Dance of Joy

Things are good for us today. Last Friday, my 401k finally went positive for the year after some disastrous decisions (learning opportunities) in the first quarter. And, on a professional level, we finally had a breakthrough on the manufacture of a Solid Trasar batch. I have struggled with this for years. We will be able to quadruple the batch size and the release characteristics are great!

Here is a great article entitled Bond-market timing is a loser's game. It says in part: “Consider the data, raw and unvarnished: Over the last five years, just 10% of the bond timing newsletters tracked by the HFD have outperformed a simply buy-and-hold strategy. Over the last ten years, the percentage is even lower, at just 6%. These proportions are significantly lower even than the already-quite-low success percentages among stock market timing newsletters.” -- Mark Hulbert 4/11/2007

TTFN, Don
