moiramc - not quite. Just having a bit of time off at the moment - but no set date for when it ends - lol! I have spent about a year and a half away from the "normal" workforce the past 3 years.
I don't consider myself a "trader" - rather a "portfolio builder". I tried being a trader years ago and for one reason or another I was a dismal failure (but still kept my day job) - as most people are except when in strong bull markets like we have now (they get a bull market confused with the fact that they have a great ability to pick winning stocks). I also worked out that the big bucks are in long term trends - from the tough experience of selling out of quality stocks too soon. But hey - we all have to learn? The sad bit is that some do not - and I stir the crap out of them at times to wake them up so that they learn faster than I did.
I like small and medium cap stocks (< 600 million market cap) that display growth potential based on financial results and outlook. Have a few blue chips - but not enough to get excited about on a month to month basis like the small and medium caps.
Most of all - enjoy life - you can't take the money to the grave - nor should we work for someone else to the grave either.
Better stop here before I get too philosphical (excuse spelling).
The sad bit about fishing during the week is that most of the company I want are all working.
