The Start

This is the first post of our new blog. We will mostly be discussing investments and sports as these are two of our favorite things. Gees, that sounded like a "Sounds of Music" reference. Anyways, we wanted to put our ideas out there to hopefully get some feedback and as a running diary of how good we are at making predictions about stocks and sports. We will have positions in many of the stocks we mention but we are by no means experts or even professionals. Just a couple of guys who love to see assets making assets. We do not bet on sports, and not because it's illegal, but because the funding of internet betting websites is illegal and we have run out of money. That might be an indication of how good we are at that activity. For example, the over/under on Cleveland Browns wins this season was 6. Now I, like many of you out there, thought there was no way the Browns would win more than 5 games, let alone 6. It was a no brainer of sorts. So I thought. Turns out they have already made it a push, and with their remaining schedule could win at least 4 more, if not the rest. Really, look at their schedule and tell me they can't win them all. I know its not probable, which is why i put them at 10 wins, but it is very possible. The combined record of their remaining opponents is 20-40, or something. Bottom line is if it seems like a no brainer, Vegas probably knows something you don't, so stay away. (Apparently someone in Vegas saw Joe Thomas block in preseason and thought he would be a rookie of the year candidate, helping the abysmal Browns o-line become one of the better units in the league. Who knew?)

Well that's it for now. My partner and I (nothing sexual) have been trying to start this blog thing for a while so there should be pretty regualr posts, at least at the beginning. Should have a couple more for you this week.
