Yep, I was so busy I haven't been on the computer for three days! And our only guests were the kids. I can't imagine the frenzy next April when various older relatives show up. It should be ugly. Why do we do it to ourselves? Obviously I don't have that great a grasp on human nature.
The good news is that everyone is gone and there is lots of turkey left for me! Even after sending everyone home with 'goodie bags'; there is still a lot. Leftover stuffed mushrooms too that are calling to me to be cooked for lunch today. Tough life but there I am.
I was reading Random Roger today and he was talking about buying country funds then being sure to know how much they are investing in various sectors of the market. Sometimes I start going cross-eyed from all the different things one needs to consider. Of course I could always go dump all our financial stuff on the desk of someone like Roger and let him/her do the work but then I'd miss out on all the challenge and frustration. Can't have that! It's much more fun to make your own mistakes. I held Barrick Gold (ABX) for years & years; it did absolutely nothing just sat there around $25 and paid maybe a 1% dividend. Now, of course, it's $50 still with a 1% dividend. Who exactly is making money from the $1,300 gold; it sure isn't the shareholder.
Have a good one!
