    Great weather, and three days at Universal, acting like Kids, and dancing in the street with Jake and Elwood, at the "Blues Brothers" show... coupled with an awesome wedding of my Nephew and his now-"blended" Family, and all the Nieces and Nephews, and their Kids...throw in some constant laughter with my Brothers, and some "quality time" with my 89-year-old Mom...it was a magical week !!! WELL worth it !!!

    Well Done my friend, well done. I'm so glad you got to create a memory of fun, family, and most of all love! Kinda makes all those hard work days "worth it!"
    THIS IS WHERE I WOULD PUT SOMETHING TO REPRESENT MY THINKING, BUT THEN THEY SHOW UP!

    BTW...the Dogs survived the kennel stay at the Vet's Office, too...Staff there said "They did GREAT !!!" Shared a large run for not much more than we'd pay a house-sitter...and they got their nails clipped, and a "free bath" !!!

    Sooo....I sold a couple of my "trading" stocks today...both were in the black, although I didn't make a killing....

    Quicken tells me an important fact, though : Between my YTD TSP earnings, stock/fund dividends, and realized gains/losses from actual trades, I've covered my 4% retirement fund withdrawal for the year. That doesn't include the 24 or so dividends that will be posted by the end of the year, either.

    That was my goal, so I'm happy !!!

    Yes...on paper, I AM holding some stinkers : NUGT and TNH come to mind.... OTOH, stuff like my DPS, DD, TQNT, and STX have done real well since I bought 'em !

    It's a marathon, not a sprint...isn't it !

    Good investing to all !!!

    It's always nice to be in the black vs. in the red. Nice move with you stocks. I have Best Buy stock and that took a nice jump yesterday, almost 7%.
    May the force be with us.

    Spent some free cash, and picked up a small lot of T (AT&T) yesterday in the Wife's buy-and-hold IRA account...T paid us ~ 6% this year in dividends...

    ...and it was on sale !!!
