Bookkeeping: Stopped Out of Greenhill & Co (GHL) Short
This short lasted longer than I imagined considering the market action... the irony is the first day in 2 weeks the S&P finally opens in the red, one of my shorts gets taken away. Oh mother market - you are so cruel. Greenhill & Co (GHL) jumped over my stop loss of $78.20 (entry was $76.50) so I will take the 2.2% loss on the position that began a week ago Wednesday and exit. I don't see any particular news for the move but perhaps there was a broker upgrade.

Building the Investment Case for Green Homes
The Economic Benefits of Sustainable Real Estate March 3, 2010 By Guest Contributor Sally Russell
The common misconception that investing in energy efficient homes is more expensive than traditional homes is being upended.
Many buyers have heard that prices for green homes are higher; therefore, requiring greater down payments and less affordable monthly mortgage payments. Similarly, some builders have shied away from green construction projects as the materials for such homes can be higher.
Best Places to Invest for Retirement
A reader named KC recently wrote in with a question about investing for retirement:
I’m 28 years old with a wife and a six month old baby. We’ve always been money-conscious, but would really like to focus our efforts. We both have Roth IRAs, but are not satisfied with them. They are heavily loaded, and we weren’t that familiar with them when we were advised to set them up. My question is where you would recommend I go for a long-term investing vehicle? I always hear to go with no-load mutual funds but would like your opinion.

New Forex Robot on the Block
We recently received an email from a group that’s been developing the Forex Ultra Robot. If you been to our site more than once you know we like robot trading. Finding a perfect robot isn’t easy, but there are a lot of potentially good ones out there. After receiving this email I wrote back asking for a demo copy so I can share my results with everyone. Within a couple of hours I got a very nice email from the Forex UltraBot Marketing team. They gave me complete access to the robot members area to learn about their robot.
