Neville's Financial Blog

My new money making avenue will be Resumite Personal Websites. I should have this business up and running by Dec. 15th.

This is where I will put any links.

Disco Balls – The best selections of Disco Balls on the internet, including full mirror ball sets that are ready to light a party.

Glowing Fingernails – this is a really cool item on House Of Rave that was recently added. It’s a set of 10 mini-glowsticks in fingernail form that you affix to your fingers with the included self-adhesive strips. A really cool product!

Glow Bracelets – A tube of 50 glowing bracelets.

Oggz – Oggz Color-Morphing Eggs. Oggz are soft, ever-changing accent lights that operate without wires and are rechargeable! Watch the Oggz slowly change color like magic, transforming colors through the whole rainbow. Oggz are ideal as a centerpiece for your dinner table, outdoor patio parties, holidays, and more… and of course, we clubbers can just imagine the cool possibilities of taking the soft squishy Oggz with us to a club and watching the crowd just go nuts for this unique light.

Burning Man Lights – Lights and equipment for Burning Man.

High Intensity Glow Sticks – Crack these glow sticks and they last extremely bright for about 30 minutes before fading to the intensity of a regular glowstick.

Party Strobe Light – If you’re throwing a little shindig and need a strobe light, this is the page to find it on.

Finger Lights – Lights that slip onto your fingers to illuminate whatever you want.

Disco Ball Set Up – If you need to know how to setup a disco ball, this is the place. We’ve got a quick tutorial, and also the disco balls, motors and lights you need to setup a disco party.

The easiest way to get my attention is to leave a comment on my site. All comments are emailed to me, even on old posts.

My contact info is located on my original website: Neville Medhora.
It would be easier to just give you my contact information here, but I want make you hunt for it.

I occasionally use Twitter primarily to mess with those screens that show your Tweet when you type in their handle:

It seems a lot of people expect me to get a job right after I graduate college. Why must that be the norm? Does a company care about your family and income when you loose your job? NO. So why should you slave away your life working for somebody else? Why work for a company when you can own it?

I think if you are up to the challenge and willing to take the risk of not having a steady income, you can become a very successful person if you work hard and if you work right.

I plan on becoming an Investment Creator, or one who creates investment vehicles for himself. These include businesses, stock investments and real estate. These things can all be done while holding a job or working full time towards them. The trick is to treat it like a job, in other words if you treat investing like a part time thing then you will not get full results.

After college I plan to either jump right in, or work for people who know the knowledge I seek then apply it to my own investments.

In my community there is a very successful man by the name of Mr. Bhandara. I have had the good fortune of working closely with Mr. Bhandara and his son who is also on a sure path to great success. I have learned an incredible amount by working with them and learning new business tactics.

What I found a little unnerving was the way people summed up his greatest business deals to Luck. Mr. Bhandara has built up his business not through what some perceive as luck, but by doing his research and purchasing properties when no one else wants them. He happens to get lucky when his real estate value skyrockets because the area becomes better. This was done by taking risks and having the courage to buy when no one else would. He took all the risk, all the expense and all the time, and therefore is entitled to all the rewards.



I truly admire his ability to spot a diamond in the rough through constant observing, and going through with his plans despite criticism. I hope to learn even more than I already have from Mr. Bhandara and his son. I feel extremely lucky they have both allowed me to tag along and learn.

The white-haired giant has proved himself right (again and again) in my trading strategies. Dynegy (DYN), a stock I bought for long term holding has exceeded all my expecations. It feels extremely good to sit back and let my extremely small investment of around $1,500 gain 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and as of now 25%. I am riding on $400 profit as I type.

I figured I would take a big loss at first and let it even out in the long run, but this stock has been charging ahead based on financials and not emotion, a situation I love.

One thing that helps me out yet gets in the way is college. Right now I have plans to carry out, businesses to start, websites to design, stocks to buy and research to do….and a full time course load.

I have always placed business priorities above school work, but that needs to change for the end of this semester. I am a borderline student because my heart has never been into school, and that border is dangerously close right now. I need to get my educational act together and start concentrating on school. I have enough hours in the day, but I need to study more efficiently.



Reminer to Self: Semester is almost over and you are borderline, rise above that line with some hard work…PLEASE!
