I made comments in an earlier thread that my belated retirement was going to trigger a market correction. Well, here we are beginning my second week and we've given back all of 2015 gains (really just February's since January wasn't much). I couldn't take advantage of this event since it would completely disrupt the space time continuum (or something like that ). You just thought W2R's "WHEEEE" had power. This correction could go to 20+%.
My first week plus has been pretty uneventful otherwise. It's rained 4.25" which definitely broke any lingering drought people may have thought we were under. The high point was the lunch with aig888, Alan and LOL!.
My neighbor across the street has been laid off in a corporate reshuffle due to a private equity takeover of his company. He's in his mid-fifties and said he had enough money to not look for another job. He doesn't know what he wants to do. I mentioned that I was going to take my kayaks up to a local lake and he said he has been thinking of getting a kayak. I can give him a free trial.
He'll have a chance to see whether he really wants to work. I did say that if he wants to go back he needs to do it quickly because absences are not taken kindly to for management positions. If he's not looking hard within a month, he'll be creating an extra barrier for himself.
I got my COBRA forms in the mail today. I'm glad it's only money.
