Hobbies Can Make or Break You

I think that one important that can make or break you, at least financially, are your hobbies. There are many types of hobbies, some of which range from the expensive, for example traveling, to free ones such as jogging, reading or blogging. There are also some hobbies that can even help us make money by using some of the information acquired with our interest in the topic, for example investing.

Is Retiring a Millionaire Just a Dream?

Is being a millionaire an almost impossible dream? In reality, most of us are going to need at least that magical seven digits in order to retire comfortably.

Thoughts on Oil and Gas Companies (Part 1)

With the price of oil continuing to stay quite low and with oil shares trading at some of their lowest prices of the year, oil and gas shares (and their related services) may look like good purchases with their low P/E  and P/B ratio for long-term investors taking advantage of the downside of the cycle.

With a lot to talk about this topic, I'll be splitting this into two parts, the first part being this one and focusing on the financials of the oil and gas companies (focusing on Ezion and Ezra) and in the second part, discussing on the views of the oil price and other factors that would affect these companies.
