Forrest’s Wealthwise offered 42% a year gains?
I see in the Tribune this morning that disgraced investment advisor Jeff Forrest has been charged with fraud by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Locals here know the story, some too intimately, but there is something that really stood out in the article I had not seen before. It’s this:
Forrest told WealthWise clients that [...]
Main Street greed, right here in San Luis Obispo
There is a lot of blame to go around in the credit crisis we are now having. But regardless of the inexcusable practices of financial institutions these last few years, it all started in the last decade when Bill Clinton rewrote Jimmy Carter’s 1977 Community Reinvestment Act in order to increase home ownership in minority [...]
Traffic tickets increasing in SLO County?
Cities and counties are hard up for revenues lately, and it seems that they have found a way to pick up some more cash. Instantly. What’s the secret? Give more traffic tickets. Now, I have no proof of this, except anecdotal stories. But, I can say with certainty that for the last few months I [...]
Have an Opinion? Start Writing
This county is crazy about expressing their opinions — from sending letters into the local papers to calling up Dave Congalton on the radio; but these only provide platforms for a fleeting moment: here today, gone tomorrow.

Latest on Mon, 19:49: So I was in line in the market and there was Obama the Savior on the cover of Men's Health magazine. Uh, a health magazine? A decades-long smoker? One who won't release his medical records (McCain released 1200 pages)? One could could die of lung cancer? Hmmm, could there be a little bias? Naw, not in this election! LOL!
: Warning! Be careful going to Santa Maria. If you must, don't go at night! Have you read about all the murders and robberies? It's getting bad.
: Goodbye Insomniac Video, sorry to see you go. Thanks to Bob Whiteford for his 12 years of serving our community.
: I'm happy airlines are leaving our airport! It will help reduce growth since many people will not move here unless they can easily fly in and out. Businesses will think twice too. We can have SLO to ourselves! And those of us staying in town more will spend our money locally, not on vacations. Staycation here! We'll still get tourists driving in from the north, south and east. Our tourism economy will survive.
: "They" say that all politics are local. The same greed and mismanagement that has led us to national failure will soon visit us in SLO if developers and "consultants" [read lobbyists] get their way and turn the small-town ambience of SLO into just another shopping stop between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Vote out incumbents and elect Terry MOHAN, Dan CARPENTER and John ASHBAUGH, who will represent the wishes of the majority and the general plan. They won't run SLO for the convenience of just a few but will "run" this town for the residents.
: Another beautiful day in paradise
: Isn't it nice that the tourists have gone home now! I love September and October.
: Comment wall, huh? That's sounds fun. Wish I had something interesting to say right now.
: Interesting site. I'll think about writing an article. Good idea.
