Chocolate covered Strawberries, made at home are very special, much appreciated and simple to make...plus you and your sweetie will not feel as guilty because it has healthy fruit bathed in the greatest concoction ever made to bring out good warm feelings of sincere appreciation! YUM! But for those who don't have time...or forget, a quick strawberry shake...with great vanilla ice cream and fresh, frozen, crushed or pureed strawberries would be great too! ....

Yummmm.. I think the bottom left picture is showing strawberries covered with white chocolate that has a little food color added to brighten things up...plus the candy sprinkles look good too! Very creative!

Going 30%G 20%C 50%S COB today, banking some of these profits but still in the game with diversity.
I'm hoping to embed above 80 on Slow Stochastic on both S and C next week.

Roses too? Trying to put me more in debt? Poor me has valentines day, wedding anniversary and birthday in the same month.

Good luck with the investing. I am suffering FOMO since I got out before the elections. Why is getting back in even a little bit so difficult for a retired person?

PO

 

[DreamboatAnnie]

Okay PO... how bout a single very beautiful rose. No old crinkly brown stuff on it! I could make a joke about that, but I will resist! lol...:embarrest:

Yes, I should think it is hard to be in equities when retired. But gotta make it last.... Study, good strategy, patience and a Stop. I am working on all those. I find it very difficult to go in more than 50%, but when I do, most times I wish I had gone all in to enable exiting after making some coin. Working on that. I dunno... maybe a lil brain glitch needs fixing...lol...:nuts:

I still think the set up is good for entry, but believe it pulls back just a tad this coming week. The pull back might be time for entry of my remaining 50%, but will be scary if I do....as one just really never knows what will happen.

Best wishes to you PO! Hope to see you at the TSPTalk Poker game this Sunday night!

Best wishes to Everyone*! :smile:

Hard to not get greedy.. I'm in 25% and can't help but think how much better making 4x as much in two days would feel... Then I remeber how bad I felt when I was down about 40k when covid hit... Ouch.

Re: ravensfan's Account Talk

The $1.7T tax refund took a lot out the bank as well.

Folks... lets get real here! Nothing came out of a bank. It is all Borrowed and our children and grandchildren will be paying it back, if they can with what little of a country WE will leave them.

If we can't get politicians to stop spending what we do not have, not only will our economy and livelihood suffer, but other bad countries will own us and they pretty much already do...which is due to politicians on both sides who have been selling us out for decades, lining their pockets and receiving tons from large greedy corporations who see China as the Honey pot !

Do you hear anyone badmouthing China?... to include corporate owned media? Yet we still keep sticking our head in the sand, buying the stories we are told about climate change being our greatest enemy, while our true greatest enemy, China, which is already at war with us, continues laughing at us as we feed them our money for them to defeat us.

They know we are a country divided...so easily done. So just keep bickering at each other and feed the machine with your dollars. That is what the Chinese Communist party wants! Does anyone think twice and look at which country made the items you want to buy before adding them to your cart? Do you stop when you see the words "Made In China"? Have you noticed how items on line now just say "imported"? Hummm... send in a question on that before you buy! Go on Ebay for glassware and other everyday items and consider buying antique items and some made in the 1940s, 1950s, etc.. Beautiful American made Anchor Hocking and other goods! https://www.anchorhocking.com/

Ok...enough! :blink:

Re: ravensfan's Account Talk

Oh yes...here are some very pretty, sturdy, good grip Anchor Hocking White Hall Cubist glasses I started collecting and giving as gifts.

PS. They make you want to drink water!!! The water even tastes better when drinking from them!!! :laugh: Oh soooo beautiful.

I’m pretty sure every family in my part of the country had some of those glasses at one time or another. Very comfortable to hold too.

Yep, ours were green, and my parents are 87 and still have those glasses LOL.

 

[DreamboatAnnie]

Lol... I love it Tsunami-your folks have Great taste! What can one say-- the glasses are well made, don't slip out of your hand due to the unique shape that's perfect for big and little fingers, has thick glass so it doesn't sweat as much, plus is footed to keep your table dry. They come in a smaller footed size perfect for drinking milk. Come in many colors including about 4 shades of blue of which I have three. I now have clear, which catches light beautifully... plus blue pictured previously, dark teal and my absolute hands-down favorite and rarest...aqua!

Aqua..much prettier than pictured...looks like your looking into water in the Bahamas! Also own a couple peach/pink and will be looking to find Ruby stained.


Teal

 

[DreamboatAnnie]

Ok...enough on glasses. lol... I want to put in my other 50%, but waiting for a small pull back that will not wipe out what I've earned so far this month... so not making any move today. More schools opening, more folks will start working...good for everyone. Only thing to worry about is politicians talking about reversing tax cuts, wealth tax (unconstitutional, I should think ...plus nightmare for IRS to implement), and new resistant Corona strains with current vaccines not effective??? I think I heard one African country report one vaccine was not effective. Just need to keep eye on that.

What a rocket! Loving it! Just looked at my balance. .. wooo...hooo....

Best wishes to you All* !!!! :smile:

 

[DreamboatAnnie]

Tis a thing of beauty! Plus futures are up! Eeeee...no pullback yet.. Just gonna hold on to the rocket!
Just saw Tracker... 10% vertical rise so far this month.....Wow!


It's broken through trend line!
