On fat burner

Reading THE FOUR PILLARS OF INVESTMENT by William Bernstein has helped me clarify my understanding the relationship of risk to reward with investments. And one chapter helps validate my own conclusion that it's worthwhile only to invest for streams of income, though he goes on to ignore that conclusion for the rest of the book and preaches index funds and asset allocation. However, to my mind, getting rid of asset allocation as normally practiced is a good fat burner for your portfolio, because selling off expensive assets generates broker commissions and capital gains taxes in taxable accounts. It's better to keep those securities earning more and more dividends and interest. Don't worry about their market values, that's my advice, so long as you receive your checks on time.

On diet pill with ephedra

What I'd really like to do is have such a secure and large form of residual income that I could get back to writing fiction. Right now, it'd be impossible without abandoning my family and I can't do that. Not even a diet pill with ephedra could make me do that. It's kind of funny. I now have the time and additional income to just live in a small apartment and do nothing but write novels, but I can't do it. I'm still driven for more money. I have dependents I can't ignore. What good would writing do for me if I didn't have them? It would be a sad and lonely life no matter how I tried to reassure myself I was happy or how much fame and fortune I ever earned from the writing.

On diet supplement

Many people should be taking a diet supplement. One of the most important ones, to my mind, is some kind of Omega 3 supplement. Personally I take fish oil at pharmaceutical grade. I'm not sure if any of the vegetarian sources work as well. I know Dr. Al Sears recently discovered something grown in Brazil that also has a lot of Omega 3, and I hope to learn more about it in upcoming weeks and months. I know that another company has an Omega 3 made from krill, and that is probably also a good source. The only way you don't need this is if you eat a lot of tuna or wild-harvested salmon as well as grass-fed beef. And maybe eggs from chickens who are allowed to eat naturally as they roam. I'm not sure how that affects their egg yolks.

On vitamins for men

Along with my regular multivitamin tablets, I also take vitamins for men, so there's some support for my prostate and other sexual organs. More zinc than I guess women need, though they need some. And I guess they can benefit from the antioxidant properties of lycopene even though they don't need its anti prostate cancer and enlargement properties. But these are specific to men, along with beta-sisterol. So far as I know, there's no reason to women to take that, though I could be wrong. It is present in cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage and cauliflower. Whether God put it there just for men or for women too, I can't say.

On daily multivitamin

I believe everyone should take a daily multivitamin. I don't always, but I believe it's a good idea. I'm just not able to implement all my good ideas for myself or my family right now. I do have some leftover from a few months ago, a good brand from New Zealand. The owner is very careful to formulate high digestible pills or capsules. He studies how the various nutrients and minerals are digested in our bodies and then designs the best delivery system. Cheap ones just don't care if you digest them or not. Many people defecate their vitamin pills out, but don't realize it because, of course, they don't search their bm to look for stuff they don't want to find. But cheap ones are a waste of money. You get no benefit.

On estatecarinsurance.com

Until recently, I didn't listen to any music through the Internet. Now I'm surprised that I ignored this for so long. I'm now listening to a classic rock station, which is a term I hate though I enjoy the music, that plays almost continuously without commercials. And I get more variety than when I'd go to my local library branch and check out five or six CDs and play those on a player for a week, then go back to get new ones. I'm hearing artist and artist in a mix. Plus I've found a site that has tons of Indian music, which I enjoy, including lots of Bollywood music, which I've developed a taste for. I'm still trying to find a similar site for Filipino music. All I get are Filipino radio stations, but they interrupt the music with talk and commercials, which I hate. For more information on what's available online go to estatecarinsurance.com and check out what you can there. Won't be music but something important anyway.
