Hi Larry, It is a problem. I've made some dumb mistakes in the past because of boredom.
In the mean time I've been watching ACG climb back above $8.00 per share and offer us some nice value along with yield. Current yield is above 12% right now. I was joking yesterday that I should liquidate my entire portfolio and just own ACG and AIM it! Life would be pretty simple that way!
When we got back from our vacation I noticed we had at least one Great Horned Owl chick in one of our fir trees at the back of the property. We back up to a ravine and it apparently is a nice place for owls to live. In just a bit over a week this chick has been changing in appearance from all fluff and down to having some adult feathers. I took a coupld of photos in the AM yesterday as he(she) was facing east and the sunlight was on him. Couldn't get close enough for a really good shot, but I'm hoping I get something usable. My digital camera doesn't have enough zoom to do much good without climbing the tree.
It's nice to see spring here in Wisconsin. Daffodils are coming up, our magnolia will be in full bloom in about a week, weather permitting. Some of my shrubery is starting to green up. Maple trees are getting ready to bud. Ah, if only Wall Street would end their nuclear winter!
Best regards, Tom
