January wasn't exactly a great month for investing, but it could have been way worse (and actually, since all the pronouncements of doom and gloom that brought the 3/4 point rate cut, the markets are up considerably :) - Ryan http://uncommon-cents.net/ I definitely agree.

It might be the second worst January in history but it's the first time I've gotten 3.43% in under 2 weeks. Like they say, if you try to avoid a down market you're at risk of missing some of the best days.

I'm just curious if you received a lot of traffic from StumbleUpon, as I stumbled many of your articles there. And I noticed I was always the first to discover them here, even after they were up for hours, which leads me to believe your readers aren't Stumblers. Also, my profile on SU is getting stronger and I'm trying to gauge the effects of my stumbling. Interested to hear your findings. regards, Ciaran Hey JLP,
