Well, I believe at the time of my last buy it was just over 14%, so 21% is a good thing. :) 08/07/2017 10:01:45 Bought 200 TIS @ 8.965 08/07/2017 09:46:30 Bought 300 TIS @ 8.75 I don't think it is currently trading at half what it will trade at. All else equal, a double from here will make it a 35% position. Real dumb reason - because I can, and still hit income goals. Buying too early was a mistake, but not adding at what I believed to be bargain prices, I felt would have been a second one. I could sell those last 500 shares for a 55% gain, but that doesn't make sense to me, just to have a smaller position. There are other reasons I have decided to play this one out: our healthcare costs are not even 20% of what I set aside, so I see no reason we will be pulling from here. My buddy's fatal cancer diagnosis weighs on me. If I average out the ages of my dad and his only brother when they passed, I died a few months ago. I'm having too much fun with my grandsons to worry about money I am not going to need. I am handing this over to my son-in-law when I turn 65 anyway, although I might just sell that last thousand shares of TIS first, and take the cash.:) Maybe it just humors me and I am nuts. :)
