(someone wrote me, asking for investment advice - LOL! This was back in 1999, when the market was flying high.)

My Advice:

Take all your money out of the market. The bubble is gonna come crashing down. Invest your capital directly into people and projects that you yourself have a say and can manage.

There are tens of thousands of small alternative businesses that need investment! Is greed your only motivation for investing? Then obviously you don't belong on this site. If you really care about more than money, then get involved personally, and use your money to help people, not companies. You might not get as much a financial return, but you'll feel way better about yourself.

When I realized that I was supporting the greed driven capitalist system, I took my money out of investments and put it into this website. I've never felt better (and I sleep a lot better, too)!

Suggested Reading

click for more info or to purchase!My Hippie Grandmother
by Reeve Lindbergh, Abby Carter (Illustrator)

This clever, beautifully illustrated, rhyming book is perfect to read to young children. With catchy lines like: "I have a Hippie Grandmother/I'm so glad she's mine/She hasn't cut her hair since 1969." it's a hit not just with the kids but the hip generation as well. A great way to bond across the decades and to pass on some of our values to our next generation.
