<p>Here is an article that was in one of the investment letters that I sometimes read. It makes a lot of sense.</p>
<p>Do you agree or dissagree?</p>
<p>Do you suffer from information overload? I know that I sometimes do.</p>

<div style="color: gray; font-family: verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 1em;">By Nick Hodge | Friday, April 6th, 2012</div>
<div style="font-family: verdana,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><img style="margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px; float: left;" border="0" alt="Nick Hodge" src="http://images.wealthdaily.com/nick-hodge_75.png"/><p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">There <em>is</em> such a thing as information overload.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">And in this high-speed digital age, I think we're all affected by it in some way.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">On more than a few occasions lately, I've heard this sentiment echoed in various ways...</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">The first came from an essay simply titled “Avoid News” by Rolf Dobelli, a Swiss novelist and entrepreneur who also has a show on Bloomberg in Germany.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">His take is that “news is to the mind what sugar is to the body.”</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">By trying to consume so many fleeting headlines we get distracted, stifle critical thinking, and fill ourselves with anxiety and despair.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;"><em>Oakland shooting. Treyvon Martin. Tornadoes. Syria. Iran. Obamacare. Primaries. Debates. GDP. Unemployment. And on. And on. And on.</em></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">News today is meant to generate a click on a website — not to inform you of the nuances of the situations, dive into the backstories, or deliver hard-hitting follow-ups.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">And in most cases, none of the “news” has a direct impact on your life, your decision-making, or your bottom line.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">I'd submit it's not even news; it's hyped-up sideshow stuff needed to fill the space created by a 24-hour news cycle and pay-per-click advertising.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;"><em>Pope Visits Communist Cuba.</em></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">That doesn't impact my existence — and frankly, I don't care.</p>

<p style="text-align: center; margin-bottom: 1em;"><strong>Collect a $1,638 "Rent" Check Every Month</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">Some investors have found a way to collect huge "rent" checks <span style="text-decoration: underline;">every month</span> by partnering with one of the world's biggest "landlords."</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">One man from Ontario gets $1,638/month. Another in Arizona gets an amazing $5,969/month. One Texas man's checks have grown to $23,220/month!</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;"><em>And they're receiving these checks without owning any real estate!</em></p>

<hr size="1"/><strong>Missing Something</strong><p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">Don't worry about missing something, Dobelli says.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">If something truly noteworthy happens, you'll hear about it.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">But most of the time, there isn't anything to miss.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">The important stuff is the causation, the way different stories are related, and the way events touch our lives independently.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">And you aren't getting that from a staff writer at the <em>Associated Press</em> or from the middle-aged women wearing too much makeup who warn you about the one thing in your pantry that could kill you, but won't tell you more until you tune it at 11 to watch the advertisements.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">What's worse, instead of just reporting, they try to rationalize and justify...</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;"><em>Oil Down on Inventories. Oil Up on Jobless Claims. Oil Flat on Retail Sales.</em></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">Give me a break. If they knew why oil was up or down, they wouldn't be writing news stories for $40k a year. They have an undergrad degree in journalism, not quite the market intuition of a billionaire fund manager.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">As Dobelli says, “Any journalist who writes, 'The market moved because of X' or 'The company went bankrupt because of Y' is an idiot.”</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">He recommends abandoning newspapers, the evening news, news websites, and news apps, and instead reading long-form essays, editorials, and books.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">The purpose of “news” in the modern era is to sound urgent and important. Most of it is not.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;"><strong>Evidence</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">Cook County Hospital in Chicago is the basis for the hit TV show <em>ER.</em></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">In the late 1990s, it started changing the way it diagnosed heart attacks...</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">Instead of considering all factors — age, medical history, smoking, exercise, etc. — and then allowing the doctor to make a diagnosis, the hospital decided to look at <span style="text-decoration: underline;">only four factors</span>: the ECG, presence of angina, fluid in lungs, and blood pressure.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">It didn't matter if the patient was a 60-year-old pack-a-day smoker or a 25-year-old long-distance runner.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">Then the hospital did a two-year test. Part of the time doctors tried to diagnose heart attacks on their own using all available information; part of the time they would look only at the four factors I described above.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">You can probably guess who won by the point of this article...</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">Doctors got it right between 79% and 89% of the time.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;"><em>The four factors got it right more than 95% of the time.</em></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">Here's Malcolm Gladwell, who wrote about this event in his book <em>Blink</em>:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px; margin-bottom: 1em;">Why is the Cook County experiment so important? Because we take it, as a given, that the more information decision makers have, the better off they are. If the specialist we are seeing says she needs to do more tests or examine us in more detail, few of us think that's a bad idea... All that extra information isn't actually an advantage at all... in fact, you need to know very little to find the underlying signature of a complex phenomenon. That extra information is more than useless. It's harmful. It confuses the issues.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px; margin-bottom: 1em;">What screws up doctors when they are trying to predict heart attacks is that they take <em>too much</em> information into account.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">It isn't intuitive, but it's correct.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">Imagine how hard it was to convince the country's doctors that <span style="text-decoration: underline;">three questions</span> could diagnose a heart attack better than their years of education, training, and full information on the patient.</p>

