Are You Ready For Some Football?

Well, I have seen a lot of things in my 50+ years, but I am not sure I seen referees getting a standing ovation and tipping their caps.  Somethings you just take for granted.  It took the real refs being gone for first three weeks to make us realize, "hey, we love these guys"!.

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.

Here is my dividend portfolio:

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.
