Red, You are right about that! This is where we master one of our virtues.......patience. I talked to my step son and daughter in law yesterday <over a strawberry daq.,yum> I asked them about their overseas fund that they have been in for almost 7-8 years. They hadnt even bothered to look! YEOWWWWW!! I said....So we proceeded to look it up.....hey, they are still up alot....it was at 19-21 when they intially invested, its been as high as 56, its at about 42 now.....They want to hold with the same attitude they have had since buying it...Its the Janus Fund...Im saying to myself, <wow are these guys nutz?>....LOL!!! My mother has the same attitude with the 6 mutual funds she is in....They are telling me, that they will come back eventually......Heres me, watching every move of this market, thinking hmmmmmm, I thought I had patience! >gg<
Iggy is now a house iguana....he never leaves! He is even trained now to circle the kitchen for his water pan to appear!! LOL!! Sounds gross I know, but he mosies on down the hallway back to my daughters room, gets his spot on top of a huge stuffed, lion and falls back to sleep under the window where the sun comes in.<lazy lizard!, its true>..I have even seen him lately when I dont have time to get his vegetables to him <sometimes days, > he shares the cats, cat food!!....What a zoo!!!!
Keep the spirit Red.... Sandra |
