I’m sure you have seen the recent up and down swings of the stock market in the last few weeks and who knows how much longer this will last. Some may be scared of Wall Street right now and it can be tough to figure out where to put your money at during times like these. The Market will recover and hopefully after a few changes it will be stronger than ever. We don’t want to buy stocks when the market is doing well anyways and there are a lot of bargains you can find right now. I think there is dozens of bargains in just about every sector at the moment and this includes the not so popular financial sector right now. Banks and credit cards are getting hit the hardest right now, but some of these companies might just be where the biggest gains can be made for tomorrow. Instead of trying to figure out all of the answers on your own, seek all the investing tools you can and an online community like Inner 8 might just be the best place to be right now.

Inner 8 is a great new opportunity for investors that use their computers to help them with market strategies; to have a new investment tool at their disposal. A community filled with people like you and from people that have had success in the market before; all coming together to share ideas, tricks, tips and views on current and future market situations. I think all investors need a place to ask questions and share ideas about the market and Inner 8 is striving to make that happen for people that seek investment knowledge online. This is a great time to grow with a new investment community and make new friends with people that are all sharing the same interests as you and that is to win this game we call the Stock Market.

I know there will be some people out there that will want to wait and see where the Market goes from here. I think some of those folks might be missing out on a chance to really cash in on the current situation. Its ideas like this that can be discussed in an open forum and with people that have more knowledge and experience than you or I have at the moment. It might be best to sit tight and let things play out and you can have the opportunity to hear ideas and views like this being shared at a place like Inner 8. I think their timing couldn’t be better right now and if you’re counting on your investments for retirement or your children’s college education, I think you should seek out every investment tool and online community that you can, so you can be making the best choices possible in a time where knowledge is everything!

The college football world got shook up this past weekend and many teams in the top 25 lost this past weekend. However, they didn’t rank the teams properly and once again I have to go back and correct their mistakes. I still can’t believe USC is ranked ahead of the Georgia Bulldogs and this continues to make no sense. Why have a two win team with 1 loss to a unranked team over a team with 4 wins and 1 loss to a team that was ranked 8th overall in the country? The system in college football has been broken since week 2 and they continue to give USC too much favoritism for a team that won’t be able to prove their self against any real competition this year. The Georgia Bulldogs have the toughest schedule in the country this year and now they are getting ranked lower than they should, because teams like USC have no games to help spring board them ahead of the pack. Other teams must prove their worth in college football every year; while USC gets a free ride.

Recruits need to leave USC out of the picture and they are the most over-hyped team in all of sports today. USC will face suspensions in the future due to their recruiting practices and the Reggie Bush situation is far from over in the college ranks. If you have USC on your list of schools to visit; then just cross them off and your better off choosing a school that will get to compete in the bowl games of college football.

Now that I have stated my points on the USC program and how they are the biggest thorn to the college football system right now; I will move on to my rankings. This is the real ranks of college football after the first 5 Saturdays of the season:

1. Oklahoma

2. Alabama

3. LSU

4. Texas

5. Missouri

6. Georgia

7. BYU

8. Texas Tech

9. Penn State

10. South Florida

11. Utah

12. Florida

13. Auburn

14. Kansas

15. Wisconsin

16. Vanderbilt

17. Virginia Tech

18. Oklahoma State

19. USC

20. Wake Forrest

21. Georgia Tech

22. Oregon

23. Boise State

24. Maryland

25. Michigan State

These Real Ranks serve a much more service to the current state of college football; than the AP or USA Today Polls do. It’s bad that college football continues to over rank teams and allow teams in weak divisions as high as they do on the list. Ohio State is not a top 25 team and they have been ranked in the top 25 all year and even spent 2 weeks in the top 5 of the country. Let’s put the teams in real order and we can do a much better job at the end of the year; pairing these teams up to play in competitive bowl games. The current polls would create many blowouts if we took the top 24 teams in their lists right now and put 1 and 2 together, 3 and 4 together, etc…

Let’s stand up and fix college football!

It’s never too early to buy for Christmas or the newest addition to the family. Gifts for baby on Christmas is important and all babies should get gifts for their first Christmas. You can find many unique baby gifts online and if you go ahead and order them now, they will arrive in plenty of time for Christmas. Birthdays are also a time to buy gifts for baby and all birthdays should be showered with gifts too. If you know of a little one that will be having a birthday soon, try to take the time and find that baby a gift for their birthday. You never know what memories they will remember later on in their childhood and it might just be a gift you got for them. I know all babies are different and you never know what will be that one gift they take to the best. I hear stories all the time that some babies like the box better than the gift that came inside of it. So you might want to even keep that in mind; when you pick out a gift for the youngest member of the household. Baby gifts are not that expensive in many cases and it doesn’t take much to please a baby or a young child.

No one likes the faces or bodies that nature gave them and today there is many ways to artificially change the body and face. It’s a big industry and many millions get spent every year on cosmetic surgery techniques to help people that want to improve their appearance. I’m not sure what’s wrong with a lot of these folks and in some cases people make their appearance worse by trying these modern methods of cosmetic surgery. I know if you had acne on your face, you would want to take steps to make that better; I just don’t see the clear advantages of Botox and other medical procedures that people use to improve their appearance. Be happy with who you’re and don’t let the outside pressures of life and modern technology force you into making a mistake with your appearance and you might just be better off in the long run!

The fuel shortage continues in the South and now all Georgia residents better realize the seriousness of this problem. Gas is going to be a problem for the remainder of the 2008 year and the problems are a long ways from being fixed. This means keeping your cars filled up and if you can invest in a few gas cans this would be wise too. Be sure to create your own storage for precious fuel as the Colonial Pipeline and other areas of fuel coming into the State are not working at 100 percent capacity.

The recent pictures or words on the local media outlets in Atlanta are not aware of just how bad the fuel problems are for Georgia and other parts in the South. These gas shortage problems are not any better and they will only get worse as the year progresses. They hope for people to ration at the pumps, but this only leaves you without fuel if you follow their steps. Trick or treating will probably be canceled this year in the state of Georgia and we are 30 days away from that time of the year. So if Halloween hasn’t got here yet; then you know the problems are still in place. No fuel at the pumps will be the story that continues beyond Halloween and bad information is getting translated in the news programs on television and in our newspapers. The problems are not better today and they have got worse and this is going to be something we will have to deal with for a long time to come.

I know the news has told us all that things are getting better and we are now even seeing pictures of gas stations that have gas with no lines. This is just a move by the leaders of the State to try and prevent people from over-buying at the pumps. The fuel shortage is not going to be fixed in metro Atlanta until more oil gets into our region. The refineries aren’t as big of a problem as people think they are and the actual facts point to a shortage in fuel and not the refineries being down.

Now is the time to take steps to protect yourself and make sure your not the one that has no gas. It can be stressful looking for gas in metro Atlanta right now and you can relieve a lot of this stress if you stay full and have at least 2 five gallon cans of gas in supply at home. This is the best way to prevent you and your family from running out. We all have places to go and getting to work is at the top of that list. If you must drive to work and carpooling and public transportation is out of the question, you will want to build up your own fuel reserves at home and stock up on the gas when it is available. The fuel shortages in Atlanta may continue through the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays, so the time to buy gas is now! Don’t get caught on empty and stock up on gas at the pumps when you find it in Atlanta or other parts in Georgia that might be experiencing fuel shortages right now.
