It's the Offseason. Buy Real Estate.

Well hey, I know it's Summer now but I think you all should actually start thinking about Winter Park Real Estate. No, that's not real estate in a park that you can only buy during the winter. Nope. Winter Park is a place yo! It's not just a place though, it's a place in Orlando! If you are anything like me and other weird people, you are wondering right now, "What is the history of Orlando besides theme parks?" Well...if you go by number of years, not much. It's not much older than 150 years. But...if you go by substance instead of...years or something, a lot has happened. They raised cattles! It was the primary way to make a living and the town in Central Florida were more like Laredo and Dodge City than a cartoon. They also had Indian wards, cattle rustling, fights with guns, gambling with money and other evening debauchery. Well, in 1880, The South Florida Railroad extended its line down into Orlando from Sanford and the rest of the country. This made things go crazy yo! All of the sudden, the Citrus industry changed. It was country-wide yo! Sick! This changed the city and it's economy drastically. Tourism finally becam a major industry in Central Florida. The railroad became like blood flowing through the veins and made the city alive! What an ingenious metaphor homies! There is now more tourists per year than the population of California. Haha. California sucks. There are 100,000 hotel rooms and 7 major theme parks. Orlando is also a great place to raise a family though. Real estate includes upscale gated neighborhoods, golf courses, old people and old-fashioned towns with excellent schools. Downtown Orlando is also very urban. You can enjoy vintage homes in the historic neighborhoods of Thorton Park, Lake Eola Heights, Lake Lawsona, Lake Cherokee, and Lake Copeland. Downtown is trendy with diversity of restaurants, retailers, discos, and bars all within walking distance. You even have access to the most beautiful Lake Eola man! This place is great! To get real estate here with a great real estate office that will cover it all, check out Buyers Broker of Florida. They are sick yo!

Real Estate or a Rental. Who can tell?

Did you know that Orlando welcomes more visitors each year than the population of California?! That's over 43.3 million. Booiiinnggg! This makes Orlando one of the biggest vacation destinations!

Now let's talk numbers. Most of those tourists and vacationers stay in one of 100,000 hotel rooms and on top of that, they visit 7 major theme parks. OK....so, also, there are 185,000 people in Orlando and the Metro-Orlando population is 1,500,000.

It's no wonder that tourism surrounding Orlando is worth billions of dollars to Orlando's economy. Why wouldn't it be! Hey-yo! Tourism is a very rewarding field to be a part of and you guessed it, Orlando has many opportunities within that industry.

This place they call Orlando is a great environment to enjoy your leasure time and raise a family. All 7 counties in the Central Florida area offer a wide range of life styles...for any age. This includes (but is not limited too) real estate in upscale gated neighborhoods, golf course communities, charming, old-fashioned towns, and areas with excellent schools.

Downtown has seen a great increase in growth and is a mixture of condominiums with great views and other things you can enjoy like: vintage homes in the historic neighborhoods of Thorton Park, Lake Eola Heights, Lake Lawsona, Lake Cherokee, and Lake Copeland. Awesome! Awesome! One more time....Awesome! Downtown is trendy with diversity of restaurants, retailers, discos, and bars all within walking distance.

Also, check out Baldwin Park, which is a traditional neighborhood with architecture reminiscent of the pre-1940's era in Central Florida. You gotta love architecture history yall.

Not only all of this but, the wonderful climate and year round sunshine that your family deserves will make for a great vacation, holiday or siesta! You can even take a 45 minute drive from the theme parks to a countryside that is very similar to the UK but with rolling hills and oak trees.

Isn't that awesome!??! So...buy flowers today. Do it!

And Silver...

Did I mention that you should also buy Silver? No, seriously, it's awesome. It's just as awesome as the Chicago Bulls.

Gas used to be only 25-cents a gallon. No, it really used to be. You could take only a dollar to the gas station and buy four...count em...four gallons for a buck! Are you serial!? Back then, the dollar was actually backed by REAL money which was real silver. Are you following me? Yeah? Well, the same amount of silver still buys four gallons of gas! Did you know that!? Isn't that amazing!?

