Me too my friend... me too. 
Perhaps too much so.
Hey! I asked my wife for an "8 Ball" for Christmas this year.
Hope I've been good.

Does it look like this one? If so... I gotta bat; can I help?
I feel your pain FT. I stayed in one more day because I caught one and am holding it hostage............
Well... here I sit on a day of annual leave. I'm still painting my 2 story home (Behr Exterior Premium Plus with Nano Guard technology - $148.00 per 5 Gal) and it's going slow, but very well. Roll and Brush; no spray. This is perhaps the best exterior paint I've ever applied; easy to use, goes on great, cleans up easy! Those contract painters can KMA; $1000 labor to paint my home... NOT EVEN! I feel sorry for those who have to pay these thiefs.
I made a hare brained jump to the S-Pit for today on gut feeling. Hope those 3 witches are kind this afternoon, or else I'm gonna ask S&S to turn her monkeys loose on them. The bigger question I have is how do I position myself for Monday? Man I need that magic 8 ball. 20 minutes to decide...

An investment misque; very minor IMHO. Perhaps this week will be a little more profitable. Finished the last week out at 21.70% YTD. While considered risky by some (being invested in internationals over this Christmas with the current European terrorism fears & threats on the table) I feel I'm in a decent position to get a good run into the new year. There sure are alot of folks shopping here in San Antonio. The parking lots are all jamed full; even in the pouring rain.
I feel pretty good, and humble being parked in the I-Pit going into the New Year. Too all... Merry Christmas.

I took this quote from a posted MSNBC interview with Warren Buffet on 20 March 2006:
"I don't expect any enormous returns at all, either for Berkshire or the market; Overall, 6 to 8 percent is what I think people can expect."

I think we all did pretty damn good this year.

Fivetears,
Perhaps we did better proportionately because as smaller investors we have more fexibility to move our allocations, and to adust quicker by using technical analysis in order to react faster than he can. Big mutual funds and/or large investors have a harder time adjusting and managing the millions of dollars they command. Merry Christmas!

I hadn't thought of it that way before. I figured they (the Warren Buffet rich investor types) had the advantage, being they could react and move by the daily trading day second. I've always felt we've had the disadvantage working under our trading rules. For our members to be pulling 20%+ rabbits out of the hat... I just find that impressive, compared to what Mr. Buffet thought was possible for the market year. Even our BAH'ers did very well. It was a good year indeed. To beat one of the richest investors odds placed before us back in March... just gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. We did well.

yep, we did well beating the S&P 500, better still beating L2040...though I must point out Mr. Buffet's funds (BRK.A) and (BRK.B) did 23.4% and 24.0% respectively
This makes it even better. To nearly touch the return rate performance level of the "Warren Buffet" sponsored Berkshire Hathaway investment funds is quite an achievement. No one can deny Fundsurfer did one heck of a job this year. I'd also be willing to bet Berkshire Hathaway has some serious computer programs making nearly all the decisions too. Again... what an achievement.
