So there you have it just about everything I watch, now just about because the post was getting too long! The biggest thing I do is dedicate a time to read almost everyday. Yes I watch entirely too much CNBC but Bloomberg is boring and there isn’t another channel that talks money all the time. Oh yeah don’t forget I respond to a lot of blogs under the alias of Mr. Goldfinger LOL!

Bruh! I just emailed you for the basic format of shows you watch. You gave me the nutritional value and the heart smart angle too. LMBAO.
Nah mayne thanks for letting us know what’s feeding Freeman.
Hey you weren’t the only one. I just wanted to break the posts up a bit and decided to drop this topic today. I spend the majority of my day looking at what makes money for other folk. It’s pretty much my hobby some people make a house of cards I sit here and wrap my brain around what’s happening to Dubai World!
Either way enjoy as I know you probably watch similar shows I watch… Ok maybe not that much CNBC but you should!
So you are human! I was starting to think this guy is a evil genuis but since you are watching the Cleveland Show I guess you can’t be all that bad. Too much CNBC is a understatement you watch that like my kids watch Nick.
C’mon I do this for fun I live a whole other life. I look forward to seeing how you guys respond and think. I know it’s a lot of information and a lot of different information at that, but you’d be surprised how many people are coming to this site. I know I am!
CNBC is just my angle. I watched that channel and believe it or not my life is a combination of doing and watching CNBC. LOL
Your day mirrors your viewing;
Money 80%
Food 10%
Fitness 10%
I wonder if everyone is the same (only different shows and different percentages).
Hey lets not forget what I am reading might not always be money related as I have a personal goal of reading so many books a month.
I hope everyone doesn’t have the same breakout of their day otherwise why would they come and listen to me. If you are concentrating on money 80% of the time I should be learning from them.
“ed” once commented that free radio is shit so he listens to your blogcasts instead.
People always say, “You are what you eat”.
I’m thinking that people put out what they ingest.
Everybody eats junk food now and again (TRHOA or FTLORJ), but overall – what one takes in will determine their outcome.
I still haven’t become the stock market champ just yet and I’ve been watching CNBC for about a decade now. LOL. I think the biggest thing I got from CNBC is seeing how interconnected money is.
Ed gave me a super compliment with that because if people knew I was just talking unedited for 20 minutes straight people would know I’m damn near crazy.
I agree if you can create your own environment for success its bound to happen. Maybe that’s why I keep reading and learning about money so that one day I can build the empire and do what I really want to do in this world. Or I can move down there with you and help you with the old ladies!
u know i’m bout 2 get up on cnbc now, right? lol
I gotta second that, you do watch to much CNBC. Back when I was more of an entrepreneur and had more free time, I used to alternate between CNBC, CNN International, BBC, and MSNBC. When you start to see how everything is so interrelated the more complete picture it paints just proves that we actually are constantly on the verge of disaster. Hell it depressed me so much that I started watching soap operas.
It’s funny you mentioned Dubai World. A minute ago, the average Joe thought Dubai was like the land of gold or something. That story getting out proves what a lot of us already knew. The fact that this financial mess is hitting everywhere worldwide. So if you know that, you also know that those clowns on the local news are just lying when they say it’s all because your neighbor ain’t paying their mortgage on time
Generally, I still watch CNBC, CNN, CNNI, and the history channel. But I love Real Chance at Love on VH1. So hey I guess we all watch stupid sh*t too.
@Keish – It’s worth taping especially Jim Cramer and all the biographies and roundtables they have. It’s great information that in due time will help you make good decisions.
@Carl – I admit my addiction! Nawww I haven’t went down to soap operas but I decided to stay away from politics especially MSNBC because they sensationalize regular stuff. Then they pit two names you know but names that really have no power to do anything to talk about it all day. So politics are dead to me it’s the battleground for pseudo intellectuals.
Yeah Dubai world is interesting. The more you see stuff overseas the more you realize the mfers talking about it on TV have no clue on money. I mean they just regurgitate some dumb ass angle they got off Reuters. That’s why the system collapsed in the first place because a bunch of followers spread bad information and actually tried to build upon it.
Real Chance at Love is too over the top for me because man perm and skinny thug are too much. Makes me think of bay area rappers like Dru Down and Celly Cell.
