Within the past two weeks my neighbor, my lawyer, and my doctor each told me that Warren Buffet is suggesting that Americans buy shares in American companies. I tolerated the first two, but I really let my doctor have it today.  I blurted out - “AND???” “How does that apply to me and you?” “Are you a billionaire?” [...]

Muni Money vs. (NZD, NZ$ or Kiwi)

Ring Of Fire

Most times, watching the market is like watching the grass grow. Bores me to tears. I work hard to find opportunities.
Lately, watching the market is like watching a fire (a big one). It’s mesmerizing. I could watch it burn for hours.
On personal note, I’m glad I’m not it. On the other hand, I know many [...]
