Today you’ll be inspired by Rocky, learn how to go from pushing to running, make use of dating tips when preparing for that first client meeting, and find out what’s up with the DOW. All in all, a fairly eclectic group.
Brian Brady at America’s Most Opinionated Mortgage Broker wrote It’s About How Hard You Get Hit And Keep Moving Forward, which gives us a huge dose of heart by none other than Rocky Balboa. You’ll have to forgive Brian, as he’s a Philly boy himself, having grown up there. In my way of thinking Brian brings us universal truth with this one. Brian’s mostly heart himself.
Seth Godin tells us when to stop pushing and start running in Pushing And Running. I saw this principle in use (without knowing what I was seeing of course) with my Dad’s company. He ran with it, posting some astounding numbers for several years. As usual with Seth, this is simple, to the poinnt, and a MUST READ.
Austin Realtor’s Wife gives us How Not To Screw Up… which converts the 10 dating disasters to what Realtors should avoid when meeting clients for the first time. I can tell you from personal experience how I was a ‘serial victim’ of #1 when I was dating online before I found my lovely bride. When you can’t identify someone by their picture, and the choice is only between them and one person standing next to them……… 
Max Whitmore gives us his view of what he expects to become a ‘super boom’ for the next 3-4 years. Remember, Max’s charts have called every market move since the ’60′s. His recent piece, Dow In Dangerous Territory? is more evidence of his understanding of the big picture. I think you’ll like Max because he goes out of his way to avoid the double-talk and obfuscation most economists use when speaking or writing. He’s one of us. An absolute MUST READ.

Well clearly, due to content, today’s Bawldy is worth significantly more than 1/365th of the annual award… I would venture a guess around 13/365ths of the value, right?
jk… thanks for the nod (and for NOT wearing Hawiian shirts at work)!
I used to wear ‘subdued’ Hawaiian shirts all the time. And almost daily folks asked me who made them cuz they were so cool.
So there.
Thanks for today’s contribution – but you’re worth it every day.
Max Whitmore’s link comes up with a “page not found” error.
Otherwise, great articles!
Yo, Bawldy.
Yo Mr. Opinionated.
And thanks to Greg, the link he spoke of is fixed.
Ah, Jeff. You’re talking Philly now
Thanks for the support of my dad’s column. I’ve never known anyone to work so hard or be so committed to what he does as my dad is about the markets–I am generally in awe of the depth of his knowledge and commitment to understanding the workings of the markets, through motion and history and well, sometimes just common sense. Glad to see someone benefitting from it!
Max’s daughter – Welcome.
Your dad is the essence of solid research, hard work, pure and unfiltered expertise, and the courage to talk about what he sees happening.
You can’t help but like the guy.
Please come back.
