ROI

Return on Investment.

I'm a big fan of return on investment. That's one of the things I look at when I screen stocks but I don't just apply it to the market. I like a good ROI on anything I do. I don't really mind if I have to put in more work into something if I feel that the return I get is worth the extra work. But I absolutely hate it when there is no ROI. If I put in time and energy and everything I have into something and I can't reap the rewards in the end, then I feel like I haven't accomplished anything. And I hate treading water.

Ankit-san is number 1

Jay and I say dumb/corny things to each other all day long. During lunch there was something on tv about construction and Jay said something about a stud-finder. And, of course, my response was "I don't need a stud finder, I'm right here." He shot a look of "are you drunk" at me. So I told him to take a poll of everyone in the cafeteria if I'm a stud. He didn't want to poll everyone because there were people in the room he didn't really know. But he asked this one Japanese girl and she gave and emphatic yes and added that I'm very popular with the Japanese girls there. Oh yeah! :-) I'm going to go over and drop my pen in that area and give the ladies a treat. hahaha i should take advantage.. it's not like I have a girlfriend or anything.
