Gang, for those that regretfully stumble in here :p I am sorry for the lack of timely posts. To explain, I was away in Sydney for a week of training and when I returned, I had a tender to prepare and now my team leader is away giving me a teensy little more work to do in the week. This week ahead I can see the same, but will post when I can, and next week I will attempt to get back to business as usual. Sorry to let work get in the way of a good Brekky Edition, however, it pays so it get's the game time!
I might put a general post - not a brekky edition that might sum up the past few weeks now that I have finally caught up on my essential reading after the Sydney junket :p
Update on the RA portfolio too !!! My laptop has been returned without the hard drive being wiped (thankfully, although there is a backup) and with the current state of the markets, the current best thoughts are to keep it in the bank, however, in the 4th quarter this calendar year, will be some action. And to keep it real! I will start with the same bank account we have now. However, if readers remember the buy price and stop loss for the stocks we went into, they are currently sitting at IMI -48.2% and PRE -48.0%. Thankfully we put a stop loss at 15% and I am hoping that the lessons continue for the faithful that discipline is the key for investing. If we had invested with no rules, currently we would have lost 3 times as much as we have. Let this be an easy lesson to all that follow this thread. The bear market is no playground!!!! Markets go in cycles, and we will have our day in the sun, however, that will be at least Dec 08 but most likely 09 sometime.
Hoping your weekend wasn't as busy as mine
