Shaq Attack

Shaquille Rashaun O'Neal or simply Shaq is considered to be one of the most dominant player in the history of the NBA. He is just so big that can dominate specially the low-post area. I also consider him as one of my favorite centers in the game of basketball.

Investing in Mutual Fund

I always have the great desire to invest in Mutual Fund but just don't know when to start. We may call it as a defensive move on my part but I just want to know the concept of the game prior to investing. Frankly, I was a bit skeptical because the market seem to be volatile. Hopefully, I will invest a portion of my hard-earned money in Mutual fund, the soonest possible time.

For the benefit of those who doesn't have any idea as to what Mutual fund is all about. A mutual fund is simply a financial intermediary that allows a group of investors to pool their money together with a predetermined investment objective. The mutual fund will have a fund manager who is responsible for investing the pooled money into specific securities (usually stocks or bonds). When you invest in a mutual fund, you are buying shares (or portions) of the mutual fund and become a shareholder of the fund. Many experts believe that it's one of the best investments ever created because they are very cost efficient and very easy to invest in.
It is is far more secure though and earn more than bank deposits.

When you invest in Mutual Fund, you are buying the shares at a specified amount or called net asset value per share(NAVPS).You can get a profit from it once you redeem the shares at a higher NAVPS.
Invest now..!!!
GOD BLESS US ALL.

Nadal, Federer to meet for third straight Wimbledon final

WIMBLEDON, England -- Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal will meet in their third consecutive Wimbledon final after commanding semifinal victories Friday.

Federer outplayed Marat Safin 6-3, 7-6 (3), 6-4 with a nearly flawless performance, leaving him one win from his sixth consecutive Wimbledon title and 13th Grand Slam championship. It was his 65th straight win on grass and 40th in a row at the All England Club.

"It's great, a beautiful feeling, being able to get the opportunity to win the title again," Federer said after the clinical 1-hour, 42-minute victory. "It means so much to me."

Nadal followed with a 6-1, 7-6 (3) 6-4 win over Rainer Schuettler, setting up a sixth Grand Slam final against Federer as he pursues his bid of becoming the first man to win the French Open and Wimbledon in the same year since Bjorn Borg in 1980.

Federer, who hasn't dropped a set all tournament, never lost serve against Safin and showed again why he is considered one of the greatest grass-court players. Federer, who beat Safin for the ninth time in 11 matches, advanced to his 16th Grand Slam final.

"It's a huge thrill every time when I get to another Wimbledon final," he said. "It's a great occasion."

Pacquiao is the best

We all get the idea how badly Manny killed Diaz. So let's get to the talk of him being the number one pound for pound fighter in the world. There are no questions about it with this guy. He brings it all to the table. The victory puts Pacquiao into the historic elite as he won a title in his fifth weight division. He has won titles at flyweight, junior featherweight (122), feather weight (126) and in March, he narrowly won a decision over Juan Manuel Marquez for the junior lightweight title (130).

Manny said after the fight that he felt much stronger and quicker at 135 which is a very scary thought for all the lightweights out there and is the biggest draw in the entire division. I mean we have some possible big time matches that Manny can go for. He could go for a huge mega fight at 140 to fight Ricky Hatton, who fights Paul Malignaggi in November. The thought of that fights makes my hands numb because I know it would be the most exciting and emotional fight I think he would ever see. Look for early 2009 for that fight to happen.

Back to many being the best fighter in the world. Look, for many years people have said that either Roy Jones Jr or Floyd Mayweather were the best fighters in the world. They are both outstanding fighters and deserve the recognition they both get. But after watching Manny Pacquiao fight Saturday night, those two guys are ballet dancers compared to Pacman. There are no doubts, Manny is the best!
