I hope those antibiotics have started to kick that infection in the butt.

Thank you so much for keeping us up to date on how Debs is doing, I wish the

news was better but we will keep praying for our Debs to be well. If you

speak to her today please send my love and hugs. I’m really worried about

her.

So you trade, stressful stuff that! I’ve been so tempted to give it a bash

on the Internet, but am terrified of getting “addicted” and treating it like

a casino. I get so excited watching the markets sometimes thinking of how

much I could have made if I followed this or that hunch LOL!

I used to follow more closely but haven’t got the time now, working in a

bank the main thing that stresses us is the interest rate cuts as a result

of it but banks have become a safer, if not very profitable, option for risk

averse investors for the moment. I do invest in an offshore fund that is

managed by the group I work for, very depressing at the moment so I’m

definitely not going to be buying that Lear Jet anytime soon LOL! I’ve

invested in a US markets mixed fund and a European one to try and balance my

risk. I look at it as a long-term investment anyway so I’m not stressed;

it’s bound to outstrip anything I could get from a bank in the longer term.

My CEO is an absolute fanatic and plays the markets all the time (I wonder

if he does anything else sometimes LOL!) he is a firm believer that there is

still some downward correction needed for the markets to reflect their true

value, a brilliant but not very optimistic man in general so I don’t know if

he should be taken seriously.

Hopefully with all the new measures being taken investor confidence will

improve and mom and pop will venture back in and make things interesting

again.

Gosh I’d better stop blabbing!

I hope you have a good nights sleep tonight!

Hugs,

Heidi
