Happy Birthday CH - this should be the year your mansion gains in value.

Happy Birthday Coolhand.

Thanks for the HBs everyone!

I've been telling everyone that as of today I can begin ordering off the menu on the back page. (I'm 55 today). I hear the portions are smaller, so maybe this is my opportunity to start losing a little weight too.

Congratulations, I have 12 years on you. Still eat regular normal helpings, what the hell do they know!

Happy birthday CHL, from BooDog. Think I remember you from a couple other sites. Cheers! Have a great new year!

Folks, just to let you know ahead of time so you don't go crazy trying to find it, I am taking myself and the Seven Sentinels off the tracker after Monday (the last trading day of the year). My day job has been getting busier by the month and it promises to get even busier in the new year. It's just too much anymore to keep track of market action and then find time to make changes as needed.

I'll keep posting my blogs, however. I've been slowly evolving those postings and would like to think I'm getting better at it as time goes on.

CH, really sorry to see your analysis leave, but more sorry that work is taking so much of your time.

I will look forward to what you post, so thanks for keeping up with the blog.

Good luck and God bless!

Sometimes you gotta do what you have to do CH, no problem. We still appreciate your input.

Okay, change one. I am no longer tracking the Seven Sentinels, but I did decide to keep my profile on the tracker at the last minute.

And while I've taken a lengthy hiatus from posting on a regular basis, I'm going to try to find the time to post a bit more. Tonight I'd like to post a chart of a stock that I bought yesterday another that I bought today. I treat my IRAs a bit differently than TSP as I have a whole lot more flexibility in the brokerage account.

The first stock I picked up is Microsoft. You can see that the 50 dma passed through the 200 dma not too long ago and price is now much more attractive. This is still a solid company and they are sitting on a mountain of cash. Not to mention they pay a decent quarterly dividend of about 3.3%.

Very similar situation with Southern Company. The 50 dma is below the 200 dma and the company is on solid footing. And being a utility they should do well in an economic downturn. This bull market is getting long-in-the-tooth after all. They pay a quarterly dividend of about 4.5%.

I generally expect to hold these stocks for the longer term. They appear to have good upside potential and as I mentioned, will pay handsome dividends while I wait for anticipated price appreciation in the months to come.

Good to see you back CH! Thanks for the charts!

CH, welcome back. Picked up some nice stock. Good luck.
