New York was nice.

New York was nice. We stayed right near Time Square.

I really liked how well placed everything was. It was really easy to get around.

The stocks are also rebounding quite well. So well, of course, that I sold several things that continued to go much higher up :)

God bless!

New York Week

I travel to New York this week and I'm going to try to work hard and hang out with my wife in equal measure. I sometimes have trouble with that, but here's hoping.

My stocks did terribly in the month of November thus far, however now is a new option month so that always gives way to additional profit potential. Citigroup was severely downgraded this morning though, and that bodes very poorly for it unfortunately, and I have a ton of it :(

God Bless!

Enhancing!

I'm really working on enhancing a variety of areas of my life. Serving God, my marriage, work, and working out.

I've been making strides in serving God. I've started a few things that I intend to continue for a long while!

My marriage is going well, but I think I will put renewed focus on helping Stacie and really being a servant to her. This is the area that I'm going to focus on and an area of weakness for me.

My work is going well and I'm really enjoying the type of work I'm doing.

Working out is going well and I started doing 30 minutes of cardio on days where I don't have sore legs. 2 times this week :)

God bless!

Flying high!

The stocks are all flying high over the last 2 days. I'm not back to where I had been prior to my preemptive call on "go financials", but I'm close. I feel good about the fact that I did come close to picking the bottom. Of course, I was still off by about 20% over 7 days, so close is no cigar!

I, honestly, think in the future I will always hold off for one day on when I think it is time to bargain hunt. If I had done that this time, and still bought just one day after I would have avoided a lot of short term loss.

In other high flying news, my wife and I put down an offer on a house in Atlanta yesterday. I'm very hopeful that they will take it. If not, we are only prepared to up the offer very slightly. If we don't get this house, there are another 125,000 for sale in Atlanta, so we'll just have to wait a bit :)

God Bless!

Working hard on the new deal

I've gotten a nice new business deal going and I really enjoy the work and it is going to be phenomenal!

In other news, the stocks are doing well today, SO FAR. Will we have the late day plummet? Hopefully not. I don't think so. I was telling my wife yesterday that generally when something happens several days in a row, it probably won't happen for a while since the smart money is now working against the dumb money.

Anyway, my portfolio is up nicely thus far, we'll see if it holds :)

God Bless!

Yes, I did act too soon!

The financial stocks all fell by 10% or so from the point that I entered. Ouch.

Still, I like them for the long term and even within the next couple months I think they will show themselves to be good picks.

I just entered a couple days early.

In other news, my wife and I are buying a house in Georgia!

And, the biggest news: I started a daily Bible reading schedule today :)

God bless!

Financial Stocks, did I act too soon?

I decided to load up on Citibank and Bank of America yesterday and today. Today they went down by 5% or so each :( So, I added more :)

Did I move too early? I think that it may hurt my earnings in the short run, but long term, I think these are 2 juggernauts that will be around for a long time, so picking them up at this level should bear fruit over time at least.

They may have more downside, but the POSSIBLE down is pretty minimal and the POSSIBLE up is much more substantial.

So, I'll be patient and write calls and such to get back any money lost and earn income on these :)

God Bless!

New Start for November

I'm going to work on a new large deal in November. I will be going to Oregon next week. If it goes through then I think my investment business will leap forward quickly. When it begins. The government seems to have a habit of delaying/losing forms :(

We also go to phase 2 of the membership class with our Church over the weekend, so that will be great.

And, it is looking likely that my wife is Pregnant. Which is something we have been working on for a while, so if it holds true it will be great cause for celebration!

God Bless!
