Good Morning Friends,

It felt pretty good to be back in action once again. Business wise, things were quite brisk in the morning, but then everything petered out in the afternoon. Oh well, one cannot expect miracles when you are dealing with people and how they spend their money. You just have to go with the flow and take whatever comes your way, and when it comes your way. It is the same in all kinds of businesses I suspect; it is the nature of the beast.
.
And, speaking of the beast, just what do you think is going to happen in the stock market? Watching and being invested in the market can be a tough game sometimes, especially when the market is seemingly going nowhere quickly. Most of us small players are on the long side of things of course and we just want some extra income for our retirement. We are not professionals and we are not market manipulators and we do not have much control over the market and its gyrations at all. These are the domains of the big players and all of the combinations of politics and other things that control our markets. So, that means that most of us are simply spectators in the machinations of the financial world. And, that is what I am, just a small player, a guy who wants to wind up with some extra dough after all is said and done.

I wore my new black boots to work yesterday and they reminded me of Billy most of the day of course. And, that is what they are meant to do as you might expect. Some of the guys are still talking about Bill's death of course since it is still fresh on all of our minds. Sudden and unexpected deaths are like that as you are probably already aware. They have a tendency to jolt us and to face reality a little more squarely. Deaths make us appreciate our very own mortality and the fact that we are still alive. That is what death does. It just reminds us what the whole thing is all about. Life is about living and dying and nothing more than that. So, thanks for reading and have a nice day.