<p style="text-align: center; margin-bottom: 1em;"><strong>The ONLY Metal More Precious Than Gold</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">Most investors obsessing over gold's luster are in for a major shock.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">We recently uncovered another mineral — now being fought over across the entire planet — that's far more precious, valuable, and profitable to investors than gold will ever be.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;"><a href="http://email.angelnexus.com/ct/8347133%3a11656271646%3am%3a1%3a300393573%3a73C78AE300A53719C5706925912D2D3E%3ar" target="_blank">One expert exposes the entire eye-popping story here. </a></p>
<hr size="1"/>But guess what?<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">Cook County is now one of the preeminent hospitals in the country for diagnosing chest pain.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">And just this week, a group of nine specialty medical boards — from oncology to cardiology — recommended doctors perform 45 common tests <em>less often.</em></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">Eight others will soon follow suit, and the American Board of Internal Medicine Foundation in conjunction with Consumer Reports is launching an educational campaign aimed at showing doctors and patients that less information can indeed be more.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;"><strong>Tune It Out</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">I've urged you many times to 'tune out the noise.'</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">From <em>Toddlers and Tiaras</em> to the daily infights of our Congress, much of the stuff that overloads our senses is impertinent.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">I spent the past few days fishing in the Keys. I hardly read any news, financial or otherwise...</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">And I felt more in tune than I had in months.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">So take a break. Tune it out. And try to hone in on what really matters — and has bearing on <em>your</em>life.</p>

<p>Pew Research just released their survey of international Values. I find that I probably should be an European. It also identifies one of the reasons that I have trouble getting dates. 58% of American women think that you have to believe in god in order to be moral or have good values. However it doesn't identify how many of those are looking for an immoral man. So, maybe I still have a chance with some of them.</p>

<p>Maybe I should post this in the love column.. Do you think that people who are extra attractive don't take the havoc that they can wreak in another's life seriously enough? Are they more likely to be treated as possessions then people? I know when I was younger, I was really sick of getting hit on. And I still don't think I'm all that attractive. It was like someone was always trying to tackle me so I couldn't acheive my goals. Or someone liked the way I looked but everything else had to go.…</p>

<p> </p>
<p>I had a boyfriend for a few short monthes once who was physically very attractive oy, but I got rid of him the second he started backing me into walls and raising his hands to me. Actually , I punched him in the nose and kicked him in the nuts before I realized what I was doing. Then I changed my locks and phone number.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have four kids and two of them are extra good looking. A young woman and a young man. The young man went through the ugly duckling overweight and lots of pimples thing but now he's driving women crazy.She was told she could model underwear when she went into Victoria's Secret. I sent her to live with her Dad cause trying to keep grown men away from her was like me guarding Fort Knox with a rubber band and a paper clip. Now I just sent the son a letter about how he referred to women in one of his posts.

<p>I haven't been bored in ages.</p>
<p>So much to do so little time.</p>
<p>I'm retired. I spend all my time sitting on the bench in the park down by the County Courthouse. Right?</p>
<p>I don't think they even put out benches anymore. What happened? why aren't I sitting around grousing about the young people, and the country going to hell in a hand basket?</p>

<p>I do have a part time position to provide me a free RV site. But that is only 20 hours a week.</p>

<p>I went to a Borders Book Store "going Out of Business" sale yesterday. Bought a bunch more books.</p>
<p>Here are the things I need to do. Learn to use Facebook. Learn to use more apps on my Blackberry. Study the Stockmarket. Relearn Microsoft Office Word. Brush up on Microsoft Excel. Eat Breakfast. Walk Happy(the dog). Not, walk happy. I'm usually happy when walking Happy.</p>
<p>Check e-mail. Check my bank accounts. Download and learn to use Skype. so I can talk with my son In Afghanistan. Clean up and go to church. It's Sunday. Get prepared to work the first day of my three day workweek tomorrow. Climb on top of the RV and wash the roof. Do laundry. Straighten and clean the RV. Read a book of lectures by George Soros. Read a couple Sci Fi books that I bought yesterday. Read a 422 page memoir by Christoper Hitchens, That I bought yesterday. Plan my travels for the next few months. Exercise.</p>

<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 5pt"><div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt"><p class="ecxecxecxMsoNormal"><b><span style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">Tonight, I thought my husband was acting weird. We had made plans to meet at a bar to have a drink. I was shopping with my friends all day long, so I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a bit late, but he made no comment on it.<br/><br/>Conversation wasn't flowing, so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet so we could talk. He agreed, but he didn't say much. I asked him what was wrong. He said, 'Nothing.' I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset. He said he wasn't upset, that it had nothing to do with me, and not to worry about it.<br/><br/>On the way home, I told him that I loved him. He smiled slightly, and kept driving. I can't explain his behavior. I don't know why he didn't say, 'I love you, too.' When we got home, I felt as if I had lost him completely, as if he wanted nothing to do with me anymore. He just sat there quietly, and watched TV. He continued to seem distant and absent.<br/><br/>Finally, with silence all around us, I decided to go to bed. About 15 minutes later, he came to bed. To my surprise, he responded to my caress, and we made love. But I still felt that he was distracted, and his thoughts were somewhere else. He fell asleep - I cried. I don't know what to do. I'm almost sure that his thoughts are with someone else. My life is a disaster...</span></b></p>