That just shows that real money like gold and silver holds its value and it is the green paper money that is now worth a lot less. Actually, when you think about it, materials such as gas, food and whatever hasn't gotten more expensive. It just seems that way because the value of green paper money is worth less. Duh. It takes more to by the same goods and services.

A log of people think prices have gone up, but in reality, the US dollar is kind of screwing us and has gone down too. Portfolio diversification and that 10% to 20# of an investor's assets should be devoted to tangible assets such as gold, silver and platinum bullion and bullion coins. That is what investment experts are saying ya'll.

If you ask me, Monex has the experience, expertise and also... the resources to serve most any precious metals investor's needs. They have been doing this since 1967. 1967. Most of you weren't even born yet and people thought the term "blog" was some kind of hallucination monster. They have well over one hundred thousand investors who have purchased billions of dollars of gold, silver, platinum and palladium bullion and buillion coins. They are one of the country's oldest, largest and most experienced. If I were you...and I'm not...but if I was - I would contact them ASAP! Silver - it's awesome!


The Chicago Bulls Report...now brought to you totally sold out.

Bulls Finish Season, Lose to Heat, When is the Draft?

Well, it's disappointing that the Bulls lost to the Miami Heat. A "team" who really isn't a "team," but a group of semi-superstars who want a championship but hate each other. Dwayne Wade and Shaq are cool, but besides that, there team pisses me off. No seriously, I don't just dislike their team, their team actually pisses me off.

Anyway, it was disappointing, but what's great, is the potential to add some really significant pieces to this team in the upcoming draft, thanks to Isiah Thomas being the worst GM ever and giving us the New York Knicks first round draft pick, as well as the option to switch first round draft picks as 2007. This Bulls teams is only going to get better folks. We may not be the same as the Michael Jordan era, but we will be contenders...and soon.

Isiah Thomas PSA #2: If you are anything like me, Isiah Thomas, you know that a car insurance rate is a very important thing, especially if you drive a car. I was reading a report the other day that said GEICO advises auto owners in California to take a close look a the National Insurance Crime Bureau's or NCIB's latest report. California is actually the home of 6 of the top 10 places to get your automobile stolen. Are you kidding me? That sounds like an important thing to remember to me. I started to think to myself, "damn, what can I do?" But then, the report told me. It gave me 11 awesome tips to help reduce my car being stolen! 11 steps! Can you believe it. Here they are:
1) Keep your vehicle locked at all times, even while driving. Close all windows and sunroofs, no matter how hot it is.
2) Never leave your keys in the car.
3) If possible, park in busy, well-lit areas. Thieves prefer to work in the dark. Leave your car in park or in gear with the wheels turned toward the curb or some other obstruction, so thieves won't be able to tow it easily. 4) Avoid leaving valuables inside your vehicle where passersby can see them.
5) Install an anti-theft system in your vehicle if it doesn't have one. A mechanism that locks onto the steering wheel can be a very visible sign that you've taken steps to protect your vehicle. Ignition cut-off systems prevent a car from being started. Some new cars come with passive alarms that activate automatically when the key is removed from the ignition. One system emits a signal that can be tracked by the police. Thieves are reluctant to steal vehicles that can be tracked and recovered quickly. Many insurers offer discounts for these types of systems.
6) Beware of the "bump-and-rob" technique. Carjackers bump your car from the rear, then steal it when you get out to look for damage. When stopped at a traffic light, leave room to maneuver around the vehicle ahead if you need to. If another car bumps yours and you feel threatened, drive to a populated area. If you have a cell phone, call the police for assistance.
7) Do not leave registration or title in the car. Too often a car thief is pulled over and gets away from the police because he or she can produce the auto registration. If multiple drivers use the vehicle, the best suggestion would be to hide the registration in a secret location that only the owners know.
8) Look around. Be aware of your surroundings, especially in garages, parking lots and gas stations.
9) Know where you're going. Avoid known high-crime areas even if the alternate route takes a little longer.
10) If confronted by a carjacker, do not resist. Cars can be replaced; you can't.
11) Have your car's vehicle identification number (VIN) etched on each of the windows. Car thieves want to get off cheap. They don't want to go to the expense of replacing all the glass.

