Off Topic: Ah, Spring Love...

Two Stockbrokers, whose firms I do business with, are engaged!
  
     Now, I'm exploring this.  It is Spring Fever run amuckor Does it have something to do with Market Conditions?  Spring Fever, I can glean no help from; but if it's Market Conditions, and I may be able to make something of it...

     Whether the institution of marriage will make these guys better Brokers is a question.  I figure they'll be of no use 1-3 months after the befuddlement of nuptials and not so much help a year hence as the marriage loses it's glow.  In five years, when the divorces are final, they'll become good drinking buddies at the Pub.  Alas, we've worked around this situation, before.

     Still, there's something in the back of my mind which asks, "why buy the cow when you're getting the milk for free".  But anyone who knows me, knows I'm probably the wrong guy for an opinion on the topic; being happy as a "confirmed bachelor" (Hmm...).  I have, long ago, learned Love has nothing to do with Logic.  Also, I know enough to keep whatever opinions I have to myself; save this one...


(I will apologize, in advance, to you girls for my
apparent misogynist humor.)

The "Rookie's" Advisory


I've got too much time on my hands?  No, but I have started another Blogging venture.  I would appreciate DaTra Group's participation in answering questions I receive from this site.  You fellas know enough about what we're doing, certainly, to answer questions issued by readers.  Remember how "Duh" we have been at times.  You may be able to help someone get a head start by avoiding our misTrades.  The idea is to expand the Investment Community through knowledge.  Contact me if you're interested.  Thanks.

Out of town...

I'm gone to the country, again.

Call if you can't live w/o me.
Will be checking DaTra Group Email @ O/N/C.

DOW hit 10K, today!!!, "Yippykya".




I escape to Ashe County (in the Mountains of North Carolina), and it is beautiful country.  I wouldn't recommend it for nightlife; besides, that is not why one visits there.  Road trip to sightsee real county locales, and spend the nights stargazing.  A good "get away".

Check out the place at these websites: http://visitwestjefferson.org/ or http://ashechamber.com/

Contrary to the photo I use to refer to my visits---take a look at Real Estate, there.  A good firm to deal with is Regency Properties: http://regencypropertiesnc.com/
