You deserve it. When I joined HotCopper I'd been holding ALK for a while, but had never talked to anyone about it, and knew very little about the stock market in general. Knew ALK had a rare earths project in development, and that the US military had labeled rare earth supply to be a strategic vulnerability. Also knew about the spat between Japan and China in 2011, which led to China cutting off rare earth supply, and then flooding the market, or at least resuming supply. You and other regulars here really helped me understand what great companies ALK and ASM are, and for that I am very grateful. Anyway, here's some food for thought regarding your retirement ute decision:

Disclaimer: I drive a 2003 Hyundai Excel lol and know nothing about cars. Well, I can change the oil and oil filter, brake lights, and a few other basic things, but I know next to nothing about new cars, and drive as little as possible.
