Thanks for reminding me that I have the opportunity to refinance my mortgage and reduce my monthly payments. Also, we are in the process of deciding what new car we are going to buy. We may be able to get a loan from with zero interest from the dealer/manufacturer. Gee.. with all the money you continually brag about earning...why not negotiate a better discount and pay cash for the vehicle? He's highly leveraged, and hopes to be a dentist in his next life, when he will stay in high school. I can certainly understand taking advantage of the rates right now to refinance a house mortgage, but going into debt for consumer spending? Nah. I am retiring in 10 years Harry, 10 years earlier than you will start collecting your full social security bene's. And, the current market conditions will not affect my retirement plans. As other have said if the Dow goes down a couple of thousand points it is a buying opportunity. Maybe when you retire in 10 years, you can enroll in high school and get your GED. Won't need to, I will have retired 10 years sooner than most my age at a higher standard of living than I have now. Leaving you free to pursue intellectual interests, no doubt. I can't think of many things more useless than being "retired." I understand Harry, you can't retire, you neglected to invest your money in the damn corporations and you stuffed it all in a mattress. No, all you have is about $20,000 in one dollar bills. |

That stuff doesn't come out of the holding take under the double with without a pump. |

One of the more interesting things I became involved with was back testing - I started doing this about ten years or so ago using 1 month, 6 month, 18 month, 36 month spans. It's really an interesting way to determine the value of any long term investment. Now, I've got programs that will forward test, back test, sideways test, upside down test... :) I don't trade as much as invest long term. Every once in a while you get interested in something or the other and invest in that. Solar stocks recently have been a winner for me - funds and single intestments. Probably will be handing those off to the kids. I've mentioned this before, but I still have IBM stock from thirty years ago. :) What a lousy hold that has been. 8-) |
