Sorry DJ , missed your question.
Getting fat today!!
I had a friend, through a friend, that when he talked, you had to listen.
I’m here reading and thinking about all of this information you guys are putting out here. Seems like we have the same problem,Old and not enough money.
Well, because of a divorce many years after I retired, there's not a whole lot of money that I'm willing to risk investing......she got the money and I got everything else and I can tell ya, it was the best investment money could buy!!
Had to look up TSX lol
Lol! Good thing the guy was still in the mood to ‘listen’ instead of an immediate whack-a-moly.
Oh, make no mistake, he didn't want to listen. I was lucky to get all my money back. Didn't make any either.
Should have asked you to make a connection to your friend’s – friend after my cousin scammed my uncle out of 10-grand in today’s cash and disappeared forever – 20+ years now w/o a trace and my uncle has since passed. Found out from his ex-wife, his second ex, he likely used it to pay off gambling debts. If I had to guess, he was in deeper and was whacked, now in some – deep water..
Getting nervous about the market, up again today, these sorts of dream-trends have a shelf-life. I know - no kidding Sherlock.
My ins guy and I weren't exactly 'die hard' friends but were enough that we could call each other from time to time if one of us had a question. Mine were usually about insurance and his were usually about something mechanical. Years back he bought a VW Thing and when he come over with it, I just said 'hope you don't expect me to work on that thing.' He laughed pretty good on that one. He knew my position on VW's of any kind and he had no intention of asking me to do that but did do some welding for him a time or two but did look over the Thing pretty good since I had never been around one before.
So do bad times. A player plays.
As Jim Crazy Crammer says.....you can make money when the market goes and and you can make money with the market goes down. One year I made 30k on just one stock selling covered calls when the market went down and learned how to do options when I got upside down on XOM back in around 08.
I enjoy the game, but anymore, it's on auto, with fine tuning like a radio, dial in for a little more clarity occasionally. I made my last big move when the market went to 18,000, today is just gravy.
Points on the board aren't as big a deal once the game is won, though definition of a win probably varies quite a bit.
My wife Theresa, is easy to live with. We were both raised in families where family was first and money second. Many times in our lives she has just looked at me and said, really. I know that means enough is enough. The fact that I will never starve to death is a job well done.
My wife believed in family first.....her family and I was last always. Didn't mind it so much at first but as the years ticked off, got tired of being treated like a door mat.
My brother was married three times and has lived with his GIRLFRIEND for 27 years. “Once bitten, twice shy.” I'm not sure what they say about a third............ I know what he says.
