San Francisco is one of my favorite cities in the world. I actually got to live there for two years; it is spectacular. I have not been there for four or five years, so I am looking forward to the trip, though I have to get up VERY early tomorrow.
My portfolios continue to fire on pretty much all cylinders.

You will note that even my most recent MFI tranche (less than a month old) is already up 8% and toasting the Russell 3000. I did a look-back at the 5 stocks from the 8/15/12 portfolio and they are up over 5% (KFY is screaming up), so it is just the time to own mid cap value stocks.
I just noticed that one of my dividend stocks (TCRD) declared a special 8 cent dividend. So that will be sweet at 42 cents (over $1,700 with my multiplier in cashola). I do not know if my followers go the dividend route, but there is something extremely satisfying about actually seeing a large dividend check deposited in your checking account. It is like "whoa", I got this money without working. VIAB and WU also go x dividend the next couple of days along with TCRD (CSQ went x dividend yesterday, that is $400 of "whoa" every month).
Anyway, I should probably hit the hay for that early start tomorrow. Happy investing.

Just wanted to thank you for the work you do on your blog. Not too many folks seem to write with questions or comments so I hope you know you aren't just writing into the void.
Thanks, Karl
Thanks Karl - I know people read the blog, but it is quiet out there at times.
