www.thegeeksmack.com – I feel like I’m shrieking duties, but this week is a Golf week for me. 4 years ago I gave up the game to focus on the business. Once I became successful, I would bring the game back into my schedule. Yesterday doesn’t mark that success, for I was golfing in a benefit tournament I was invited to. Tonight I’ll be doing the same. But first, a Geek Smack!

In this recent heat wave, it’s important that everyone stays cool. That goes for your pet, too. Keep Spot cool with the Climate Controlled cage.

Geek Smack! Topic of the Week: S&P Downgrades – Should Tech Market be Concerned?
The S&P downgraded the stock market the other day. Whereas we lost over 600 points in 24 hours, the market is starting to come back – with a 200 point rebound today.
There is a lot of concern about whether we’re a “AAA” country. There is also question whether we hit a newer recession only a couple years after the Fanny Mae / Freddy Mac fiasco.
Sometimes you have to hit a valley before you go for a peak. Reality is, the Dow did not drop below 10,000 and is settling back in. While I’m no financial expert, I still have faith in this system.
It’s a good time to buy into a tech stock, for the prices are low…
