I’ve added some emails and have tried a test post. All I need is something more to write about.
Anyhow, life moves on. Soon we will be visiting our new granddaughter in Washington. She was born just a couple of weeks ago and we have yet to meet her.
Secondly, I am slowly paying off the bills. We recently refinanced to a 10 year loan at a very good, under 3%, rate. We are paying approx 25% extra each month and expect to pay off the house in five years. I’ve been learning to swing trade but am not very quick at picking up the tradecraft. The issue is that the market is no longer being managed by market fundamentals. There are several reasons for this including legislation that limits the knowledge regarding a given bank’s health, artificially low interest rates–worldwide, eight years of expanding money supply, and forcible closure of federal bonds. All of these conspire to push everyman into the market. And he is worse even than I am.
More later.
