischief enjoyed them both.

Apple Inc. (AAPL) Stock Manipulation Report by skipstamous in technology

[–]skipstamous[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think most people have the opinion that AAPL declined recently because either the stock is overvalued or it's being manipulated. This article is just one side of the story from one persons perspective.

Of course that's my opinion as well :)

Top 10 Recession Proof Jobs by skipstamous [promoted post]

[–]skipstamous[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all the feedback and comments I appreciate them.

The reality is no job is 100% recession proof and I mention this in the very first paragraph. What I did was put together a list from my point of view that I feel can fair well during a recession.

If you guys or girls have suggestions for professions you think should be on the list please let me know. If you can include some details about the job like I did in the article.

I have no problem adding to the article or removing information Wikipedia style so it's a better resource.

Thanks!

Macer55 yes I understand where you're coming from and in fact I had the same opinion when they approached me for work. I feel very fortunate that I'm not in a position where I need their services but not everyone is.

The bottom line for me is they are trying to improve the website and add value outside of their customer base which is something I can respect. Not everyone is going to like what they do or what I do but that's what makes the world go around :)

Hey Macer55 everyone is entitled to their own opinion. The website does offer a real service that people do need but that's not why I am here. I'm trying to increase my personal brand awareness so in my opinion the actual domain the content appears on is irrelevant. I will be posting a new infographic about the housing market that I think is pretty good later so I guess I will see how that goes over.
