creative jerks
If brilliance is so often bestowed on the undeserving, why do we still consider it a virtue?

I’ll say this about that: it does take a certain selfishness to be creative; a willingness to tell people ‘get the f out of my studio and leave me alone until I’ve got some things done!’ take that away, and there are many, many talented people walking around out there who were just a wee bit too nice to follow their muse, and instead went to work at dad’s dry cleaners or whatever. the classic example is gauguin (at first I typed matisse and nearly posted it: major mind-fart!) gauguin abandoned his stock-broker job and family to paint in tahiti. bad for them, good for the museums? if he’d done the nice, considerate thing, nobody would know his name. in his case, brilliance is bestowed on the undeserving because only the undeserving will seize it; but every case is unique. I’m sure there are artists whose work wouldn’t look any different if they were nasty or nice.

You don’t want a stockbroker because it will eat up your entire savings with the fees.Share builder is a good cheap broker. You can even get a bonus of $50 I believe for signing up. penny stocks

If I had $500, I would invest in Microsoft right now. You can buy 15 or 20 shares. Yes, I am invested in Microsoft right now, but your $500 is not going to affect the stock, so I’m not trying to “pump it.” If you look at the fundamentals: no debt, good cash flow (negative for only 1/4 quarters because MSFT has been buying back its own stock), etc. Low Price/Earning ratio (PE), unlike other good tech companies liek Apple and Google.
