Well -- there's not much to write about.


Funny though -- when everyone talks about a 10% "correction" -- we don't get it. That's the way the market works -- which is why waiting and debating and sitting on the sidelines just costs you money over time. If you're always waiting for the perfect time to buy - you're never getting anywhere.

I had 3MM sitting waiting for the big move down - the one that hasn't come so far. So I'm just as guilty of this as anyone else. I put some of it to work last week and some more today. Can't just be sitting on cash - which is losing money IMHO since it's employees on vacation and being non-productive. Who does that?!?!?

So back into my usual parking spots.

It's okay... I'm okay with it. Not having a big down draft is okay.... nobody is spooked out of the market. Just having some normal days or weeks or months in the market is good. Trade on fundamentals... and not all this gibberish. The companies you invest in should have good solid earnings reports - that's all you need to know. They're making money - and they're willing to share it with you via dividends because you ARE an owner of the company (makes ya feel kinda important huh!? LOL).
