The 4th of July and the Meaning of Independence
July 6th, 2009
Did you have a great 4th of July weekend? Fireworks? BBQ? Nice cold beer? Living in LA, I saw a marked change in activity. Everyone seemed to take off on Friday morning, and even today (Monday) a lot of people are gone. Despite the constant bad economic news, there seems to be no shortage of money to get away for vacation.
And, I saw a similar phenomenon online. Many blogs stopped posting. One site that we use to track blogs, Tip’d, had virtually no usage whatsoever! This is a site that attracts 440,000 visitors a month. And on the Independence Day weekend almost nobody visited. Wow.
Where did they go?
is one of my favorite financial books of all time. It's an allegory about a guy who has a terrible job, and how he overcomes challenges to achieve his dreams.
