My new investment strategy- The Phillies

Who else is sick of watching the markets??? I checked randomly yesterday about 3 times while I was at work (consider that I still work in Milan, and so there is a 6 hour time difference usually), and all three times I checked, there was a different snap shot. Roller coaster doesn’t even begin to correctly describe the action. So, to go back to my post of a few weeks ago saying that a solid job/future for all you business majors could lie in Directors and Officers insurance, I have some news.

EVERYONE is looking for D&O underwriters right now it seems. I was looking around the internet today at some of our competitors and that is the one consistency I found- D&O- everywhere you look D&O.

In other financial news, I made a 10 Euro bet with one of our marketing people (who oddly enough happens to be a huge – and informed- baseball fan) on the World Series. Since I went for the Phillies it seems like I’m going to see a positive return on this. Which given the state of things, is probably a safer “investment strategy” than actually investing. So yes, I’m going to try to supplement my retirement with well placed bets on American sporting events against uninformed Italians.

Maybe if I can fool enough people into my little Ponzi scheme here I can retire after the Super Bowl…build an empire based on nothing.
