The 5th bullish stock for 2010 should come from one of those awkward areas of life… marriage. Speaking of marriage, my friend is getting married in a few days. Should be a nice wedding… reception is at the Aloha Tower. I’m one of the grooms, so once again, I’m looking to make another foolish speech about friendship, life, and happiness. Lol. It’s all a lie! Nah, I have to be good to my boy so I’ll try not to sound trite (“you both deserve each other… kind of.”). So anyway, this is like the 6th wedding I’ve been to in the past 13 months, and I’m not sure if it’s seasonal, something in the water, or if we’re all just watching the world crumble and so we’re procastinating on getting hitched. It’s probably just a coincidence, but it’s worth investing in!
TheKnot.com is pretty a monopoly on wedding+internet retail. I like these types of companies because they control much of their destiny. You can group them together with VPRT (VistaPrint) and Shutterfly (SFLY), which are two other net companies that are taking advantage of trends. Just remember though, these are trends, and our memories of the .com era teach us to be cautious. Still, it’s too early to pull the plug, so say “I do” to KNOT… you can always breakup later.

You’re one of the grooms??! LOL.
I tried long KNOT and hung in there for a while….
I did KNOT make any money doing it.
My guess is the spate of weddings is more about your factors personal to you – your age, combined with the fact that you’re a popular guy. From your late 20s to mid- to late-30s, you’ll see an expected spike in marriages. Women obviously have a drive to marry and start having kids by the time they’re around 30, due to the time clock. And as their friends marry, they feel even more pressure to do so themselves.
If it were only driven by us guys, it would probably be pushed back by about a decade.
Knot = lost 2 fucking houses and my dog.grrr
SFLY = failblog. Ask Fly, he saw my Christmas Card this year.
