Chapter 2 Website Notes:
Browser Info:
The browser is important in determining what we see.
To see what your browser version is, with most browsers, left-click on
"Help" then left-click on "About".
According to SitePro statistics, Internet Explorer 6 is used by 42% of
Internet browsers. Despite its popularity, Internet Explorer 6 (or less) does not show websites well. These Internet Explorer browsers
are not standards compliant. They don't show what they are supposed to
show.
Firefox 2 shows websites well. According to SitePro statistics, it is
already used by 31% of Internet browsers. It is my favorite browser
by far. It better complies with W3 web standards, showing websites
the way they are supposed to look. It is a safer browser than Internet
Explorer. It is fast. It is free. You can easily download it to your
computer, unless you are on a restrictive network. Then you may be
able to download it to the documents section of your hard disk. Or,
ask your network administrator to help you.
Firefox is available for download from the Links Page of the Chapter 2
website ( http://www.calcseachapter2.org/ ) I recommend it as a great
browser to let you see all websites better.
Internet Explorer 7 and Netscape 7.2 also show websites well.
Get a good browser, if you want to see the Chapter 2 website at its best.
Website statistics are now available on our Home Page. We are now
averaging 43 hits, 19 pages, and 10 visits a day.
You can easily provide feedback through the Feedback Page.
And, the Forum is available for discussion.
Proud to be working with you.

April 5, 2007 Chapter 2 Website Updates & Improvements
Fellow Chapter 2 Website Email Forum Members,

In addition to our April 2 Meeting Page, I have updated and improved

Effective and Offensive (Not Merely Defensive) Money Management
Fellow Chapter 2 Email Group Members,
I have a few basic ideas and principles to share to avoid going broke,
which is easy to do if you live to be 100 – more and more likely.
These ideas are available at my "Effective Living Principles" website
(http://www.geocities.com/bscovill_98/flash/principles_of_effective_living6.swf
) in the "Investment Principles" section.
1. Begin early. Don't wait to save. There are only two components of
saving, time and rate of return. If you wait, you are throwing away
much of your saving power. If you need an operation, a trip, or to
fund a charity, or whatever, it is nice to have some savings.
2. Use compound interest. Don't withdraw money from your savings.
Let the growth compound for you. Allegedly Albert Einstein said,
"Compound interest is the greatest mathematical discovery of all time."
3. Invest in equities. Long term (periods of 10 years or longer),
nothing beats stocks. This has been demonstrated repeatedly in the
Ibbotson Studies and in "Stocks for the Long Run" by Jeremy Siegel.
• To invest in equities, you can buy mutual funds and/or the stocks of
individual companies. This is a great opportunity; you can own part
(shares) of successful companies. Your money can work for you 24
hours a day.
4. In Sacramento we are fortunate to have two self-help investment
education organizations: The American Association of individual
Investors – 916-858-1845 and Better-Investing (formerly the National
Association of Investors Corporation) – 916-927-8625. I am a
life-time member of both of these organizations. They helped me
retire, and I recommend both of them.
Nobody should end up on a very limited fixed income. These principles
and ideas have helped me. I hope they will help you.
Bernie

Bernie,
I believe you are supposed to clear in advancewhat you are presentingto Chapter 02 members. In addition, what program are you using for the videos on the website? My computer reads almost any video in the various programs I have, but it will not open your videos.

"I believe you are supposed to clear in advance what you are
presenting to Chapter 02 members."
As I understand it, the Forum is for free discussion of ideas.
The website has a Feedback page so officers and members can let me
know what they think of the website pages.
"In addition, what program are you using for the videos on the
website? My computer reads almost any video in the various programs I
have, but it will not open your videos."
I don't have any videos on the website. I have .pdf files, which can
be opened with Acrobat Reader. For audio, I have .wav files and and
one .m4a file. Itune, Real Player, or Windows Media Player software
can play these audio files.
"Dick Mesa"
It was your tie-breaking vote that made our website possible. I hope
the website will satisfy you and the rest of Chapter 2.
Thanks for writing and for all you have done for our Chapter.
Bernie, Webmaster of Chapter 2 ( http://www.calcseachapter2.org/ )
