SPEAKER: Holmes Osborne is a Financial Annalist and Money Manager. He suggests buying stock in companies you know like Target, McDonalds, Macy’s, Disney, etc. especially when their times are bad such as when McDonalds had laws suits against them and their stick fell. He bought at that time and now the stock is doing very well. For more information or to receive his newsletter please contact him at 310-899-6044 or www.holmesosborne.com

Just a thought… If work is so terrific, how come they have to pay you to do it?

Do good, have fun, smile like you mean it!