Aren't those some awesome tips? They really help too. I also found out the GEICO provides auto insurance quotes for all 50 states. It really doesn't get any better than that folks. You should check out their online insurance rates and quotes too. It will save you time and money! Awesome!

Isiah Thomas PSA #3:

In other news, has Isiah Thomas has just completed filming a commercial for Ortho Evra.The news isn't all good though folks. Apparently, Parker & Waichman, LLP filed a lawsuit against Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical, Inc. on behalf of 33 year-old woman diagnosed with Bilateral Pulmonary Embolism and Deep Venous Thrombosis after she used the Ortho Evra Birth control patch for two months. Yeah, serially, they filed the suit in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey in Newark, New Jersey.So why would Isiah do a commercial about this stuff? To get the word out. And to get paid. For more information on Ortho Evra you should visit http://www.orthopatchlawsuit.com or http://www.yourlawyer.com/topics/overview/Ortho_Evra_Patch. That is, if you actually want more information on it. .There is more to the story of this woman though. Additional tests on her revealed a deep venous thrombosis of the right popliteal vein extending to the right common femoral vein. Yeah I know, I have no idea what that means either but the woman was admitted to the hospital’s intensive care unit where she received Coumadin and Lovenox treatment and she will likely undergo prolonged treatment with these medications. You need to listen because these medications may be necessary for the remainder of her life.Ortho-McNeil also that admitted for the first time that women who use the patch will be exposed to up to 60% more estrogen than they would be exposed to if they were taking a birth control pill with 35 micrograms of estrogen. This patch was only intended to deliver 20 micrograms of estrogen. What gives? That's what Isiah wants to find out. On top of all of this bad news, recent reports have also indicated that the risk of developing blood clots, pulmonary thromboembolism, heart attack and stroke may be significantly higher with the Ortho Evra patch than with oral contraceptive use. Are you kidding me!?People have alleged that Ortho-McNeil knew about the increased medical risks associated with Ortho Evra before the drug was approved and once it was approved, never warned anybody about the risks. Not cool bros.Here is where things get serious though, after much research, during a 12 month period, 44 serious injuries or deaths have been associated with Ortho Evra. Booiiinnnngggggg! What? Ok, well this Ortho Evra drug was approved by the FDA in November 2001, and over 4 million women have used Ortho Evra since its approval. They continue to market it aggresively. It has to be stopped. Do something about it now. That is all.

Isiah Thomas & His Gold Bullion:

Once upon a time, in a land far way, Isiah Thomas wanted 2 things, for the New York Knicks to become the Rucker Park Knicks, and to Buy Gold Bullion. What is that? Well, sit back kids and listen to the wonder of this tale. It's not a fairy tale though. What do you think Isiah is? A sissy?

So ok, first of all, for those of you that don't know, back in the day, our dollar was actually backed by real silver. It actually stood for something. Like, you could get four gallson of gas for a buck because it was only 25 cents a gallon. It was back then. That long ago. This is why prices have gone up. Things haven't become more expensive, paper green money has become worth less. No, not worthless, just worth less. Investment experts have long-recommend portfolio diversification and that 10% to 20% (and sometimes more) of an investor's assets be devoted to tangible assets such as gold, silver and platinum bullion and bullion coins.There are also many reasons in today's crazy political and economic environment to consider precious metals investing now. I would recommend dealing with Monex who has the experience, expertise and resources to serve almost all of your precious metals investor needs. This has been since 1967 people! They do it with gold, silver, platinum and palladium bullion and bullion coins! Uhhhhhh!!!! Yo, do business with them already!
