Odd Stuff, eh ?

They're referring to the fact they have online mars maps now:

VERY COOL!

Google Mars eh?

Man, desperate to get that stock price back up!

I think they need to muzzle their CFO, Stefan . . . LoL . . .

Not too bad of an idea.

I was going to wait for this stock to come down some more, and then buy into it for a couple shares in the hopes it would rebound. I've turned my attention elsewhere.

Oh Yeah ? ! ? ! ?

You betcha sir. Once Google has some more market experience and gets their act together, I will give them a second look. Until then, there are other companies I am interested in investing in. My tax refund just came 🙂

How's that Balanced Fund working out for you Jet?

Stefan

Creeping Up Slowly . . . I think it's going to be a flat year all around . . .

Hopefully I'll have some decent gains, though . . .

I'm satisfied with my diversification . . .

My REIT has been the best performer so far at 11% . . .

My US Bond Index Yield is 4.82% . . . Not sure what to make of that, though . . .

I will always be happy with my Balanced Fund. It is growing at a rate that pleases me.

REITs....I've heard of a few that are good to invest in, but at this point I am staying away from anything to do with housing and the like. I'm hearing from multiple sources that this cycle is nearing its end for housing.

From what I've seen and read, Bonds are doing quite well so far this year; better than expected. Hopefully, it pans out as such and you reep the benefits.

I'm going hang on to the REIT. I'm in it for the long run and if this cycle tanks, then I'll be buying at a lower price. No Biggie. They've had incredible 30%+ gains over the last 3 yrs and right now are about one of the best performing sectors. It's good for balance, in a sense, too . . .

My Bond is just for balance during 'swings' and I'm not putting much into it. It's been flat for a while (it went 4 days, unchanged [?], which I thought was strange) but the yields are nice right now.
