Just outside the wall of the “compound” condo retreat, across the street at the Howler Monkeys. You’d never guess by listening to him that this guy is only about the size of a cocker spaniel, he sounds like a roaring gorilla. In reality, as you can tell from the picture to the right, they’re quite small and a bit vulnerable. Threats to howler monkeys include being hunted for food and captivity. From what I saw they live in groups up 18 or so individuals. Judging from their ease of limb walking these guys are native to South and Central American forests. Monkey is a monkey does - they have prehensile tails. Go figure.
Leaf snatching starts early around 7:00 each morning. This morning trek has them beginning from closer to the ocean then heading off towards Mel Gibson’s chunk of rain forest. Like 40 million dollars worth of chunk. Judging from the crazy prices I saw at Samara Beach, Mel’s slab can’t be too terrible.
Video I took while sitting with partner discussing CNBC video on business in Costa Rica. The location of this video is at construction site of Montelaguna Residence.
Our travel through Costa Rica has us in Samara Beach, Costa Rica. Directly across the street from our condo on the mountain side is a family of Howler Monkeys.
The howler monkeys (genus Alouatta monotypic in subfamily Alouattinae) are among the largest of the New World monkeys. Nine species are currently recognised. Previously classified in the family Cebidae, they are now placed in the family Atelidae.
As you know, Val and I are on vacation in Samara, Costa Rica. This morning will typing a proposal the Howler monkeys directly across the street were screeching at trucks driving by. Guess the truck sounds sounded threatening. It wasn’t until my wife came out with the binoculars that a close up view was possible. Such noise coming from a tiny monkey. Last nights sunset came with their chorus. My imagination placed them at 5 five tall weighing 250 lbs.
The binoculars are staying here with our host for her future enjoyment. Which means it time to head over to Optics Planet to shop. Microscopes to binoculars, they have it all. If we knew ahead of time how close they were I’d have grabbed a pair of Night Vision Goggles!
Knowing what your risk tolerance and investment style are will help you choose investments more wisely. While there are many different types of investments that one can make, there are really only three specific investment styles – and those three styles tie in with your risk tolerance. The three investment styles are conservative, moderate, and aggressive.
Naturally, if you find that you have a low tolerance for risk, your investment style will most likely be conservative or moderate at best. If you have a high tolerance for risk, you will most likely be a moderate or aggressive investor. At the same time, your financial goals will also determine what style of investing you use.
For example, say you are renting a Lake Powell Houseboat. By simply seeking options such as timeshares, you may find that it really isn’t too much more. Smart shopping is really the way to go. Thinking outside of the box, you might find, really helps you at the end of the day. That my style, go with those that have the experience. In this case a little research turns up Sunrise Peak - the largest and most experienced luxury houseboat company on Lake Powell. Something to think about.
10 years ago while working with an Internet Service Provider, back in the day of dial-up, we batted around the idea of starting a Call Center. If memory serves me the first thing that came to my mind was the professional call centers would demolish this company in time.
Working with more captal, better technology and know-how, we didn’t stand a chance. I mean come on, would a company want their answering service handled by a company that was started as an after thought or one with does <a href=”http://www.mapcommunications.com/services/” target=”_blank”>Answering Service</a>* with a dynamic and proprietary answering service? *emphasized on purpose.
