Hi Ken,

Thanks for the well wishes. Seem to be making some progress today, but have a long way to go. These muscle relaxers and pain pills, plus being strapped into a contraption that flexes the leg up and down...back and forth...for up to 8 hours a day, makes thinking clearly about investing difficult.

Have a good week.

Best regards,

Ray

Hi Ken, ...New Wall Street Tax?

The headline of this article caught my attention:
http://thehill.com/homenews/house/56789-afl-cio-dems-push-new-wall-street-tax

Here is a brief excerpt:
The AFL-CIO, one of the Democratic Party’s most powerful allies, would like to assess a small tax — about a tenth of a percent — on every stock transaction.


It doesn't seem like a great idea to have to pay tax every time one buys or sells stocks. Also, those taxes usually start off small, but the percentages tend to get bigger over time.

How are things with you; are you making money?

Best regards,

Jack
