Experienced refs blow calls as well, so I imagine the honeymoon will not last long.
Sitting out on my back deck, sipping a fruit smoothie and some coffee, while listening to Swiss Jazz Radio (Radio Swiss Jazz). Perfect day, birds chirping, leaves starting to turn and a crisp feeling to the air.
Weekend Update
Well, I guess we are 3/4 of the way through the year. It has been a great year for my investments. A few more like this and I will be sitting on the back deck all week (not sure that sounds that great). All in I am up a bit more than 20%. That is with a few fiascoes, but as they say, you have to break some eggs to make an omelet. I did "re-buy" GTAT on Friday. It had dropped a buck from my sell a week before, so I did save some bread.

Looks to be a busy first 15 days of October with almost $4,000 coming in (readers recall all figures have to be multiplied by a mystery factor to get my real dividends). Love giving dividends!

Hard to complain about these results, even if I have given a bit back. The Russell 3k actually had their dividend last week, .379.
