How Does Your Portfolio Look?

So, here I am studying economics and I say to myself, "self, aside from semi-understanding the current global economic crisis that is now upon us, there's GOT to be some real-world application to all this stuff I'm learning." Welp. I think I found a pretty cool correllation. You see, it's the theory of expectations. If the market THINKS that the price of something will go up, they buy it - which increases demand for that item which then increases the price. Vwalla! They thought the price would go up... and it did. Do you see where I'm going with this yet?! If you think that your kids will never amount to anything - they won't. Think about it. I was lucky enough to have parents that purchased lots and lots of stock in Mike Incorporated when I went public about 28 years ago. They haven't sold any of it. They're in it for the long term. No day-traders in this business!

As a dad, I'm happy to say that my portfolio has never looked better.

Pumpkin Fun!

Happy Halloween!

Flash From The Past

You ever wonder what our kids will think of the way we dress right now and think to themselves, "What were they thinking?!" I know I've thought that same thing a time or two. about my parents. Welp. It's about time I tried to put myself in their shoes and see what it's like to be a handsome devil from 1980. Whadaya think?

What a catch. If I do say so myself. Or as Jodie would say, "Ow OWWW!!"

What Could Be Better?!

Do you remember those days as a child when you held a tasty snack in one hand and another tasty snack in the other hand? And the only thing better than two hands full of yummy food would be to combine them for the ultimate taste sensation? Now, let me clarify here; these aren't things like raisins and chocolate, or peanut butter and apples. No way. This would be stuff like... say... Peanut butter and grapes..... on top of raisin bread.

Doesn't that look AWEsome?! Kalli surprised us with this little gem. It's like a little grape Stone Henge on bread.

That looks like one tasty grape doohickie.

Maybe I'll try me one of them things. I'll put it on my bucket list, right next to raiding an ant hill.

At least she left off the parmesan cheese.
