Not in particular. I am however planning to unload the small percentage of gold I have in early December. For some reason I think that when the world wakes up on December 22nd a large majority may have an epiphany... and these doomsday preppers shows on Discovery and TLC will lose traction.
...things aren't really any different than they were a week ago.
Why would it? Personally, I hope the "sore loser" selloff currently under way results in attractive bargains, but other than that things aren't really any different than they were a week ago.
I will be taking Dec. 21 off and staying home in case nutjobs get any crazy ideas. I was planning on spending the day deer hunting (not many safer places than deep in the woods with a high powered rifle), but DW wants me close to home.
I had to google 12/21 to see what was happening. I'm out of touch. Maybe I will sip on an extra med or two and just enjoy the day.
Where have you been?Save me the effort...... What is happening?
Looking at my food bill, I've been putting a whole lot of our money in my mouth, and washing it down with wine ...
Nope, why would it? Especially since nothing has changed, Obama was re-elected and control of Congress remains split...life goes on bra.
Depends on whether there will be any public companies in Colorado and/or Washington involved in the production and sale of legal marijuana. Might be quite the growth industry.
I did not know about the drive to legalize the recreational use of pot in these two states until yesterday. In CO, I read that it will be legal to own 1oz, and so many plants at home. No more pretending about medicinal use of pot, people in these states are.
Not sure about commercial growing, but if it is legal to do so, heck, one can just move to the state and put up some green houses. It should be an easy part-time job for an early retiree. Why buy stocks of some public companies if one can take a more active role and keep more of the profits? Be your own boss, keep your own hours, make good money, and get high from your own supply, what's not to like?
That's too bad. I have found the full text of Colorado's Amendment 64 here: Amendment 64: The Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol Act of 2012 | Yes on Amendment 64: The Colorado Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol.
They are going to levy a 15% sales tax (subject to further increase after 2017, once more people discover the pleasure of pot, I guess), and use the money for public schools. What an excellent idea! Use the kids' own money to build schools for them. Brilliant!
I may just have to come out of retirement, move up there to put my green thumb to use. Heh heh heh...
